I don't think Monroe has signed the QO yet, he just threatened to. To be honest I don't see a lot of teams wanting to get him, he's probably about to demand max money and most teams in the league already have a great PG. And Rondo needs to be on a team that fits him, you can't just plug him into any team or you'll have spacing problems in most of them. Knicks is not a great fit for him imo, and neither is Houston. Either he goes to Sacramento for McLemore and filler or the Monroe S&T happens, I don't see a lot of realistic possibilities for him tbh.

Former Clippers' asset, Danny Ferry, becomes a pain-in-the-rear for yet another organization:

"Redacted" NBA Scouting Reports 

Post#1424 » by Ranma » Thu Sep 18, 2014 7:02 am

An interesting read that sheds more light on certain players, a coach, and even owner. More revealed in link below.

Jason Concepcion, Grantland (9/17/14)
2011-14 Former Pacers Player wrote:Everyone there was worried about Roy. He’s great for your defense when he’s engaged but the dude is just flaky. He would just sit at his locker during halftimes and after the game just smiling, being like, everything’s great, everything’s great. Meanwhile, he was working on zero everythings. There were all types of rumors out there but none of that was true. As far as I know, anyway. I don’t know, they never really talked to me much after Roy called me selfish. I know he was talking about me. He’d always say, “I need the ball. I need the ball.” Meanwhile he got like two points on eight shots, no rebounds, and his post moves look like they need a hand crank to start them up. Toward the end, Larry was making us tweet out these pictures of us pretending we all liked each other. I was never in those. I’m from Brooklyn, I ain’t never fished in my life.

2013-14 Former Pistons Staff Member wrote:We used to beg Josh not to shoot threes. Literally, guys would offer him cash not to shoot. Everyone but Drummond, who couldn’t say **** because of his free throws. Josh took over three attempts a game at 26 percent! Brandon was pissed all those misses were messing up his stats. Chauncey would beg him not shoot threes but Josh wouldn’t listen and I think that’s partially how Chauncey knew it was finally time to retire besides him being done three years ago.

It would make sense that it is a parody now that you've pointed it out, QRich3, since the screenshots from each supposedly different scouting report are in the same format and style. I know Grantland does some parody stuff but I'm unfamiliar with how often. Color me fooled on this one. :oops:

Case of Rabies for T-Wolves? 

Post#1428 » by Ranma » Fri Sep 19, 2014 8:42 pm

Looks like the insanity remains within the Timberwolves organization despite the departure of David Kahn. Apparently they're looking at Bledsoe to be the starting SG as Rubio's backcourt mate where the 6-1 and 6-4 guards play the off guard and point guard positions, respectively, while switching positions defensively.

Not only did he draft it, he went out of his way to acquire the pick to do it. He also refused to include him in the Chris Paul trade even though it looked like the trade was not gonna happen without him. Man I miss Oshley, he was the best executive we ever had and the guy that planted the seed for us to have the team we have today. There's nothing I would love more than Ballmer stealing him back from Portland and kicking Wohl to the curb, and Doc's executive powers with him :(

PS- Another instance of Woj brown-nosing the executives that treat him well SMH

Kris Humphries: Beverly Hills Co** 

Post#1438 » by Ranma » Wed Oct 15, 2014 6:02 am

John Schreiber, MyNewsLA.com (10/14/14)
A judge on Tuesday indicated he is inclined to dismiss a lawsuit by a woman who alleges Washington Wizards forward Kris Humphries gave her herpes simplex type 1 during a September 2010 encounter at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel.

Steve Nash has been declared out for the entire season. Hate the Lakers but I've always liked Nash. He was a really good player and good guy. Unfortunate for him.

He should have never left Phoenix. I'd like to see him become a coach. I don't know if that's on his radar or not, but he'll have plenty of time to think about it.

It sucks to see players go out this way.
