Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Brooklyn has reached agreement on a 4-year, $61 million max deal with Brook Lopez, league source tells Y! Sports.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Lopez is expected to sign deal tonight, and thus, the Dwight Howard pursuit is officially over for the summer.

Thanks for the idea Ahmadab!

STRAP-IN!!!

Who is going to play SF on Houston's 2012-2013 dream team post trade?

Something good will happen here!!!

"There are people that do it a certain, established way, and it has become tradition. Not a big deal. If you want to do a spec thread cause you think it would be cool to be part of that tradition, feel free, but keep in mind that it will need to be formatted according to certain established parameters. If you throw up what can only be described as a very poor thread it will not be received well, and honestly I can't imagine why you'd want to do so in the first place. "

That is from mod eyriq for all you who look up to these mods thinking that they are the end all be all. See on RealGM there is a way to conform or don't post at all.

So eryiq DO NOT PM me again and try to school me on how to properly post a pretty thread.

Eyriq and TheMagicOne are fighting over how to make a new thread.

Predictions for this thread
- Coach finally hired
- Dwight still here

Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
One more thing on Rockets-Magic talks; they've been ongoing all week. LA-Magic talks also not new, but would involve Rockets as 3rd team.

I'm just thinking this through Houston's eyes. Is it our goal to bring Hedo back, keep Parsons, take back less contracts so we can sign a new SF (is there one on the market?).

The 1st is most likely to happen. The 2nd one, that's not so bad if that happened.

Dude..I'm not one to normally agree with the mods but your thread was so ugly. No images. Nothing about the number 40. You even accidently copy + pasted the 39th thread's OP's location/information/sig etc. I'm not sure why you're getting so angry over a poorly formatted thread

Seriously, how many times have we said this. But it would make sense if one was hired in this one.

BadMofoPimp · Post #20 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:38 pm

Wait, what the hell is XL. Isn't that Extra Large. I thought number 40 is like XV or like XXXX or something like that.
