Yes, it's called Plan C after failing to get Dwight or Bynum and will now be an all out pursuit of Al Jefferson.

Similarly, I expect trade rumors regarding the Rockets trying to peel Rondo away from the Celtics. After all, it wouldn't be an NBA season without the Celtics needing to blow it all up according to everyone.


You're not gonna suggest #tradeamare to the Rockets? C'mon, Albert...you know Morey wants a star and I know you want Amar'e gone. :lol:

Lopez at 4 years/$61 million > than Afflalo/Harrington at 4 years/$52 million

I hate Dolan because Dolan is awful in all facets. It has nothing to do with Jeremy Lin.

Who would have Lin's 3rd year hurt the most? The Knicks? They're capped out anyway. The only person it was hurting was James Dolan's pocket. There was no reason he should not have been on this team other than sheer stupidity or pettiness. Either way, that argument is long gone.

The argument here is that the Knicks once had the cache of the Lakers (ofcourse, not even close to them but more respectable than what they have now) before Dolan came around and buried it all. They were able to lure great coaches and players to their team and built championship ballclubs. Now? After 10 years of incompetence, no player is putting their career and chances of a title in the hands of James Dolan. Jerry Buss is a proven winner. Dolan is not. If the Knicks had Dr. Buss we would be the ones making these moves. Alas, here we are with our Felton's and Kidd's.


Buss has been great. They have never made a move to set them back for years. They do a great job of continuing winning. Dwight will carry the torch when Kobe is gone. Tremendous job by the Lakers.

But I could bash the Celtics pre-Garnett, the Sixers, the Bucks, Clippers, Nets.

The Knicks have fell real low. But Im not gonna take an opportunity to bash the Knicks cause the Lakers to another supertsar center from them.

But its a forum to express frustration so go ahead. But the post-Lin era on this board is crazy.

So the competitive balance is where?
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

Very OT, but this means nothing. This isn't the NFL or MLB. The play almost the same schedule as an other team in the East, it doesn't help Miami at all. Divisions in the NBA are so meaningless.

Lakers have a 1 year window, Kobe and Nash aren't getting any younger or better or healthier. It will be a challenge even this year for D12 (recovering from back surgery), Kobe, and Nash to all stay healthy and play at a high level for the entire season and playoffs.

I'm more worried about the Sixers now. Screw L.A we only play them twice. Sixers are in our damn division and just got better.

Yea but Dwight gave them problems and Orl got some wins off of them. Now they can rest 2 of their big 3 in every division game and still win.

Meanwhile we have Bynum coming into our division, an improved Nets team and a revamped Celtics team. Like why even play the games anymore?

Harrington, Afflalo, 2 scrubs and 3 PROTECTED picks = Dwight?


They had way better deals. Feel bad for Orl fans and that GM should be fired on the spot.


Thats what the Lakers always do. They have been doing this since there existence. I dont hate them. Its crazy how these team bend over for the every time.
