Yeah. I can't figure out a realistic Melo-Bron line up. Seems like we would be vulnerable to teams with a larger front line.

I don't think it will be a problem. Ever watch Kieff guard LeBron? Kieff looks tiny. And he's no bigger than Melo. My guess is that with a big like Randolph, they'd have to tag team. But my god, would they put Randolph on LeBron or Melo? Yeesh!

There's also benches. We'll still have a bench. Don't think every team in the league won't be scratching their heads trying to figure out how to guard our front line. They're not going to be drooling at the opportunity to exploit it, you can count on that.

With all that I wonder how our meeting went tonight.

I agree....don't want him. He's to old for our young core. [/sarcasm]

A fellow Suns, Yankees and Dolphins fan? Forget LeBron...I've found my sports soulmate.

I was just looking at that and wondered how someone could be a Phx, Boston, NY and Miami fan. I just don't understand you guys.

I've seen other guys who are like Lakers, Yankees, and Patriots fans and stuff which looks like they adopted their fandom in 2001 and picked the best teams. As long as there is at least one or two bad teams in there it doesn't seem as bad.

I can't believe that if we got LeBron and Melo people would be worried about what positions they would play. C'mon! It wouldn't really matter. They take turns or whatever. Basketball is a fluid game. LeBron would probably guard players like Griffin and Aldridge and I doubt they would have an easy time.

I am actually REALLY optimistic that we have not heard ONE report of the Suns making a move for anyone...all we've heard is that we've met with Lebron's agent (which could be about Bledsoe) so many times in these situations it's the team that comes out of nowhere that gets the player

Honestly thinking:

55% Heat
43% Cavs
1% Suns
1% Knicks

If accurate, and Ray Ray is correct about the meeting, wow.

That looks like our lottery draft position odds pre draft lottery.

They might still be meeting?

The longer the meeting, the better the chances, no?

Nice explanation. The reason I have a Chargers logo is because I am a little older and when I was a kid the Cards hadn't move to AZ yet so I was a Chargers fan with Fouts, Winslow, etc. I became a Cards fan and still am, but I am not a guy to switch loyalties, so I am first and foremost a Chargers fan, but definitely pull for the Cards in the NFC. Love Ace Ventura too.

For some reason the image you posted isn't showing on my IPad.

Hopefully it's not porn. You'll get suspended if you post dirty pictures. :lol:

I have no idea why we'd trade Dragic for a package including Rondo. Dragic fits next to Bledsoe because of his size and shooting ability. Rondo has neither. Bledsoes perimeter shooting is spotty and neither has the size to play fulltime SG (though bledsoe probably has the strength for it).

If what rayray said is accurate and Dragic is rumored to be apart of at trade to net us a star, I can only see it being Love. I believe when Love was first put on the block a lot of rumors had Minny wanting Dragic(for whatever reason). Maybe with GS refusing to add Klay they have started considering other destinations?

Maybe refresh?

If you know the character, it is semi porn related.
