The Gordon Hayward Thread

[dre4bobcats]

Hawks get Horford back, Cavs may get Lebron, Nets get Lopez back. Losing McRoberts was a big blow, Vonleh may not contribute much for a while, and Hairston is an idiot.

Its a possibility.

Ok

Cavs
Bulls
Pacers
Raptors
Nets
Wizards
Hawks
Hornets

Heat would be the team out without Lebron or Bosh..And the rest of the teams are wayyy behind. not unless Melo stays and phil jackson pulls a rabbit out of his a$$. I would give us a 60% chance to make the playoffs if we do NOTHING ELSE including not signing hayward.

It's a possibility (injuries happen) but I think it's a slim one. Horford and Lopez are injured every year though, so it's a higher possibility the miss more time than our guys do (knocks on wood).

Mainly just frustration on my part.

Ditto, I can't wait for free agency to be over so we can start talking about the team and upcoming season.

We are one of nine or ten teams that can make the playoffs, next season.

Five or six, won't even try.

Yeah, I waited for free agency and was pumped about it. Now Im rather drained and bored by it.

Ichiro - i think you are the only person on the planet who thinks there is even a 0.00000001% chance of the hornets signing both lance and hayward. absolutely nothing in the news has suggested an idea has even been thought about. getting angry about a make believe scenario that you made up in your head that doesnt happen just doesnt seem like the best idea.

So you're saying there's a chance...

you made me laugh with that comment. kudos.

Its all because of the Miami heat not being honest and straightforward. They really want to kick bosh and wade to the curb and bring in melo. They just dont have it in them to look like jerks in the process.

What are you talking about. It's going down right now!

Seriousness of Cavs offer and the delay in Lebron's decision tonight leads Bosh to pick Houston before midnight so they can retain Parsons.

Tomorrow Melo swerves everyone, spurns NY and goes to Miami!

Lebron follows suit, twists the knife into Bosh and Cleveland's back.

Oh yeah, you know it happening.

Bosh's mancrush won't allow it. He won't go until Bron is certifiable.

[chabber]

That's where the meeting tonight fits in. Riley and Lebron met just in case it doesn't work out and Bosh hangs on as you suggest. Lebron had to make sure Riley will step up if he has to, invoke his Godfather persona and hang Bosh out to dry. Then it all happens anyway!

Just an FYI.. With restricted free agents sign and trades need to be worked out before the player actually signs the offer sheet. So any deal would have to be done before the 10th. During the 3 day waiting period it's either match or don't match and if the incumbent team matches that player can't be traded to the signing team for a year.

SWEET!!! there is another Phish fan roaming the boards.

We gonna send the contract via horse and buggy, should get there before training camp

[fatlever]

im glad mcroberts got PAID, or else he would look like the biggest idiot going to miami only to end up playing with a bunch of scrubs and an injured wade who is going thru the motions.

napier, wade, granger, mcroberts, haslem = 20 wins.

Yeah, everyone should remember this from the NY Knicks playing a game of hide and seek with Rockets in Vegas a few years ago.

He could have, and should have got that here...

Then we wait, guess I'll have to entertain myself elsewhere for a few days. Hopefully I'll be celebrating the death of the super-friends.

[chabber]

Hopefully that and of course the real summer league starts this weekend.

you are now my new favorite poster.

i am boycotting them this year though (sad face). was die hard fan back in the 90s, from 92 to 99. saw them in charlotte in summer of 99 and it was so bad i didnt see them again live until 2011. i really hated the 99-03 years. thought they really sounded good in 2011 and i jumped back in with both feet and it was just about all i listened to for from 11-to-13. i streamed a lot of the shows last summer and they just sounded really bad, trey mostly. he just cant play like he used to and they were getting really sloppy again. i havent really listened to the new album, but the stuff i heard on halloween didnt impress me. i am holding out seeing them again until trey gets his chops back (which might never happen). at least if trey cant shred like the old days, they could at least head back to the spacy funk days of 97.

if you hear any shows this summer that are really good and tight, let me know and i'll check them out.
#jadedvet

i am tempted to go online and listen to some of the shows from the last week, but i dont want to be disappointed. argh. in the meantime, i'll keep plowing thru all my 90s shows.
