Who makes up the nicknames here?
You guys have come up with the Hulk for Graham. Honetly that was brilliant. You came up for UPS for Derrick Brown. What does that mean? I have a feeling it makes sense.

I like Frankencenter (a name I coined) for the thing that is Mohammed/Diop/Chandler. Now we can add Raitliff to it.

Just a guess, but the slogan for UPS is "What can Brown do for you?", hence the nickname. But I could be wrong. I like Hulk but not feeling UPS for Derrick Brown.

Re: Who makes up the nicknames here?
we all contribute to the nicknames, which are usually born in the gamethreads. we cant take credit for all of them, but certainly we have coined many.

Fats is trying to steal my thunder, but I am the poster responsible for coming up with all of the nicknames.

I can confirm this.
As a part of Walt being a poster here he receives a cash bonus each quarter on top of his regular pay from RealGM for every nickname that he comes up with that sticks.

Re: Who makes up the nicknames here?
So it's a group effort.
You should go to bobcats.com and tell them about the nickname and maybe somehow it will get to dell curry and they can make it an official nickname.
Frankencenter im not to big on. The C spot depress me to much.
Theo is actually good though and when healthy so is Chandler and imo if Diop got pt he would be fine to.
I hope they get rid of Tyson to the Kings for a 2nd rounder and maybe Nazr in a Ford package.

I think UPS was Derrick's nickname in college and we just liked it too.

Who plays center????? Why in the hell would the Kings trade a second rounder for TC???? And we're not trading Nazr unless we get a quality center back or we already have one through a different trade. Ratliff will soon turn 37 and Diop is not very good.
