Marshon Brooks has a basketball iq? Then I guess that means I date Kate Upton.

Rasheed Wallace rumored to be heading to Lakers.... supposedly in good shape. Damn, wish we could have picked him up as our backup Center.

this was posted on another forum.

"The rumor says Lakers receive Beasly, Barrea and Dwight Howard. Orlando would get Andrew Bynum and Derrick Williams. Minnesota would get Gasol."

I can't read spanish and don't know if this is a credible paper. First time I've seen this rumor though, makes some sense since rasheed was just signed.

My fault for not quoting Nyce_1, since that was directed to him.

I just payed attention to his skills (handle, shot, court vision, willingness to make plays for others), demeanor, & IQ and liked what I saw.

Score 52 against Notre Dame, not some scrub team. In fact, he played for the worst team in the Big East. Still can't believe teams liked Jimmer over him :lol:

surely otis notices this and is looking to improve our perimeter. we are old and slow at those positions. an explosive sg that brings a lot of energy would really help our team.

Williams is more of a 3, isn't he?

Or at least, shouldn't he be?

Funny thing is, I was playing around with this idea when Dwight had first asked to be traded, I swear. Never thought they could actually make it happen, though.

It would not shock me, have LA throw in their pick plus Dallas's pick and I'd take that of NJ's offer

You cannot make me believe a team with a starting front court of Williams, Anderson and Bynum does not have a very bright future. I understand the knees are an issue, but he is far better then Lopez. He is the only other legit center in the league, although Cousins will be in the convo in a year or two.
