I want a raise!

I fixed it, but the length of MTB's name is creating the extra line break. Maybe change "magictownballer" to "MTB" if that extra line break bothers you?

Naw, the line break doesn't bother me

... it's fine that way.

Thanks again man... oh a raise? Uhh yeah sure, let me just go write up an addendum to your contract real quick like good sir ... *leaves room, & runs away with all the cash*

IND associate HC Brian Shaw is set to check into posh Orlando hotel July 8-13 for Pro Summer League. Pacers are 1 of 8 teams in it.

Just so happens that new #Magic GM is staying in that same hotel until he finds a new place.

So now that Wallace is signed up for 4 years 40 mill

If D will resigns and they match Lopez then the Nets have no shot at signin Dwight in 2013 right?

Sure he can probably still put up 17-20ppg and grab rebounds around his normal average for a few more years... but at some point the decline will occur, and that's not worth the headache and frustration... father time is undefeated... And Gasol doesn't look like the type of guy who can keep up the high level of play player like KG, Duncan, Nash, Kobe, Pierce, and other former "all-stars" in their mid 30s have done, because those players stay in great condition/shape for the most part, and they changed their game up.

I can still see Pau avg 14/8 & 16/9 when he's 35-37 years old.

Well Gasol won't be 35 to 37 years old on his current deal. He will be 32 and 33 years old and if he is moved to Houston, will be the 1st option on that team meaning his numbers are going to be inflated a little from his current ones, meaning you are looking at a 20/10/5 player easily. I'd say that is worth 19 million a year, but that is just me.

I'm bored, let's all pretend that Courtney Lee made the layup in 2009 to win game two of the NBA Finals and that we won the series.

Williams is going to start out at around 16 to 17 million and Lopez will get at least 10 million IMO putting the Nets at around 50 million salary so yeah they are done if they do all of that.

just got back from home shopping the last 7 hrs, and ..... wow.

I'd be happy with:

Lowry/Ish
Martin or Redick/Liggins
Iggy (S&T Jameer & Ryan to philly)/Clark
Davis/Nicholson/Harper
Bynum/O'Quinn/Davis

If we get Bynum, Shaw becomes head coach.

And big props to Jameer for wanting to snuff Dwight's punk ass.

Someone ask CLee for his thoughts on the Dwight rumors on Twitter... he always has something to say.

After hearing about Jameer and Dwight getting into a "skirmish", I want Jameer back even more now.
