We're going to see some Nash names here soon.

But yeah, RamonsLakers and Ramonsessions7 are screwed. Where's that guy that wanted to change his name to Ramon's Edge, you dodged a bullet kid.

Hold it kido, it's called Razor's Edge, don't disrespect the bad guy.

Mike's head has to be close to exploding with all this talent and not in a good way.

with all of Sessions deficiencies this ^^^ is the least of my concerns. it was the guys first playoffs, not to mention that it was on a huge stage the kind he has never played for before. also Brown's system literally took him out of his game.

I think that with a full pre-season, 82 game season, Nash mentoring him, running the second unit, and a playoff appearance under his belt would really make a difference on his overall confidence and game improvement. Rather have him than Blake or the picks it took to get him.

Just change your sig and location to something more prominent so we know who you are. No offense but all the Kobe/Ramon usernames are hard to differentiate.

you don't need to get yourself banned. just change your name again.

Damn that hurts, Jet left for the Celtics a few days ago too plus Barea's been gone. That squad is headed for a massive fall if Beaubois is expected to take over. Either that or Cuban may overpay for Lin.

Damn. I can't say none of this feels good, because it certainly does, but at the same time, you have to really relate to Dirk and Cuban here. Dirk because... well come on, he's a future HoFer who was basically denied his only chance to defend his title, and now he's been deserted. What more needs explaining there?

Cuban is a bit more difficult to empathize with, but I've often likened him to a younger, cockier Jerry Buss. Willing to spend, defer to the experts, and take big risks. He mortgaged the future on the chance he could pair D-Will (and/or Dwight) with Dirk, and now that team has literally gone from champions to fringe playoff team in the space of 8 months.

Makes me appreciate how lucky this organization has been the past 30+ years.

Mavs should sign Chris Humphries...

Jetset · Post #636 » by **Jetset** » Thu Jul 5, 2012 9:39 pm

That would definitely cockblock Brooklyn, I like it.

Summer of 2012. Summer of cockblocks.

I would absolutely love someone to come out of nowhere with a full max qualifying offer for Lopez...

You have to think some team in the East has thought about that just so they don't have to play Dwight.

Jetset · Post #640 » by **Jetset** » Thu Jul 5, 2012 10:14 pm

I'm actually expecting it. Or close to max.

And I think Orlando would much rather pay Bynum the max than Lopez.
