SO wait...

Rob used the Nets and Lakers against each other while secretly talking to other teams for cap relief and picks. 8-)

Backing off the fire Rob bandwagon.

I think we'd be foolish to think Henny is going to sign Lopez just to sign Lopez. He cut the cord on Ryno and you could easily say he's got more potential than Brook and no injury history. I just don't see Henny making a move for Lopez.

I have heard of Mejia before. I think he used to or does now maybe, be a writer for cbs sports. It does seem like an Orlando source may have fed him that to make it seem that we have other options to LA.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.
Boo.

Too bad Ayon can't play in the summer league, I'd like to see him in action. That's where the Polish Hammer got his start...

Fans of all 3 teams are on an emotional roller coaster ride. I think Lakers fans want it to stop just as bad as you guys. I can't believe this thing has gotten worse than Carmelo and Lebron's situations combined.

Hey Raj, can you message me on XBL when this thread reaches page 95? That's when I'll come on and get the new thread ready. Thanks!

Whether it stops or not for you, you're still an Elite Team.

We can easily be a top 3 worst team with 1 simple trade.

So NoLimit. I'll wait till official numbers come out, but looks like if Ryno gets $9 you lost our bet

Haha nooo! The over/under was 9, which means it's a draw! :)




LOL ya that's right. OK draw it is. And I am totally OK with that, cause I was getting nervous I'd have to do an I love Ryno sig :lol:

Spoke w/ source who tells me Dwight, Hedo, JRICH to Brooklyn Nets for Deron Williams, Marshon Brooks, Brook Lopez. Lopez & Duhon to be flipped to Lakers for Andrew Bynum and Kobe Bryant.


Best trade I've read today...

He can get what he wants. Bottom line is, he's not beating the heat.

I don't know, those poor Lakers fans have been living a waking nightmare for so long. The Basketball Gods gave them all those championships just to tease them. Setting them up just to knock them the f*** back down. It's downright cruel if you ask me.
