This guy is a f*cking retard on the gb

link us dude

judging by the fact you only bolded the RE, is it that mod re-risen?

[Stebo_SSK]

I really wouldnt want to give up MWP b/c of defensive situations but the brief stint with Nash in 2010 he had a pretty good shooting percentage all around and shot 42% from 3. We may need more of his shooting as opposed to Metta's D. LA still has not landing a spot up shooter so he may be worth it in the short term.

I'll just save you some time from having to read pages of text and tell you in one post. And nah I just did that so the actual word would show instead of the board censoring the word. Because that's legitimately what this guy is.

So it all started by this Orlando poster going onto the GB and dismissing the LAL/CLE talks as nothing but posturing. Then I ask him how is it posturing when according to you guys and other Orlando media that Houston has the best deal on the table, there's no need to posture. Then he says their GM is holding out for the best possible, and I say well ok that's great and all but according to reports Houston doesn't plan on upping their offer that much so I really don't see the need for the wait. Then he goes on about how Orlando is just using CLE talks as posturing to make Houston up their offer, which is completely ignoring what I just said. So then I basically repeat what I had said before but with different words, and he tries to say that I'm putting up a straw man by putting words in his mouth by saying that he said the deals would get better when I did nothing of the sort. Then I basically say that by continuously saying that Orlando is waiting for quite possibly the deals to get better that you're insinuating that if Orlando keeps waiting that the deals will get better, despite all reports that say Houston's deal isn't going to get better. And then he decides to put the cherry on top by responding with "I said I believe that is what Rob is doing, I never said it would work. How is that implying anything?", to which I just walked away. Couldn't deal with it anymore.

We already know. It's up on the wiretap for everyone to read, as well as been posted hours earlier.

Why is Varejao going to Orlando? If they're going into tank mode have someone take on your bad contracts along with Varejao. There you go, a clean cap, and what four first rounders and Thompson?

[Jetset]

As far as Varejao, word is Hennigan likes Varejao and even brought his name up a few years back while he was with OKC and when the Thunder were looking for a center. It just so happens that Perkins instead of Varejao ended up there.

[ShowTimeERA]

Andy would be flipped to OKC, as a favor from Orlando GM...While Andy serves no purpose to a rebuilding team, he does have a reasonable contract and produces on the court...

Apparently the Magic GM is very high on Varejo. He also wouldn't be a huge difference maker in the Magic's overall record if they do plan on tanking.

Here are two reasons why Orlando would take on Varajao... one, he would provide the Magic with a young center who averages around 10 rebounds a game and makes about $8.3M a year... two, he could easily be traded for a 1st Round Pick and a trade exception.

[hazy_01]

They should flip Sideshow Bob for Perry Jones+Cole Aldrich after.

[Jajwanda]

That's not the point of my question. If the Magic want to get rid of bad contracts, send him elsewhere along with Turkoglu.

[The Skyhook]

They should flip Sideshow Bob for Perry Jones+Cole Aldrich after.

The last thing the Thunder want to do is take on additional salary. They still have to worry about resigning Ibaka and Harden.

Get this done already!

and if Orlando is facilitating Cleveland pair Irving and Bynum for the next 10 years in the the same conference. These idiots are truly clueless.

[myersia]

Not sure if anyone has seen this:

Jason Lloyd ‏@JasonLloydABJ
Going up on http://Ohio.com , Cavs trade talks involving Bynum lack substance Link: http://bit.ly/P17nPm

If its true. I wonder if we should just walk away if we can't get a trade done in the next couple of days. Maybe we should give Orlando a deadline of Friday. If a deal isn't done on Friday we should threaten to walk away from Orlando for the rest of the upcoming season. I wonder if Dwight's camp would soften their stance because he does not want to go to HOU. If we can get Dwight to demand a trade to us that would be amazing! Only competition we got, like many other posters have mentioned, is Atlanta in FA.

[inkyonroad]

I really don't think it will happen until the asik thing is resolved.

[Michael Lucky]

Asik will be going to Houston, so not much to resolve it's just the inevitable.

[The Skyhook]

I read that article twice already and it still doesn't tell me anything. That same guy is tweeting about the Lakers and Cavs remaining in trade talks. Both teams seem to be on the same page and want to get this deal done. Now they just have to figure out what to do with these bad contracts.

[Jajwanda]

The idiots are out on the general board. Miami would beat the Lakers in five? Are you **** kidding me?
