if we make this trade I will call for a picketing event infront of the Amway Center. The Devos' have to go if we take back that trash.

they were only a few games out around the allstar game. Then they went on a huge slide and lost Kyrie. Add the #4 pick and Andrew Bynum and you don't expect them to be in the playoffs in the weak east???


Considering their #4 pick the year before was Tristan Thompson, who knows? I'll admit, I know nothing about Waiters but just because he's a high pick, doesn't mean he makes the Cavs contenders, even with Bynum. And I'm someone who doesn't want Bynum here because I think he can be Grant Hill 2.0. That expectation doesn't change just because he'll be in Ohio.

And you're acting like they lost Irving for a long stretch. The guy was on my fantasy team. He was pretty healthy all year, until they end when they were 17-34 like I said.

YBR says what Rudolph said was "100% false" Not exactly sure what part he's talking about.

Found it... he says this is not true:
Sources: Dwight Howard is ready to join Lakers. If traded to Los Angeles Howard will re-sign long-term with team after 2012-13 season.

I love Rudolph's logic. "Dwight will sign with 2 whole teams out of 30. Therefore it's the Magic's fault if they don't trade Dwight. Clearly the Magic want to bash Dwight's image since they won't trade him to his designated choices."

I'm paraphrasing.

Still doesnt change the fact that the east is weak.

Definite playoff teams:

Miami
Boston
Indiana
BKN
NY
Chi

that's it. It's not far fetched to think that Bynum and Irving could beat out teams that feature Brandon Jennings, or Josh Smith, or Iggy.

Pump the brakes. Andy does not suck. He's just not what we need in a rebuild.

I have to wake up in an hour. You think we'll make it to a 100 by then?

If not, I'll post part 41 right now.

Let me know.

Pretty sure he was talking about Dwight saying he'd sign with the Lakers. He posted this on twitter earlier.

The way he's been talking the last couple of days, I feel confident that if Dwight dropped his shorts and invited Rudolph to go nuts (pun intended) he absolutely would.

Shopping around for the best deal rather than accepting garbage to send Dwight to Brooklyn or LA isn't an attempt to bash his image, it's good business.

When compared to Dwight and bynum, yes he most certainly does!

hell even compared to Brook Lopez he sucks

he might be a decent 3rd tier center, but he still sucks
