How hard is it to wear a condom?!

When you're a 6'11 black dude it's probably hard to find any that fit. Even magnums are the same size as regular condoms at the base.

Also when you're an NBA player there's some girls out there who will go to lengths to get around it.

There had already been preliminary talks between Dwight Howard and Time Warner on a show if he returned to the Lakers.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We've been watching the Dwight Howard show for the past couple of years, so this is no surprise. The guy is all ego.

Maybe it will be a late night show. Heck, he can bring in his sidekick, SVG to play off like Ed McMahon. Riveting interviews will include luminaries such as Otis Smith, Hero Turkoglu, and Bob Vanderweide, with musical guest Shaquille O'Neal! What could possibly go wrong?

Rumor: Iman Shumpert and Tyson Chandler for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan.

The Los Angeles Lakers expressed their interest to multiple free agents when free agency began at midnight, and the latest name to add to the list is big man Byron Mullens, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Mullens had a career-high in points per game, but shot just 38 percent from the field.

makes sense for the clips. they go all in with this move. chris paul is used to playing with Tyson so they already have good chemistry and Tyson instantly makes them legit defensively. and shumpert gives them the 2 guard they need. if they pull this move off it puts them on par with sa and okc imo.

I don't know about that rumor for NY. They are pretty high on Shumpert i thought. Getting DeAndre doesn't seem to help them and it's even more money. I like it for LA though.

@mcten
According to @jadande, Dwight Howard has already spoken on the phone with Jack Nicholson about remaining with the Lakers

Denver could become a real threat for Tony Allen should Memphis fail to hold onto him, league sources tell Y!

Dwight ain't no Shaq. Shaq had that charisma that Dwight will never have. His show would fail badly.

How does this make sense for NY? Clips driving up Bledsoes value again.

Had this idea with us and NY but getting Was involved

Ny out - iman chandler
Ny in - Davis afflalo

Was out - okafor
Was in - chandler

Orl out - Davis afflalo
Orl in - iman okafor 15 first from was and 14 2nd from Ny coming from Okc

Reasons NY is freaking out with the Brooklyn trade and with a lineup of Felton/afflalo/melo/Davis/barn that can pretty much contend and you get AA back with CA
Was there close to a playoff push getting chandler who can run the court is what they need with their young guys in wall/beal/porter/nene/chandler not to bad
As for Orl I don't think this Bledsoe deal is gonna happen so we gamble in iman and okafor could be a good backup to nik we lose salary as well and okafor comes of the books next season still allowing us to shop in free agency and we can now start are future lineup of Nelson/Vic/hark/Harris/nik plus getting some draft pics

@ESPNSteinLine
One of the teams that troubles Minnesota in Wolves' bid to retain Andrei Kirilenko: San Antonio. I'm told Spurs have AK-47 in their sights

AK strikes me as a guy who would fit in with the Spurs & Pop

Hopefully. Maybe NY doesn't believe in Felton. Still, it seems like they'd get--at best--a little better at point while dropping off a lot at center. Jordan just hasn't taken the next step in the last few years. I'm sure CP3 would love to have Chandler back, but why would the Knicks want to trade him?

you guys see the wiretap thing about the warriors? if they can pair Dwight with curry I think they come out the west. that's exactly the kind of player you need to put around Dwight. they got a superstar in curry and more shooters around Dwight.

Their window would be small with all those young guys on rookie contracts. Warriors would go over the cap resigning everyone.

I could understand Allen, but Afflalo is more valuable than Mayo. He had his best year on a bad team. Might even taken Afflalo over Allen. AA would be a great complement to CP in the backcourt.
