Did he trade them Paul George or something? Hibbert's a fine player but lets not go crazy.


The Bird I knew wouldn't trade the Lakers hot spit if they were dying of thirst.

It's always good for people to evolve and not be the same person they were 30 years ago.

My thesis entailed some explanation of how a tensor product is an operation that combines vector spaces into a higher dimensional space, yet I am having difficulty understanding this (seemingly) new "into salary-cap space" term that is flying around the past week.

If Larry signs with another team, are we off the hook on his buyout?

Seriously? Only $4mil/yr for KOQ. That's highway robbery.

Nope. They were paying Gooden's Wizards salary.

Hope he doesn't sign with anyone because that would really go back on his word. I doubt he's ready to return.

I think this is mostly a matter of LA being desperate.

I wouldn't be surprised if Larry returned to the league someday and became the next Birdman. I would be surprised if it wasn't even a full NBA season before he returned. I think this report is swill.

4/16 for KOQ is great value.

Knicks got OQuinn for a swap of second round picks we should've gotten in on that action.

We amnestied Gooden, not quite the same thing here.

Wow were we off on that one. I think most people had him penciled in at 7-10 million.

You guys should make a team with KOQ, Alec Burks, and Jeremy Lamb. They'd probably do OK in the D League.

Especially if LA is giving a future first back... Hibbert literally has negative value to Indy, getting anything more than cap space for him is a gift imo.

Will be interesting to see what Kobe does to Hibbert.

Yeah I was guessing 9m. That contract is such a steal that I feel bad for KOQ.

If he isn't calling him Charmin or Baby's Bottom within days, we'll know that Kobe has given up all hope.

If Cory Joseph returns to the Spurs for a deal like that O'Quinn one they had one of the best offseasons in history.
