This website needs to have guidelines for their mods. Every mod has their own way of doing things and the band of brothers will never hold one of their own accountable so they all get away with whatever they want. Most mods are great, but there are a handful that brings it down for everyone. My biggest issue is no accountability though.


I remember this one extreme Left Wing poster on the Current Affairs Board who evidently hated a few posters whose opinions differed from his and when they named him Mod, he banned us all within the first 2 months. Howard Mass defended him. Go figure. Now, that board is the Current Left Wing Affairs board. If anyone posts anything Right Wing leaning, you get bombarded by a bunch of Left Wingers calling you every name in the book and even if you try to defend your point, you are suspended as a troll.

Discussing Mods and their "abilities" probably not a good idea boys.

Our guys are **** saints and should be treated as such

Not to bring us back to topic, but I think its funny that we managed to accidentally put Spencer Dinwiddie into a worse situation then he had it here. Hes now behind (when everything becomes official); Rajon Rondo, Jose Calderon, and Jerian Grant. And honestly Denzel can probably do spot minutes there.

Its now more likely that Cameron will make the Pistons, then Spencer making the Bulls.

David West to GSW for the minimum. He'll be 36 and the decline is real, but that's a smart, high character player they're getting.

Also, looks like Wade canceled his meeting with the Bucks, which would have been his homecoming (he played at Marquette)...rejected 40/2 offer with PO from Heat...looks like he's heading to Cleveland.
Hoo boy.

Looks like David West is going to the Warriors for the minimum. Look for this to be the first of several.

Lets make it official, I really like the look of the Utah Jazz. That's a very nice core.

Why wouldnt we trade someone for Diaw?

He was traded for a 2015 pick that is playing overseas

Diaw was on his way out of the league until Parker had the spurs grab him. I have a feeling he's going to decline sharply this year.

Wade might find his way to the Cavs apparently? I hope it happens, that's one less team to worry about making the playoffs. They've lost Deng & Joe Johnson already, losing Wade as well would kill their playoff chances. Dragic sucked last year, and Bosh's health is up in the air. Spolestra's nothing special as a coach.

Diaw is very similar to TImmy in that his game is more skill than athlete. I think he can still be a productive player in the right system. HIs minutes need to be monitor'd though to that point.

Looks like Westbrook will very likely be following Durant out the door next year if they don't move him. The hits keep on coming for the Thunder.

I think the one thing that i will find curious is how Splestra looks with out perenial allstars. Its a huge debate amongst Heat fans

Westbrook will be traded for sure. OKC has to trade him. Unfortunately for them everybody else knows it too and with him being a FA next season the return on him is not going to be particularly good. My money is on Boston.

Everybody knew Ibaka was outta there after this season and they managed to get a solid haul for him.

Man, Westbrook going to Boston would STING. Really like that player.

Weird question, but has a player ever been traded mid-season and gone on to win the MVP? Cuz Westbrook is about to pull some Oscar level **** and probably for 2 different teams.

Or it could work out great...

yeah, unlikely :-?

He's not coming, but the pick n roll between Westbrook and Dre could be unstoppable in every way.

If Wade goes to Denver, they might be open to trading someone in their backcourt. It would be pretty crowded in that scenario with Mudiay, Wade, Harris, Murray, Beasley, Nelson, and maybe Barton (although he plays some three as well). And no I wouldn't want the Pistons to make a move for Jameer. :wink:

Harris would be my target. Even though I don't think backup shooting guard is much of a need he has versatile skills that would be great off the bench. All depends on price though.
