NBA 2011-2012 SEASON DISCUSSIONS

If there's any deal that should be vetoed, this is it. Bynum and a lousy 1st rounder for Dwight smh

It turns out Afflalo, Harrington, Vučević, Harkless and 3 protected 1st rounders (not lottery) are better than Lopez, Humphries, Brooks, 4 unprotected 1st rounders or Martin, 2 rookies, 4 1st rounders (guaranteed lottery) from Houston.


Awful trade for Magic. No flexibility and mediocre talent going forward. #basketballreasonsplease

thank you for the memories

The trade was fair until I read this:

In addition to Howard, the Lakers will also receive Earl Clark and Chris Duhon from the Magic.

Veto please.

Nuggs got themselves another great player, great deal for them
Orlando is just lost atm
Sixers still look mediocre
LALA wins

I'll miss iggy, excited for the new season, so many changes brah

I agree with Luka...
AI went to Denver, the real AI, and AI 2.0 went to Denver too, lol karma...

So now the Heat have the Lakers and the Celtics already better than them IMO...

Except the Lakers have no bench still...Well I think Ebanks and Blake could be a little productive lol...And Jordan Hill...

So far these are the best three teams, the Celtics are the deepest, the Heat have a lot of shooters, but the Lakers are the biggest, IMO one of these 3 will win it all except if there's some major injuries...Health issues will be key...Although I wouldn't still count the Thunder and the Spurs out...

I think you're forgetting our newest spark off the bench..



I doubt the Lakers are done making moves.. I'm sure Mitch will improve our bench a little better

Oh shit, well in reality he won't be much, in 2K he'll be inflated, you'll contribute with him etc...

The only thing that will stop the Lakers from winning the West is injuries. You don't need a deep bench when your starting 5 is that stacked. You do have to be concerned when Nash is extremely old and Kobe is old, plus coming off a summer when he did the Olympics. Howard with his back issue but I think the back issue was more of an excuse to cut ties with Orlando and get out of town to lay low for awhile IMO. Gasol and Artest are durable. You got Jamison, Duhon, Earl Clark, Blake, etc off the bench. I know they were talking about getting Barbosa with their mini exception. That'd be nice.

With all due respect to OKC and San Antonio but they can't handle this fantasy team the Lakers have put together. It could very well be a 1 and done roster but it's going to be one hell of a year.

Luka is right. The Nets offer (offers) were so much better. Not even close. The Rockets offers would have been a million times better too. I mean shit, Houston was willing to give up damn near all their young prospects.

Denver came out of this deal better than Orlando ffs. Possibly Philly too. I'll be curious where they play Thad Young. Starting SF? Starting PF? 6th man? etc

I heard Barbosa. I kinda hope TMac goes to LA so he can finally get out of the 1st round.

Yea I hear about Barbosa too.. Hopefully we get him too

Been a TMac fan since his raptors days but he is not on Mitch's radar. It'd be nice.. But I don't think he'll be a Laker.

Jodie Meeks for 2 Years.

Meeks kinda sucks but it's a good fit. He's pretty much a three point shooting douche. Looks like it didn't cost much. Must mean Barbosa is off the table, which isn't the end of the world.

Carlos Delfino is handsome imo. He may inspire me to grow a light beard like him.

CP3 & Melo put on a show in the 2nd half...Spain is doomed, this team is the 2nd best team in bball ever...

Now that the deal is done, I can look forward to playing with Royce White in 2K13.

I look forward to playing against Royce White in 2k13

I'll be interested to see how they rate him. I'd just start him regardless if I were you. Throw caution to the wind, etc.

Spain can beat USA imo
