It's on ESPN, so probably ESPN3. But does that work internationally? I don't know.

It does with some trickery. Couldn't really be bothered doing it to see the bad news live.

[giga]

[Blackace]

both teams get worse!

[Canuck76]

I'm not ready for this

With a guaranteed top 4 you don't have to worry brah.

Not even Jordan could select Barnes just because of the UNC connection right?

Right?

Looking forward to rooting for the neohawks next season...

Not sure what to think. I mean, it's not like I'd mind him taking minutes away from Jeffries.

Hahaha, sorry. Wrong thread.

Thanks, Giga. :-p

5pur5s fans already posting in the offseason. Shows how confident they are about beating okc.

The interesting part, according to Lakers’ insiders, is Gasol would like to play for the Bulls. And what you hardly need any sources for is to see how he and Bryant basically can’t stand one another. It was no secret around L.A. what all those post series comments were about. "We got to be committed to each other," said Ron Artest. "This year we wasn't as committed collectively, and that hurt us a lot." Said Bynum: "We just weren't doing it together.” That was because Bryant and Gasol were constantly at odds. And that came out several times in the playoffs with the two frequently arguing on the court and Bryant again questioning Gasol’s heart. Yes, Gasol will be 32 in July, though given his position and the way he plays he can go a good four or five years. And that’s why him going where he wants to go would be vital. He has two years left on his contract and has talked about returning to play in Europe afterwards. Unless he really liked where he was, you assume. Also, his exorbitant $19 million salary the next two seasons makes him less desirable. And it’s no secret the Lakers want to move him.

better not fucking trade him for Boozer

[pilonv1]

Boozer in LA would be awesome. DO IT MITCH

[Knux-Future]

Apparently Pau for Iggy is the deal that has some legs....

take that as you will because I don't know how to feel about it...

[MorisUkunRasik]

Tell your gm to get off the phone with Mitch. He'll end up the beneficiary to your owner's life insurance policy. He's gonna get the deed to Doug Collins' house. Tell your gm to hang up the phone.

Who plays the 4 for the Lakers? Does not sound likely.

[MorisUkunRasik]

Who plays the 4 for the Lakers? Does not sound likely.

Jordan Hill could easily play the 4 opposite Bynum. Mitch would have to talk them into giving up another piece, a pg most likely.

The deal would end up being Pau/young player plus picks for Iggy/PG, Maybe Lou Williams since Jrue is still on a really good deal, it'd be dumb to ship him out.

Pau/GODlock or Ebanks and a first for Iggy/Lou


Lou Williams
Kobe
Iggy
Hill
Bynum

Blake
Barnes
Metta
------
------


The team would at least be fun to watch. Plus his deal expires the same year as Kobe's, Blake's and Metta's.

If ever you get unibrow, will we be hearing playoffs talk from you next season?

I feel like you should still get some pleasure from daydreaming these last couple days

I don't even want that twiggy, gassed up Brandan Wright.

I just don't want the fourth pick again

[Mothman91]

I can't wait for the meltdowns tomorrow.

Even mine.

Muahahhaha

[CrazyDogg77]

Man even though I don't like the Bobcats I hope they don't end up with the 4 pick.

[Derrick01]

http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/smith_120528.html better not fucking trade him for Boozer

Nonono please Bulls don't do this, unless it's Boozer for Pau straight up which isn't happening.

I see no benefit from this really. We already have a soft PF who soaks up money and disappears in the playoffs. What do we get out of this, especially since we'd likely have to give up more than Boozer?

He's even older than Boozer and I think even makes more money. Trading Deng with Boozer for Pau would be exactly the kind of idiotic deal the Bulls front office would do.

[Red Blaster]

Von WafDaGod got waived

Fuck that, do you see dys reactions now?

It'll be 389249292 times more amazon when David stern tells us the 4th pick belongs to Charlotte

Deng Brewer Watson for Pau
Then you'd have to find an idiot to take on Booz.

John Salmons for Booz? You guys like Salmons right?

Lakers would be a second round exit team again =/

[DY_nasty]

Who would be your ideal pick for Charlotte?

The best case scenario is that we get the #2 pick, Drummond tears up workouts and we trade down for two lotto picks.

But that won't happen.

So I guess I'll just be happy with MKG or Robinson. :|

The Bulls should be trying to wait out Deng and Boozer's contracts, especially since Rose may miss all of next season.

[Prototype-03]

Lakers need to be in rebuild mode but it won't happen because of Kobe.

You'd honestly be thrilled with Drummond over MKG or Robinson? :O

[DY_nasty]

You'd honestly be thrilled with Drummond over MKG or Robinson? :O

Not what I'm saying at all. I hope we land the #w2 - so that when Drummond tears up workouts and his hype levels block out the sun we can trade the pick to Portland or something for multiple picks. We need help across the board.

[Derrick01]

The Bulls should be trying to wait out Deng and Boozer's contracts, especially since Rose may miss all of next season.

But then we lose Taj and who knows who else while waiting for the next 3 years of Boozer's contract and have to rebuild. Also god help us if Rose turns out never being the same again. He's virtually useless if he can't be his old explosive self, he still can't shoot or defend all that well.

Ah, I see. Has a scenario like that ever happened before though?

[DY_nasty]

All the time.

[Talon]

Pau's contract is shorter than Boozer's albatross, for one.

[CrazyDogg77]

Fuck that, do you see dys reactions now? It'll be 389249292 times more amazon when David stern tells us the 4th pick belongs to Charlotte

Ha ha I live like an hour away from Charlotte. I wouldn't be able to take the meltdowns.

Fine. You're going to lose Taj, either way. Some team is going to pay huge for them (or can they only offer him the MLE?). You can't just trade Boozer for nothing, and amnestying him would still keep the Bulls above the cap or right near it.

Odom as long as he is motivated would be very good for the Knicks.

[MorisUkunRasik]

Since Ray and Hill don't like Kobe, I doubt it could be The Lakers, but the old free agents should get together somewhere.

The best choice from what I can see would be Phoenix, since two have history there and Ray seems upset with Boston's FO. Nash, Hill, Ray and KG sign for a few years, the medical staff work their magic, amnesty Childress and try to get another piece or two like Gordon and Dragic.

Nash Dragic
Gordon Ray
Hill Dudley
KG Morris
Gortat Frye

Ray and KG finally get to play with an elite PG.

[StickSoldier]

I believe the order will turn out like this

1. Hornets
2. Bobcats
3. Nets

[CrazyDogg77]

If Charlotte could get Kidd-Gilchrist that would be really good.

[Rodeo Clown]

The Hornets are winning with the Wolves pick. I'm convinced.

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The Hornets are winning with the Wolves pick. I'm convinced.

Do it, Stern!

[MorisUkunRasik]

Who says no?

ORL - Bynum MWP GODlock Eyenga and a 1st
Nets - Boozer, Korver and Watson
Bulls - Pau, Blake
LAL - Dwight, Hedo, Deron

[ratcliffja]

Aww... Deron's so happy.

This looks like a mega win for Lakers. Orlando would pretty much get what they could. Bulls would be a sideway trade. Nets would be the clear losers.
