No, hey, those 10 points Oden spots the other team in free throws in the first half of every game are clutch.

Better than the 25PPG Andrea gives up because he's too busy reminding himself to breathe.

I believe Trax has already dealt with your antiquated notions. Bargnani proved last season - for SEVERAL games mind you - that he is a roundball deity.

Isn't satan technically considered a deity?

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Hey guys it looks like there's going to be a Yahoo based fantasy league, and I'd rather play in that one than the ESPN one, and I don't want to take up a spot in both leagues so I'll let someone have my slot in the ESPN league if anyone wants it.

Wait till he makes it first...

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

That's a solid point.

 

[reilo]

Don't fret guys. He's just too busy writing his next epic high fantasy novel responding to me making fun of Bargnani. He'll get around to it eventually.

Look, not everybody has it easy like Oden, with his fancy-dancy mechanical respirator and oxygen mask.

Yeah, but he plays shooting guard for the Lakers.

It's a pretty rad respirator, you gotta admit.

Plus, Pau isn't regarding as one of the toughest players out there by any stretch of the imagination. But you gotta give credit where credit is due. /cue Stealth Fox

:lol I only criticize the Lakers because some members of Lakers-Age piss me off, so I have to piss them off.

I really have no problem with the Lakers as the team, it's when a certain e-fanbase annoys me so much with their comments that I have to go off on a tangent....

P.S. Yao Ming will always be 10x the player Pau will be

Spoiler

but he will also be 10x as hurt :-(

It's like when Orlando fans become unbearable, I'll start ripping on their team to no end.

 

[aznpxdd]

Don't worry, Rockets will never get good enough that their fans get annoying.

Trax hasn't created the fantasy league yet, hence, it cannot be full if it does not exist.

No, no, I meant wait until Konex has created his fantasy league, not Trax.

Summary: Konex made a thread saying he wanted to make a NBA Fantasy league, we told him that there was one made by Trax already, LvC said he wanted to leave Trax's and join Konex's (because Konex's would be on Yahoo!), and I said wait until Konex made his league before leaving Trax's.

Well that's confusing after Konex came in here and asked whether the original league is full.

Yes, yes it is confusing, especially if you didn't see the other thread. I feel ya.

So, quick question: how do you predict the clusterfuck that is DEN, POR, DAL is going to pan out? I'd say POR>DEN>DAL atm, but I am not too sure where DAL will place at all next year, or how POR improves. DAL could be worse than UT or NOH when it is all said and done and POR could either improve a lot or just marginally.

but the Wolves will have to fight to match last year's 24 wins.

Competent point guard play (perhaps good, even), a decent coaching staff, and getting rid of inefficient players like Foye and Bassy will make this year's team better than last year.

I think the loss of Kleiza is going to hurt Denver more than anything. I don't understand why that's being dismissed so easily. A good bench is so crucial.

With Jones gone, does this mean Smith moves to the starting 2G? Wow. Who the hell is coming off the bench for them then?

Hehe, I get it now. Regardless of what format we use I was hoping for a pay league like the NFL one we have. Just so no one bails mid-season.

With the NFL one, only 2 people missed the draft :lol

I would like to say Portland will end up better, but really depends on if Mac-10 gets a good rotation going with his talent imo..

Mac-10's mentor had Den balling last year, for some reason I can see them being better this year after coming into form late because of getting a new PG and injuries...

Unless Matrix goes back to being a baller, I don't see Dallas doing too much. I can see them being a playoff team but if they didn't make the playoffs I wouldn't be shocked also

EDIT: Reilo, yeah Den bench is pretty weak. I guess Karl or someone feels that one of the young guys might be something.. Lawson should also see some PT (but maybe not, it is Karl we are talking about... but doesn't seem to have much choice...) they would look much much better if they signed a vet at SG.. someone like Stack could help a lot.

 

[DY_nasty]

The ghost of Stackhouse is dead.

 

[obijkenobi]

I agree. Stack looked pretty done last year, even with limited minutes. I'm not sure who Dallas can get to make them a legit threat. They'd probably would have to improve via blockbuster trade to get much better than they are now.

 

[DY_nasty]

Felton took the 1 year QO of 5.5 mil. Says he just wants to get through camp with no distractions to the team and all that jazz.

I don't like it, it means that he could possibly walk away without us getting anything back but capspace - but if DJ steps it up this season, that won't be a bad thing. Ray's pretty consistent about wanting to stay in Charlotte too so the FO is in a pretty good spot either way.

Doesn't have to be Stack.. but a vet SG someone who can give you decent mins..

Also isn't Dallas still linked to Greg Ostertag rumors?

Yeah things aren't looking great

Might be the best situation for both parties at the moment. Felton will be overshadowed in the FA market next year, so you might be able to offer him slightly more than any other team out there, but still at a price a lot cheaper than he is asking for now.

 

[DY_nasty]

Yep. Felton needs a better agent. He should've flown up to NY, LB would've flipped out and gave him 10 mil per.

Flip Murray is the talk of the town these days. Dallas probably can't sign him directly but a lot of other teams (Bobcats included) are really high on him along with McCants (lol).

 

[Rodeo Clown]

McCants is a bum and won't even get a training camp invite from anyone.

McCants would fit in perfectly in Den... But I bet McCants thinks he is a big min starter still..

 

[DY_nasty]

McCants is a bum and won't even get a training camp invite from anyone.

He's working out with us right now in Charlotte. Word is he can play - but he's crazy. Higgins and Jordan like him, LB is probably trying to decide whether or not his heart can take another headcase.

But he can't play. His defense is non-existent and he never passes the ball.

Mistakes were made.

Kahn would not have passed up on Danny Granger for McCants. Nope.

So he is Ray Felton?

I guarantee he's better than Morrison.

Still, seeing a Duke guy and a UNC guy competing for Raja's soon to be vacant spot would be pretty cool.

We've already established that Felton is Sebastian Telfair.

But was Felton ever in a documentary? Didn't think so. Bassy is the clear winner. Cheaper, too.

They got Affalo in Denver now who is younger, a better shooter and better defender. Kleiza wasn't all that good last season.
