All of T-Mac's good work gone to hell just like that. :D

T-Mac didnt invite him, he just showed up! :(

Oh yeah, funny that Marbury was here but didnt show up to welcome his new coach :lol Yeah, this is going to be a fun season.
 
Looks like there's going to be a sign-and-trade for Joe Johnson:

Hawks get:
Joe Johnson

Suns get:
Boris Diaw
Two lottery-protected first round picks (...Phoenix will never see these :P)
$5 mil trade exception

Shitty trade imo. Should've held out for Josh Smith or Marvin Williams.
 
:lol @Kemp

He was such a monster.

I remmeber one of my best friends creaming his pants over Kemp and the Sonics. If you didn't know anything about the NBA, he would've made you believe Kemp was the 2nd coming of Christ. He even mastered that weird lip thing Kemp did. :lol

I will never forget that dunk... from the top of the key... craddled running down the lane like a half back... traveling and all that... but just downright nasty

Hilarious pic. From Stephon's "supermodel" look to T-Mac keeping a close eye on him(or maybe is that lazy eye of his swaying the other way).

What's weird is that in some of the shots he has a shirt on, then later he's in his wifebeater...

What kind of Charity Softball after-party was this?!
 
Details on the new CBA from ESPN.com

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&id=2121672

1. Call this one the Gary Payton Rule: Players who are traded and then waived by their new team cannot sign back with the team that traded them for 30 days (20 days in the offseason). Payton, you'll recall, was dealt from Boston to Atlanta in the Antoine Walker trade-deadline swap in February, only to rejoin the Celtics three days later.

2. A trick that attracted even more attention last season -- after Alonzo Mourning and Jim Jackson refused to report to Toronto and New Orleans to eventually force their way to title contenders -- will be personally addressed by the commissioner from now on. The new rules empower David Stern to fine or suspend such players, and word is he plans to swing the hammer hard in hopes of dissuading future Zos from holding out after trades.

NEW YORK -- For years, Magic Johnson has been looking for an NBA team to buy. The Hall of Famer turned successful business mogul says the right opportunity hasn't presented itself.

But if the league allows a team to relocate to a city known for its magic -- Las Vegas -- Johnson promises he'll be in the game

"If they would ever allow it to happen, of course I would jump on that in two seconds," Johnson told ESPN.com on Monday. "That's definitely the move because there's no question about the fact that that would be a good investment."

Magic always stealing Jordan's ideas :(

Speaking of Kemp.. he's been working out like a madman and getting back into shape.. to try and come back into the league.. SUPPOSEDLY he's down to 280 or so.

Shaq gets 100 million for five years.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2122716
Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat agreed Tuesday on a $100 million, five-year contract, one that presumably will keep the 12-time All-Star center playing past his 38th birthday. O'Neal The deal will be signed later Tuesday, said O'Neal's agent Perry Rogers. "We wanted to make sure that Shaquille was being compensated well into his career," Rogers told The Associated Press. "We also wanted to make sure he was paid his value. And it was important the Heat had flexibility they need in the short-term to win a championship. "It's about winning."

sad because the kid is a better pg than the rockets have?

At least the Rockets have a coach.

I'm sure Bob Weiss and his 86-160 record coaching in the west has Western Conference teams running scared. Watch out Tim, he might keep the games close!

In other news, Stro Show is officially coming to T-Mac...er Houston! *pokes Mig and Matrix*

Daily News - The NBA schedule for the 2005-06 season won't be released for another week, but Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant will meet in a Christmas Day showdown on ABC for the second consecutive year, sources said Monday.

It will be the seventh consecutive season that the Lakers have played on Dec. 25 for a network telecast, but this year's game will take place in Miami rather than Staples Center. The cast of characters also has grown to include Phil Jackson, welcomed back as Lakers coach this summer.

Poor Laker fans, gotta see your team lose on Christmas again.

Poor...poor...wait which 7 teams do you like again DM?

So by dodging my statement, you agree the Lakers lose? Just remember, Phil didnt want Kwame until Jordan talked to him. I'm just saying...

We'll see who has the last laugh when you're forced to root for the Las Vegas T-Cells.

excellent. the bandwagon meme has gained traction. no escaping the facts now, dm.

Yeah, the facts...what are they again? Seriously, when are you going to tell me the teams I jumped on a bandwagon for? I remember you tried to say the Bucs, but I was already a fan of the Bucs before joining GAF.

I've never gone away from saying I was a Mariners, T-Mac, Bulls (post-Krause retirement) and Bucs fan. If I have, I would like some examples please.

Edit: I do remember you thinking I jumped onto the Panthers bandwagon after I lost a bet and was forced to use a Panthers avatar.

Matrix said:
How rude.

Hey, you went to a Knicks home game last season. Im just stating the facts! You cant escape it!
 
You do realize Kwame pissed Jordan off? Get ready for an HIV outbreak at the Staples Center! Why else would he give Phil the ok to trade for him? This whole thing was a setup and you never saw it coming!

RealGM - The Miami Heat , Memphis Grizzlies and Boston Celtics have reached a tentative agreement on a three-team trade according to an NBA source close to the negotiations who spoke with DraftExpress.com’s Jonathan Givony.

The Miami Heat will receive Antoine Walker via a sign-and-trade from Boston, as well as Jason Williams and James Posey from the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies will receive Eddie Jones from Miami and Marcus Banks from Boston.

The Celtics will receive Earl Watson via a sign-and-trade from Memphis, as well as Dorrell Wright or Miami’s trade exception.

Watson’s inclusion in the trade is a new twist to the deal, satisfying their need for a starting point guard. He will reportedly receive the mid level exception.
 
:lol @ Antione Walker and White Chocolate on the same team. Posey is a stud though. Not a star, but a very good role player who can D-up. Eddie is definately expendible now. Fuckin Celts getting Watson though. They arlready have Tony Allen, Marcus Banks and Delonte West. WTF do they want another PG for? Give him to us!
 
Are the Celtics really that stupid? wait thats a realgm article :lol
