Paxson you son of a *****.

You figure something like that, if anything. Paxson has been pretty quiet lately with all the other buzz going on.

Garnett/Gasol/Randolph sweepstakes?

Maybe Paxson picked Noah To get Yi. Since Yi made is clear he doesn't want to play with the Buckies.

Although it would be funny to read 40 years from now that WW3 was started over a basketball player.t:

Noah just seems like an energy guy that's not going to give much on the offensive end. I'm not entirely sold on him, but why wouldn't Chicago go after Hawes?

Because Paxson is starting to seem a little defense happy. I mean you have to have some offense for god sake! The Bulls are like the complete opposite of the Suns. Little offense. A lot of defense.

Remember that part in Natl' Lampoon's Vacation where Clark falls asleep driving the car. Thats Paxson.

Randolph: He gone.

****in' Paxson.

*Hands Patent a paper bag* Just breath man. Maybe all this is for a reason. Just breath.

Yeah.... This off-season has been extremely disappointing for us fans.

Word.

 

[Mister J]

Milwaukee picked Yi after all.

There's going to be an international incident.

The Bucks are starting, literally, an international incident by suggesting that they'll take Yi Jianlian even though he doesn't want to play in a city that has only six Chinese people.

Milwaukee GM Larry Harris has even suggested that their owner, a U.S. Senator [Herb Kohl], would deliver Yi diplomatically if he refuses to come. Are we sure we want to go that far? So now we're bringing governments into this?

Do we really want to piss off China over Yi Jianlian? Really?

Supposedly Yi refuses to come to Milwaukee for a press confrence. ****.

 

[Ben Urich]

Free Rashard.

 

[Fran]

Any noteworthy picks? Trades?

 

[Ben Urich]

Jason Richardson to the Bobcats for Brandan Wright?!

 

[Fran]

What?!

 

[bananafish]

I'm not watching (watching Arrested Development Season 1 t: ), is this a done deal? I don't even know what to think of the deal. I don't like Brandan Wright that much as a prospect. He's 6-10 and weighs anywhere from 200-210. But if he's a good athlete and if he's a good fit for any team, the Warriors are one of them. And they're clearing some of the logjam at SG.

Hoping for Herb Hill or another decent big for the Wizards in the second.

I doubt it, but hopefully. The interview he did after he selected Noah had nothing in it about possibly trading him or in part of a deal. He talked about his high energy and athleticism and defense. Too bad thats all the Bulls already have and don't need any more of.

 

[Fran]

Noah is a Bull?

I know. I am just holding out hope.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Noah is a Bull?

Unfortunatly, Yes.

 

[Fran]

I figured KG would stay put, but I'm stunned Allen left Seattle.

 

[DBella]

I would just like to ask...

Why the **** did the Sonics trade Ray Allen?!! This is making me, and a lot of Sonics fans, depressed and upset. Are those 3 guys they traded him for really worth it? I don't follow College Basketball much so can someone, anyone, please enlighten me. Thank you.

We've got Durant and Green.... big YAY, but losing Allen... I still can't believe it. In fact, there were quite a few sad and angry tears among the fans today. Heck, my heart aches. Literally.

Maybe I can feel better once I know why Allen was traded and the reason better be good.

As of today, I am jumping on Celtic's bandwagon.

 

[DBella]

You're not the only one. The whole of Seattle is stunned... among basketball fans at least. Heck, he was the man that got me interested in basketball again. Bye, Ray.

 

[Fran]

Joe, PLEASE trade Sheed for KG

smart move.. they should be decent in the East next year

 

[DBella]

I'm with Ray all the way. Wherever he goes, I go. ****in' Sonics!!

 

[Ben Urich]

Jermareo Davidson and Jason Richardson to Charlotte for Brandan Wright.

What the **** is Nellie smoking?

 

[Fran]

Our reign is officially over

 

[bananafish]

Wow. Never expected somebody to be jumping on a Celtics bandwagon in 2007. Or anytime in the next five years. But Allen, Pierce, Jefferson, Rondo and Green aren't terrible. But it's a weird mix. By the time Rondo, Green, and Tony Allen are playing near their potential, Allen and Pierce will be going downhill.

Green is a good prospect, jack of all trades type of deal. Normally you won't get a twenty five-thirty point outburst from him, but he'll consistently give you a fair amount of points, rebounds and decent passing. The weird thing is how three of their best players will be small forwards.

They just announced the Brandan Wright trade.
BW for J-Rich and Jermareo Davidson.

 

[Ghostvirus]

WOW! Seattle got rid of Jesus. Big surprise!

 

[Ben Urich]

Reyshawn Terry! Alright!

 

[DBella]

WOW! Seattle got rid of Jesus. Big surprise!

Somebody, anybody, please convince me the trade was worth it. As far as I am concerned, and most Sonics fans would agree, Ray Allen WAS the Seattle Supersonics. His leadership on and off the court will be sorely missed.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Could some one who knows the details of the trade. Please talk DBella down. He is bugging.

 

[Fran]

It's for the future, my dear.
