[L.A.]

Alot of rumors I've been hearing that the Warriors have a proposal to get KG??? Not sure who the guys are but I think it would Monta Ellis, Brandon Wright, and Foyle for KG???

 

[Spider-Fan]

They watched it. No picks.

No trades either?

OK, I didn't miss much.

In Hiss-Fight Between Cuban and Nellie, Mavs Are The Real Losers

Don Nelson is being sued by the owner of the Mavericks for using "confidential information" to beat his former team in the playoffs, and if an arbitrator agrees with this claim, then Nelson might not be allowed to coach again for Golden State.

O'Connor: "The thrust of [Cuban's] counter claim is the Warriors beat the Mavs because Nellie had confidential information and he wants to enjoin Don from coaching against the Mavericks."

If Cuban wants to sue someone over the Golden State debacle, why not Dirk?

I hope there's some facet of legality I'm missing here. Otherwise, this is one of the most ridiculous and puerile things I've ever read.

No trades either?

OK, I didn't miss much.

They did as much in the draft last night as I did. Maybe less. At least I laughed numerous times.

 

[Ben Urich]

Apparently the Blazers have made another trade, but can't announce it for another week or so.

Jarret Jack, Webster, and Pryzbilla for Correy Maggette.

Jarret Jack, Webster, and Pryzbilla for Correy Maggette.

is this true?

 

[The Riddler]

is this true?

clippers are stupid if this happens.

 

[L.A.]

I just know Maggette back on the marker because the clips drafted Al Thronton.

 

[bananafish]

So that was just a stab in the dark?

Anyways, what undrafted players do you guys hope your team picks up? I am really hoping the Wizards sign Zabian Dowdell. I cannot believe he didn't get drafted.

This is just...just... f-ing stupid!

God I hate Cuban.

Apparently, the Blazers were trying to dump Darius Miles on New York in the Randolph deal. I'm surprised Zeke didn't bite on it.

 

[Ben Urich]

Rumored names in the mystery Portland small forward deal: Shawn Marion and Andrei Kirilenko.

Do I even need to say it at this point?

Stephen A. gets heckled at the draft:

I haven't smirked that hard in a while.

Last rumors I heard about that clown D-Miles, were about how he's a permanent fixture at a local Baskin & Robbins in Portland and has gotten a little fat. I'm serious.

 

[Ben Urich]

Hahahaha. The Blazers fans hate him. That's sad. Forehead pounds complete my life.

R.I.P.

Also, the Heat made a qualifying offer to Earl Barron, making him a restricted free agent. J, your franchise is safe.

 

[Mister J]

I really can't get over that. Barron sucks. It can't be overstated. Must be a lot of competition to find a good 14th man.

 

[Ben Urich]

Earl Barron gets a qualifying offer, yet Brevin Knight gets waived. There is no justice.

 

[Mister J]

Miami should look into signing him fairly cheap.

Love GP, but it's over. Last I heard, he was talking about retiring in Seattle anyway.

Tuesday will be interesting.

 

[Ben Urich]

July 1 = negotiations
July 11 = first day of signings

**** yes.

Are you ready for this?
Supposedly, the mystery small forward for whom the Blazers traded is

LOL at Noah. He is a ball of energy. Watching him, & T. Thomas on the floor at the same time will be interesting.

 

[Ben Urich]

I applaud the Bulls for posting the new players' numbers on their website. Noah is 13, which is what he wore at Florida. Elsewhere, Oden is 52, Durant is 35, Jeff Green is 22, Glen Davis is 11, and Ray Allen switched to 20.

But yeah, I have NBA Live players to create, and they can't wear blank jerseys.

 

[bananafish]

Its pretty confusing for Nick Young. He wore #1 at USC, so I can't be sure that the jersey he was holding up at his presser wasn't just the #1 jersey they give to the team's first draft pick. But I bet he'll probably end up wearing #1, Jared Jeffries never really earned that retired number.

You heard the man, give up, all resistance is futile. The Blazers dynasty is now complete.
