Second he drops to 2nd tier status he stops getting those calls.

Dude, seriously? Watch Game 4 and come back to me.

Just got back. Yup, looks like the Hawks were jipped again.

Why'd you edit your post? I liked your original one better!!!

Robert Traylor is dead. :( RIP

[M.O.T.H.]

Damn that's awful.

I cant believe Tractor Traylor was still only 34 years old.

[JRTPlaya21]

RIP Tractor Traylor.

[D-Unit]

That's awful... RIP. I was just talking about him with my dad the other day when we were watching Dallas beat the Lakers... why? Because he's the guy Dallas gave up to get Dirk.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

RIP Tractor Traylor, big fan of his at Michigan. I do hope his death brings more awareness to overweight athletes. It applies more to offensive and defensive lineman but there are pro athletes out there who are obese and think that because they are athletes and work out they are immune to diseases associated with obesity. Traylor could have been a good player if he would have kept his weight in control. I remember reading he once ate a 12 piece bucket of fried chicken, drank a case of beer, then 1 hour later went to play in a NYC summer league game.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!

LeBron can't make a big shot............

[devinhester=R.O.Y 2006]

LeBron just threw down the dagger.

Hope we can see the Bulls vs. Heat in the Eastern Finals. Bulls need to take care of business tomorrow against the Hawks now.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Good God LeBron at least save the tears until you at least win the Eastern Conference. Needless to say I'll be rooting hard for the Bulls and Rose to kick LeBron's ass.

Question for the board...a ton of talk lately on Westbrook taking to many shots and whatnot and hurting the Thunder.

My question is, would the Thunder consider moving Westbrook to add another piece? They could slide Maynor into the PG slot, to go along with Sefolosha, Durant, Perkins, and Ibaka.

Who is someone they could pick up in exchange for Westbrook?

I said the Thunder should trade Westbrook,Perkins,Harden and maybe someone else for Dwight Howard.

IMO Westbrook and Harden for CP3 makes sense. Westbrook is in the Rose/Wade mold he needs to be the #1 scorer. Unfortunately for him he plays with the best scorer in the game.

I was going to say that as well. They have to have some picks, expriring contracts and whatnot to throw at Orlando. Give up Westbrook, Nate Robinson, Daquan Coook, their 2012 1st Rd pick, and their 2013 1st Rd pick.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Orlando would certainly ask for Perkins who you'd want to move anyways if you got D12. Defensively D12 and Ibaka would be impossible to score on.

I think the Perkins trade was the key. 3-0 against the Heat with him, 1-5 without. I think thats telling. The Heat fnally quit treating the Celtics like the Gods of Basketball and played physical. And u can say what u want: the Celtics were injured, Rondo had one arm, etc: the Heat just won. Got to continue that physical play against....well it will be the Bulls. And Bill Simmons, I love u...when u aren't talking Celtics-Heat. Saying tonight 5 against 8. Saying Wade had a huge series cuz he killed Rondo and got Pierce thrown out of game 1. Whatever dude. Sore ass loser ****. BOOM!

[SeanTaylorRIP]

This trade would make a ton of sense to me:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=3b55jcf
IMO Makes everyone better:

Hawks:

PG: Jameer Nelson/Jeff Teague
SG: Kirk Hinrich/Jamal Crawford
SF: Joe Johnson/Marvin Williams
PF: Al Horford/Josh Powell
C: Kendrick Perkins/Hilton Armstrong

Magic:
PG: Russell Westbrook/Gilbert Arenas
SG: James Harden/J.J. Reddick
SF: Hedo Turkoglu/Quentin Richardson
PF: Josh Smith/Brandon Bass/Ryan Anderson
C: Zaza Pachulia/Daniel Orton

Thunder:
PG: Eric Maynor/Nate Robinson
SG: Thabo Sefelosha/Daequan Cook
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Serge Ibaka/Nick Collison/BJ Mullens
C: Dwight Howard/Nazr Mohammed

[Docta]

The Perkins trade wouldn't have mattered much. Him and Nate might have helped them win 1 or 2 games, but the Heat played better than they have all season. Glen Davis wasn't much of a presence inside. Rondo and Shaq's injuries didn't help much either.

I think the westbrook/Cp3 trade is more realistic.

Stern will do whatever it takes to keep D12 from going to a smaller market. Too many people will be pushing him towards LA or New York, maybe Chicago.

Are you ******* kidding me?

Get the **** out of there with that ****. I know you want D12 on the Lakers but stop spewing absolute bull ****.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Another trade I thought of is Mike Conley, Rudy G for Westbrook and Nick Collison.

Do you not pay attention to sports? Commissioners want there best players on the best teams and in the best markets. Its not me being a Laker fan, its me being realistic.

CC Sabathia is the latest example I can remember. Chill the **** out
