Eh, Felton did well when the ball was constantly in his hands and all he had to do was run the PnR with stat and he still managed to **** up late game situations by trying too hard to be the hero. I have zero faith in him deciding between Stat and Melo.

Apparently a recent pic of Raymond Felton

Looks like the Blazers are going to match for Batum. Have fun with that.

So the Lakers and Magic in talks again.

Lakers want Dwight extended

Magic wants Bynum extended

Get ******* real people, they are both going to go to FA to get that extra cash. Lets just make a damn deal.

Actually, the Magic don't want Bynum. They want to find a 3rd team that wants Bynum.... HOU or CLE.

BTW, Dwight loses out on $30M+ if he enters FA. It's in his best interest to extend with a team he gets traded to.

This paints a bad picture of Knicks fans... that's pretty dang ugly.

Bulldogs · 07-18-2012, 02:08 PM

I guarantee you those comments were edited so it's only the negative ones. Out of like 2000 there will always be 10-15 like that.

edit: there is 9000 comments on it, I looked at like 50 and didn't see a single negative one.

Classy. Too often I see fans bashing previous players from their teams who played well for them, just because that player is leaving or has left.

That's why I won't bash Dwight. He wants to move on and try to win elsewhere, that's fine. Thanks for the memories and good luck.

Yes but Dwight is a douche bag. You're well within your rights to bash him.

Meh, every team has idiots. Really bad ones too. Doesn't matter how classy an organization you are or aren't. As Bulldogs said, 95% of the comments were wishing him luck and thanking him.

I'm a Jeremy Lin fan, and I'm gonna root for him no matter where he goes.

I'll root for Lin as long as the game doesn't get in the way of the best interest of the Knicks.

I wish him well.

That's VERY true.

I think the latest Dwight rumors is the best so far.

LAL gets Dwight Howard
CLE gets Andrew Bynum
ORL gets Anderson Varejao

If the star of the package is Varejao that sucks.

SickwithIt1010 · 07-18-2012, 04:15 PM

The Magic would be getting picks on top of picks and would be getting rid of Turkey glue and J Rich.

I looked at it too, there's far more than you think. Not so much as the first guy to say a racicst derogatory term but people lambasting him for undercutting the knicks by renegotiating the hosuton deal.

take out the asian americans and those that aren't knick fans.

Do all athletes have access to that social media stuff? I honestly wouldn't even do it. I'd just hold fund raisers or whatever if they want to come out and meet me, but sometimes it amazes me that people get so attached to athletes.

I guess that 5% of the crowd failed to acknowledge that NY didn't match the offer. So it's all his fault Houston put a poison pill in and that NY didn't want to fork over the cash. Facebook, twitter, I don't do any of that stuff anyway but if I was a millionaire I certainly would stay away from it. Not that I couldn't take some negativity any day for 25 million, but as seen with Kyle Williams after the playoffs people just get carried away.

the hell, why would they want sideshowbob makes no sense

soybean · 07-18-2012, 05:53 PM

I know we're not suppose to put any stock into the summer league but Jeremy Lamb has been damn consistent in all his games so far.

AHungryWalrus · 07-18-2012, 06:44 PM

Cavs would be:

1 - Kyrie, Gibson
2 - Waiters, Azubuike
3 - ?????
4 - Thompson, Harangody
5 - Bynum, Zeller

That's not a bad starting 5, if Waiters can actually perform like a top 10 draft pick. Still no depth whatsoever, though.

Edit* Sorry, starting 4, and whatever they throw at the 3 spot, clearly.
