Curry Still Following His Dream

I sure could see Brooks getting traded.

he has one year of experience, having played in one game for the Clippers. Probably a bit more than $10,000 or so.

Let’s wait for March 15 and Brook to come back before we start tweeting stuff like that to dwill, bk, dh12. assuming they read tweets, its not the best face to put forward when so many awesome or terrible things can happen between now and then. These guys are aware of the state of the team and I really dont think fan pressure will get anything positive done.

If we lose Deron for nothing, fail to get anything with cap space and tank into late March, ill be right behind you, buddy.

I don’t speak twitter.

How would Jermaine Dupri know lol?

OKC – blew up perennial playoff teams and tanked in Ray Allen’s final years and tanked some more. Lucked into Durant, Harden, and Westbrook but also got a bust in Jeff Green. Also will be in cap hell once Harden, Westbrook, and Ibaka get new extensions because Westbrook, Durant, and Harden were all top 5 picks therefore they will all be making huge money on their RFA extensions which will all likely be maxed out.

they could’ve easily had Greg Oden, Yi, Oj Mayo, and Thabeet instead. Also with the new incentive scales for rookies. Westbrook is bound to get Derrick Rose money if he makes another All-NBA team

Portland – was regarded as one of the most dysfunctional franchises ever from 01-05. they had an affinity for drafting players with health warnings. then to compensate for them when they got injured Paul Allen throws max money at every mid-level player he can hoping that once his injured stars return they will go to the championship. He refused to heed the advice his three former GM’s in the last 5 years tried to give him in blowing up the roster and re-tooling. Nope he fired them and kept a 75 million dollar payroll for multiple first round exits

LAC – the franchise with the worst winning percentage in NBA history and maybe all of sports? With 4 playoff appearances to their name all-time? with one of the most despised owners in the game? I wish the nets could’ve landed Blake Griffin too if they would’ve won the lottery that year. you would think with how often they stay in the lottery they would be more competitive. then it takes an nba-owned team on the brink of contraction giving them chris paul because the rest of the owners threw fits that the lakers would rule for another decade had Paul went there and attracted D12. Also the best two free agents they’ve landed in the last decade is a 31 year old forward who tore his knee up last year and an overweight, lazy point guard who they gave up the top pick in this draft just to rid of his contract that they gave even though he showed the same pattern of laziness on his other teams

Boston – Drafting Paul Pierce. good. surrounding him with Antoine Walker, Kenny Anderson, and Vin Baker? very very very bad. they wasted all of Pierces prime years trying to clean up the locker room and mixing and matching random veterans around him. they year before they won the title they appeared headed nowhere with an abysmal 26 win season. It took aforementioned Seattle, desperate at any measure to get to OKC, dumping Ray Allen on them and KG finally coming to his senses(about 5 years too late) and requesting a trade. Some gambles dont pay off(Walker, Baker, Payton) and some do(Allen leading to KG leading to ring)

Chicago – should we even mention how Jerry Krause abruptly ended the MJ/Phil era? or how disastrous the Tim Floyd era was(Ron "Halftime Hennessey Artest)? less stupid must recognize real stupid because they got a coup for Eddy Curry from Isiah Thomas but then screwed it up when they chose Tyrus Thomas over Lamarcus Aldridge. They toiled in mediocrity for all of Scott Skiles era and actually thought they had a chance at landing Kobe. Then Stern rigged the draft so even with the tenth worst record and a 1.8% chance of landing the top pick they still get hometown hero Derrick Rose. And if not for Rose and Thibs they’d still be mediocre as the have an affinity for locking up dependable starters into damn near superstar contracts.

Wade is 30? your point? he can always be less reckless and fix his jumper. plus Lebron is there not sure if you heard of him. Kobe still chugging at 33. Pierce 34. Dirk was 32, the mavs were the oldest team last year. Manu is 33 who was playing like a beast until last night.

Knicks do have a flawed roster but they at least put themselves in the mix. Now when they get Steve Nash next year who will still be chugging at 37 like J-kidd then we’ll see who is just in the mix

there is no clear-cut strategy. you need a whole lot of luck to get far. and the nets always seem to gamble on the high-fail-rate risks too often
