and i'm not talking about all the selfish crappy hero ball BRICK CITY shots he was jacking up all last year @ 43% FG (30.3% 3pt) .......
The WWE has issued an full apology after an on-air personality joked that one of the wrestlers was "like Kobe Bryant at a hotel in Colorado ... he's unstoppable." https://www.tmz.com/2012/07/30/wwe-apology-kobe-bryant-rape-joke/ |

d.howard is an absolute stud problem is his FT shooting, what happens when teams hack howard every possesion and howard keeps going 1 for 2 from the charity stripe and kobe cant get the ball - kobe is going to get and lose his mind kobe will yell at dwight like he does with his whipping boy p.gasol (what a soft c0Ck) and dwight will then sook and demand to be traded |

sure he makes alot of tough shots but problem is 10 times as many are all bricks badly hurting his team, lets have kobe shooting 43% (FG% last season) hogging the ball instead of feeding bynum and gasol at about 50% from the field |

NBA bigman FREE AGENTS (still available) "the leftovers" - who goes where???
in NBA Betting CHRIS "birdman" ANDERSON - amnesty clause has been used by the nuggets you have been cut you dumbass Andersen remains the subject of a police matter that has yet to be resolved. In May, Douglas County authorities seized property, including electronics, from Andersen's Larkspur home as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children unit's ongoing investigation. But an attorney for Andersen had told The Denver Post that his client was threatened with retaliation by a woman who represented herself as being of legal age, and he was asked to give her money and lingerie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nuggets then sign Anthony Randolph

SOUTHAMPTON, NY -- Just days after signing with the New York Knicks, Jason Kidd was arrested Sunday morning on an alleged drunken driving charge after a single-car crash, according to Southampton Town police. Police said that Kidd's 2010 Cadillac Escalade struck a telephone pole and went into the woods near the intersection of Cobb Road and Little Cobb Road in Water Mill, not far from his Hamptons house. Police responded at 1:56 a.m. Kidd, 39, was alone in the car, according to police. He was transported to Southampton Hospital for minor injuries and released into police custody. Kidd was arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge on Sunday morning in Southampton Town Justice Court and released on his own recognizance. Sag Harbor attorney Eddie Burke Jr. said he is representing Kidd and was on his way to speak with Kidd late Sunday morning. "We await further discovery from the district attorney's office," Burke said. Kidd, one of the best point guards in the NBA, signed a three-year, $9.5 million deal with the Knicks on Thursday. He won a championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 — in fact police said his address is still listed as Dallas, Texas. He has also played with the Phoenix Suns and New Jersey Nets . This is not Kidd's first brush with the law. He was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge in Jan. 2001, when he was married to his former wife Joumana. They divorced in 2007. Kidd was prosecuted on domestic violence assault charges after being arrested for striking his wife during a domestic dispute. Kidd had to pay a $200 fine and attend domestic violence counseling for six months. Kidd is now married Porschla Coleman, a former model. Kidd bought a house last year in Water Mill for a reported $5.97 million. |

The blazers are in the (collecting/building assets) mode according to management m.brooks (1.2m, 1.3m, 2.3m) is a very valuable asset and teams are seriously under valuing him to get a player of his production and upside locked up for 3 more seasons at such a cheap (team friendly) price is extremely hard to come by The trailblazers should take on k.Humphries and m.brooks hell they don’t even have to give any assets up just spend cap room (hibbert aint coming so move on) and they can even take a crack at free agents in 1 year The blazers were very impressed with Humphries after seeing him first hand last season Aldridge and hibbert would have made a fantastic frontcourt but it aint happening so Aldridge/Humphries would still make a good frontcourt and I have heard they are interested in hickson and or e.brand (no guarantee anyway) for the frontcourt as well n.batum/w.matthews/m.brooks would make a good trio for the SF/SG spots with batum getting about 36mins and matthews and brooks getting 30 mins each No way do the blazers want to allow d.howard going to the lakers and being nearly unbeatable they would rather make it an eastern conference problem with howard going to the nets The blazers have the cap room to accommodate the trade and m.brooks is awesome compensation, k.Humphries has very little interest from NBA teams as evidenced by last year having to resign for 1 season @ 8 million with the nets because no one else was interested, I am hearing only minimal interest from other teams signing Humphries (even as UFA) and only interested at 7-8 million per year, why not just offer Humphries a 1 year deal for 12million dollars (that would get him to sign) and he can have another year (he has improved for consecutive years now) to show teams he deserves a big long term deal |

NBA: Warriors' Biedrins hit with tax caseJuly 10, 2012 8:40am
RIGA - Golden State Warriors' center Andris Biedrins is facing tax evasion charges in his homeland Latvia, a prosecution official in the Baltic nation said on Monday. Aiga Senberga, spokeswoman for the Latvian state prosecutor's office, confirmed to AFP that a case had been launched against the NBA player as a result of a request received from the country's tax authorities. Senberga underlined that the decision by the prosecutor's office to open a probe was in no way linked to Biedrins's status as a high profile sportsman. "This is a normal process for Latvia," she said, adding that there was no information yet on when the case might reach court. Latvia's State Revenue Service told AFP in a statement that based on previous cases, such proceedings could last for an average of three years. The revenue service said that Biedrins and two other individuals were accused of evading value-added tax to the tune of 11,500 lats (16,000 euros, $20,000) in November 2011. The case revolves around the import of a Malibu Wakesetter boat from the United States to Latvia for personal use, with a bogus leisure-hire company having been created to help dodge tax duties, it alleged. Anyone found guilty of the alleged offenses could face a jail term of up to five years, community service or a fine as well as confiscation of property, the revenue service said. Biedrins, now 26, started his professional career as a teenager in 2002 with BK Skonto in the Latvian capital Riga. He entered the NBA draft in 2004 and was picked by the Golden State Warriors, who are based in Oakland, California. - AFP |

so in other words m.camby welcome to the knicks camby would get 15-18 mins (MAX) a night playing time for the knicks cause they (camby-chandler) sure as hell cant be on the court at the same time if he signs with the knicks everything camby has said lately is just all BULLSHIT - camby would be a much better fit with the spurs or nets the heat will not include n.cole in a sign and trade for camby and nor should they and he wont play for the minimum (nor should he) r.lewis is alot more realistic he has gotten a 13m buyout from the hornets so playing for the vets min is no big deal and he has indicated just that + a damn good chance to win a ring should see him sign |

so m.camby is going to come to the knicks and play behind t.chandler (33.2 MPG at center last season) camby said he wanted to : start, play significant minutes, play for a contender and earn at LEAST 3m (mini MLE) so camby aint coming to the knicks unless chandler breaks his leg in the next week or he has been speaking as much shit as steve nash did |

Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups have agreed to sign with the Clippers. Crawford is expected to sign a four-year, $25 million deal with bonuses, according to Marc J. Spears. Billups' deal could be worth as much as $4.3 million. The Clippers are no longer in the running for Ray Allen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- man the clippers just want to keep sucking , maybe they could just rent out some mothers who are breastfeeding - it would be alot cheaper |

the clippers have one last chance to be a half decent team (signing j.crawford instead of r.allen is a huge F-UP and setback) this coming season and that means trading for n.batum look at the PG position for the clippers CP3 = 35 mins, c.billups and j.crawford can play the rest of the approx 13 PG minutes (no use keeping and wasting a very talented e.bledsoe with so few minutes) as well as mins at SG, how bloody small are the clippers planning to play it never works are they just to thick to realise this, caron butler USED to be a good defender problem is due to injury and age he has slowed down significantly and he is supposed to be the teams best perimeter defender (longterm small ball is never a winning combination the clippers had a small taste of it last year and seems like they want even more)
e.bledsoe (1.7m, 2.6m) + c.butler (8.0m, 8.0m) + future rd 1 pick to the blazers for nic batum (sign and trade) or e.bledsoe (1.7m, 2.6m) + r.gomes (4.0m exp) + r.foye OR n.young (sign and trade (approx 4m) to the blazers for nic batum (sign and trade) - more likely as the blazers may not want butlers contract of 8.0m for after next season when gomes contract is expiring this is a very good trade for both teams (blazers cant keep a player who don’t want to be there and the t-wolves have no pieces to help the blazers in a sign and trade) hurry before the t-wolves get batum (RFA) to sign an offer sheet and the blazers have to match and more bullsh!+ (batum wants out of the blazers bad has told them that) so the blazers can get e.bledsoe to team up with no6 pick d.lillard to share the 48 mins at PG and the PG position is set at a very good price for the team |

well i guess this is why the lakers are winners and the clippers are losers the lakers pull off a trade that basically makes them the second best team in the western conference (spurs would need a gun bigman next to duncan to be the 2nd best team)
the lakers have the new FAB FOUR "the N double B Gees" the "NEW BIG BASTARD GUNS" (nash + bynum + bryant + gasol) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and as for the clippers they had r.allen ready to sign (5m MLE) it gives him exactly what he wanted :playing for a contender, good money and a starting job BUT this is why the clippers are still the clippers - LOSERS they choose to sign jamal crawford instead r.allen is an efficient scorer where as j.crawford can get you 20 points on a given night but he will take 20 shots doing it - he shoots up bricks all day long jamal crawford will soon have the clippers named "BRICK CITY" bone headed moves bring CP3 1 step closer to leaving after next season j.crawford...........38.4% (FG)...........30.8% (3pt) this season Career :...............40.8% (FG)...........34.8% (3pt) for his career
r.allen...........45.8% (FG)...........45.3% (3pt) this season Career: .........45.2% (FG) ..........40.0% (3pt) for his career
imagine CP3 giving wide open 3balls to r.allen all night now CP3 will be passing to a wide open crawford who instead will be putting up bricks all night long, wait he wont bother getting the ball from CP3 half the time he will dribble it himself and jack up stupid shots like he has all his career |

seeing as though you think you know so much give me your top 10 players in order (lol if that was your order) and the few players you have just outside the top 10 * what is the main criteria you user to evaluate the best players: -stats -playoff performance -efficiency -longevity (eg not just 1 or 2 great seasons) -weapons (clutch shooter) or weakness in the players game (eg bad on defense or cant shoot FT's) |

are you aware basketball is a 2 way game melo in the top 10 offensively (even if he hurts his teammates by slowing the ball down) no doubt but offense and defense must be combined when ranking a player (sure more weight is given to offense like 70/30 in most cases but overall no way does that equal melo in the top 10 - a much larger ratio is given to d.howard as his defense is game changing as he makes everyone on defense better) l.aldridge is the most complete PF in the nba not the best PF though (k.love and nowitzki are ranked higher overall) if you believe melo is better than love or aldridge i feel sorry for you others will judge or rank players based on efficiency as well and kobe's ball handling or should i say ball hogging resulted in 4.6 assists to 3.52 turnovers and shot 43% from the field for the season (s.nash will improve all his efficiency numbers but thats in the future) perception does not equal reality eg everyone rips l.james for bad 3point shooting (hes improving and kobes regressing) k.bryant vs lebron james (3pt shooting %) lebron is marginally better for 3 straight years what general nba fan would know that Kobe 09/10: 32.9% 10/11: 32.3% 11/12: 30.3%
Lebron 09/10: 33.3% 10/11: 33.0% 11/12: 36.2% r.westbrook is a hell of a player but hes just outside the top 10 (he has a few parts of his game one he improves on will put him in the top 10 very soon but he simply aint there yet

yes nash was stupid for resigning in phoenix for the last 2 years thats for sure - sad thing was in his mind he actually believed the suns could win it all nash is not as smart as you think he told the suns to keep stoudemire instead of trading for KG several years back, he was happy for marion to go but not stoudemire a bit like kobe wanting to trade bynum for 'were talking about jason freakin kidd' funny thing is some of the leagues GM's/owners are just as stupid as some of the players |

i think its clear the lakers pushed hard for nash and made the suns an offer they could and should not have refused regardless of who they are dealing with simply because its better than nothing..
im pretty sure his ex wife had jason richardsons baby and nash divorced her the day after she gave birth lol..i could really care less about his personal life but his kids are the reason he wants to stay close to phoenix..
he is 38 can still ball and has never been to the finals.. i dont see why anyone would have a bad thing to say about nash the guy poured his heart and soul into phoenix..his contract was up and he decided to sign with a team he feels gives him his best shot at a title..nothing wrong with that in my book.
some good points, i am pissed off because r.sarver only made the deal because of the 3 million from the lakers - suns execs wouldnt make thew deal but sarver stepped in not to help nash out we all know thats bullsh!+ just look at all the bullsh!t money saving deals sarver has made to cripple the suns of good players and draft picks over the years |
