Real Deal

You Jamesus PLP TSmaili ms2326 But I'm pretty sure there are others, without the team rep. And yes, the option to search for that is in the Members tab > Use Advanced Filters button...but you have to count them out, unless you have access to the database and phpMyAdmin.

Seems like a few of our dedicated guys don't have team reps. The Nets are missing a few (Guru and Uni, just me glancing and noticing). The Lakers are obviously going to take this, but one thing that should be noted is that I never changed the name of the Lakers' team rep file. Same with the Clippers. When I re-created the team reps, and renamed all but two (probably had something to do with them being in LA together), it actually removed all team reps from OTR aside from those, and almost everyone had to go back and redo their profile section for them. Still, we need more variety. Lakers 105 Celtics 34 Heat 30 Bulls 29 Knicks 26 Cavs 25 Raptors 25 Hawks 20 Rockets 18 Nets 17 Magic 17 Suns 15 Mavs 14 Nuggets 13 Sixers 13 Spurs 13 Pistons 11 Wizards 11 Thunder 9 Blazers 8 Pacers 7 Wolves 6 Warriors 5 Clippers 5 Bucks 5 Bobcats 4 Grizzlies 4 Hornets 4 Jazz 4 Kings 3

Haha...done. Had to put something up. I'll start adding rumors soon.

Funny story...I was messing around late morning, told a couple of friends that LSU would win by four touchdowns. They wanted to make that bet, basically give me a 28-point spread to bet on, and I wasn't going to take it. However, they kept slamming me for my statement, and I took a $100 bet. LSU wins by 32. While I didn't really care who won the game, aside from the bet, it's going to be incredible once I get my money tomorrow.

OTR has been dead. Here, I'll go this route: one day this last month, my age was a bigger number than the amount of posts. And, today, we only got around 200.

They'll have a few more chances down the road, but it makes me wonder just how much longer Spo will have a job (I don't think he's doing that bad) and how long it will take to deal Bosh and realize he's not going to help Wade and James out as much as they thought. Personally, if I were the Heat, I'd send LeBron to Orlando.

Sadly...Vick, Cutler, Henne, Kolb, Collins, Schaub, Cassel, and Campbell are all out with injuries, though (Collins had to retire because of concussions). Only three...McNabb, Orton and McCown...have lost their jobs healthy.

I LOVE THE NBA! We are aliiiiiiiiive! Thanks for all the updates and discussions, guys. Everyone is doing a great job.

Why the hell would the Magic take Bogut over Bynum? That's my question. They could probably take both Bynum and Odom from us, if they give us the right package.

That's true, but much different at the same time. The Lakers were 6th defensively (2009, by the way), and they would've lost against Houston or Denver if they were terrible on that end of the court. Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Bynum (50 games) and Ariza? Not to mention Phil Jackson, and while Fisher is probably an average starting PG at best, he's also one of the most clutch players over the last decade. If the Knicks make room for CP3, they will have three players on their roster. Filling the rest with minimum contracts won't assure them a ring. Maybe an ECF visit, but I can't sit here and say they could beat a team with a legitimate defensive anchor + one of the better superstar scorers in the NBA (ex. Dallas).

May get to see the entire game this time. I've been so busy, it sucks...missing most of every game I want to watch, even a couple of KU games.

Yes, but it would be nearly impossible without having just two players on the roster (Amare and Melo). If the Knicks can get away with that, I'll be shocked.

Dude, come on...let's not go that route again. LeBron made Cleveland think he was going to re-sign. He then made it an event on national TV, which turned the organization into one big joke. Many people have made room for CP3 and Deron, as well as Dwight. There is no difference. LeBron basically forced the Cavaliers into trading him (sign and trade) to Miami, because if Cleveland didn't, they wouldn't have gotten a single thing in return. And what exactly did they get in return? Milan Macvan, and a few future picks that won't amount to much at all. At least the Magic could get Bynum and Odom out of the deal.

Wow.

Bad news for the Heat, by the way. The Knicks will still have trouble defensively, but any offensive team of THAT caliber can knock them off. If the Suns, Kings and Mavericks were able to find their way into the WCF with less superstar power, you know the Knicks can.

Well damn...he didn't tell them to fix the team OR he'll leave? He just came out and told them, "I'm done. Trade me to the team everyone knew I was going to want to go to."
