great come back pal, way to not respond to any of the points in the post and make yourself look like an even bigger tool.

lol how was Wade in 2006 any more of a perimeter player than LeBron. 60% of Wade's shot attempts were jumpshots. He made 39% of them. Last year 64% of LeBron's shots were jumpshots. He made 43% of them. I remember all the Laker fans were [expletive]ing about Wade doing nothing, but flopping and getting to the line in the 06 finals. Funny that he's now praised as a perimeter oriented player lol. Wade took 10.7 FT a game that year. LeBron took 9.4 FT per game last year. So if you want to say LeBron got fouled( a lot ) then take a look at Wade who made a living out of getting to the line and getting inside. So Dwyane Wade(who got inside more than LeBron) has had no magical 5% increase in his FG% without Shaq. I don't expect LeBron to have a 5% decrease. I would be willing to bet money( alot of money) that LeBron shoots at least 45% from the field next year. Wade averaged 48, 50, and 49% in three seasons with Shaq on his team. In the two since then he's shot 46% and 49%. Dude please Shaq isn't going to keep LeBron from getting inside lmao. If anything he makes it easier by pinning the other team's bigmen down deep so they can't come over to help when LeBron does beat his guy. And clearly you havn't watched Shaq. In Miami it was usually at least once a game Wade got inside and handed it off to Shaq for a wide open dunk from the penetration. Shaq doesn't need to draw his guy out like a jumpshooting bigman does. He just eats space in the lane and forces his man to stick him. Can't wait for Shaq and LeBron to dominate the league to shut the Kobe dicksuckers up. He still draws attention from the other players on the team when he has those guys in the post. Guaranteed.

Well I'm pretty sure Wade has said he's waiting to see what moves the Heat make before he signs his extension. I don't want Iverson either as him and Wade is just a bad fit in the back court altogether. Damn Heat better sign someone in 2010. If Wade bolts that would screw over the franchise for a decade

lol Ryan Hollins has to be one of the worst players in the league that actually gets minutes. He's soooo bad. But this is a good pickup for Dallas, I like it. They just need to resign Bass and possibly trade some pieces for a star that's on a team looking to tank and rebuild. Honestly now it seems that 2/3 of the league are just giving away their valuable assets to try and rebuild. LA, CLE, ORL, BOS, SA seem to be the only teams in the league now. I expect a lot of 60+ win teams this upcoming year and a lot more teams that are terrible.

Dude shut up, making it harder for LeBron to get to the basket? So I guess Shaq really made it tough for Kobe and Wade to get to the basket? Those guys experienced their biggest success driving to the basket with Shaq on their team and they won titles.

Well of course the agent is going to deny the rumors. How many times do you see guys say they arn't shopping ____ player and then a week later that player is traded. Btw how did you talk to Steve Blake's agent lol that's pretty neat

Patriots and Eagles in the Superbowl A rematch of 5 years ago.

O.M.F.GOSH Getting rid of Dalembert AND Willie Green? Wow I would blow my load everywhere if that happened.

Laker fans, you guys should be scared. Shaq is going to help LeBron lose his championship virginity. Shaq and LeBron is going to be a very attractive place for guys. Their going to get either Ariza or Artest too and adding Shaq and Ariza/ARtest to a 66 win team is going to make them very very scary.

So are they saving up all their money for 2010 or not? I havn't heard one guy they were interested in. I suppose if they get Bosh next year though then it's all good, but yeahhhhh

I understand the whole saving money for 2010 thing, but really if you guys don't have any pieces to surround LeBron with in 2010 what would make him want to leave his contender in Cleveland to come to NY? Maybe if you guys kept Lee, drafted Rubio it would at least make him think about it.

Just letting you guys know, but Artest was in Cleveland with LeBron on tuesday so don't get too excited. Ron to Cleveland has also been picking up storm. I would think that Artest would want to be that missing piece to help his team win a title, not jump on the team that just won the title.

Pretty sure Nike would win. I'm not going to compare the frontcourt and the backcourts because I know you just want to hear how badly Dwight would rape, so we're going to ship that. Nike has an overall better team and you forgot Dirk Nowitzki who I'm pretty sure is with Nike. McGrady is a stiff and shouldn't even be starting over Josh Smith or Jamison. Kobe and LeBron = gg BTW I'd start Duncan over Howard. He is better.

Yeah I'm not ready to give up on Brand especially when his value is this low. However if we did this move and also did the rumored Dalembert for McGrady deal we would be strong contenders in the 2010 FA class which would make things very interesting. Hey Chris Bosh wanna come play with Thad and Iggy? C- Speights F- Bosh F- Thad G- Iggy G- Blake/Lou/Jrue Not bad

It's not exactly the getting McGrady part that would excite me. It's the part about getting rid of Dalembert and his terrible contract. At least McGrady's is up after this year if he doesn't work out(and he probably won't). The part of the article about the Sixers adding more players to the deal scares me though. I don't want to give up any of our young guys in this deal. Especially Thad and Speights.

If Artest goes to LA/Orlando he's offically a [expletive]. He's worth way more than the MLE or whatever he'll be offered and he just decides to hop on the two teams that went to the Finals. What a dousche. I'm hoping for Ariza to go to the Cavs though.

This works for me. I really think Andre Miller(as much as I love him) needs to go sooner rather than later. Getting a competent point guard that can shoot the three in Steve Blake works for me and he will be less salary. If we also got Outlaw in this trade that would be amazing, but I wouldn't count on that part of the deal coming true haha. Actually Outlaw is the only other piece on the teamm that combined with Blake to equal Dre Miller's salary. I think Portland has CAP room though, but we'll see.

I'm not a big fan of adidas shoes. I love their shirts though, very comfy and elastic when playing sports. Nike easily has the better shoes though and it's not even close. For sports clothes though I like adidas.

1. Dwyane Wade 2. Brandon Roy 3. Ray Allen 4. Manu Ginobili 5. Rip Hamilton That's who I like the most out of the SG's. I'll take those guys over Joe Johnson/Vince Carter any day. And I'll be the first to say anyone that doesn't have Wade #1 and Roy #2 doesn't know what their talking about. After that it's arguable however.

FUUUUUU I was hoping Villanueva would go to Cleveland, he would've been a great fit with Shaq.

Yeah I didn't see what was so special about his workout either. I mean it's cool to see him do some drills, but you can't compare his work ethnic to Kobe's from that video alone lol.

Cmon now Yao has been an all-star center for years now(and rightfully so). This is terrible news if it's true though and a huge loss for the league. Maybe that's why Houston was so eager to try and nab Rubio.

I think the Celtics will have trouble with the Cavs. Two years ago when they won their championship Cleveland really have them a run for their money. That Celtics team was also at the top of thier game that they'll ever be at. Now add two all-stars to the team for Cleveland in Mo Williams and Shaq. Take Posey off the Celtics. I think that'll push Cleveland over the top. Orlando will still give them match up problems, but without Turkoglu and with Shaq as a post-up option/guy to match-up with Dwight I think the adjustments will work for them.

Brand's value is probably at an all-time low at this point. The only thing we could possibly get for him would be bad contracts and maybe a solid young player or two. It's just not worth it at this point. Brand will be a lot better this upcoming season with the additional shooters and hopefully with Andre Miller leaving or taking a reduced role.

Tom Brady. Peyton Manning has had elite recievers his entire career(two of them). Brady had crappy recievers and still won Superbowls and winning MVP Honors. Then when Brady was given Peyton Manning-esque recievers he broke the single season record for Most TD in a year. That's just one year with those guys. Wes Welker wasn't a pro-bowler before New England either. Moss was always a beast, but Brady rejuvenated his career. Brady is the best player of this generation. I would trust Brady to lead my team on a single drive as well with my season on the line over Peyton Manning who was notorious for choking up until a few years ago.
