***2012-13 NBA THREAD!!! New Season/New Thread - LET'S GO!!!!!***

I'll put it like this. If a GM had given him a max deal last year, even with his performance, he'd look dumb right now.

Kind of like the GM who trades Igoudala, Vucevic, and Moe Harkless for a year of him.

I agree you don't risk much for him. But the skills are such that he's the second best center when healthy.

This year ha actually been a bit topsy turvy though because the top two guys at the position aren't healthy and haven't been the top two guys. Duncan is the best center in the league this year, Noah probably number two, Gasol, Horford, Monroe, Chandler, Jefferson, and Lopez in some order behind them.

Ty Lawson at the buzzer.....BANG!!! ITS GOOD! NUGGETS WIN!!!! NUGGETS WIN!!!!

denver has the best home record in the nba.

Aaron Brooks possibly resigning with the Rockets is great for two reasons:

One, it makes my Aaron Brooks red tuxedo bobble head relevant against. Number two, two years ago the Rockets traded Brooks to Phoenix for Goran Dragic and a number 1 pick. Today, Dragic is back in Phoenix and Brooks may be back to the Rockets.

I love NBA player movement.

Bolded portion is important. He hasn't been healthy his entire career 1 season over 65 games played. ONE. He is the second best talent at center. But if you miss 1/3 of the season, you can't be considered the second best at anything. Potential. It has gotten more coaches and GMs fired than anything else. Bynum is loaded with it. Unfortunately his knees can't support all that potential. Therefore, he is NOT the second best center in the league.

Magic was saying that Bynum is the type of guy that won't play with pain and he takes the summers off. Out of shape and slow to return from injury... That's a bad combination.

God wants Curry to play on an awful team where he can score 40 a night. They should trade him to Charlotte. It's what the world demands.

I'm sure Charlotte would love to have him, seeing how he's a hometown guy and all. And they need a guy like that in order to lure other top free agents there. However, he has, I think, 4 years left on his current deal. So he's not going anywhere anytime, soon. Much less a club like Charlotte.

My fantasy team is incredible. We do points scoring and head 2 head matchups in our league. My team has only lost once and has scored almost 1,300 more points than the second place guy. I've got players who've been hot for stretches, then when one cools off, another picks it up:

- Tony Parker
- Steph Curry
- Kyle Lowry
- Monta Ellis
- Tyreke Evans
- James Harden
- Tim Duncan
- Blake Griffin
- DeMarcus Cousins
- Joakim Noah
- JJ Hickson

Doesn't seem like all that dominant a team does it? That's how I got them all on auction day. They're incredibly dominant. I've been killing almost every one I've faced every week. This week I'm leading my match up 878 to 365 with one day to go. The next highest score for the week in the league is 517...

Problem is...what would Charlotte have to give up to get him ? He has a home in Charlotte, his family is here, he would be a hometown favorite. The Bobcats would just shoot themselves in the foot to give up too much to get him and then have to trade him 2 years later because they can't build around him.

i used to check the fantasy league every day but it is literally dead and now i check it once a week and let it run on its own

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

Magic putting a million down for leBron to participate in the dunk contest. Durant putting a thousand.

[ixcuincle]

You can just crown the Heat the Eastern Conference champions right now. No one is even on their level. No way they lose the East.

There is still hope for anyone who makes the playoffs. If it was just pure points scoring it'd probably be over for everyone but me and the second place guy and I could probably lock it up by next week.

Must be nice.

LMAO

[Kosher Ham]

I think that pic is silly Nick.

But LeBron needs to let the whole "King James" thing go. I understand why he does and did it...but it is part of why he has even Jordan saying he would take Kobe IMO.

Someone on the radio made a comment about LeBron a week or so ago...he looks younger than when he came into the league even with the hair loss. I was rolling.
