No way que Portland trocam o Aldridge. Só pelo Irving, não que precisem mas pela qualidade dele

Eu acho o Mike Brown terrível.

 

 

 

 

Lon Babby - “I’ll consider anybody.”

 

 

It would be cool if they turned this into a reality TV show. You know if we could watch all the interviews one at a time. We got some pretty entertaining candidates: Grant Hill, Charles Barkley, Jim Coughenour, Eddie Johnson… Throw in Steve Carell and Dennis Rodman for further entertainment purposes and this could be a pretty good money maker. I mean we got the likeable, former NBA player, the doofus TV analyst, the overly blunt, color commentator. We even got the super obsessed fan, the comedian and the freak. Yeah, this would be awesome, probably even better than the upcoming season.

 

Why stop there?

 

Alvin Gentry and Steve Kerr for Irony, Dan Majerle as the disgruntled former employee, Steve Nash just so we can reject him again (imagine the interview between Gabe and Andy on the office), Seth Pollack, Phil Jackson, Taylor Griffin and Will Ferrell would make great candidates too. Gosh, I’m getting myself excited for something that will never happen.

J.R. Smith “Very Likely” to Test Free Agency

[Hugo Jr.]

Ainda ontem dizia coisas do tipo "knicks fans are the best in the world" , "i want to be here for a long time" :biggrin:

[Carmelo Anthony]

Claro que ele vai exercer o opt out para depois poder assinar por 5M (que é o máximo que os Knicks podem oferecer). Para o ano terá full Bird Rights e então sim poderemos oferecer um contrato mais generoso. O JR joga golfe com o James Dolan, acredito que fique.

[Taka]

 

Inacreditável...

[Jonas F]

Contratem o departamento médico dos Suns.

[Hugo Jr.]

Contratem jogadores com menos de 40 anos

[Mendx]

Kobe só para o ano

Hill - 53 jogos

Blake - 37 jogos

Gasol - 33 jogos

Nash - 32 jogos

 

And counting

O Nash sem o departamento médico dos Suns por trás nem para starter dá.

Kahhhhhhnnnn!!!!!

 

According to NBA.com, Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn has been fired.

 

But here's the twist...

 

Flip Saunders will likely replace him.

 

According to the report, Saunders, 58, and Wolves owner Glen Taylor have met several times over the past few weeks and are in the process of negotiating a contract that would run through 2018.

 

The Wolves were 89-223 during Kahn's tenure which, in fairness, included key injuries to Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and Chase Budinger. But missing on high draft picks Jonny Flynn, Wes Johnson and others was always a staple of Kahn's time in the front office.

 

Love's comments to Yahoo! Sports earlier this season -- mostly savaging Kahn -- also raised several eyebrows internally.

 

Saunders posted a 411-326 record in nearly a decade as head coach of the Wolves prior to being let go in 2005, and he recently was in discussions to take over as head coach of the University of Minnesota men's basketball team -- his alma mater.

Aposto que faz uma melhor percentagem de acerto no golfe.

“I don’t even have money for a cheeseburger,” -Allen Iverson via Washington Post.

 

 

Former NBA superstar is so downfall right now. That's sad to hear. He was once one of the highest paid athletes in the NBA. He earned more than $150 million througout his NBA career. He was also considered as 1 of Kobe Bryant's rivals when it comes to skills in basketball. Read more:

 

Allen Iverson Admits To His Wife That He Couldn’t Afford A Cheeseburger

 

Allen Iverson is in bad shape. Not, bad meaning “good”, but “bad” meaning bad. According to a new piece in the Washington Post the iconic NBA baller “has hit rock bottom” and there are many people who love him, and are concerned about him.

 

Three years after Iverson’s last NBA game, the spotlight has shifted from his play to his flaws. His refusal back then to play by society’s rules was seen as an independent player’s quirks, part of the character and the brand, same as his cornrows and tattoos.

 

Practicing with hangovers added to the legend. Skipping team functions and refusing to obey the league’s dress code was a man who wouldn’t be held down. And embarrassing defenders on the way to the basket, in the NBA and before that at Georgetown, was a nightly statement by the 6-foot, 165-pound guard: If a man, no matter his size, is determined enough, he can get the better of giants.

 

But Iverson isn’t a basketball player anymore. This is something most everyone but Iverson has accepted, and for years a question worried those closest to him: What happens when the most important part of a man’s identity, the beam supporting the other unstable matter, is no longer there?

 

For the past three years, as Iverson chased an NBA comeback, his marriage fell apart and much of his fortune – he earned more than $150 million in salary alone during his career – dissolved. Now, those who once ignored past signals have recognized that basketball may have been the only thing holding Iverson’s life together.

 

“He has hit rock bottom, and he just hasn’t accepted it yet,” says former Philadelphia teammate Roshown McLeod.

 

As sad as that sounds, nothing can compare to the scene described during Iverson’s divorce trial in 2012.

 

Iverson stood during a divorce proceeding in Atlanta in 2012 and pulled out his pants pockets. “I don’t even have money for a cheeseburger,” he shouted toward his estranged wife, Tawanna, who then handed him $61.

 

To make matters worse, alcholism has been said to be a major contributor to A.I.’s spiraling struggle.

 

Tawanna testified that during a 2009 family vacation in Orlando, Iverson spent evenings with a friend while his family made plans without him. On the day they were to fly home, Iverson nursed a hangover in a van, lying on the floor with a foot draped on the seat. While their children saw a movie, Tawanna sat for hours with her husband, afraid if he was left alone the driver would take photographs.

 

Hopefully someone can reach out to Allen to help him get his life together. Despite how bad his situation is, there is a silver lining in Iverson’s playbook.

 

Basketball was Iverson’s sanctuary, and he signed huge contracts: a six-year deal in 1999 worth $70.9 million and, four years later, a new agreement worth $76.7 million. Reebok signed him to a huge endorsement deal, including a deferred trust worth more than $30 million, a lump sum he can’t touch until he turns 55.

 

It’s a LONG time to wait, but if the braided-baller can hold on just 18 more years, there just might be some hope.

 

As bad as many people feel for A.I. it appears that all his wounds are self-inflicted. Iverson’s ignorance, lack of responsibility, and a general I-don’t-give-a-fawk demeanor makes it hard to feel too bad for him. That said, Iverson was one of the greatest basketball players that most of us have ever seen grace the court, it’s a shame that won’t be the way we remember him.

Eish, Allen :(

[BrianCouto]

Fdx como possivel?

Que falta de cabecinha.

[Hodor]

Muito mau ter chegado a esse ponto, como já foi dito em cima é preciso ter muita falta de cabecinha.

[Pat Riley]

Como é que se rebenta 150 M$ mesmo com a mulher e fica com metade no divórcio (hipoteticamente)?

 

Por um lado tenho pena, por outro só está na situação que está graças a ele. Vá fazer terapia, vá tirar um cursozito qualquer de treinador ou uma m*rda assim, faça campanhas publicitárias, wtv, trabalho não lhe há de faltar. Só não sai dessa situação se quiser.

[Carson Wentz]

Isso e muitos "amigos" quando se está bem na vida...
