2012 NBA Draft/Off-Season Thread: Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

If dwight goes to the Lakers, they should just get rid of the magic franchise.

[Cleverness]

If he goes to the Lakers and they win a ring, the owner should just commit ritual seppuku on live television as they hand the Lakers the trophy. Because if he doesn't kill himself, what's left of the Magic fanbase certainly will. But I'd be surprised if he went and stayed unless Kobe talks to him.

In other news, the Dream Team book by Jack McCallum just came out recently. It's a great read. Here's an excerpt I found amusing.

On the way home, I drove the rental car, Drexler beside me, Barkley and Hubbard in the back. I felt compelled to challenge the mountain passes like a thief fleeing from a heist because, well, when in the Riviera ... We later discovered that it was on that road in 1982 that Princess Grace had suffered a stroke, which caused her to crash her Rover P6. She died from injuries the next day at Monaco Hospital.

"At the top of the mountain, the four of us were talking/arguing but in between educating/correcting us all on every subject, Barkley noticed that you were driving faster and the curves on the mountain were getting sharper," remembers Hubbard.

"'Damn, Jack, slow down!' Barkley yelled. 'You're gonna get us all killed. Nobody will give a shit about you, but the NBA's gonna be pissed!'"

According to Hubbard's memory, I continued at the same pace, and a nervous Drexler actually raised his voice and implored me to slow down. He couldn't be heard, however, because Barkley was screaming louder and threatening me with bodily harm. "Charles, the guy behind me is on my ass," I said. "I can't slow down. He'll hit me."

As we got closer to the bottom of the mountain, we began ruminating about the headlines that would ensue from a fatal crash.

"'Barkley, Drexler, Two Others Die in Monte Carlo!'" Hubbard suggested.

"They'll probably just make it 'Two Dream Teamers Killed in Crash' and leave us out entirely," I said.

"Shit, they won't even care about Clyde," Barkley offered. "'Charles Barkley Dead! That's what it would say."

"That is cold, Charles," Drexler said.

lol so if you brake when driving the person behind you always keeps the same speed?

Collison had the highest PER on the team for the entire playoff run O.o

Kinda easy to have a high per when you only play 18 mins a game.


But in vintage mow fashion now that he's on the mavs he's a top 5 pg.

[Dimmauk]

Mavs new PG got beat out by the Spurs back up PG. LOL

Nah. All I care about is he has an expiring contract.

Griffin might have torn his ACL at Team USA practice today, right after signing that 95mil contract.

LOL why? Who y'all getting?

Who knows what will come up? Can't make a move if you don't have the space though.

Rebuilding through the draft isn't possible until Dirk retires.

[Cail]

as of now, dwight+cp3 are FA's in 2013, dunno who else.

[Cail]

[Man0warr]

as of now, dwight+cp3 are FA's in 2013, dunno who else.

Right, plus when teams start to realize the implications of the new salary cap and luxury tax rules you might have some unexpected big contracts being moved.

[Dimmauk]

Spurs are also playing the waiting game till Durant is a FA.

[Kaslo]

So we are basically gonna trade/cut our whole roster just to get DH12 and some over priced rejects. Personally Id rather have bynum and give up less.

[Man0warr]

Houston is basically gonna be Orlando South West now, why would Dwight re-sign there with the same players around him he's had in Flordia??
