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

So the guy with no knees is going to play in one of the coldest places in the US next winter.. sounds like a great plan

[Cail]

Restricted free agent Nicolas Batum has agreed to terms on an offer sheet with the Timberwolves and is hoping the Portland Trail Blazers either do not match the offer or execute a sign-and-trade to get him to Minnesota, Batum's agent told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

wow...was not expecting to see this

[Rhinox]

Heavensent is cutting himself right now.

[Heavencloud]

Exploding knees for 5.2m a year and 45m for Mr. Inconsistent (though I think we'll match), not bad. Wish B roy the best, still one of my fave players of all time.

[kisada]

don't see batum not being matched.

sounds like ray allen to the heat

Taking his talents to South Beach...hopefully they collapse like the 03'-04' Lakers did when they had Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton.

[Andalusian girls]

they won a title with half a Bosh and Wade on one knee, Allen over Mike Miller won't make them collapse

The point is them loading up on "super stars" like the Lakers did back then and they were expected to win the title and they collapsed in the playoffs. They are already a favorite to repeat but lets see how they do with a full season instead of 4/5ths of one. I don't see them repeating. I think a lot of people really want to see Nash get a ring despite being a Laker now lol.

<3 nash

[kisada]

nash might be my favorite player in the league but the last thing i want to see is the lakers winning a championship.

also i gotta say it's absurd to think that the heat won't repeat because it'll be a full season.

[Iono]

nash might be my favorite player in the league but the last thing i want to see is the lakers winning a championship.

I normally would agree with this statement, but Lakers are kinda the lesser evil ;x And I do love me some Nash.
