Future Dallas starting 5...
1. Marquis (6"5?)
2. Dirk (7"0)
3. Shawn Bradley (7"6)
4. Pavel Podzkoline (7"5)
5. Shaq (7"1)

worse starting 5 ever.

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

they could score almost every time and it would be impossible to drive in

3. Shawn Bradley (7"6)

ahahhahaha

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

pfft sif he couldnt mark Lamar Odom

 

[copious]

i use to have a clip of the top 10 dunks over Shawn Bradley, man that was funny. i'll try look for it.

 

[reno2004]

Shawn Bradley sucks. He cant do anythin., except maybe rebound and i doubt he can even do that well enough for his height

 

[Hotsauce]

Shawn Bradley... the funniest was when Skip got that buzzer beater in his face earlier in the season in Miami.

 

[reno2004]

Apparently Shaq is off to Miami. That would be an interesting move. I think Lakers are getting Odom, Butler and Grant in return. Shaq takes up sooo much salary cap room, i think it is somethin like $27mill next year.
Anyone been following the summer leagues?

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

this is the trade:

Miami get:
Shaq

LA get:
Butler
Grant
Odom
Future Draft Pick

other possible trades:

Indiana get:
Stephen Jackson

Atlanta get:
Al Harrington

 

[Hotsauce]

Well the above trade is now official as of today.

Also interesting, Kenyon Martin could possibly sign with the Denver Nuggets as soon as Friday - with the Nuggets send 3 first round picks to the Nets. If this would happen the Nuggets would have a pretty formidable frontcourt if all were to stay healthy:

C - Marcus Camby/Nene
PF - Kenyon Martin
SF - Carmelo Anthony

Man what are Lakers thinking, the players lakers got from miami (odom,grant,butler) are worth no where near the value of shaq,even at the stage of his career he is at now. The lakers reign is screwed, even if they do sign Kobe.

Grant , odom, butler,bryant , payton ... a championship winning team? i dont think so.

 

[reno2004]

they need a better center. grant will do shit all, against the likes of Yao and Brad Miller, etc. Payton will be able to do more now, unless Kobe decides to hog the ball heaps, even more than last year (by the way, Kobe has officially re-signed with the lakers). Butler and Odom are young so maybe they will get better. But in general the Lakers are gonna be worse off. Yes!! . No more Lakers domination of the West, gives Garnett a chance to win a championship.

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

Denver has signed Kenyon Martin
Trade:
Denver get: Kenyon Martin
New Jersey get: Three future first round picks

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

Derek Fisher has signed with Golden State and Kobe and Payton are still with LA
Ginobli, brent barry and bruce bowen are all with the spurs

 

[copious]

i dont see how the nets are gonna win a championship without martin, well not this year at least. Kidd will probaly leave unless theysign someone decent , i dont think jefferson is upto the task as yet.

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

na jew jersey are rebuilding, kidd wil leave soon and they will build around jefferson

here are my conferance 1-6 predictions:

East:
1. Detroit
2. Miami
3. Indiana
4. NJ (unfortunately
5. NY
6. New Orleans

West:
1. Minnesota
2. Spurs
3. Denver
4. Dallas
5. Sacramento
6. Lakers (and thats a stretch)

 

[big_ticket]

You forget that with the Charlotte Bobcats into the NBA now, the NBA has re-aligned all the teams into different zones/regions, which would cause New Orleans to go to the West, where they will get absolutely dominated, coming from the East.

 

[reno2004]

The NBA has re-aligned all the teams to create 3 divisions in each conference.

The East is now:
Atlantic - Boston, NJ, NY, 76ers, and Toronto
Central - Chicago, Cleveland, Indiana, Detroit and Milwaukee
Southeast - Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington and Miami

And West is now:
Southwest - Dallas, Houston, Memphis, San Antonio and New Orleans
Northwest - Denver, Minnesota, Portland, Seattle and Utah
Pacific - Golden State, LA Clippers, LA Lakers, Phoenix and Sacramento

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

oh yer woops
