Between last offseason and this one so far, Dallas probably won't be a title contender anytime soon or at least provide Dirk with the help he needs like during their title season.
Clippers drop their interest in Ray Allen and instead resign Chancey Billups while signing Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul did lobby for Allen but the Clips declined at the last moment. Speaking of Ray Allen, ESPN is saying its now between Miami and Boston for his sweepstakes with everyone else beginning to drop or not doing enough to sway him. Miami can only offer him $3 million but with the promise of being their 6th man and a chance at a ring while Boston can easily double his salary and make the same claims. Boston also has the benefit of Ray's mom stating before she really loves the area and would like to stay. Magic resigned Jameer Nelson but wasn't revealed the amount or years in the new deal. |

Maybe if you added something of value to this thread instead of just whining about the things you see on ESPN I wouldn't have to.

Well maybe if the NBA would stop trying to be the WWE, I wouldn't bitch so much.

Champions since 1999:
'99: Spurs def. Knicks '00-'02: Lakers def. Pacers, Sixers, & Nets '03: Spurs def. Nets '04: Pistons def. Lakers '05: Spurs def. Pistons '06: Heat def. Mavericks '07: Spurs def. Cavs '08: Celtics def. Lakers '09-'10 Lakers def. Magic & Celtics '11: Mavs def. Heat '12: Heat def. Thunder So... Lakers 5 titles in 7 appearances Spurs 4 in 4 appearances Heat 2 in 3 appearances Mavs, Pistons, and Celtics 1 in 2 appearances each 6 teams accounting for the last 14 championships 2 of which account for 9 of them. I think it's time for a change. Take a break from dynasties. |

Kidd to the Knicks, eh. I'll be shocked if he plays all 3 years of the deal.

so you mean it's like most sports, where a few teams, usually "powerhouses" or big markets etc, tend to do well over a certain period of time with some dropping in and out

god I wish it really was, Lebron gets the ball down by a point with seconds left in the NBA Finals, David Stern run in with a steel chair and lays him out

Thunder grabbed Hasheem Thabeet. If he can become the monster he was in UConn, OKC can give the Lakers a run for their money, maybe get them the championship they missed out on this season.

Steve Nash as a Laker takes his jersey off to reveal a Knicks jersey and throws a game winning assist to Melo before walking away gurning at the fans

no CSL, when it comes to that, I am starting to subscribe to the theory that the NBA is fixing games for large market teams to get more money and television ratings

I agree with Owen. It's Denver's turn at the top.

Actually Denver was key to the whole WWE deal a couple of years ago so as the cornerstone of this theory they deserve a title.

Stan Kroenke beats David Stern to take control of the NBA when Kevin Durant runs in and turns heel, shocking the world and becoming his top star. the Nugget World Order forms and they dominate for the next 5 years. ratings ratings ratings

no I think they need new refs and or a new commisioner that isn't crooked. I am tired of the big 4 leagues being too much about money and television ratings and should be a little bit more about the fans that pay to see these overpaid athletes and overpaid referees who don't wanna see the bullshit we saw in this years playoffs.

Also, I stand by my thoughts on flopping that players who do and get caught should automatically be ejected and face suspension and fines

Hope Lin signs with the Rockets just to make the Knicks look pathetic in not being able to sign anyone they want. While the Yankees sign whomever they want.

Does the Kidd signing mean they're still going after Lin ??
