When you gonna' show Hansbrough's black ass?

 

[Primetime]

I'd rather just see his face. I think they fixed the glitch where his shorts would fall off last year.

Nah, it's still there just gotta turn the stick the right way.

Tough loss to Toronto mike, I can't decide which one I like more, your NBA Chise or your MLB Chise. Keep em both up!

Old Friends Proposing Ridiculous Trade Offers

Indiana Pacers GM Larry Bird and Minnesota Timberwolves GM Kevin Mchale were two important pieces to the Celtics teams that dominated the NBA in the early to mid 80's.

Sources close to the Pacers have told us that Mchale tried to pull a quick one on bird, offering Ryan Gomes and Craig Smith in a possible trade for Brandon Rush.

The offer was quickly shot down by Bird. "Kevin's an old buddy of mine, definitely," explained Bird. "But he knew I wasn't going to go for that. The cap space we could've gained with those Ryan and Craig coming was something to consider, but Brandon is coming along far too well to let him go."

Perhaps Mchale thought his relationship with Bird would've allowed him leverage in this trade. Similar to the heist Suns GM Steve Kerr pulled off against former teamate and current Bobcats GM, Michael Jordan last year; where he was able to acquire Jason Richardson for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell. (Kerr went on to win GM of the year and the Suns won the championship.)​

Pfft, they are a much better team now. Ty Lawson and James Harden played well for them. Bosh took over in the 4th.

Hans Carl Mandel showing his range.

wat

How could you let Leon Powe own you like that? tsk tsk.

No idea. He was pulling down boards, hitting shots.

not gonna lie, torontos lineup looks dirty 1-5. tough loss though

Yeah, I love seeing how teams have changed and improved. Toronto has a better chance of making the playoffs this year. They have a young talented team.

Good start to the season, although the loss to the Raps set ya back.

Thanks bud.

 

[Justo]

wow, that is a bad trade

he didnt go through with it in case you didnt know

 

[mfbmike]

wow, that is a bad trade

exactly why I didn't accept it lol. They did propose it to me though. I'm a fan of gomes though and actually did consider it but Rush is solid. No point.

Trades:

<=====>

The Miami Heat continue to bolster their force as they managed to swing a deal acquiring Luis Scola from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Dorell Wright. The Heat now find themselves with a logjam at the 4 with Udonis Haslem apparently getting the short end of the stick. Haslem could find himself in another jersey before the trade deadline hits this season.

- Bucks' Skiles on coaching hot seat
- Thunder continue to openly shop Stephon Marbury
- Rockets blow out Jazz 100-82
- Baron's heroics leads Clippers to 101-100 win over Cavs​

 

[mfbmike]

Good thing you didn't go through with that trade. Smith is useless for me (or was :tongue, too small for a good PF. Gomes is good, but I'd much rather Rush.

lol yeah, I've always hated undersized power forwards.

Lol, I just noticed you only have 3 original Pacers on your team.

Craziness.

Yeah, this team definitely needed a facelift. :lulz:

And the Rockets got fucking rocked in that trade. Good god.

 

[mfbmike]

Yeah, thankfully they didn't do that one in this chise. Season 2 though, who knows what wacky trades could happen? lol.
