If AI goes to Memphis does Rudy Gay commit suicide?

 

[LC AAU]

Iverson in Miami.. uhm, not sure what to say about that.

If Memphis adds Ivo, we are desperately trying to sell tickets lol (which I guess we need to be doing haha).

Fuck this is weird. Me and my friend were talking about this just a couple of hours ago.

 

[Sean]

go to the Bobcats AI, they aint got much there, and i'm sure Jordan would love to let you have the ball in your hands, unless he wants to just end his career in Phily, which he should do, play some more with the other AI

 

[The Messenger]

Iverson is a great fit in Miami (much sarcasm intended). Would kill the Heat.

Memphis? He showed everybody in Detroit he cant play the point. If im the Grizzlies, I dont care about tickets. Id rather have no attendance opposed to Gay, Mayo, Gasol, and Thabeet wanting to commit sucicide because Iverson wont pass the ball to them.

But if Memphis is trying to seriously stunt Mayo and Gays growth, Iverson is their man.

Iverson is going to have to go to a team where he will come off the bench because the offense needs to revolve around him in order for him to be a positive addition.

Iverson wouldn't start at PG in Memphis either way. He would come off the bench if we did sign him. He most likely wouldn't see much game time with Rudy and Mayo either. Gasol and Thabeet's offense is null either way.

I'd love to see AI and Z-Bo wrestle for the ball at halfcourt. Would definitely up attendance lolz. (last sentence is a joke of course)

Why is re-signing Josh McRoberts a big priority for Bird? Seriously has anybody stopped and told him that its Josh McRoberts

Celtics coach Doc Rivers will meet with Grant Hill in Orlando on Sunday to discuss reuniting in Boston.

Hill and Rivers spent four seasons together with the Magic, but the time was marred by the forward's injury woes.

Rivers believes that Hill could help push the Celtics past the Cavaliers and Magic in the playoffs, while Hill is intrigued by the possibility to joining Boston.

"I don't know what's going to happen now," Hill said Saturday night. "It's too early to say."

Hill is also scheduled to travel to New York on Monday morning to meet with the Knicks.

Suns general manager Steve Kerr traveled to Orlando this past Wednesday to discuss a return to Phoenix with Hill.

Half the fun of FA is seeing where guys fit in with the systems. And to spark a little conversation where do you think Grant Hill would fit in Boston?

Obviously in his twilight Boston wouldn't do themselves any favors in the youth department with the addition of Hill. I still believe this guy plays decent enough defense to take on those mid-tier/bottom-tier teams in the East. He can spark offense from time to time and he still has enough flash left in the pan, to make a good cut to the basket.

I think Boston on the offensive end would get good ball movement, and would be able to stretch the floor even more. I don't know the cap situation but if possible, adding Sheed and Hill IMO would be the answer to the Cavalier's and Magic's additions.

Hill wouldn't get too many minutes because he wouldn't fit very well alongside Pierce, so would solely be his backup, but he can still be productive and will sign for the vet's minimum.

San Antonio loves their Euro-league finds.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I am actually really excited to see him play, hope he gets some PT.

He was amazing in ACB this season

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

He was the 2002 lottery pick for the Bucks, was waived and out of the NBA a few years later, played in Turkey and dominated, played in the ACB and did great, played in Euroleague and did pretty good.

I've posted his highlights several times on here lol, I won't this time

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

Fuck no, he will play garbage minutes, but it's still nice to see him come back to the NBA after so many years.

He is an amazing dunker and good shot blocker, decent rebounder. I'd compare him to Hakim Warrick
