Stoudemire won't be traded to the Cavs, but this thread is still very lulzworthy.

[ralaw]

Frankly I don't think Cleveland HAS to make a trade right now... they've got a good team and once they get Mo back they will be even better.

I believe the idea behind the trade it to keep Lebron James and adding a player of Stoudemire's status would work in their favor. If you have a chance to get Stoiudemire for basically nothing of any real value to your team you have to do it. The probem with keeping the team the way it is, is what happens if the team doesn't win a championship? You'd have to make moves anyways. This team goes as LeBron goes and because of that LeBron cant afford to have an off night and part of the thought is Stoudemire could change that while taking some of the pressure of LeBron.

I realize that but I'm just saying... its not something they would HAVE to do in order to win.

That's true, but this isn't a move to simply win games, because as it is they could probably make it to the ECF. The problem is that LeBron by not committing to anything has the team by the balls, so they're scared to not make moves to improve the team long term. Also, I believe they caught word that LeBron wants Stoudemire.

You guys need to give Shaq Daddy a break.

He's saving it all for the postseason, you'll see.

 

[NAHSTE]

Prove I said any of that shit. You takl like a fuckin retard lets see some fuckin proof.

And I played JV basketball for my HS, and didnt try out the following year because I wasnt willing to spend 7 days a week running for 2 hours a day.

[Rush]

His lame attempts to copy my shtick and use ethug.txt could qualify as trolling to some people here

You didn't create ethug.txt retard.

That would be like me trying to take credit for NFL Broadcasts because I post my JTV stream here during games.

You do make money from it. I get my thanks from those ethug.txt copy/pastes. How would you like it if some schmuck offered the same shit you did for free resulting in you not making anymore money :shifty:

 

[Argath]

Haha good one I thought I was the only one who noticed that. For some reason I pictured a redneck talkin lik dis behind a computer screen when I read that:happy:

I can glady say somebody from Ohio made my day. I havent said that before. I'll be sure to stop back here in June to see whats up with this guy. I wonder what he was saying back when the Magic beat Cleveland.

that they only lossed because of the refs

Buck3ye5 is the reason a lot of Ohio State/Cleveland fans get a bad rap. Complete homerism like this doesn't bode well for people who already have to defend their stance on their favorite team. That being said, onto the trade.

Shaq has been getting better and playing better as the season has progressed, is it him fitting into a role, getting into better shape, just needed the first half to get going? That remains to be seen as the second half has yet to be played. The issue is just how durable is Shaq. You guys are mentioning all these other centers who are outplaying him, and yet he's twice their age. Of course the big man is going to have trouble keeping up.

I'm not defending Shaq's play because it has been atrocious through most of this season, but he is there for one reason and that's to occupy bigs so Z/Andy/J.J. are not getting out muscled and burnt. To think that Dwight Howard didn't have an effect during the Orlando series is asinine. All of what Orlando did centered around Dwights will to impose himself anyway he wanted down low. Cleveland failed to defend the perimeter, and failed to defend the pick and roll being preoccupied with Dwight. So they went out there and got the "plug" to their "leak" on defense.

As it stands now, I like where Cleveland is at with their roster and it'd be a shame to sacrifice this chemistry for anything less then Amare. Personally when I look at the pieces involved (Amare, Jamison, Murphy, Maggette) the only one I like is Amare followed closely by Murphy. Cleveland doesn't have to make a move now to be effective but as others have said, if you can get something big for cheap, you take the deal.

Faggot i'll answer your bullshit if you answered what I asked of you first. Prove I said that shit you claim i did.

Sit down, I didn't tell JV they could go in yet.

You never played organized basketball in your life so stfu. I didnt tell the whole story. In practice we didnt practice. We just ran. My HS is a combo of 2 towns and the other town gets all the love (for playing time). And I'm not the only player that has quit. My HS team was good until this year, and now we suck, because most of the players quit. The coaches and the system suck. My fucking rec basketball team could fuck up my HS team.

LOL, I started for a team that won Districts my senior year and advanced to state playoffs.

Again, take a seat on the bench. I didn't call for JV to check into the game yet.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

Blow me. You are probably the most unathletic kid here. Oh wait....thats faggot. And I'd be a starter this year if I wanted to be....but my HS is a joke.

You sound like a blubbering vagina.

STFU.

You sucked. You were lazy. And you quit.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

Im the best shooter in my school, hands down. But no point in arguing about this. And whats wrong with JV? OMFG I played JV as a sophomore, I guess Michael Jordan is a shitty basketball player too. Your a fuckin moron

 

[SuperKevin]

I bet if you had Varsity Basketball to add to your extracurricular activites you wouldn't have been rejected by Ohio State.
