oh and the bulls blew it by not having the balls to put down players for garnett, gasol, stoudemire, or marion.

that's 'cuz trading gordon & deng would have been moronic, and they would have been a part of each of those deals. unlike the celtics, they can wait while their young talent develops, 'cuz it's good enough as is, and they've got most of it locked up for a long time. in a few years, it'll be one hell of a team [sans center...then again, we made due with luc longley, bill wenington, & bill cartwright]

lol.... only said that to get Juice's panties in a twist... while his Blazers SUCK for the next 10+ years!!!

and the Bulls are retarded... if you have a shot at Amare Stoudemire, YOU TAKE IT.... IF any TEAM has a shot at him, you take it.... so the Hawks, Bulls, whoever else... all deserve to LOSE!!!

i am sure it sounds moronic, but it's all about taking risks. in the business world, taking risks is going on everyday. if you play it safe your whole way, thinking you have the right formula set for your team, you never know what you can get if you take that risk. gordon and deng are awesome i have to say, but i am sure the bulls can pull a 2 for 2 trade, like marion and bell(who i think is very underrated. he's a really good pg/sg) for gordon and deng.

didnt the bulls give up Loul Deng in his Draft for basicly nothing? lol

I think the Celtics are going to be my 3rd fav. team next year, if KG came close to a championship in THE WEST with Injured Cassel,Wally World and psycho spreewell just imagine what is going to happen next year.

The nice thing About this 3 is how they complete each other, Pierce is a great Slasher,Allen is a great shooter and Garnnet is real good at the paint and can pass really well.

There needs to be more talk here about just how amazing the Spurs are. Can you say 5th championship? Because I know Duncan has at least one more left.

lol, stfu... Spurs suck...

CELTICS are whats new BABY!!!

and...

top selling jersey in the NBA???

KEVIN GARNETT #5 Boston Celtics Jersey!!!!!!!!!


DUHHHHH

we finally have something to look foward to with the C's... and I think my next step would be dreaming of Toine coming back just to come off the bench... I can dream can't I?

although, I'm slacking, I have yet to purcahse my Moss or KG jerseys......

1. Whomever gets to the Finals from the East will get absolutely ANNIHILATED by the Western representative.

2. One injury to the big 3 superstars and the Celtics are toast. No bench. Zero, zilch, none. Pierce, Allen aren't exactly spring chickens either who both missed significant time last year.

3. Celtics have at most a 3 year life. Blazers...that's a 10-12 year life. Ainge offered the Pierce and the 5th pick for the #1 pick before th draft. That clearly demonstrates the value of my man Greg Oden. It will take a couple of years, but the Blazers will be a power just when the Spurzz, Suns, etc. are dying down.

4. No free agent has ever left Portland that was meaningful or that Paul Allen (richest owner in sports) wanted back. That's because you can sign you own free agents for greater salary. Plus, living in Portland is pretty sweet when the Blazers are doing well. Oden loves Portland and will never leave. You see, if you follow basketball you'd know how loyal, humble of a guy he is.

5. Jumping off and on a bandwagon (I hate the NBA....no wait... I love the Celtics now... no wait....) just doesn't cut it with me. Your credibility is GONE!

Oh yeah Man U will CRUSH Chelski this year. Destroy. Bludgeon.

By the way, Lamarcus Aldridge is gonna be a Superstar very very soon. That guy is a baller. He's like a not psycho RaWeed Wallace.

one big difference between last year and this year for Pierce and Allen is that their workload will be definitely decreased this year, now that they actually have legitimate teammates. As for Garnett, luckily he hasn't suffered a catastrophic injury with all that pressure he had to endure 82 games a season with crappy teammates *knocks on wood*. The guy I feel has the most chance of getting hurt out of the 3 will be Garnett, because I don't think this body doesn't know how it feels like to have legitimate teammates to help him out. lol.



and btw, we don't talk about Spurs( zzz ) basketball until San antonio goes through the Texas two step, and starts winning road games. that's around the january / february region.

damn King Ecnal is a big joke. For years he tells us the Celtics suck and he doesn't care about them and it's all about the Red Sox & Pats and now he jumps on the Celtics-bandwagon...

What a poor little child he is...

Cowboys fan since early 90's, Mavs-fan since the German Wunderking arrived, Habs fans since the 90's and Mets-Fans for years.

oh sorry, I mistook you for the guy who jumped on the Detroit Tigers bandwagon last season, and the New York Mets this season, and even had a little NY MEts fan bar in his sig....


and.......I'm from Boston.... fairweathering is FAIR game.... I grew up a Sox, C's, Bruins, and Pats fan.... but once they suck(trade ANTOINE, trade MO, Nomar, CAPTAIN Jason Allison, Bill Guerin, Samsonov, JOE THORTON) I LEAVE too, because I want a winner, and have FAITH that they will bring me back, and WHEN THEY DO(KG, Ray Allen) I COME BACK BITCH!!!!.... BIG difference.... from just picking up some team...

so clearly, you're an ass, so stfu!

Originally posted by King Ecnal so clearly, you're an ass, so stfu!

ah yes you are so much better because you only support your teams when they have success and doesn't care about them when they suck.

yeah you are definitely a real fan.


I went through all those 5-11 years of the Cowboys and all the bad years from my hometown Hamburger SV. take this New England sucker.


And I picked the NY Mets long time ago since I first saw Doug Heffernan in a Mets Shirt.

both of you stop bitching. anyways, so reggie miller wanting to be a celtic? these people dont get it. it doesnt matter what team they go, the spurs will dominate the NBA for the next couple of years. And, Brain, the Blazers are not going to do shit anytime soon. Greg Oden is no Duncan.

Agreed, but Oden will be good eventually... when he leaves the Blazers...

Yep yep the Spurs have a few years of domination left. The Celtics aren't going to do shit.

Alban called me Brain...... that's nice of him. Yikes...

I look forward to 15 years of Oden in a Blazers uniform. Lance can try to annoy me but it doesn't my man. Sorry. I simply know basketball, Oden, and the Blazers more than you so I'm not worried. Not even .000000001% that he'll leave.

aight, then... since you're the Blazers expert, let me ask you...

Because I'm STILL not understanding this... and I studied the CBA for a sports law class two years ago, so maybe its changed since then... BUT, why on earth did the Blazers give him 2 guaranteed years with 3rd and 4th as a TEAM option???

I mean... why wouldn't you give him 3 Guaranteed years... and a 4th year TEAM option? I just don't understand that, it doesn't exactly shout: "COMMITTED" from the Blazers...

maybe its just me... but shed some light on that for me juice...

and I apologize if I was wrong with the facts, but this contract is what leads me to believe that he'll be gone at the minimum of 4 years from now...

Simple. The blazers have signed all their recent contracts for 2 years with an option for the third. That includes Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake. That's because the Blazers will be 29 million under the cap in 2009, setting up the Blazers to give max contracts (or longer 6 year contracts) to their core players (+ Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge) that same year. Tom Penn, the new asst GM, was recently hired from Memphis purely on his skills as a collective bargaining guru. He's an ex lawyer.

What talented rookie in the NBA in the last 15 years has left after his first contract? Wasn't Lebron James supposed to leave Cleveland? Wasn't Carmelo supposed to leave Denver? It just doesn't happen because those teams grew up with those teams (loyalty) and can get more money (longer contract) from the original team.

Say the Blazers have Roy and Aldridge and even other upcoming players like Frye and Outlaw. They are winning and growing to be contenders. He would want to leave that? Makes no sense sorry. Greg Oden already said how Portland is a perfect city for him. And said he would love to spend the next 15 years with them. I just don't see him as the type of guy who is disloyal. He's exactly the opposite of that if you see him in the interviews. Likewise, the Blazers go berserko of getting the #1 pick, spend it on Oden, and then intend for him to leave? Right.

thanks for answering that... I just found it odd, cause I would think the standard would be 3 guaranteed years... but I'll take the Cap excuse I suppose...


ok now back to being an ASS:

I don't know why he would want to leave, but we soon will find out...lol...

then again, I don't even care about Oden or Durant anymore, because we got our STUD on the EAST coast... so they can both wither away in obscurity in the WEST for all I care...

Sorry, Brian. :]

Yeah because teams seem to wither away in the west nowadays...where 7-8 teams were better than Cleveland last year and the first 2 franchise draft picks are located. The Least conference is a junior varsity conference! Everyone knows that. Playing for the right to be swept in the Finals.

Yep, I'm sure free agents will want to go to Boston in 4 years time when Allen, Pierce, and KG are 110 years old and haven't won a damn thing. Better to jump with those old farts then it would be to rise and win multiple championships with Roy and Aldridge for a much longer window.
