it's cause all the teams trying to tank gave all their current good assets to the teams too good to tank, so the league will be relatively top-heavy this year.

So who will be that 8th seed in the west? I'm going with Pelicans, though TWolves look good too (to be fair, they looked good last year, but we all know what happened).

Howard is such a cock... And people thought LeBron was a drama queen with the decision.

Actually, the reason why everyone was reporting 50/50 was because he was calling all the franchises to tell them no. The reason he flew back to LA was to tell Kupchak personally that he wouldn't be re-signing with the Lakers. Far from being a dick, I thought that was a pretty classy move.


agreed. howard got smashed by media's "sources say" game. it appears he absolutely made up his mind during his country escape and did the right thing by telling kupchak in person.

media thought his flight back to LA and meet the lakers because he changed his mind was bit weird, especially they assumed it was driven by this $30M...it's not like dwight all of sudden remembered lakers can offer that on his flight over...meh. glad it's over. lets see how we round out the roster

#InMoreyWeTrust


Barnes will still be playing a lot of time even if he isn't starting though. Dubs need to pick up a back-up big now Biedrens is gone and Ezeli injured. A shame to lose Landry and Jack but Green and Iggy will more than adequately cover their production.

Lol, remember this: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/story/2011-12-08/Tyson-Chandler-draws-interest-from-Warriors-Knicks/51745368/1

NBA stops Laker deal for Chris Paul


Lakers could have been sitting on a Kobe/Howard/CP3 core.

Two years later and they're still riding Kobe/Pau to the grave. Brilliant.

Still not sold on this Houston squad. They weren't really great last year, even though they had some pretty damn good starters. Asik, Harden, Parsons.. Now you're removing Asik and just replacing him with Howard. Not sure if we can expect them to jump from 8th to even something like 4th. If they want to be a serious contender then Harden HAS to get better. They won't be a contender next year, but I think if they flesh out their bench the year after then they might be able to make a real push.


Swapping Asik for Howard is what, a minor upgrade to you? People really hating on Dwight these days...

Also the rockets were the youngest team in the NBA last year and they are still one of the youngest. Every single player in the team has great upside.

I don't see why a team wont sign Iverson to a one year contract. I bet he could still play better than 60% of players in the league right now. We all know he doesn't need practice.

He's not willing to take the responsibility of being a role player. Which ever team he goes on, he wants to be the star player. That's why teams don't want this guy (too much pride). But I agree 100% that he's still better than most people playing today.

losing Asik would hurt though. Even getting Ryan Anderson back wont solve their defensive issues. Elite wing players have always torn Dwight's teams apart and it wont be any different this year without help. This isn't a problem with Dwight himself. just the nature of the modern league.

I was wrong about Detroit Jibba. Smith headed there on 4 year deal.

Smith would have been great as a 3rd option for the Rockets for ~$10-12 million, but as a max deal player with no other stars around him, he is the type of contract that dooms your team to being mediocre at best.

Not exactly. Drummond looks like a stud, and Monroe is very good. They'll suck at shooting free throws and their offense will be lol because of their guards but defensively they should be very good.

Liking the look of the Rockets this year. Harden and Howard are great, Parsons is pretty good and and well I'm a fan of JLin as well. Young team, lots of potential.

Still, the same can still be said for OKC.

I always wondered why no one considered Parsons for 6th man of the year last season.

Didn't he usually start? Could be completely wrong but I don't remember him coming off the bench that often, if at all.

Also just realized Jim Parsons sent a video to Dwight Howard asking him to come to Houston lol

Oh man. Joey D knew he had contracts coming off the books. Clearly could not trust himself with the cap space.
