Cha! Cha! 628 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 These two tweets showed up right after each other for me: @netw3rk "Andrei, 3.1 million, you sign with Nets." "Mr. Prokhorov, it's not enough." "I'll put your children on the line so they can convince you." @basquiatball Asked about his new contract Kirilenko responded, "Just glad family okay" Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 it does seem a bit fishy Ken Berger @KBergCBS 1h Kirilenko's total cost to the Nets this season, including luxury tax, will be approximately $15M. Prokhorov going all in. and that doesn't include the gold coins Link to post Share on other sites

Cha! Cha! 628 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Guys! Guys! Breaking news! The Lakers would be interested in Lebron next year! Sources say! I really hope the Lakers have a back-up plan. I feel like they should be targeting the up and coming superstars (like Kyrie, for example) rather than guys like Lebron and Melo. I mean, sure, it would be great to throw a lineup of Nash/Kobe/Melo/Lebron/Pau out there, but let's look at other possibilities too. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The problem with aiming for Lebron is: If the Heat win again, there is zero chance he leaves. If he doesn't go for the four-peat, he will be crucified for it. I had always figured he was more likely to opt out and leave than not.....but now Id guess its 70/30 he stays Link to post Share on other sites

YonYonson 156 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If wade were go get hurt, and Lebron were To leave, he'd head to Houston. He could slide right in and they'd be unstoppable. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Enjoy DJ Augustin, Bob. I'm hoping he ends up as the starter. Losses are the new wins this season. Wiggins said in an interview today that if he had the choice he would play at home for the Raptors Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Wiggins to the Raptors would be amazing, I think. A great Toronto team would be so good for the NBA, there really hasn't been any buzz for that team since, I dunno, Vinsanity? Link to post Share on other sites

A great Toronto team would be so good for the NBA, there really hasn't been any buzz for that team since, I dunno, Vinsanity? 06/07 they led a very weak Atlantic Division in the regular season but yah not a lot of league wide buzz since the Vinsanity days. The average attendance is still over 18,000 and the team is in the top 10 in the league in revenue even with the bad teams. I was at a game in January for example against Portland on a Wed night and there was over 18,000 at the game and Toronto crowds are great. Basketball is booming in Canada at the grass roots level. More kids are playing basketball now in Canada than hockey since it's so much less expensive to play plus changing demographics in the big cities. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ta-players.html It isn't a fluke that so many top NBA picks are coming from the Toronto area now. Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett and Wiggins all from the Toronto area plus other NBA players and future NBA players in the pipeline. You should expect that Canada will be a threat in the future to be the main challenger to the US at the Olympics. Link to post Share on other sites
