shaq should have retired a couple of years ago....these last few years he's just a ball of fat that occasionally dunks or rebounds...

While he probably should've retired years ago, I give him props for trying. As I suspected, his body couldn't take it anymore (lot of weight on those legs after all), but still, one of the best players to ever play the game and by far one of the most dominant in the recent era of the NBA. Shaq, it was a pleasure watching you play in the later part of your prime. What a beast.

From Chuckys twitter,

swirsk054 Shaq praised Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers--No Pat Riley


But that organization is so loyal?!?!?!

Rubio's finally coming to the NBA. Saw a thing that said that the T-Wolves are having a Rubio special and selling season tickets for $9 (Rubio is wearing #9 next season). Maybe now they'll have some fans in the seats. xD

From a Bulls standpoint...yes, but overall? Hell No!!! That was one of the more exciting Finals I have watched. One of the big issues of this past decade is that there were a lot of boring finals...

Recently announced that Dwayne Casey is the Raptors new head coach. So that's what, like, their 27th? xD

Hawks Begin Exploring Trade Of Josh Smith
Jun 21, 2011 9:52 AM EDT


The Hawks have begun exploring a trade involving Josh Smith, according to sources.

Smith, meanwhile, has privately told friends that the Celtics, Nets, Rockets and Magic are his preferred teams should Atlanta ultimately decide to trade him.

Smith has not requested a trade.

“The relationship has run its course,” said a league source with knowledge of the dynamic.

...

Smith on NJ, Boston, or Orlando would be a good addition for any of those teams.

@SamAmicoFSO Ramon Sessions at Lake Erie College for camp. Wonder if anyone told him Lakers will (or already have) contacted Cavs about he and Andy V.
@SamAmicoFSO Lakers media incorrectly reporting that teams calling Lakers about Pau Gasol. It's the other way around. No one in big hurry to help LA.
@SamAmicoFSO For all the talk, one Lakers insider says odds of team trading Pau Gasol or Lamar Odom is "about 10 percent, maybe 20."
@SamAmicoFSO If Lakers want Varejao and Sessions, the return is Gasol (maybe others), source says. More NBA notes this afternoon on FOX Sports.
@SamAmicoFSO No panic, Cavs fans. Just because Lakers might call doesn't mean Cavs have to take offer. Or even listen. Again, deal seems like long shot.
@SamAmicoFSO Lakers fans shouldn't panic either. They are just doing their "due diligence" and putting out feelers for Gasol/Odom.



they couldnt/wouldnt.......
