this is good shit, remarkable how clean the cav's books are

i dont rly care abt culture argument but one reason i'd advocate for #traderondo is that i don't think he'll be very pleasant on a bad team.

bowling we talking abt bowling

imo this is the 2013-14 regular season thread title

ILH way underrating bynum and overrating rondo. i'd love for the nuggs to get bynum and would not want to see them get rondo

lagoon otm itt

*hi5*

Yeah, maybe New Orleans could sign Bynum to pair w/ similarly underrated Eric Gordon. Maybe they could get a decent deal on underrated Greg Oden for Bynum's backup, and maybe claim underrated Brandon Roy off waivers.

those terrible culture guys brandon roy and greg oden

Oden was a depressed drunk that nobody wanted to be around, or so it came out after he left town for good.

Or maybe Bynum could join really-good-at-basketball players Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins in Sacramento, no way that team doesn't do serious playoff damage.

what is the nba all-jerk starting five

kobe

kobe is kinda beyond jerk tho

yeah kobe is something different

kobe is all-monster

And if Sac has extra cap space why not try to lure JR Smith and Josh Smith, team would be loaded and would definitely not implode before the season starts.

the Raptors have 73 million committed for next year? the RAPTORS?

*types list of quality guys who when grouped together wouldnt win an nba game* god stfu

Kobe heading All Glaring in Disbelief

wow Rudy Gay gets paid a LOT

kobe is a player youd be afraid to be trapped on a boat with hall of famer

Is Rondo a jerk? I feel like Rondo is a jerk, idk. KG is a jerk. Kobe for sure. Stackhouse?

Tons of jerks / temperamental players, but if it's kind of a Players Who Terrify Teammates, seems like Kobe, Garnett and CP3 are a cut above the rest.

Although it's more fun listing an All Pout team, dudes who will go out of their way during gameplay to prove points (Kobe refusing to shoot, Rondo going for double-figure assists, etc.)

rondo is totally a jerk, kg is just like an intimidating berserker but if he approves of you he will defend you to the death apparently, not a jerk in my book

kobe is a transcendant supervillain who would disintegrate you with laser-eyes for even considering his place on a mere "jerk scale"

i feel like a lot of good point guards are kind of jerks- cp3 is definitely, deron absolutely, rondo...

Can't decide if Monta is a jerk or not

oh most definitely

though maybe im conflating "takes lots of low-percentage shots" with "is a jerk"

tbf if you do that you are basically a jerk.

there was the whole thing where he said he couldn't coexist with steph on the basketball court.

and yeah, he's a gunner whose confidence in his GS teammates fluctuated (haven't been following him on the bucks)

Melo seems like he'd be really unpleasant based on his game but idk maybe he's chill.

tbf if you do that you are basically a jerk.

heh i read this to mean if i do that (conflating) that *i* am a jerk

i mean i am a jerk but i pass the rock and set picks mang

melo is def a jerk, he fake-tried to fight kg outside over some basic trash talk, weak

KG prime time trolled him though.

kg is def not a jerk, he is an insane person. jerks are petty malcontents. melo seems more like a spoiled brat who hates not getting his way.

Where are the ILH bulls/Blackhawks fans?

Need a hockey borad

lol hockey

David West seems like a jerk, more of a look though. Same with Kendrick Perk.

there are a couple of bulls fans who post here, deej too but he doesn't post any more

they talk about hockey on ILE iirc

there's a hockey thread with an unwieldily title that I've never opened
