Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

tayshaun sucks so bad man he is useless

Perkins is bad too

tru

I guess there's really nothing that Prince could do that like Jeremy Lamb can't do just as badly.

would rather have perk tbf, offers ok one on one d for a few minutes a game. tay tay is just flat toast and still gets left open so he shoots and shouldn't

I liked the idea of Perk getting exiled back to the Celtics I guess

poor perk

only a celtics fan would feel sorry for that man

ha cmon he is a sad man

i like it danny should trade for perk and let him retire a celtic (and also magically turn into cap space)

look who is bringing back his best column and probably even before the trade deadline this year

lol its got its own bespoke page

I fell down the Trade Machine hole. :(

Reggie Jackson for Garrett Temple and Drew Gooden?

lol

Not good huh

aw there's not even a column up yet

graphics for the previous years really shdve featured the top finishers instead of just any three players

What about Perkins + 2nd for KG?

wld love to see kg get a few mins a night/freak out on the bench for a contender

kobe claims he's played through rotator cuff tears before fwiw

rip was really enjoying this kobe season

inevitable lakers crash-n-burn would be less thrilling w/o kobe's inimitable presence

i hope either the lakers or the knicks really gets fucked over in the lottery

kobe played through an amputated leg iirc

KOBE BEAN BRYANT, 1978-2015. "He came, he shot, he conquered, he RINGZZZZZed...then it got weird."

xxp there's a chance the lakers aren't quite bad enough to keep that top-5 pick

What about Perkins + 2nd for KG?

KG is not good and the thunder don't need a big

kobe being hurt is so lame because now his stans can just chalk his struggles up to injury rather than his being cooked

otm

tbf kobe said he played through a labrum tear

pretty sure he'll play through this one for no reason other than to soothe the voices in his head

in other slightly less depressing news https://twitter.com/baxterholmes/status/543643979628036096

KG is not good and the thunder don't need a big

Assuming they got rid of Perk, would you move Ibaka to center or something? Adams can barely log 20 minutes most games, let alone 48.

still got collison

This guy?

http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/1978/nick-collison

collison will regress toward the mean, adams is a serviceable player, and yes play ibaka at the 5

Are we moving Durant to the 4?

durant at 4 as much as possible imo, obvs not a great defensive matchup sometimes tho

coming levels heartbroken about Kobe's shoulder unless he plays through it in which case I'm thrilled

*completely

he very well might!

lmao

“There’s an element in the basketball culture, especially in the NBA, that looks at clean-cut guys like myself and assumes what we can or can’t do and that followed me throughout my NBA career,” Alexander said. “I became sick of it, so I looked around the league to guys who had similar games as me and that at one point in their lives were clean-cut such as Mike Miller and the ‘Birdman’ (Chris Andersen). [I realized] those players had long hair, tattoos, things like that.”

While a member of the Texas Legends, Alexander wanted to send a message so he grew his hair long, just like Miller’s. His campaign in the D-League was a success as he averaged 20.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per contest, earning a spot at the All-Star game. He then got an arm-length tattoo, just like Andersen’s, which consisted of three things that symbolize him most: a basketball (to represent his love and passion for the game), wings (for his incredible athleticism and hops) and a skeleton (to exhibit his inner-demons that battle his clean-cut image).
