    Korver is washed anyway, let the Lakers get him, at this point it means one wide open shot for free for the team which plays against him.

    I was just reading about Jackson...

    - got arrested
    - tried to run away from the cops
    - he left his girlfriend to go with a 46 years old woman
    - had a child with her and he intoxicated the child smooking weed next to him

    Man, this guy needs some help.

    I don't see anything wrong with it.
    In fact now that I learned it I am more sympathetic.:D

    The opposite happens all the time, and noone bats an eye.

    To think the Suns could have had CP3 for Jackson and Warren. Instead they ended up with Ricky Rubio and lost a bunch of picks. /sarcasm

    Those are some valuable 2nd round picks, basically late first rounders.

    My first thought you beat me to it. He's an awesome catch and shoot guy off the bench. Not great on D, but very servicible in our system.

    I actually do fwiw, now i don't know how much it happens in other countries but i don't think the situation is much different, at least here in Italy there're plenty of girls who are working on TV etc because they are married and/or had childs with old farts politicians/actors/showmen etc, some of them are not only ugly as ****, but also condamned/corrupt etc, and when i saw some of these girls it makes me sick.

    But that's why i find it odd, most of the times i see a woman with a man 30 years older it's because the man in question is famous or has the money so, i just find curious that a 20 years old nba player about to be rich finds a woman who's almost 50...i mean, maybe he just fell in love with her, i guess and hope that actually happens sometimes, it's just that considering his "curriculm", it leads me to believe it's just another one of his problems lol.

    I guess you're not a fan of Berlusconi then.

    Well sometimes it happens and age is only a number.
    If Jackson has found his soulmate in a 40 y.o woman then I'm fine by it. *shrug*

    I like what the Grizzlies are doing. They're not going to be contenders for a while so they're just collecting assets and taking no risk high reward gambles on young prospects with high ceilings. Similar to what the Brooklyn Nets were doing the last few years.

    However, Morey doesn't have this 'no pressure' luxury. He has to calculate his every move very carefully to maintain a contender level team.
