    It's almost hilarious, this whole Golden state thing was started by one guy with no sources any more and it has its own zip code already.

    Golden state died, but only started again when they realised the lakers were eliminated

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Woj hasn't reported on it (yet) so that's good news I guess? Ha.

    You do understand that is by the end of the year right? Any team running under the cap will just pick up bits and pieces during the year and then sign some moop at the end if they have to. They can make millions by taking douches like Royce White.

    Have you ever looked at the salary of a team near the end of the year that's trying to go for the minimum? you'll see something like half a dozen or more little contracts that were then waived, basically a collection of little contracts they're paid to take and random players they try out.

    It has to be good news. He doesn't report it if its BS.

    This is quite obviously BS.

    If Dwight doesn't decide today, then personally I would think its almost certain he's going to the warriors, and is just waiting on a S&T

    I don't think he'll decide by today. Or, if he does decide, I don't think he'll clue us in on it today.

    The 8th. That's when I predict the world will know.

    How do you know who had that better pitch? Were you in the different meetings with Howard and these 4 teams? Are you close friends with Howard or someone that's close to Howard?

    I respect Mark Jackson and internet tough guys like you a lot. I really admire how he elevated Pippen's game in 1998 and was the subject matter in a trophy being made featuring him and Tom Chambers. What a guy! I hope that a Rockets edition Dwight Howard gets a Steph Curry trophy like that one! I really love how "Mcfail" was a key member on one of the greatest teams that ever played, but I guess it wasn't as great as those Mark Jackson-led championship teams, right? Wow. You're so insightful and intelligent! I bet Dwight would like to make you one of his baby mamas.

    Maybe you failed reading comprehension classes. You make it seem like giving away KMart, Lamb, and a 1st was gutting the team. They weren't. Maybe if you weren't a dumbass ****ing Lin only fan you'd realize the state of the Rockets at the time. Comparing this to the Harden trade is stupid. Barnes is still a crucial part of GS.

    I can't stand these ******* Jul 2012 LOFs.

    I was thinking this too, but then I thought about how he would not be able to travel through half of california without hearing boos and ridicule by the backlash of Laker fans in the surrounding area. Talk about pressure and unwanted scrutiny, if he is gonna bail it has to be another state I think.

    There's no penalty for being under. If a team is under the min payroll after a particular point in the year all their players get a raise for that season only to boost it to that amount.

    Just seems like GS is scrambling to prepare for Dwight to choose them, just like all the other teams have done. Not much else to it.

    I dont think he is a LOF, first he didn't even mention Lin in your quote, and given the this quote from him earlier:

    "It's Bogut plus either Barnes OR Thompson plus expiring contract of Biedrins and/or Richard Jefferson or some other twerp, dumbos.

    Playing with All-Universe Steph Curry with EITHER Thompson or Barnes and both Lee or Landry and having a Mark Jackson as a coach is definitely a better deal than playing with iso- Harden and possibly immature Smoove with Chandler 'Justin Bieber' Parsons.

    GSW will need to be creative to keep Jarret Jack.

    You idiots are clueless as to how the GSW are real players in the Dwight stakes, the only real way the Lakers can get something and not end up with squat.

    GSW was the better play off team. Rockets can't compete with those guys. Even with Lee out they played legit! Steph is legit top PG in this league. Harden? I'm not so sure he's top SG, still a ways to go, especially in crunch time. Curry with Dwight gonna be incredible. Lin? Blah! not good enough obviously.

    What are the Rockets braggin about, how many playoff games did they win, did they move to another round?

    Booger brains for posters in the GARM."


    He is clearly not a LOF but a troll who hates the Rocket players, Rocket coach, and Rocket management. And he obviously hates the Rocket fans and think we are idiots

    This guy is such a clown, can we ban this scrub already? Clearly not a Houston fan if saying "your team, your coach" doesn't imply this enough. :eek:


    @Ultramagnus is simply a GSW fan that liked Lin in the beginning, joining the BBS in July, and now has gone a-wall, bashing The Rockets organization and Kevin McHale all day every day.. Once Kobe and Dwade are gone, name a better SG in the league, I dare you.

    He is a LOF. One that wants to see Lin get traded to another team and one that hates the Rockets for "mistreating" him.

    You are Probably the most ignorant person ive seen on CF. IM a rookie but ive been following this site since 07 and this is just a post of negativity. Dont you think after they loose all those pieces to get Howard they might not be as good? I mean thompson was a power house and Barnes was really consistent. On top of that, they will still be over the cap and no room to add pieces. The rockets have the most flexibility with better players to back it up. And the point about harden not being a top sg? really tell me who is better and is only 23.

    Sad to see Lin, a humble hard workin guy, gets his reputation plagued by annoying fans.

    Without going off track, does anyone know what time today is Howard suppose to finalize his decision?

    Man this coming season is going to be hella good basketbalLz!
