Miami's got a hell of a team. In this thread, you discuss Miami and other, less good teams, and their free agent signings and trades.
For example: The Warriors got sold today to a guy that already owns part of the Celtics. How the hell is that gonna work? Also, Al Harrington signed with the Nuggets for the full MLE. Really, someone gave him five years?
More importantly, though, it's time to start recruiting for our fantasy league slow draft. What's a slow draft? Well it's a draft we do over the course of the next couple months here on the forum. All you need is a Yahoo account. If we get too many people signing up preference will be given to those who have been in the league in the past.

I'm in for the fantasy league, even though I seem to be getting progressively worse each year (1-1-4-9 in the standings the last 4 yrs)

I'm fine with the same categories as last year, though I wouldn't be opposed to adding an additional category. On one hand the current cats are balanced between guards and big men, on the other having 5-5 ties is annoying.
Fine with the same roster setup as last year, down for either an online draft or in-forum draft.
As for real-life, Scola re-signed with the Rockets for 5 years, $47 million - a terrific bargain in this year's market.

Love the Scola contract for the Rockets, they probably overpaid for [strike]Mike[/strike] Kyle Lowry but I'm a big fan of his anyways.
Harrington probably deserves his contract but he doesn't make sense on the Nuggets. Then again, who does?
So ... Kevin Pritchard seems to be the frontrunner for the Hornets job. Normally I'd jump up and down with joy, but I read a few not so nice things about him. His ouster in Portland seemed to be at least in part his fault, he allegedly was trying to get more credit for building that team then he got ... if I remember correctly.
Anybody got any inside into that?

If any of this is true, I am not so sure it will be a great hire.
TAIWANESE PRIDE, BITCHES!
Seriously though, he looks pretty good in those summer league highlights. I'm sure the creater of that video cut out all the parts where Lin ended up looking silly, but I always thought he had a nice, rounded skill set that made for solid bench depth for a decent team down the road.
Turns out this is pretty stupid.
This guy's mother bullied this woman into give the pendant to her. Whether or not Carter set this up is unknown, but at the least the mother should be charged with unlawful imprisonment.
Nate Robinson staying with Boston.
Mid-season Nash trade, though? He can't be too happy with the way the Suns have gone.
They have depth, they need a premier wing. Carter was supposed to be it, but he and Rashard stunk it up last playoffs.
Also, Ronnie Brewer to Bulls, 3 years, $12.5 million

And Amar'e thanks the people of Phoenix for supporting him throughout his career.

Hopefully there's more highlights to come, and maybe? a contract. If so, a jersey will definitely be in order.
He's going to sell that stake.
i would imagine losing is pretty unpleasant
I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.
Wade just stuck his foot in his mouth.

Apparently Wade is not very intelligent.

ahh the journalism

Wow. What a misquote. At least they corrected it, so I can forgive them. My respect for Wade almost went down a little, but it went up instead. I remember Garnett saying something like 'this series is gonna be a war, we're gonna be our guns, our grenade launchers' etc. and got in some trouble for it.
Not much of a misquote, he still makes the same comparison just in the sentence after.
