I don&#039;t why I&#039;m just imagining how amazing that song would be if he actually made it&#039; &quot;Wade!James!What&#039;s his name!&quot;

&quot;nd CB4? Fuck does that even stand for?
I forgot your name seconds after you walked in the door
And while I’m standing here trying to remember your name
You can say your goodbyes to your last All-Star game
You think you’re big time all of a sudden? Turtle, from where I sit
You’re a C-list baby sucking A-list tit&quot;

&quot;My name is Mikhail, and I’m here to say
I mine gold and nickel, which helps me to pay
For basketball team called New Jersey Nets
And what Prokhorov want, Prokhorov gets
So I don’t like to be made to look like a fool
Wasting my time? It’s not…how you say…cool
You anger Russian billionaire before? That I surely doubt
Because you still walking…for now. Prokhorov, out&quot;</description>

		<description>@ stunnaboy
lol @
&quot;Magic, Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Russell
The all-time alphas with the all-time hustle
Now here’s my question, and then we’ll get gone
Does it bother you that list won’t ever say ‘LeBron’?
Hell, it’d bother me, but then I’m not one to say
Cuz in hip-hop that list’s got just one name - Jay&quot;</description>

		<description>karizmatic @8 got it right about Jeff Green. 

Jeff Green is good, but he is more of a sf than a legit 4. 

As a sixth man he would be prefect for this team, but as the starting 4 he is almost always going to be overmatched. He doesn&#039;t rebound well enough.

Pau murdered him in the playoffs. He aint gonna grow 2 inches. And if he puts on 20 lbs, he will lose his quickness advantage.

If OKC really wants to be apart of the big boys, they need to go after a back to the basket 4 or 5. Maybe Cole Alrich can do it. All their bigs are either shooters, or they can&#039;t score at all.

It doesn&#039;t make sense to pay a guy a ton of cash when his best position is the same as the best player on the team. That is why PJ Carlisemo played Durant at the 2, so he could play both him and Jeff Green at the same time.</description>

		<description>Any team who gives an extension to a player who is not a max contract guy is basically shooting themselves in the foot. It is almost a given player will have to concede a little in terms of salary.

Z-Bo? Gets #s but won&#039;t get you wins. If he gets an extension, that will be the icing on the cake for their terrible summer. 

Jeff Green? Decent player, but like you said, no more than a 3rd option. So how do you guage his value? 7-8 per over 5 sounds good to me, but it aint my money. If they give him 10+, Presti must be losing his stuff. 

Melo got a max deal on the table, but he just has to sign it. He might go the LBJ route and suit up with 3 all stars. 

Afflalo, Brooks, and Brewer: Let the market decide what to pay them. The only guy who is in danger of being priced out is Brooks. He is a good pg, someone might throw major $ at that dude. 

Horford I would say do it, but if you give him 10 mil a year, ATL aint got that to spend.</description>

		<description>Actually I think Hill plays best next to Manu. That way he can guard the other teams PG and not worry about passing duties. If I&#039;m Popovic I&#039;m using all my resources to train Hill in passing. He&#039;s got everything else a PG needs: selflessness, athleticism, defense, handles and a above average jump shot. 

I honestly still see TP going to NY if they can&#039;t get Chris Paul. I don&#039;t know why but I see SA low-balling him and him just bolting to the Kicks to team with Stoudamire.</description>

		<description>I agrre with you but you can see the cup half empty or half full...
I mean, ok, Tony has a lot of mileage, but the value of a veteran (who knows how to win) is priceless for any team (contender or not)
+ Hill won&#039;t take any TP&#039;s minutes, because the way he plays the best is NEXT TO Tony!
Not as a back up PG!!!

IMO, the main pb TP will face is the next CBA and maybe lock out!</description>
