Stern defends, criticizes LeBron; Suns pull off major trade
Photo. Ryan Hurst (@NBA_Photos)
The Commish has spoken, and the Cavs felt it in their pockets. While the NBA’s owners met in Las Vegas yesterday — with one reported topic being the accusations of collusion among LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat — Stern was interviewed about the LeBron decision and fallout. Though he defended LeBron’s right to pick whichever team he wanted, “ill-conceived” was Stern’s word for LeBron’s big TV announcement. Stern also fined Dan Gilbert and the Cavs $100,000 for Gilbert’s attack on LeBron. “He was completely correct in expressing his disappointment,” Stern said, but also called Gilbert’s reaction “a little bit extreme,” “ill-advised” and “imprudent” … The Heat officially added two more pieces to the puzzle, agreeing to a deal with Mike Miller and re-upping with Udonis Haslem on a contract that should be significantly less than the $5.7 million mid-level exception Haslem turned down from the Nuggets and Mavs. Makes sense. Haslem has been in Florida most of his life, he’s comfortable and gets captain-level respect within the Heat organization, and it’s not like his chances of getting another ring go down by staying home … When LeBron posts on Twitter, it’s like Willy Wonka coming out of his house. It’s rare and probably not anything important, but everybody is still talking about it. ‘Bron tweeted shout-outs to Haslem and Miller yesterday, but while well-intentioned, his “congrats” could come off a little wrong. It’s like the hot-shot young lawyer at the firm acting genuinely happy for the old-school mail room guy. Even if it’s totally innocent, it might sound like “Congrats on making 4% of what I make!” … Speaking of vets taking less money for a shot at a ring, Derek Fisher is coming back to the Lakers. If you’re into reading between the lines, Fish threw a little jab at L.A.’s front office in his statement (“While this may not be the most lucrative contract I’ve been offered…”), and took a big swing at ol’ boy in South Beach: “Let the hunt for six begin.” You know, like No. 6 … Toronto fans have been strangely silent on DimeMag.com ever since Chris Bosh left, but they may have good reason to resurface: Hedo Turkoglu has (almost) been traded. T-Dot’s latest local villain had turned into Gargamel with the quickness, so he’s in the process of being sent to Phoenix as part of a three-team deal where Toronto would get Leandro Barbosa, Tyson Chandler and Boris Diaw, and the Bobcats get Jose Calderon and Reggie Evans. Josh Childress is also headed to the Suns as part of a sign-and-trade with Atlanta … Of the three, the Raps could be the biggest winners. If Chandler can stay healthy, they have the rebounder/defender they’ve needed at center for years, and two potent offensive weapons in Barbosa and Diaw; plus because they have Jarrett Jack already, losing Calderon isn’t a big deal. But don’t be surprised if Hedo turns back the clock for a monster season in Phoenix’s wide-open system … Hopefully this leads to a scenario where Calderon tries to guard Michael Jordan during one of MJ’s random drop-ins on Bobcats practice. We don’t care how much he parties, 47-year-old Mike still gives the worst defender in the NBA buckets … Is anybody else excited to hear the Spurs signed Tiago Splitter just so we can finally see if he’s an actual person? Dude is like The Gorillaz. It’s gonna take a while for us to believe he’s real … The Jazz, Mavs and Cavs are being mentioned in growing Al Jefferson trade rumors, and while Dallas has Erick Dampier‘s contract as attractive bait, they also reportedly want Minnesota to take DeShawn Stevenson in the deal. For the love of Spree, PLEASE make this happen. Mike Beasley and D-Steve stranded in Minnesota for the winter? That’s an easy reality show. Tattoo artists in the Twin Cities are watching this development like the rest of us watched the O.J. trial … Q-Rich is on the move again, reaching an agreement with Orlando for an undisclosed amount. We were just thinking, the Magic needed another guy who hasn’t sniffed the paint in years and is quick to launch threes given a sliver of daylight. Offensively he’s an upgrade over Matt Barnes, but defensively? Remember, Q-Rich was the guy who started off guarding Kobe the night KB24 went for 61 in the Garden … We’re out like “The Super-Cool Bease and Steve Show” …

T-Dot making some smart moves. I’ve always said any move that makes Il Mago play the 4 is a good one. Still don’t know why they signed Amir ti that MONSTROSITY of a conract but hey you win some you lose some.
MJ gives Calderon 30 points easy. No insults can stress how bad a defender he is. He’s gonna give Brown nightmares in Charlotte.
Dallas REALLY need big Al, a legit back-to-basket centre who gives them what you need in the west SIZE. Minesota should just take DeShawn and a pick lord knows what the hell their organisation is doing. They obviously see Milic as their franchise centre.
Speaking of reality shows, how much for a Miami one? Seeing Bron get booed by every away fan, Wade strut his single as around South Beach and Bosh being a fame whore would make for some marvelous television

here is question for readers. few days ago i had a chat with a friend and he says bosh won’t have more than 10ppg in miamia, while i believe he will be close to 18ppg, because all attention wade and bron will receive. and its funny who bosh said he wanted to be the man on the team he signs with, and now he’s horace grant at best.

I really believe that Hedo Turkoglu will have a somewhat monster season with Phoenix. It is a good fit. It will be fun to watch him and Steve Nash in a run-and-gun offense.
From what I have read in the past, Tiago Splitter can flat out play. The Spurs, if the hype is correct, is not yet dead. And by the way, I like the Gorillaz a lot.
And Utah, please do not take Shannon Brown. Besides a high vertical leap, what is he really good for? Take Matt Barnes instead or gamble on Tracy McGrady. Also, take a long hard look at acquiring Shaquille O’Neal. A starting unit of Shaq, Al Jefferson, CJ Miles, Andrei Kirilenko, and Deron Williams can and should win against 98 percent of the teams in the league.

i think jose calderon will be more effective in charlotte if they had more shooters. other than capn jack, their only gameplan against orlando in the playoffs was drive in. and they do drive well.. but how many wins did that getem?
July 13th, 2010 at 3:32 am
Stunnaboy09 says:
@jace close to 43 actually, enough for th 7th seed in the East.
Charlotte are a funny team, they look pretty decent on paper but have little to no cap space and you look at their roster and no one jumps out at you as being dramatically expensive. See them being in that 43-48 win range for a loooooong time.
And good for Stern showing us he ca detach himself from Bron’s crotch to give a somewhat fair ruling.
Hedo aint doing shit for no team till 2014 and his contract is expiring and he starts balling for that last pay day

My God. Now the Heat sign Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem ???
So they already have
Chalmers
Wade
Lebron
Bosh
Joel
Miller
Haslem
thats a solid 7 man rotation. There are reports that a lot of veterans are calling to get a job for the minimum. Heck , Stackhouse was asking for a job with the Heat 2 days ago on NBA TV.
I think they will go 75-7 in the RS and 15-1 in the playoffs.

LMNOP says:
i like the trades for everyone involved
Charlotte get a good distributor, and as a team, they should be able to cover his defensive lapses
Raps get a Defensive C to pair next to Bargs, so can move to the 4 and maybe go off for like 24/25 a game next year. Also Leo should get some buckets.
PHX get an extra ball handler/playmaker/perimeter threat who should thrive next to Nash. And i like the Childress pickup, he could easily start, another versatile wing player with high IQ.
Then therse Tiago, who could be the best big man to play next to Duncan since the Admiral.
Would big AL and Derron top your PG/Big list?
also, i love the idea of the DeShawn & Beeez Show…. goin all crazy in the snow, smokin high grade, doin ill advised tats on each others faces, but at the end of the show they go to sleep in stripey PJ’s with night hats in a shared room with 2 single beds …. like a cross between Friday, The Shining and Bert & Ernie

Please let this deal go through.. I can see Toronto back in playoffs again if Tyson can stay healthy…
And yeah we Raptor fans have been quiet cause we don’t have much hate for bosh leaving.. 7 years no rings, no playoff series wins.. in the words of Jayz, on to the next one!
He did great charity work here though that will be missed and should be mentioned as he leaves. Hopefully someone on the Raptor squad will pick up the ball on that.

@Yoda: “its funny who bosh said he wanted to be the man on the team he signs with, and now he’s horace grant at best.”
I think Bosh does the right thing though. There’s NO way that a team gets far in the the playoffs with Bosh being the man. I know dude can play and he puts up great numbers, but…no…not with his style of play. Reminds me of Dirk and KG–both great, but will never win a championship being “the man.”
I agree with you with Bosh’s 18 ppg next season. To me, Miami is going to be uptempo. Wouldn’t they be a lock to score 100+ a night??? If LBJ gets 30 and change, and Wade gets 30 and change, you’d figure Bosh would get the majority of those remaining touches/shots. I think we’ll have to see more of Bosh’s post game and less of these step back Js.

Stunnaboy09 says:
More and more I’m getting interested in T-Dot. Still rubs me kinda wrong that they DRAFT a 4, SIGN a 4 to a ridiculous contract and are now pulling a trade that makes their best player play the 4.
Still say good move because I’m REALLY looking for Bargniani to break out and get those Dirk numbers he has the potential to get. 23/8/2 isn’t that much to ask for is it?
Focus on DeRozan and Bargs, find more complementary pieces and Toronto may actually end up being better than they were without Bosh.
Or I could be wrong, DD and Bargs could be mega busts and Toronto are back in the lotto, but hey there is always Harrison Barnes

yoda says:
its ok to go and chase ring with team that has a chance to win it. but still, after saying he wants to be the man and now being third option at best (i wonder when miami needs clutch points who will be one shooting first, bosh or miller?). but i’d take his money and possible rings any day. he (them) just have to wait for kobe to break down so they can actually win it all. this year, if lakers stay healthy, trophy stays in la land.
on other hand, bosh and wade both have history of injuries (first with right knee, second one with everything). with some bad luck, they both might miss significant time of the year and i don’t see bosh playing hurt like kobe did. wade could, i believe

Is anyone else thinking we may see a rebrith so to speak of beasley in Minnesota? Everyone seems to think it’s going to be a trainwreck because of the locale, but he played his best ball in a place called Manhattan, Kansas – not exactly a mecca of fun itself? Maybe Miami was just a bad enviroment for him at his age? A Tribe Called Quest did warn us about that glamour and glitz afterall…..
It will be something to keep an eye on.

@Russ – Manhattan, Kansas – aka KState – aka COLLEGE. It may not be USC, but for the biggest athlete that school’s seen since Michael Bishop was taking snaps 12 years ago, it was definitely a mecca of fun. Don’t get it twisted. You ain’t need NYC to wild out in college.

I am pretty sure D-Fish was referring to his 6th championship ring, not Lebron James. I find it hard to believe a guy with 5 rings is putting a target on the back of a guy with 0.

@dynastybball, if you don’t like the site, don’t visit it. More annoying than anyone jealously talking shit about LBJ or Kobe are the folks that go to a site just to complain about said site. Even more annoying than them are the damn ads that go psycho on here, though.
SMH
Can’t wait for the season to start to see how good Tiago’s game translates to the NBA. Having the first solid big with Duncan since The Admiral departed is going to do wonders in keeping Duncan healthy and may add a few extra years to his career!
Also, did anyone think Fisher wouldn’t re-sign with the Lakers? It just wasn’t going to happen and he wasn’t about to retire, either. He’s got a good chance to snag another ring this year.

We had our hopes he would stay, but a missed playoff and some messed up tweets prepared us for his leaving.
It is called acceptance, and in Toronto we are kind of used to peeps leaving… see tmac, vince, etc…

SJ says:
I suppose I agree LBJ gets more attention than most others on this site, but most blog sites out there are the same way… his free agency was probably the biggest thing regarding the NBA in the last few years. I bet more people watched ‘The Decision’ than the NBA Finals. So, seeing as how the spotlight is really on LBJ from all angles, I can understand the reasons Dime puts him in the forefront. Plus, not much else exciting in the offseason.

Yeah, that new roster might be tough for real.
What’s Deshawn Stevenson’s value to a ball club??
Just saying.
@17 – 808 ::
I agree. 3rd option. Not bad. Not The Man. But he still gets a good chance of winning and attain more stats.
Most importantly for him and what I think goes unrecognized, Bosh is more concerned with being a “fame whore” as someone put it.
Not in a negative way, but this guy – someone mentioned his charity works – well he also is an entrepreneur.
And quite frankly his marketing was somewhat handicapped while he operating out of Canada. He basically said it.
So a high profile city, playing on a high profile team, combined with the fact that Miami’s profile has jumped some more because Lebron’s playing there now…
He’ll see his business opportunities multiply.
I’m thinking that’s what he’s thinking.
Regardless if he’s the 2nd or 3rd option.
Shoot, people forget if Wade and/or Bron gets hurt, the Heat still have a go-to superstar.
That’s kinda crazy. Should be very fun for fans of ball.
@26 – ok I can def agree with you on this one. Which is rare. COLLEGETOWNS are fun and wild and crazy and if you’re a jock/bmoc…it’s what you call ‘THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.”
Especially in nowhereville, hickstown, and the boondocks.
@ dynastybball
HAHAHA!!!!! You slime Dime for slobbing LBJ then slobbed Austin while sliming him in the same breath. So after you did all that slobbing.and sliming. You immediately followed up by slobbing youngfed. WOW!! Where’s your D*CKRIDING priorities?? These dudes be flamers I swear.
Bron is a walking news piece. Dime is a MEDIA channel. Do the math.
And if you can’t do it, keep on slobbing.
The FISH signing was extra anti-climatic. It was obvious he went to Miami to gain some leverage in his negotiations with LA execs. Who knows if it worked to his plan…but he’s back and the Lakers have something the New Big 3 don’t have : 2 solid point guards.
And a young sky-walking combo guard.
Big Al to Utah??? That’s perfect for Utah. Seriously, I want KAHN’S JOB NOW.
I bet he just comes to work and pushes buttons…like Homer…or better yet Anchorman. Swears he knows what he’s doing. But he don’t know NADA!! I know I can do it way better than him. He’s probably got 3 studs DLeague he hasn’t even seen play.
But you know he’s gonna trade ‘em for a young, inexperienced point guard. You know it.

One more league MVP than Kobe?LMAO because the media votes for that award.Kobe should have 3 of those things by now,Larry Bird had to put a proverbial gun to the media’s head for Kobe to get his only MVP that’s how ridiculous and meritless that award is now.Bird had to tell the media he was giving back all his MVP’s if Kobe didn’t win it the year he won it,because it the thought that he didn’t have one already was ridiculous.Kobe back to back finals MVP on his way to a three-peat,Bron back to back league MVP jumped ship,the most hated man on the planet and a second option on D-Wade’s Miami Heat team, what kind of leader is that?

Read yo’ sh*t again and ask urself what are u trying to say?
it’s nuttin personal, i just dont care for slobbers like u. you said itself you like Dime and u think Austin’s writing is cool. So what’s the whole LBJ slobbing thing about??
Lemme guess, tons of folk make a big deal about it…tons of folk say the same thing…some of them think they’re clever by masking it under ‘not hating just stating my opinion’ or ‘just keepin it real, just tellin the truth’…so you’re a follower…like a bandwagon hopper…
Hey sometimes it’s cool (if its cool to you) to be on the bandwagon.
Sometimes it’s not. Like I said, if its cool to you then its cool.
But I’d rather be a BANDWAGON FAN than a SCROTUM SLOBBIN HATER

My SIXERS, mainly the organization execs, have made some questionable moves and signings for the past several years…basically, they make it hard to be SUPER LOYAL.
If I’m lying, I’m dying.

Is Jordan killin that trade of Chandler to the Raps?
Cuz the Raptors are stealin in that deal. Get Chandler, Diaw and Barbosa and only gotta give up Calderon, Evans and basically just get rid of Hedo…
In important news, Kobe talkin to Raja Bell about comin to La La. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, if we get that dude, it’s over. Veteran defender who can hit the 3. We gon be bruisin squads lol.
Lakers, baby!
We don’t need a big 3, rather have a solid 7 lol

Mr Brogden,
These are facts:
1. I am a Sixers fan
2. Dime gives written oral to LBJ
3. SJ busted my balls about “don’t come to the site if you want to complain”
4. In response to SJ I said: the only reason worth coming here is to read Austin’s shit (most of the time when he isn’t sucking off Lebron)
5. AND I asked where Youngfed is because I don’t like that f’er and wanted to bust his balls.
6. Go buy some more tampax

Irony: Lakeshow complaining about Lebron nuthuggers when he is the one of the biggest Kobe slurpers I’ve ever encountered. I just don’t understand the whole Lebron vs Kobe debate. They’re completely different players with different positions and styles. It’s like comparing Shaq and Jordan. It’s pointless.
Lebron is great. Kobe is great. Fans who throw one under the bus to try to bolster the legacy of the other…well it makes no sense.

@ JT
I prefer the term “pole ridin”..
And i wouldnt like it if DIME did the same for Kobe.. leave that biased shit for us fans to bicker about you feel??
They act like dude is the CEO’s son lololololol

K Dizzle says:
@ JT
you right tho.
You really can’t compare Lebron to Kobe…cuz Kobe’s a winner…and Bron a quitter! okokokokokok, I apologize. Too soon lol

LakeShow84 says:
Lol @ KDizz
See its all the same tho.. UBER intelligent people know you cant really compare because of talents, position, system etc and US LAKER FANS know why u cant really compare the 2 lol

kobe pole riding, bron d*ckriding, kobe slurpers, lebron nuthuggers, lebron suckers, kobe scrotum lickers, lbj scrotum slobbers, bron jockin, kobe head givers…
THIS IS GETTIN’ NUTS. LOL
What happened to ‘supporters’ and ‘detractors’???
ok Dynastybball. 215 in da buildin. Say no more. I will b**** and moan and groan PERIODICALLY because I hear (see/read/u know what I mean) A LOT DUMB SH*T.
The intelligent posters say: LBJ hasn’t won a championship yet to even begin solidifying his legacy amongst the greats or he doesn’t have “it”, or – he doesn’t have the entire skill set expected from a seasoned forward or his off-court demeanor is not professional enough.
And when Kobe’s making the headlines and we’re talking about him…the intelligent ones say: Even though he can make them, he takes ill advised shots that may harm his team, or he ball hogs too long which stagnates the offense…
But the ones that get me mad usually say:
DIME is ALWAYS teabaggin Bron Bron. Dude is totally over-rated. Total asshole. Total next to kin to the anti-christ. Real ball heads’ll take Brandon Bass yo. Straight up. What the bron jizz gugglers don’t understand is Kobe is way freakin better than him. It’s simple as that! Even Wade is better Bron, everyone knows that. what a quitter. a f’n joke. he has to play with better players to get a ring? Kobe never had to do that. MJ never had to do that. Lebron is wack.
GTFOH
