Heat made the best move, getting Elton Brand. That guy is a star. Promote this thread! | | It's False

| #2 Posted on 17.7.03 0404.46 Reposted on: 17.7.10 0404.56 | The Clippers' collapse continues. Odom will likely pack his bags next. Fuck you, Donald Sterling, for completely dismantling what was once the most promising young team in the NBA.
If Olowokandi can improve his game in the off-season, the T-Wolves will be feared next season.

He's stuck in West Bumfuck, playing the next six years for some tightass owner that won't build a team around him... shit. If Brand gets to go to Miami, great for him. You've got Butler, Wade... makings of a good team. Maybe the Clips should sign some of those streetball guys? Smush Parker's not doing badly, last I heard... | Grimis

| #6 Posted on 17.7.03 1218.18 Reposted on: 17.7.10 1221.37 | The genius of Pat Riley continues. Just when I was beginning to think that the old man had finally lost it, he gets Brand to sign that offer sheet. Signing Brand would be a good move, but the genius lies in the fact that if the Clips match the offer, they won't spend the money to keep their other high-priced restricted free agent, namely Lamar Odom. Welcome to Miami Lamar. Riles has been high on this guy for years now and it looks like he's finally going to get what he wants. And even if things don't work out this way, he still gets Brand. Good move. | Broncolanche

Odom and high are two words that you hear in the same sentence quite often, I gather. | Stefonics

That's the riskiest thing a player could do. If you go and blow something out your all done. It's hard to leave that kind of money sitting on the table. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
