In addition, Fathead.com, an online retailer owned by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert dropped the price of its LeBron Fathead wall decals from $99.99 to $17.41, which happens to be the same year Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold was born.
I doubt Miami really wants Fisher's services more than his knowledge of LA's offense...
And I doubt Fish is leaving Kobe and Phil after winning five championships with them. Then again I also doubted all three of those guys going to Miami.
I mean yea Fisher is an asset in terms of spilling the Lakers game so to speak, but just the fact that Fish is meeting with Riley and Miami is snake-ish
Respect for what? Winning a championship in LA and then as soon as Miami gets 2 more allstars, leaving LA for them?
actually, exactly that. and for abandoning kobe. that's my favourite part.

1. Phil Jackson has been using the Triangle offence for years. I don't think there's much more Fisher can say about it that any other coach couldn't find out from watching tape.
2. Miami has a legit interest in Fisher seeing as they don't have a true pg. Mario Chalmers is aight but he's inconsistent. and DWade, combo guard that he is, is more a small 2-guard than a pg.
3. there's been rumours of turmoil in the Lakers camp a la kobe and Shaq with Fish and the rest of the camp. i think this is Fish's way of telling the organization to go fuck themselves.
I completely forgot that the Lakers want Fisher to take a pay cut, to something like 2 million a year lmaooooo, I guess they have what's coming to them if Fisher decides to move on
Tony Allen signs with Memphis, 3 years 9.7 mil...didn't sign with Boston cause they didn't want to give him the guranteed 3rd year
Knicks exploring trades scenarios involving Wilson Chandler (love his game), they'd basically use his talent and package it up with Eddie Curry's contract, to get a legit big man
Hornets sign Luther Head, apparently it's 2.5 mil for 2 years
0 players from the USA 2008 Olympic Roster will be playing in the FIBA World Championships lol
I dont know how many of these players are confirmed (Other than Durant, and Amare, as well as I believe Derrick Rose), here are some names they're looking at to fill the FIBA roster
Rajan Rondo
Robin Lopez (I hope this was a typo and they meant Brook Lopez)
Kevin Durant
Amare Stoudamire
Derrick Rose
Chauncey Billups
Lamar Odom
Tyreke Evans
Rudy Gay
David Lee
Stephen Curry
Not only did we get rid of a team cancer, we got a LEGIT scorer on the wing. I'm not really a fan of Diaw, but I guess getting him doesn't hurt.
I can't decide whether I should be a fan of BC, or hate him... he makes amazing moves like this, and this Amir Johnson/Sonny Weems deal last year... but he's also signing guys like Kleiza for no reason when there's way better wings out there who would play for that contract.
^ We never know the full stories as to why certain players are signed, maybe someone like Tony Allen or Anthony Morrow didn't want to play for Toronto, maybe we already offered them contracts in which they declined. I absolutely agree that Kleiza isn't worth 5 million a year (After JOSH CHILDRESS just signed for about 6-7 mil a year...after Anthony Morrow signed for about 4 mil a year), but you do have to credit Colangelo for getting someone who he feels would be a great consellation prize for losing Turk
With all that said, I still don't like Colangelo, he's always been overrated, just remember he traded Joe Johnson for Boris Diaw
And that's where more rumours are coming in still regarding the Turkoglu/Barbosa/Diaw situation
There's ALOTTTTT of rumours going on right now that in addition to us attaining Diaw, we're looking at giving up Calderon, and possibly a third player (Reggie Evans has been the most talked about player), in order to attain Tyson Chandler, and we lose NONE of our TPE (trade exception), basically meaning that we get an ok centre (Chandler), a really good role player (Diaw), and dump Jose's overrated talent and absurt contract (30mil over 3 years). Now because we still have the TPE and a bit more money, we may be looking at a pretty solid trade in the near future
-Mike Miller to sign with the heat (these were rumours before, now they're pretty much confirmed)
-Udonis Haslem to resign with Miami (5 years 20 mil, much less than he would have gotten if he signed elsewhere)
-Michael Jordon (minority owner of Charlotte) is reluctant to trade Tyson Chandler, and that's why the deal hasnt happened already. But the deal has been talked about in so many places, we can pretty much unofficially make it official. Tyson Chandler himself pretty much said he'd be traded to Toronto
-Utah Jazz very interested in acquiring Al Jefferson via trade. Minnesota basically wants picks, and doesn't want to take on any contracts ("multiple first round picks" they say)
-Quentin Richardson to sign with Orlando
-Dorrell Wright to sign with Golden State (3 years $11 mil)
