I think Carter know that coming to Dallas was not about stealing the spotlight from Dirk, I think he comes there to have a ring once and for all. He knows what he's role is and I trust Coach Rick will do jsut fine with Carter on their line-up. But if he does not change and steal the spotlight from Dirk, then the Mavs are doomed.

speaking of denver ano balita dun sa mga players nila na stuck sa china? martin? jr smith? wilson chandler?

kung wala sila this season, rudy fernandez would be suitable replacements.

Carter will probably play just just 20-25 mins a game so the "damage" won't be too bad.

Si Terry naman ang inaasahan ng Mavs pag crunchtime kaya very minor lang ang role ni Vince sa Mavs. The Delonte signing was good though, he's a defensive minded guard who can guard both PG/SG positons. Tapos yung free roster space na nakuha nila dahil sa pagpapakawala nila kay Brewer/Daboy, pwede nilang gamitin para mag-sign ng big men na pang veteran's minimum tulad ni Pryzbilla etc.

Tapos may $20-25 milyon na cap space pa ang Mavs next year para maakit si Deron/Dwight/CP3. The Mavs didn't do that badly this offseason. While they don't exactly look like contenders this year, nobody thought that they were contenders last year either.

Nene remains with the nuggets as they finally reached a deal.

Si kenyon martin nattangap na nya na next year pa balik nya after the china league season is over. Si jr smith at chandler ang nagiisip pa ng way na makabalik

mukhang nabuhay nanaman cp3 to lakers deal...

Di kaya gawing trade bait si V. Carter ng Dallas for a center?

thebat · « **Reply #637 on:** Dec 14, 2011 at 03:00 PM »

Delonte West is done. Laging injured yan, and not a physical player, takot to mix up inside unlike Barrea.
About Carter, parang ok naman laro nya sa Magic dati ah? Di naman sya ball hog dun? Dinaga lang sya sa free throws nung crucial na, hehe.

VC will just shoot treys if he bricks back to the bench

Delonte will just spell Kidd and will rotate behind terry also.

RE: lakers talks again with cp3, hahaha too bad hornets (stern) didnt ok'd the first deal.

ivannn · « **Reply #640 on:** Dec 14, 2011 at 04:04 PM »

oo nga eh.. the first cp3 deal was okay enough na rin naman. ang masama lang ngayon sa deal eh no more lamar odom to be included as bargaining chip...

synchro_01 · « **Reply #641 on:** Dec 14, 2011 at 06:38 PM »

The big dilemma of the Lakers would be to chase only one of the two in CP3 and Superman. They need to do that now because by next year those two will be up for grabs for the teams that have the highest cap space...something the Lakers do not have.

If they trade for Paul then they must have a lot of faith in Bynum to anchor the defense and offense in the paint. If they trade for Howard it's a forgone conclusion that they won't be contending this for the trophy this year. They lack the pieces to give support to Howard and Kobe. The frontline of Pau, Lamar and Bynum will be history.

IMHO I prefer the CP3 trade for them than Howard but if they can get both then why not..

kaya lang both cp3 and dh12 ay may listahan ng preferred destination. kahit pa gano kataas ang cap space ng isang team kung ayaw naman nila dun wala din.

XanderCage · « **Reply #644 on:** Dec 14, 2011 at 09:33 PM »

hopefully Jamal Crawford signs up with the knicks. lakas nila nun!

he lost 32 pounds accdg to reports.

in another news magic just shutdown trade offers and decide to keep dh12 for the season.

is it going to be 1996 all over again for the magic? we'll see.

** LAC trading away Eric Gordon for CP3 ..... Chris Paul is a superstar, but Eric Gordon has been a very good complement to Griffin - both with inhuman hops & still approaching their prime, growing together.

For LAC's sake, they better contend soon ..... as Chris Paul will likely walk-away after 2 years.

** Given the circumstances, still a decent trade for NOH ..... though definitely not as good as the 1st proposed trade that was shotdown by Stern.

Yunarce · « **Reply #652 on:** Dec 15, 2011 at 10:07 AM »

So the LAC will have a combo guard in their starting lineup. Paul would be the 1 guard but who would be the 2 guard? Billups or Mo? Man they're loaded with guards.

Randy Foye (years ago was touted as Dwayne Wade 2.0) ..... Mo Williams is more of a combo-guard than a true PG.

Recent signee Caron Butler can play some SG as well.

I would have liked Eric Gordon kept in LAC ...... LAC better hope that they contend deep soon.

other news: Rip Hamilton signs with the Bulls.

clippers are imho 2nd round playoffs contenders atleast

right now they have a hole at the SG and backup C

CP3 and DH12 are out of the trading market na for the Lakers... sino pa kaya pwede nila makuha...

Yunarce · « **Reply #657 on:** Dec 15, 2011 at 11:19 AM »

I like the bulls signing R.Hmilton. They really need a backup scorer for D.Rose. Now they have R.Hamilton to carry some of the scoring behind Rose and Boozer/Deng.

"I knew we were doing the best thing for New Orleans and that was my job," Stern said. "You have to stick with what you think was right. I must confess it wasn't a lot of fun, but I don't get paid to have fun."

Stern said he never allowed other owners' opinions or considerations of large and small markets to determine where Paul, one of the NBA's biggest stars, would end up. He said his only focus was on getting the best deal for the Hornets.

Baliw talaga tong si stern hindi ba mas good deal yung nauna na scola, odom, martin at dragic. Tsk tsk. Kesa sa ngayon na gordon, kaman at aminu.

rusty · « **Reply #659 on:** Dec 15, 2011 at 12:58 PM »

I for one think that Clippers deal is a much better deal than the earlier one with the Lakers. It makes much better sense, rebuilding-wise. The unprotected 1st rd pick from Minnesota is huge because it gives them a pretty good chance of landing top tier talent (Anthony Davis, Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond) in next year's draft. I think it's better to be a bad team with a lot of assets and cap space than a mediocre one (with LAL-HOU deal) with few tradeable assets and vey little cap flexibility.

If they dealt for Scola-Martin , they would've been guaranteed to barely make the playoffs or lose badly in the 1st rd. in the next few years. With the Clippers deal, they will undoubtedly be awful this year, but they will have a chance to acquire a potentially franchise changing player(or two) next year while maintaining the team's cap flexibility.
