whoa, maybe you have some sort of ability to control the NBA... sign Kevin Garnett to the Lakers-- quick! jk

I've already tried to trade him to LA, but he hasn't come yet, I guess I don't possess the power like Fab 4 and Kobe834

haha yea i think that happened one other time too, i believe it was with Glenn Robinson. I was jus havin some fun with some trades, and i traded Van Horn for Glenn Robinson jus to see how much fun i cna have with Iverson and G Rob...and little did i know the trade happened about 2 weeks later but with more players in it!!! One other time i traded ray allen(when he was on tha bucks) to the sonics, but not for gary payton, for rashard lewis! i was close tho right?

yea it does.trade fox, horry and walker. or just shaq.

more unimportant NBA news:

Heat are looking to sign another PG, and are considering Bimbo Coles.

Denver is trying to sign Lenard. This was even reported that he was going to sign a couple weeks ago, but has yet to do so, so I would expect that he will end up in Denver.

again?!? :man7:

It's a sad day when a team's key off season addition is Jacque Vaughn, a player who they have already had and gave up, I am disappointed in my local hawks .....oh well, I might actually care if I was a fan of the hawks, but I am not so I can do this to them-

Toyota Center looks like a red version of the SBC Center where the Raptors play.

that Toyota Center is retro--I like the looks of it. I swear. I really do.

As for the Denver trekking V, what's up with the old players trying to come back to their old teams? I didn't even know why Denver dumped V in the first place. He actually helped them by giving them points--definitely something they lacked last year. And they lost him to free agency. And now they've got the opportunity to get him again. Lenard is an underrated playa; he stepped up big time for Toronto when Lamond Murray went down with the jock itch or something. That's why he gets 30 minutes off the bench. I'm surprised Toronto hasn't given him an offer yet. This guy averaged in double figures for the last four years! Hard to believe from a small time player, but that's what he is: electric. He's just undersized, that's why, for SG. Denver should be smart to get him. Why don't the Clips? They've been lazing around all offseason.

Isn't the SBC Center where the Spurs play?

more unimportant info (I am putting it here because this is the last new thread with non important signings and the news isn't worth a new thread)


Nuggets sign Francisco Elson. He is a Dutch 7-footer that they drafted back in 99.

Yeah that's right my bad. I forgot what the Raptors arena is called. Something similar though.

wasnt it like Air Canada Centre or something?
