yo. duds.

UPDATE: theme music

this jeremy fella. he good an shit.

but so many of you jubbo's are up in here talking huge depth and championship, when only last week you were talking about blow up the team. CHILL PAAAWWW! you whilin!

if there's anything worth learning from jeremy lin, its to stay humble. don't let the highs get you too high, and if the early part of the season meant anything!!!!!i!! don't let the lows get you too low. i see you; you right there! you are on an emotional roller coaster, that shit is bonafide looney shit.

well cut that out. i'm the bull goose looney. and i'm tellin ya, martini, keep it on the sly. you run into the bush- you're gonna have a hard time picking off them birds. better to just lay in the cut, and when they scatter, you give it your best shot.

so this is stingy, the grand wizard of hand lizards, concluding his emotional reminder to all you knick fans and stans. 5 games does not a 66 game season make. no matter how good, or bad, or mediocre or whatever. maintain perspective and understand whats working and whats not working. positive vibes be your guide. make sure your appetite is healthy.

for sure.

hahaaaa fucked the lakers up, my g!

he'll be coming back from china in a few weeks and he should be discussed. he would add depth, and quality scoring. two things this team is seriously struggling with. also he's a little crazy. personally, i think we need a dose of chaos out there, especially late in the third quarter. also his girl looks tough.

now, its not highly likely that he will sign with the knicks, a struggling team with no cap space. but its not downright silly either. he's from new jersey, he's got a recent history with melo (where they seemed to get along), he'd get plenty of minutes and shots in new york. and he has publicly stated that he will consider the knicks when he is free to sign. all good signs.

but! there are other teams he is said to have interest in. among them are the clippers, the thunder, the bulls and the lakers.

so who makes sense and who doesn't? who makes sense and doesn't make sense? who doesn't make sense, and that makes sense? mase kense?

the clippers make sense. they are on the verge of being the most depth ridden glutton in the nba. they have a pair of former nugget teammates he can be besties with, he can just chill out and bang threes while everyone does all the heavy lifting in the paint. and then when he feels like it, just waltz in and ram one over dj mbenga or some palooka with no sense.

the clippers are over the cap on account of the kenyon martin signing. and while he would add depth, he could create a minutes crunch. which is cool and everything, but mo williams might not like that, he doesn't seem to like stuff too much. them there clippers would be damn good tho. they already are, but i mean... jr smith instead of randy foye and ryan gomes is just horrifying.

the lakers make sense. obviously the guy digs los angeles. he'd get to play plenty of minutes and possibly start out there. but he might be asked to make a lot of concessions, namely play defense, not shoot so much, and make the least amount of money nba players can make. both lose angeles' can offer minimum contracts. so they don't really make sense, unless the allure of los angeles is just too palpable for earl jersey and the clippers don't offer enough perks.

speaking of perks- the thunder don't make sense. they like squeaky clean images, and jr just will never have that. but adding him to an already powerful team, allows them to slide thabo sefalosha to the bench more, or somewhere even less noticeable. it gives them a reliable shooter that isn't all daequan cooky, because he can get to the hoop, and is just generally bigger and better. they can offer him a decent enough contract, but they are pretty tied to the players they have, and they just don't seem to make snap decisions on marginal role players that they might not want to keep around for the years to come. because, let's face it, they are building a contender, they want quality players, but they need them to fit in. does jr fit in? probably not. would he end up tying their hands for future (better) moves? thats the question that will probably make them pass.

then there's the bulls. the guy fits right in to the starting line up, gives them a true blue scoring wing, and a guy that can keep up with derrick rose. it almost makes too much sense! but the bulls are over the cap. and like the lakers might want him to be a better defender than he might want to be. the bulls have had chances to snag him in the past and have balked. but maybe they were just waiting for a time such as now? i dunno....

i have opened the floor. don't fall thru.

the season is certainly taking its merry old time. happy go lucky ass season! if you can't wait, same as me, this thread is just a totally open thing to talk about what you expect to see on sunday. whether you want to predict shumpert going for 18/8/8 with 6 steals and a block or carmelo starts the year dropping 42 on boston's feeble old heads and still making time to get 13 assists.

or if you feel the need to ridicule paul pierce for being a lame drama queen- who is obviously going to play. i mean trust me, i know heel injuries are awful, i had two bruised heels once and could barely walk for almost four months. but he's a faker- needing to paint himself as this all mighty heroic figure as often as he can. or if you want to criticize rondo and garnett for being unbendingly obnoxious. just leave ray allen out of it. he's a cool guy.

whatever it is you wan to talk about. let's rap, man. i'll start it off though.

is that he's gonna bark on someone for not boxing out. or missing a rotation. and can't nobody tell him shit. they just gotta listen and get it right. otherwise he barks on them again. don't matter what their nba 2k rating is. if the bison barks, you get in line.


what else is dope about tyson chandler?

well he shares last names with wilson. he's a beardo! he's one of those straight from high school types. he's won a championship. he's a team usa dude. he rams on bitches. he's a real legit center. he throws on hoes. he's a true blue 7 footer. he dunks on punks. he's a honest to goodness pivot man. yo...

nice! very cool! i like it! i'm happy about this! i can't wait to see this fella play! he's so cool! dudes with beards are cool! straight to the pros from high school guys kick ass! this is awesome! i wanna hang out! i wanna run! i wanna big up my beard. i wanna get big. we done good here. peace to glen grunwald. peace to mike d'antoni. peace to steve kerr. peace to charles barkley. peace to mark jackson. peace to new york! peace to brooklyn! peace to queens! big shout out to myself! major props to the kids that stay doin their thing! yo i love it! lets stomp these bitches out! nba! world peace! maybe we can get lamar odom to run point for us. that would be dope!

baron!

With the departure of the sure-handed, straight-shooting Donald Walsh, our front office has a Death Star sized crater left in the middle of it. Glen Grunwald was pushed into the oval office in the interim. Thankfully, Donnie is still around for the time being, and will contribute to the draft process. There are many prospects out there and i would like to take some time to look at few of them. My guess is that we will not name a new President/General Manager until after the Collective Bargaining Agreement has been settled or (hashem forbid) the lockout has concluded.

Unfortunately for your reading pleasure, I completely lack enthusiasm in any capacity, and am entirely filled with vitriol. Nevertheless I will attempt to provide a marginally informative -albeit drab and tedious- description of some of the bigger names in the Front Office Free Agent Pool (FOFAP).


We now continue this 47-part series with the man who's currently at the helm, Mr. Glen Grunwald.

I would like to continue this 47-part series with one of the original cap-clearing whores of the FOFAP-mosphere, John Gabriel. This total bastard was one of the first people to try aligning the stars (as we just attempted, and the Heat completed) when he dumped the entire Orlando Magic salary in an attempt to sign 2 or 3 major stars (namely Grant Hill, Tim Duncan and Tracy Mcgrady) in one off-season. He came damn close, and although Duncan was probably never truly contemplating leaving the Spurs, he sure did dip his toes in the water (swimming joke).

He's a relatively cool guy, he's multi-talented, he lost 700,000 pounds at one point, and he knows how to move money around (cash rules)...

I would like to kick off this 47-part series with one of the most notorious characters in the FOFAP-mosphere, Kevin Pritchard. This natural wheeler and dealer spent the majority of his front office decision-making with the Trail Blazers, who are consistently one of the deepest (despite being most injured) teams in the league. He has been out of the league for a bit, and has been seen in the kitchen inspecting the fruit, and showing signs of rust. Despite floating on the perimeter, he has maintained an upbeat resolve, and will get his opportunity sooner (double-entendre alert) or later. It ain't shit wrong with biding your time.

However, you may have a problem...

hey i'm so fucking selfish its sickening. i hope to death that no one pays attention to you. i know i can't be bothered! LOL... i guess i'm pretty great for coming up with an idea you never considered. i'm always inside the heartbeat of nba goings on. what the fuck is up with the melo deal? no but srsly, i am remarkably self centered. i may or may not be an only child. regardless of that smart type mumbo jumbo, psychatrium or whatever.

now feel inspired to tell me what you think. should the knicks sign jason williams? he could probably replace gallinari in a pinch.

i didn't even wonder if i made the 75 words minimum. i'm so thought worthy less.

you know what i'm talkin' about.

by all accounts our new new york knicks have been working hard, and working together (for the most part) all summer. there are a few players who have been missing. most obviously is eddy curry, most reasonably is kelenna azubuike, and most notably is timofey mozgov.

mozart gets his hair raked to perfection.

all in all, it has been encouraging to hear about our guys working together on a daily basis. toney douglas sounds like a gym rat, amar'e stoudemire is said to be in the gym at dawn, raymond felton has clearly been working hard. anthony randolph has been working on his jumper while adding muscles. gallinari actually being able to work on his game, rather than rehab his back, is exciting. wilson chandler is surely elevating his specimen (pause). bill walker has lost 20 some-odd pounds in hopes of increasing his quickness and athleticism. the guys are rallying around each other, and the outlook is very encouraging. training camp is still about a week away, and these guys have been working collectively and individually since the las vegas summer league! 

i haven't written anything in a very long time, sorry if it 'uckin sucks. but if you're still with me- let's keep it going. perhaps we'll generate a pretty interesting conversation.
