Poor Boom Dizzle. I'll get to him later. And a knucklehead play too.
Gotta say I love the NBA rumor mill just as much as the play on the court. So today was AWESOME. From what I've read, the Warriors tried to do a few things. They looked into the availability of Kendrick Perkins. He was dealt to OKC. They nearly pulled the trigger on a deal for Antawn Jamison. Reportedly, they ran out of time. So they did nothing (except for acquiring a 2nd round pick...they'll buy out Troy Murphy). I didn't expect them to do anything. And that was really their best option. Why? The uncertainty with the new CBA.
No one knows what the rules will be next year. Will there be a franchise tag? Will there be a hard cap? Hell, will there be a season? Without boring you, the bottom line is there's too much uncertainty. Are the reports true that Deron Williams wants to be in New York when his contract is up? Could acquiring a Gerald Wallace prevent the Warriors from re-signing Stephen Curry to an extension? All things to consider.
With that being said, GM Larry Riley tried to make a move, but he had one hand tied behind his back because of that dumb dumb dumb dumb Marcus Williams trade. Ergo, no movement. It's understandable when broken down.
A lot of people were appalled at the Perkins deal. Count me in, but I don't think Danny Ainge is on crack. Look at the market value for a Perkins-type player. Noah signed his extension last summer that will pay him $14 million in 2015. Andris Biedrins is making $9 million a year. Look at what Darko and Amir Johnson are making (about $5 million). With $56 million committed to the big 4, ain't no way in hell Boston could pay Perkins $8-9 million per year. The timing absolutely can be second-guessed. The move itself? No way. (Celtics traded Harangody? Who's gonna be the new token white guy? Your thoughts?)
And Baron Davis, the boss, Boom Dizzle. Poor guy. He's a Cav now. Just 5 days ago he was throwing lobs to Blake Griffin out of the sunroof of a Kia. Dayyyymn. Dude's gonna stop caring and he'll be filming movies in the great city of Cleveland. Eh.
Side note, this video's hilarious. If it's not, then at the very least it's ridiculous. Yeah, we in the Bay have too much time on our hands.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited to fill out brackets. Anyways, why I won't coach. I'll set the stage. CCS playoff game Los Gatos at Mountain View. LG up by 3 with 10 seconds to go. Mountain View's panicking throwing up wild shots. On a rebound, LG commits a foul. Not a problem, LG has 3 fouls to give and the foul was on the rebound. Problem: the LG player then throws the MV kid to the ground for no reason. LG kid gets a tech and consequently gets thrown out of the game. LG loses the game in OT after MV scores on a baseline out of bounds play (with LG playing man-to-man) to send it to OT. How a senior goes full on knucklehead mode in a basketball career elimination game is beyond me. Also, why was LG playing man D? If I coached that kid, I would have lost it...at him. 5 months of blood, sweat, and tears...for that? You've got to be kidding me.
I'll send you off with videos of athletes after each post. Here's a goody courtesy of Monta Ellis. Maybe it's at the expense of him...whatever. UHHHHHHHHHHH, enjoy.
