At the end of the day, who buys Addidas anyway for themselves or their kids to ball in? Hell who buys Reeboks? I know I haven't since the days of T-MAc and AI.

Jordan's are without a doubt the best to ball in. Most of them at least. There's also a lot of Adidas shoes that are mad comfy to play ball in.

Andrew Bynum, welcome to being an all star son.

Lakers have reached out to JR Smith according to Woj.

I wanted to slap Shaq when he said Amare should be an All Star.

 

[SAIYANS]

If you believe Chad Ford, Pau and Amare both are on the trade block.

 

[PHX]

Both are in funny situations. Got big men who seem out of place in their current situations and their respective teams both need point guards to run their offense cause their main ball handlers are both score score score guys. Knicks more so than the Lakers though.

 

[SAIYANS]

I'll laugh and then be pissed if they do what I think they will. Pau for Amare. The Knicks get the big to facilitate their offense and who is much more passive, so he would compliment Melo. Amare would give Jim Buss a star name, while allowing him to keep Bynum, and he would look to score which is what Mike has been asking Pau to do. I get a funny feeling both teams might just make that fuck it trade near the deadline if LA can't get Dwight and their records are similar to what they are now percentage wise

 

[PHX]

So Amare would go from saying ooh that must be nice watching Melo score to ooh that must be nice watching Kobe score : Amare is pretty much a decent player at best without a true point guard feeding him. Knicks would get off better in that trade for the reason you said but still with the Dantoni offense that does fuck all without a true point guard they'd still be screwed.

 

[SAIYANS]

Kobe could get Amare involved. Proof is in the fact Shaq, Kwame, Mihm, Odom, and Pau all had their highest efficencies with him. That said, it would be a bitch to see Amare and Bynum squak over wanting the ball and Kobe having to divvy it up between them especially with them trying to bring JR Smith in too. Kobe would be the most unselfish of the four which ain't saying much lol

 

[SAL]

Everybody has their highest efficiency with Kobe because he doesn't pass it to them unless they're WIDE WIDE WIDE open. Bynum should be shooting like 80%.

 

[SAIYANS]

Pau takes the same amount of shots he did in Memphis. He always has lol. Bynum takes over 7 more a game this year and LAmar always attempted double digits. People get to shoot contrary to popular belief. But solid troll attempt

 

[PHX]

You still don't get the best out of him though unless he is the number 1 scoring option like he was in Phoenix and was with the Knicks before Melo got there. Just doesn't seem to handle being the secondary scorer well esp since he isn't someone like Chandler for example who can get some of his points without plays being ran for him.

 

[SAIYANS]

The thing is PAu plays with the second unit and doesn't look to score in the second and fourth quarters with that group. I mean Goudelock is calling his own number and scoring during those spurts now

 

[PHX]

That's why if that deal did happen it'd work better for the Knicks even if Pau does seem sensitive like a little girl sometimes, lol. Lakers need a shooter and need a point guard Suns should give em Brooks & Frye for Pau won't happen but it's a nice thought.

 

[SAIYANS]

Sure Nash and Frye is
