Sasha Vujacic was part of the championship run they had!

Phlip

2.3ppg regular season and 3ppg in the playoffs. One TOTAL game started, regular season and playoffs, less than half an assist per game. I contributed about as much to those championships as he did.

Yea but he brought a lot of toughness to the team. I remember him acting tough and not backing down to anyone. It was pretty hilarious actually.

Yeah his annoying defense actually threw off many of the people he guarded, which is something stats can't define unfortunately.

I wouldn't want Bynum back, I'd favor an Odom return out of all the ex-Lakers to be considered.

He reminded me of less effective Bruce Bowen. Less defense and points but annoying as hell for the opposing players. They might as well bring back Smush Parker at this point! Kobe would love a reunion.

I guess you can call it defense, but I'll say this: he's probably tougher than Garnett acting like a fake tough guy. No one expected a skinny guy who was constantly brushing his long girly hair behind ears with his hands to act so mean and hit threes.


Odom was really butthurt from almost being traded, but his wife might make him stay in LA.

Bynum officially off the market.

Let's see if he actually decides to play this season. I think he has to because if he doesn't, NO ONE will offer him a contract in 2 years. He should learn from Bogut and make a career out of playing every other year.

Don't know If you guys know this but the Bulls parted ways with Rip Hamilton, which is a good thing as a fan of the Bulls.

And this shocked me that Mike Dunleavy is now a Bull.

Anyone know If he's good I've heard about him and know he went to Duke but don't know If he's productive.

Goofs

Eh he's the type of player that Thib wants on the team. He will play D and he won't cause any problems in the locker room.

This getting these players that are role players at best in the off season is one of the reasons I am not a fan of the bulls, and also one of the reasons the bulls won t win a championship anytime soon.

You're right, In order to win a championship the Bulls need another person that can help Rose score.

I've always told people that Boozer is a bum and does not play good when Derrick Rose is on the floor. Take him out and add someone else, and also I think Taj is would be a great replacement.

Phlip

You know when ELSE Boozer doesn't play very well?

• When he has to defend someone as good as he as billed as being
• When he has to score against someone as good as he is billed as being
• When it is time to perform like someone in his pay scale
• Pretty much any time he is on the court

Boozer is a shitty human being for what he did to Gordon Gund when he left Cleveland.

In Golden State, he was known as Dungina for his lack enthusiasm, inability to perform under pressure, and overall disappointment for failing to fill the potential of a #3 pick (hey, we were suppose to get Yao Ming so we had the right to place high expectations on him like an Asian dad and our disappointment with him is justified).

Still, GS extended him because management felt he just needed more time but he continued to suck. He would fool us into thinking he was coming along with 2-3 good games, but that was followed by 10 bad ones. Eventually, GS traded him to Indiana and he somehow became good, but that only lasted for 1 1/2 years. He started getting injury prone and is regulated to being a role player.

He's a coach's son so he has high bball IQ along with decent size and the ability to hit mid-range jumpers and threes and he can dunk, but he's unable to use all those abilities together to be a really good player. I think he's better suited coming off the bench because he seems to crack under pressure and the expectations of being a starting SF is just too much for him to handle.

I'd say given the situation, Nick Young is a solid pick up.

MWP amnesited.

Is Miami or San Antonio going to pick him up?

revat619

If he clears waivers then he's available to those teams. Right now he'd be going to a lottery team/team under the cap.

Personally i wouldn't have done it. Even with the tax bill, Lakers still stand to profit well over 80 million just from the Time Warner cable deal. So that tax, while hefty, really doesn't matter. They have no other small forward on the roster and after this year everybody is off the books anyway and they wont get hit with the repeat offender tax penalty.

The Lakers biggest problem is defense and they just got rid of one of two people that actually played D last year.....AND Kobe is still side lined....AND D'antoni is still the coach. Jim Bush is a fucking tool. Just let Jeanie, Mitch and Phil (not even as a coach) run the show and keep Dr. Buss's legacy alive.

If he isn't picked up I doubt Miami takes him. No real need for a defensive wing when you have Shane and Lebron. Plus I seriously doubt that he would be cool with being on the "Rashard Lewis plan". SA doesn't really need him either. Ron's days of being a lock down defender are far gone. Maybe Dallas will pick him up, they need all the help they can get.

Scottie Pippen sued for $4M over Malibu fight

What a fool. This guy thinks his injuries are worth $4M? Not sure if Pippen even has that much money left. haha

I guess some people are commenting that this story left out the part where this guy was intoxicated, used racial slurs toward Pippen, spit on Pippen's face, and tried to hit Pippen's daughter.

I really hope Pippen is able to counter sue.

I met Scottie Pippen this past March on a flight back from Chicago. He's the nicest guy! He's seen frequently around Ft. Lauderdale dining and is cool to everyone that comes up to him. That guy suing him isnt getting shit, I find it hard to believe that bums story

Yeah, I have always heard that Scottie was a lot more gracious in granting these kind of requests, even when his family is present. I would sooner believe the story that the guy was drunk, Paula Deen'd him (<-- see what I did there?) and spit on his daughter as is being reported. For those, I do not blame Scottie for busting his shit in the very least.

As a kid I used to collect basketball cards and subscribed to Beckett (a monthly magazine on sport cards and memorabilia). Anyways, it had a feature on the hardest basketball players to obtain autographs from and Pippen was among the most difficult on that list. (I think I even read somewhere that he told a fan that his signature was worth money and refused to sign his items because he said he's just going to turn around and sell them).

He has also earned a reputation as "No Tippin Pippen."

I don't know if he has changed since those days, but he seems like a guy who is not approachable or it depends on his mood.

Agree that the guy deserved to get his ass kicked.

You guys hear that most of the NBA GMs are calling foul on the Kirilenko signing? Supposedly, the consensus is AK47 was looking for a three year deal that paid him $8M/year and everyone is shocked he signs with the Nets for the mini mid-level at $3.3xM or something.

Now all the NBA GMs are calling the league office for an investigation on suspicion of a possible side deal, especially since their billionaire owner hails from Russia, which is known for corruption and bribery.

I guess the possibility of Kirilenko playing for BRK at a discount because he "wants to win and shares a Russian connection with the owner" IS possible...

I was just talking about this with a friend of mine. It's possible, but as sketchy as it sounds, they really have no proof. Kirilenko legally opted out of a deal and signed with the team of his choosing. How much money he takes or doesn't take is really his prerogative regardless of how much sense it does or doesn't make to everyone else. The thing is, if this guy was such a sketch character then why was he allowed to purchase a team in the first place?

Honestly, it sounds to me like the other owners are just pissed because this dude is worth 15 billion dollars and has basically said "Fuck your CBA and luxury tax penalty" and has built his team the way he wanted. They don't have that luxury and now they're mad about it.

Baron Davis, you crazy....

FRpilot

Yea, the Burden of Proof will be difficult for any investigation the NBA comes up with.

Even if Kirilenko didn't get bribed with a lifetime supply of Russian hookers and blow, I find it difficult for any investigation the NBA partakes to come up with a paper trail as proof. It's not like they have the authority to look into Kirilenko's personal accounts and discover that he deposited a few few million that he "might have received under the table" (and that's only for the accounts they know of. Kirilenko can easily open multiple secret accounts that would be impossible to discover).

And yes, his $15B makes Mark Cuban's $2B look like chump change.
