Official NBA 2011-2012 Thread - AK47 upgraded to AK 20 Million

Just delete your crappy league and commit to not being a bitch in fun league.

Also I set monta as your keeper and updated the league. If any of you assholes aren’t going to play, TELL ME. Lothar might have disappeared because he is being a lawyer or some shit.

anmesty metta!

76ers unveil three questionable new potential mascots

Can’t wait for season opening to make fun of the Sixers.

My vote goes to the dog at the bottom. Smug overload.

I voted for big ben. BIG BEN!!! Plz trade Iggy to LA to get that Minny #1 pick.

Please trade Iggy to someone and get something for him and then don’t sign Thad and let Turner get thrown into the fire. THEN TANK.

shaq to the knicks?

Holy shit, this is real?

Ghostface Billa, no!

shinblanka never seems to be around either.

Du Fugitive made a really compelling case for the moose.

Mainly because it makes zero sense. That is a great point, but I stick with my BIG BEN vote.

damn the warriors are serious about paul if they’re willing to trade steph curry. i would think that a team of cp3, monta, dorrell wright, david lee, tyson chandler would be a playoff team. holy shit i’m getting my hopes up.

Philly voting so far seems to agree with me.

Vick is going to kill Poochie D so that’s right out.

And Big Ben rapes people.

A moose? makes as much sense as Hip Hop.

Yeah, I’m kind of bummed out they’re ditching Hip-Hop. (IT’S A RABBIT, GET IT!?!)

Poochie is just kind of boring. A dog mascot, come on.

Big Ben I actually think is kind of awesome, like legitimately. I like the idea of a team full of super athletic black guys running back and forth at the behest of a mascot modeled after a dude from an era when slavery was still legal and encouraged. I SAID DE-FENSE, DAMMIT WHIP

The moose is just insane, I don’t understand how that one came up in brainstorming sessions at all, that’s pretty amazing. I could make a list of the top 5,000 things I associate with Philadelphia and a moose would never make it. I think that is why I would vote for it.

I’m amazed we didn’t just get a giant cheesesteak mascot on the list, or a pretzel, or a tastykake or anything else.

I think the reason I want the moose is because a) the dog is Poochie D b) Big Ben is the name of the QB on the OTHER side of the state who also happens to be a rapist. Franklin had lots of sex and lots of kids and such, but he also wanted the turkey to be the national bird and not the bald eagle.

That being said, a turkey would be a great mascot.

Apparently the Moose is winning and that makes me happy.

As long as the moose isn’t a wigger like the rabbit I am fine. I hope he just loves America and dunking and hopefully riding down the stairs on a sled.

So as the lone Pacer fan is this thread… I have to ask… is this having cap space thing… is it natural? LOL. For crying out loud, we’ve spent nearly every season since the brawl in cap hell because we overpaid to dump our problem bastard children on others and now we have enough cap space to nearly buy the universe…And now with new CBA rules allowing for amnesty players to go through something similar to waivers with a blind auction type system… Could… wait hold on…

Could the Pacers actually go out and get people who could… you know… actually help??? I mean a starting five of say Darren Collison, Paul George, Danny Granger, Nene, and Roy Hibbert doesn’t sound too bad to me and if we’re smart we won’t spend all of our cap room and save enough money to make a run at home towner Eric Gordon next year… hey… if we don’t resign Josh McRoberts, tender Greg Oden a nice offer (I like Bill Simmons idea, 3 yrs 30 mil) to play backup to Hibbert and then go after Gordon next season…

Whoa whoa whoa… I think I just discovered what… NBA Hope feels like… AND IT FEELS GOOD :slight_smile:

The biggest obstacle in your dream of signing top tier free agents with your brand new cap space is that top tier free agents must want to actually sign with your team.

That’s a problem inherent with the NBA in general, new CBA or not - if you’re not New York, LA, etc. or an already established title contender, you have to overpay in dollars or years for free agents to sign. Or actually it’s a problem with professional sports in general - it’s generally difficult to create or become a contender entirely through free agency. *

(* Does not apply to any professional sports teams in Miami.)

I looked up Hip-Hop again just to verify your claims of wiggerness, and I forgot how absolutely terrifying he looks.

That upper body definition should not exist on a rabbit, that is majorly fucked up.

Though admittedly the distracting pantless girl in the background takes away from the effectiveness of my point here.

Voted Kangaroo Jack.

Philly fans talking about their mascot and Indy fans talking about hope.
Too BAD because there isn’t any hope of a title until they get a real superstar on that team.

Think I’ll be a little more active in this thread. I watch basketball (I’m a Spurs fan) all the time I just never post in here. Here is a small contribution.

Spurs need talent up in there quick.

So looks like the Lakers will give Jason Kapono a 1 year deal, I am fine with that. Now hurry up and amnesty Luke, I seriously hate Luke, fuck you Luke.

I will not entertain the chris paul/d12 shit, not gonna happen.

You do realize realistic and Laker fan does not go together.
