Official NBA 2012-2013 Thread - Bored Until October

Twitter is blowing up with tweets about Calderon going to the Lakers. I’m laughing my head off since I’m guessing some Raptor fan probably started it, yet also shaking my head in disappointment because the rumor is fake.

calderon would be a great backup for the lakers. rotoworld says that they’re actively shopping blake and duhon so maybe the stories are connected.

I just want him gone and I’ll be happy.

He’s like that pimple on your ass that’s been there for far too long.

I suppose the best thing about the Raptors is that chicks want to wear their merchandise.

Those are some really thick eyebrows. She might as well draw them longer and connect them together so they turn into a fearsomely hot unibrow.

It’s probably a Lakers troll over a Raptor Troll. Mark Stein wrote an article the other day about the Lakers wanting to get rid of both Blake and Duhon.

Blake-Duhon-Clark for Calderon has been posted on nearly every Laker fan site since then.

Hey VS can you change the draft date, I think I may be going to Vegas that weekend and play craps and bet on the Raptors in 4 so I might not be able to make it

^ Why bother. Just let your team auto-pick. You can con people into helping you create a super-team later with trades, as usual.

lol jump offs are hilarious:

A New Jersey appeals court ruled Friday that the former girlfriend of Brooklyn Nets CEO Brett Yormark cannot sue him for allegedly failing to keep promises he made on the condition that she have an abortion.
The court ruled that while Reyna Purcell’s decision may have been influenced by Yormark, the final decision to end the pregnancy was hers…Purcell claimed Yormark promised to stay in the relationship and take her on vacation if she had an abortion, according to the ruling.
Purcell had an abortion in February 2011, according to the ruling, and Yormark ended the relationship soon after…
no basketball wives for you!

The only way Kim doesn’t win shitty ass Ghost division is if auto-pick fucks him over. I wouldn’t mind a date change…Oh and stay away from black jack. Good luck my dude.

You just mad I won the Baseball league just like me and Boel will win the championship this year.

Are you kidding me?

Blue Ball Comes Slowly.

Damn sucks to be Carpet Lint.

Never win anything in his life. Poor man.

Well he is Canadian, that explains that.

yeah the inherent introverted mediocrity inherent in Canadasians is kinda sad to witness.

Man everyone bets on that and the odds are like, 1-to-2. If you wanna make some guaranteed money bet on the Bobcats to start 1-0.

Stealing money Non-African American player edition?

"Coaches of the Houston Rockets have expressed displeasure with Jeremy Lin’s rehabilitation efforts from left knee surgery.

Lin allowed Russell Westbrook to score 19 points in 16 first-half minutes last Wednesday.

“More than a problem with his knee, what I saw again from Lin is that he is limited as an athlete,’’ was how one person with years of NBA experience put it after seeing Lin’s preseason debut. “Offensively, he should be fine. But when he has to guard opposing point guards, especially guys with speed like Russell Westbrook, he is going to really struggle.’’

Lin cites problems with his knee for his early struggles with the Rockets.

“My speed and my explosiveness and my agility (are not) there yet,” he said the other day.

“I’m still trying to recover from knee surgery and get to where I was pre-surgery,’’ Lin said.

Perhaps wisely, he didn’t venture a guess as to what percentage his knee is feeling, at this point.
Lin didn’t have microfracture surgery or tear his ACL, so we can now safely assume that he’s one of the world’s slowest healers. But let’s also remember that even before his storybook career in New York effectively ended against the Pistons, he was anything but a premier athlete. Any problem he might have because of the knee in the future is going to make the Rockets’ $25 million investment look even more ridiculous than it did last July.
