If this is the case, Morey, if you are lurking, why have you paid max dollars for a black hole on defense? I thought you wanted to win a title?

Certainly not ISH.

[Smook A.]

That's actually pretty cool.

[DMAVS41]

I know Simmons lurks here. He used a couple specific trade ideas that we had all been talking about for weeks on one of the Countdown shows.

Coming here to get ideas is actually pretty smart in my opinion...

[Levity]

there was a thread a few years back where some poster made a random ass trade idea with, i want to say, the wizards and pelicans(hornets at the time)

i think it revolved around okafor and ariza, though i could be completely wrong. anyhow, a few days after that random, but seemingly decent trade idea, the trade actually happened

anyone remember this?

[DMAVS41]

Haha. I know.

I'd love to have him post on here and defend not trading Asik this season to at least get better this season and free up cap space this summer to improve a team that is hardly far away from being an elite level contender.

[hawksdogsbraves]

Morey the GOAT GM :bowdown:

[Basketbolero]

They also come for the laughs of some ridiculous trade ideas posted here. They probably know dudes like elgringos and hawkfan by name already

[Pushxx]

All the GMs laugh at Hawkfan's trade scenarios over lunch on occasion.

[Jameerthefear]

It's good to know that celebrities are reading my posts in particular and getting ideas from them. This is no surprise to me. Note for any GM reading this: My inbox is just a click away. We can talk business at the click of a button.

Not trading Asik baffles me, the team has a legit chance at contending and are a piece away from winning it all in my opinion, he could have turned Asik into something nice, instead he kept him and now they have to ride with him into the playoffs, this move (or lack of) cost them this year.

Yeah. It was Rashard Lewis for Okafor's expiring, lemme dig that up

Who can we get at the moment?
Durant? hell no
LeBron? fuq no
Carmelo? nah
CP3? Nope
K.Love? nah
BG? He's not leaving la
LMA? naaahh
Curry? nope

Harden is a top 10 player. He's a good post defender but not a good on-ball one. 25/6/5 shooting 46/37/85. If we can't get anyone else then why not stick with Harden. He's 24 and hasn't even reached his full potential

Half those guys I listed don't even play D.
Why don't people ever complain about them? psh... I got no clue

Not gonna happen. The Lakers have a strict 'no neck, no contract' policy.

Melo could have actually happed (as long as Dwight signed), maybe could have convinced him to take a little less to bring in someone with him, I dunno, I just think max dollars for Harden is a little too much (I understand that was the only way they were going to get him though)

[Jameerthefear]

I wonder if we can get them to say more. Like specific trades. Think any of them go on ISH?

We are assuming the bolded and it may as well not be true. I think he was asked to take back a bad contract in exchange or just did not feel the trade would improve the team enough to make it worth it.

[Black and White]

Why are you laughing? He is agreeing that your "stars" will leave your team like the others :oldlol:

I am pretty sure he was offered some decent trades at the start of the season, they got worse as the season went on

Houston isnt a title contender, sorry. But true La and Boston suck right now but for obvious reasons that will be amended soon by picks, some restructuring or injuries.

[oarabbus]

Dolan probably doesn't visit this message board very often, his ideas are even worse than the ones here :lol

[Basketbolero]

They couldn't predict Asik was going to be an a$$hole about the situation and make his trade value plummet because of it.

I'm James Dolan irl guys

brb trading Melo for four fried chickens and a coke

[mattvNJ]

They couldn't predict Asik was going to be an a$$hole about the situation and make his trade value plummet because of it.
Asik got shafted in that situation. Was promised the starting spot, then was jerked around about being trade told he was and then wasnt. Id be pissed too especially when your signed to be the starting center. Guess i cant feel too bad for him bc he got paid based on his on-going player growth

[outbreak]

I believe the president of the euroleague actually posts here from time to time.

yeah I don't feel bad for him considering how much he's being paid.

I understand that but he fvcked up. If he shuts his mouth he is now starting for some team, if that's all he wanted. Instead, he is stuck on the bench playing for a team where everybody knows he doesn't want to be there.

Agreed. He's getting paid so I don't feel TOO bad, but I still feel bad. Dude got played by the Rockets, shoulda been a starter somewhere this year.

Not even a small chance they come out the west. OKC, SA, GS, LAC, MEM, and possibly POR will wipe the floor with them :wtf: A title contender is a team with a legit shot to win it all. Not a small-no shot

That would be horrid because neither him nor Dwight can shoot. That would cause some retarded spacing problems. T-jones has sick potential from what I see.

I meant that he would start for whatever team he would have been traded to. front court lineup of the start of the season was a stupid idea all the way.

Nah was real against the Kidd move, and KG. Had them as second rounders at best with Kidd behind the helm + age.

and i was a fan since the NJ days not just a BK nut rider lol, went to the final game at Prudential, been to tons of games. Nice try bud. Also love the strategy of someone disagreeing with you so call them un-knowledgable.

edit: and basketbolero very true. I think Asik is a nice player.

You sound so retarded. You act like we aren't the f**king 4th seed in the f**king WESTERN CONFERENCE. 48-22 B*TCH! record speaks for itself! FYI Mr.knowitall we are 3-0 against the spurs, 2-1 against portland and warriors. The only f**king teams who have a legit chance to beat us are the thunder and clippers. Probably spurs too but we're good against them. If you say the warriors, blazers and even memphis are better than Houston then you my friend are a legitimate f**king retard!

I just think Harden will shoot you guys out the playoffs. The grizz are on a roll, blazers looked prime earlier in the season. Spurs would rock you in the playoffs, as would OKC.

Did you just hear what I said about the spurs? I just told you we are 3-0 against them this season. Only team in the entire NBA to not lose to them so far. It's like nets vs heat. 3-0.

Spurs haven't beaten the Rockets since last season. Spurs wouldn't "rock" us. We'd definitely put up a fight. Houston was troubles against okc and clipps.

James Harden has been playing lights out lately if you've actually been paying attention.

Im well aware you said that. Even with the Nets being 3-0 against the reigning champion heat i dont think we stand a chance against them. Just like i dont think you guys stand a chance against the playoff spurs. Its an opinion, and i know he has been playing well, the spurs are also on a 14 win streak. I watch basketball avidly, play avidly. You bringing up statistics, and random variables doesnt change the fact I, along with others probably dont find the Rockets to be REAL contenders.

lolwat..realgm has 20X the traffic/dedicated members over insidehoops. it's actually moderated and tilted towards legitimate basketball discussion, not incessant trolling over bullshit. there's a reason it's worth like 50X more than insidehoops. realgm is worth >20 million, ish is like 100k


What? Can you provide evidence for the bolded? Judging by the "view count" on the main NBA forum of each site...... we got a LOT more viewers here at ISH.

[Shade8780]

Milbuck is one of my favourite posters :lol

Let's not kid ourselves though, if a GM looked at this board for trade ideas, he'd lose enough brain cells to get himself fired.

[Smook A.]

:lol :oldlol: :roll: :facepalm :rolleyes: :biggums: :wtf:

NBA general managers and you come up with celebrities...............

Put down the pipe already Jameer........
I think you're the one who needs to lay off the drugs. You said V-Span is the best PG in the world. You deserve no credibility after saying stupid shit like that.

[Euroleague]

Harden is a top 10 player.

[Shade8780]

He's clearly referring to realgm which literally has a subforum dedicated to trades and transactions with 1000's of posts daily, which are all extremely well researched.

ISH is a joke when it comes to serious NBA discussion
lol yeah.

[Euroleague]

Houston isnt a title contender, sorry. But true La and Boston suck right now but for obvious reasons that will be amended soon by picks, some restructuring or injuries.

I think you mean by some "lucky" ball bounces......

:rolleyes:

Makes me wonder if Stern actually got the idea to nix the Paul deal in 2011 from here :roll:

Have you thought about joining comedy?

Let me rephrase it.

The Rockets won't ever win jack shit as long as Morey is the GM. Because they will reap what they sow, from what Morey did to the world's BEST PLAYER, Spanoulis.

Ok stop. Stop right there. What THE HELL makes you think Spanoulsuck is the best player in the world? The best players on Earth are IN THE NBA. Not the Euroleague. Span sucked in the NBA. Good players dont just randomly get cut by a team.

Im sure any f**king GM would cut that guy.

It's weird, you'd think the "best player in the world" would last more than 31 games against the pros, and would put up more than a measly 2.7ppg on a horrific 31% shooting. You would also think that he would currently be playing against the pros in the NBA, and not against washed up scrubs in Europe, bouncing from amateur league to amateur league.

[Euroleague]

That was a really weak comeback.

How was that a comeback? I was not coming back at anyone genius. Are you saying Morey isn't fat?

[Smook A.]

Since you got my thread removed, explain to me in non-bitch language what was wrong with comparing Jones and Lillard PER 36 in contrast to comparing Harden and Westbrook last year?
Jones and Lillard are two completely different players. Totally different positions. If you wanted to compare someone to Jones it should've been someone like Thaddeus Young. They're very comparable.

[oarabbus]

Since you got my thread removed, explain to me in non-bitch language what was wrong with comparing Jones and Lillard PER 36 in contrast to comparing Harden and Westbrook last year?

They're both guards, you fcking neanderthal. Are you in remedial education classes? Dear god, I hope some kind teacher can identify your disabilities and help you someday.


Let's not even get started on the flaws regarding per-36 comparisons between players who play considerably different minutes, because you aren't capable of understanding it.

[Smook A.]

Doesn't matter if hes fat. He's one of the smartest GMs in the league along with Masai Ujiri, Danny Ainge and couple more guys. It's all about that intelligence

Piss off. You just claimed Harden is a top 10 NBA player. You are so insane there are no words to even describe it.

And Spanoulis..........the ONLY player in the world I even think about putting on his level is Durant.

PERIOD.

Spanoulis MIGHT be better than a few second string PGs in the NBA. I can't think of any at the moment, but Spanoulis might rank 57-59th out of the 30 starting PGs and their backups.

You would think the franchise player of the Milwaukee Bucks would be a little better than the 4th to 5th best player on a team in Greece's version of the D-League..........

Almost as pathetic as Harden's defense and passing ability.

He's supposed to be so smart, yet he can't in all these years get past the 2nd round of the playoffs...............yeah right.

Keep drinking the kool aid.

And actually it does matter, because fat people, on average, have lower IQs.

[oarabbus]

You can LITERALLY say that about any COMPARISON LeBron-Kobe Magic-Bird but instead you bitched up a storm because the stats were strikingly close. You stupid incoherent following simple-minded ****. Nothing is wrong with comparing ANY players but you wanted to bring fan hood into the conversation. Go ****ing drink bleach.


:lol

LeBron/Kobe/Magic/Bird are all LEGENDS. You can argue who's greater between legends, say Magic and Kareem. But everyone will call you a fcking imbecile if your evidence for Kareem's superiority is he averages more blocks and rebounds with a higher FG% than magic, which is basically exactly what you did :roll:


You cannot compare per-36s to players who play differing minutes. Per-X comparisons only work between players playing similar minutes.

I guess that's why Parker had dinner with him and told him Popovich specifically asked him to stay with the team.............

Yeah, makes sense..............

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

I guess it also explains how Adelman asked he stay with the Rockets in the first place and not even be traded at all........

Piss off.

[oarabbus]

Yes, and each time it's explained someone points out that Spanoulis averaged 2.7 points in the NBA

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

whew, had to catch my breath there, so Spanoulis averaged 2.7/0.9

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

sorry, what I'm trying to say is that people respond that Spanoulis put up worse-than-scrub stats, and you realize he was fcking garbage.

Van Gundy sabotaged his NBA career. Something that you, a person that suffers from psychosis is incapable of grasping.

You actually believe that the best Euroleague player of all time would not even be a top 60 NBA point guard...........

That proves that you are insane. It proves that you are incapable of grasping the situation and circumstances and that you simply are nuts.

[Smook A.]

Euroleague, theres a reason why no one on this forum likes you. You make the stupidest posts. I have NEVER seen anyone back your argument up. EVER

[Euroleague]

Retarded post.

Some intellegent GMs never win anything until about a decade or two with the team. It's not easy to win a championship, you moron.

If he was actually a "genius" it would be incredibly EASY to win, and he would have done so a long time ago you moron. If he was even in the least bit as "intelligent" as you claim, he would have already done so, within say 5 years or so.

Considering the other general managers are mostly retarded.

And here you are continuing to claim he's a genius, and arguing about this over and over, and still pretending in this ludicrous fairy tale. Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you are a drooling retard.

An actual genius, in the position of an NBA general manager, would win the NBA title within 2 years, at absolute worst case scenario 3. In reality, it should take no more than 1-2 years.

For it to take over 10-20, as you suggest, is absolutely absurd. You are a complete freaking idiot.

The majority of the people on realgm don't post or view the general board. Take the Knicks forum for instance, there were 800 posts and 8000 views on that Knicks-Lakers game last night. And that was on the freaking knicks SUBFORUM.

In comparison, there were 66 posts and 1500~ views for the Knicks-Lakers thread on ISH's mainboard, which is the only sports board that's used frequently.

Also you can get websites values on the internet. Realgm is well over 20 million

I'm pretty sure Google's search results are indexed and ranked according to some algorithm they use and everyone who searches a specific term will get the same results exactly.

Not true. I don't pretend to know exactly what their formula is but I am certain that geographic location also plays a part... I am sure there are more factors than that.

Not true. I don't pretend to know exactly what their formula is but I am certain that geographic location also plays a part... I am sure there are more factors than that.


Nah, it's true. Yeah, your geographic location plays a part into the targeted ads... not the search/indexing algorithm. Of course, if you search "Best Buy" it'll return Best Buys near you, but the actual page ranking doesn't change.






Academic citation literature has been applied to the web, largely by counting citations or backlinks to a given page. This gives some approximation of a page's importance or quality. PageRank extends this idea by not counting links from all pages equally, and by normalizing by the number of links on a page.

PageRank is defined as follows:
We assume page A has pages T1...Tn which point to it (i.e., are citations). The parameter d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1. We usually set d to 0.85. There are more details about d in the next section. Also C(A) is defined as the number of links going out of page A. The PageRank of a page A is given as follows:
PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

Note that the PageRanks form a probability distribution over web pages, so the sum of all web pages' PageRanks will be one.

PageRank or PR(A) can be calculated using a simple iterative algorithm, and corresponds to the principal eigenvector of the normalized link matrix of the web. Also, a PageRank for 26 million web pages can be computed in a few hours on a medium size workstation. There are many other details which are beyond the scope of this paper.

ISH is #1 because it has the highest classification to the term "basketball" or "nba forum" or whatever you search.
