Inb4 Niko comes here hating.

Good signing when playing with DWill.

Disappointing. Spurs should have been pursuing him like hell.

This ISH is old news.

If Blatche and Childress can get their acts together this team will be a handful.

I laughed.

i bet if jay-z comes and talks to him personally, it'll motivate him more than the coach/gm talking to him

I'll be positive then. He was fantastic last year. He was a model citizen, never complained. His team didn't hate him, the fans on this board of his team didn't beg for him to be released, and his team didn't prefer paying him to be gone to paying him to stay.

Happy? All positive.

I'm not surprised you like him, you're a LamarOdom fan, no one dissapears like Lamar can. Blatche is Lamar in training.

Damn, Celts should've made a play for this guy.

You drafted two good bigs and he's a malcontent who negatively affected the Wizards young guys. He's a much better play for the Nets. You are going to play him ahead of your picks?

Celts are a little thin down low. KG, Bass, Wilcox - basically that's it. Well, Collins too I guess.

Sullinger will play some but I dont know if Melo will.

Well, here's to hoping he gets his shit together now that he's on a team that has a mission to win BIG. Also he goes from a nice player's coach in Flip to a hardass in Avery Johnson. He really can either be useful or not, there really is little in between.

I like this because I still am not sold on Mirza being the first big off the bench for us. I am wary about going into the playoffs relying on rookies to play significant minutes.

I actually think the plan is for Mirza to start. I don't remember who told me but it was Net fans on this board.
