Can we discuss the 2007 offseason plz?

I do not like the new Hawks uniforms. They look like Team USA jerseys with bad lettering.

The logo looks like it belongs in Arizona.

In the NFL.

Because it looks like the NFL Cardinals' logo.

those unis are such shitty ass bullshit that if you took the bullshit and stacked it up you could build a bridge of shit to the moon. what's so fucked up abt it is that the pac-man throwback unis are already the best in the NBA!!! this really is the most shitass crapfag franchise in the world.

Who is the point shaving ref? It is a mystery..

The point-shaving ref's name is now out in the open: Tim Donaghy. Some mysteries do not last long.

For lack of a better thread into which to put this.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but R.I.P. Eddie Griffin.

Loved him in Undercover Brother. RIP.
First FIBA Americas game tonight! Supposedly Kobe totally sonned Lebron in the 1st intrasquad game. Since Argentina already qualified for the Olympics, their big names aren't gonna play in this tournament. So if USA has any sort of trouble winning the thing, each player must perform seppuku. Which will leave some roster spots open for SickWidIt and The Professor.

As the offseason once more moves ponderously into the preseason, we bid a fond adieu to the offseason thread for another umpteen months, until the offseason comes around again.

Kobe Bryant trade rumors are rife. They are much better entertainment than watching Tim Duncan in meaningless preseason games.

i don't know who the mavs are kidding dangling devin harris and josh howard for him. they should just trade dirk straight up. that dude's gonna having playoff meltdown flashbacks like he was in nam. howard's a beast. could be the pippen to kobe's 23, except slightly shittier.

The problem is that if you trade Dirk you really don't have anyone who could replace him, unless you made another trade or made it a 2:2.

they should go straight midget ball and start stackhouse at center then

i mean, with dirk they will win 60 games and then get shellshocked in crunch time, but with like 6 guards/swingmen running at 100 mph would be fucking terrifying to me, and i think if they don't start anyone over 6'8" i think they can convince the league that harris and jason terry count as one person

I'd certainly watch a lot more Mavs games if that happened.

SEASON TIP OFF TONIGHT!

"Stephen A. Smith" is psyched for it: http://www.hard-wood.org/?p=98
