looks like melo is leaving denver. i bet he gets traded prior to the start of this season. is it going to be melo mania right after the decision?

I think it'd be a smart move for Denver to get what they can for him now. Cause hes already got his bags packed, hes ready to be gone when his contract expires.

they will. i wouldn't be surprised if they wait till the trade deadline for someone desperate though. 100% chance he gets traded and i would say 50/50 odds on before or during the regular season.

anyone else watching the FIBA championships this summer? so far just exhibitions have been on but i was surprised at the level of enthusiasm shown by the players on both teams. i just watched spain v usa and it went down to the wire. rubio looked great. can he come to the nba already? the tourney starts in a bit over a week. it is exciting to see how team usa grows throughout the whole process. they clearly are individually better players. however, the other teams have a lot of experience playing as a team. team usa is thrown together. can they figure how to play together by the tourney?

Man I can't wait for the NBA to start... No favorite team, just a huge NBA fan. And I love betting on the NBA too

I'd be shocked it anyone but the Heat and Lakers meet in the finals... Lakers are easily going to run the west, especially with the Suns losing Amare, the Spurs getting old, and I never take the Nuggets all that seriously. especially when Karl went out with his problems and this year I think 'Melo will be more disinterested with his free agency coming up.

Heat will have to go through Boston and the Magic but i think they can do it. LeBron and Wade on Pierce and Rondo... Bosh to matchup VS KG. I don't think Boston will be as big of a threat as the Magic.... even though I don't think Dwight is as good as people think. He's still so basic offensively, he's NOT a dominant scorer by any means. And I think he gets screwed on a lot of foul calls as well... but the Magic's 3 shooters always keep em dangerous.

lebron's posse is fucking stupid.

first the decision.

now he is retweeting haters to motivate him or something? i just checked it and saw this retweet: "RyanOutrich @KingJames continuation to my last tweet, u r a big nosed big lipped bug eyed n-word. ur greedy, u try to hide ur ghettoness."

shouldn't there be some kind of filter for that language? how many kids follow his tweets? c'mon man.

LeBron caught SOOO much hate for The Decision. I don't really understand all the hate aside from Cavs fans who feel betrayed. He is on top of the pop culture pyramid in society. He is the most recognizable athlete in American sports, so for him to do that wasn't really that absurd to me. It drew in a huge audience and he got to say what he wanted to say to everyone. I think LeBron is incredibly genuine in what he says. He is doing what is best for himself, he doesn't owe Cleveland a damn thing. If Cleveland wold have put a championship team around him, he might have stayed. Instead they went out and got bums like Jamison and Shaq.

It's not like he tweeted that... He is just showing the hate he has been receiving. He never got this hate with the Cavs. LBJ is more motivated than ever, and I can not wait til he goes back to Cleveland because he is going to be on a mission to absolutely dominate that game in every aspect.
