PickWinnerAllDay · 03-15-12, 02:39 PM

The rapper?

LostBankroll · 03-15-12, 02:41 PM

ima miss nick. watch him turn into a star in la. wizards always let good pieces go.

ttwarrior1 · 03-15-12, 02:43 PM

hmm nick is good, possible contenders now, legit

zsr · 03-15-12, 02:44 PM

Wizards basically gave him away. They were talking about him and javale to Denver for nene, why would they settle on this? Unless Denver said no.

Great trade for clips.

Speedy88 · 03-15-12, 02:45 PM

Great trade for Clipps.

WTF were the Nuggets thinking? I don't know much about the salaries, but my guess is Denver wanted to free up cap space, I'm pretty sure McGee is a FA at the end of the year. Didn't Denver just re-sign Nene not too long ago too?

KingJD31 · 03-15-12, 02:46 PM

wait I though he went to nuggets and mcgee

Yea they just gave him a big deal right before the season.

zoo youk · 03-15-12, 02:48 PM

terrible pick up. this guy is everything thats qrong with nba. will throw up wild shots early in shot clock and completely shoot team out of the game

NBA tv just reported the wizards made this trade instead. Interested to see who pulled out of the Denver deal.

PS3 · 03-15-12, 02:50 PM

They finally found a piece to fill in the 2 spot temporarily while Billups is injured.

LAC to win the Pacific! (-135)

jjgold · 03-15-12, 02:51 PM

He is ok but wild

Great off the dribble guy

Speedy88 · 03-15-12, 02:51 PM

realgm is reporting it as a 3 team deal sending McGee to Denver, Nene to Washington and Young to LAC. Which is it?

Is real GM normally legit? David Aldridge just reported this live on the air, he could be wrong.

zsr · 03-15-12, 02:56 PM

I see that yahoo woj guy is reporting it as 3 teamer too.

NBAtv probably wrong.

Strange move for Denver. Wizards trying to dump all the problem guys I guess.

I'm seeing it everywhere as a 3 team deal.

they alredy had a guy in Foye. i would hope Young isnt going to take his spot amd just play limited minutes with the 2nd unit to give them some scoring. guy is not a starter, will destroy the team, when he gets minutes he throws up about 20 shots a game all long rqnge jumpers early in shot clock

Yea i am too now. No clue what NBAtv was talking about.

Weird move for Denver after resigning nene, but javale is a beast.

rm18 · 03-15-12, 03:03 PM

He is a good shooter and tough to guard but only a scorer not good all around player

Understatement there. The guy is a "Matador" on defense.

oiler · 03-15-12, 04:38 PM

also seen toronto traded barbosa to indiana,toronto lost their whole offense

I agree he's not a solid player, but he's young and can easily be formed into a good player with a good coach and finally descent minded players. McGee definately didn't teach him anything in Washington.

DudleyDawson · 03-15-12, 07:25 PM

never heard of nick young or any of the other guys mentioned in this thread, wtf

Bluehorseshoe · 03-15-12, 09:51 PM

Michael Wilpon....

You can't fool Nick Young, because he's not paying attention!

The Giant · 03-15-12, 09:57 PM

I'm a big Clippers fan. I was actually hoping for Ray Allen.

Nick Young is a pretty selfish ballplayer, hopefully CP3 can rein him in.

wantitall4moi · 03-15-12, 10:11 PM

on the road so not checking in too much.

Meh pick up I was really thinking Clippers were going to move a few guys and try to get Howard. But Orlando does a braindead move and believed he will stay. LMAO.

Lakers dumped a ton of salary but couldnt get rid of their biggest...Gasol. but they traded fisher which was a good move even though people are pissed about it. But Lakers got their first choice guy in Sessions so lets see what that does for them, my prediction... nothing short term. But conning Cavs into taking Luke Walton was some sort of brainwashing maneuver thats for sure. They made a so so effort to get beasely for next to nothing but they could Jedi Mind trick those guys like they could Cleveland I guess.

Lakers basically traded away the only things they had that were worth anything...their draft picks. bad move for what they got, but like I said a month ago theyre dumping salary, so basically they said here is Walton and a first rounder give us that whirl pool machine over there. A la Jackie Moon.

Nuggets basically had a fire sale, for a team that was in a decent spot a month ago they really are shit now.

Clippers need a new coach first and foremost, too bad Vinnie wouldnt quit or get fired. But he has the stroke I guess. Hard watching these guys struggle late in games that they should be blowing guys out in if they had the right approach for the whole game. But this guy isnt going to help if he keeps up his ball hogging kobe bryant style of play and jacks up every tie he gets the ball.

Thats it that will have to stand til next week sometime as i wont be around.

rm18 · 03-15-12, 10:24 PM

Never heard of a guy who scores 18 a game or so

HoulihansTX · 03-15-12, 10:28 PM

Now Clippers have two gunners in Mo, and Nick. Sigh*

Howard waved his opt out he is locked in until 2013 now

Bill Dozer · 03-16-12, 01:14 AM

They say he has been a good defender and by the looks of tonight's game (yes, it was a back to back) they can use some help on D. The Clips realy looked terrible on the interrior especially.

H1Cypher · 03-16-12, 01:45 AM

Good pick up. No telling how he does coming off the bench- could be a double bagel or a good acquisition. Talented scorer. Love it how bad teams always give up good pieces cause they don't know how to develop young players all though he's been in the league for some time now.

He's just the opposite. He's a bad defender who's a shoot first, wingman.

rm18 · 03-16-12, 12:16 PM

Bad defender but simply because of size might be an upgrade over Foye and Williams on defense he would be harder to post up.

zoo youk · 03-16-12, 12:27 PM

he's basically a very very poor mans Jamal Crawford but does not make nearly as much shots as Crawford and takes worse shots than Jamal...if thats even possible.
