The value of Howard went straight to the gutter as soon as he admitted he wants out, just look at what Magic got back in this trade? :fuckthatshit: ... scrubs and low draft picks for the top center in the league! Hence the reason I despise LBJ (can't deny his talent but he's still a moron) ... why keep the Cavs in the dark until the very last possible minute and then crush their hopes?... what ever happened to loyalty and respect? A city that poured their hearts out for him for 8 years and he couldn't even give them the decency of letting them know he wants to play else where, or give them a chance to at least trade him for some picks. Instead he rips their hearts out. Now look at Cavs, basement dwellers of the NBA for years to come ... I feel sorry for them. Quote:

Would be boring as hell to watch. You do realize terrible teams who made terrible management decision have already been awarded season after season with high draft picks? | What's the point of awarding them all these high picks when the PLAYERS that are drafted don't even want to play for that team??

Anyways, why the hell are the opposing countries bothering to face off against the dream team.
Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Westbrook, and that unibrow guy.
You'll need at least 30 white guys on each player to even stand a chance. Might as well quit and spare yourself the humiliation. | First of all they are NOT the Dream Team, not even close, as Sir Charlies put it best:
"This team would crush the Dream Team by 70 points ..... IF WE PLAYED TODAY!"
As for the rest of your post ... :seriously: :facepalm: |
