    Shaq to Dallas?

    Dallas already pays Eric Dampier $11 million a year. If they got Shaq, they would have $31 million dollars tied up in 2 aged Centers that perform way under their contract. Lets not forget though, that Jason Kidd's $21 Million dollar a year deal comes off of Dallas books at the end of the...

    The rebuilding thread.

    Well, I guess I haven't really thought of that. I just assumed that most people here (and around the league) considered him a good center. His numbers aren't bad to just look at them without considering his pay. 17pts and 8 Rebounds a game however, is a terrible return on $20 million.

    24: Day 7

    I'm not huge on the whole Olivia/Taylor thing either. It's just a sub plot that I could take or leave in an otherwise brilliant show. I don't hate it or anything, I just think it's not as interesting as the main plot with Starkwood and the Bio Weapons. Personally, I think it's cool that they're...

    The rebuilding thread.

    Yep, I mixed up the NBA draft with another sport, perfect reason to discount everything I say. Look, if you want to feel that way, then ok, but just keep in mind that I at least tried to contribute something beyond "you're stupid," or the other petty shots this board often falls prey to. If I...

    The rebuilding thread.

    Apparently I did, because I thought it was 4 rounds. Thanks for the heads up, as you can probably tell, I usually don't watch the draft. :D Yes, you're right it would be crazy to buy him out for $20 mil, but that's not usually how it works. The Suns offer him a lower number, something like say...

    The rebuilding thread.

    Problem there is once again money. You would ship $21 Million in contracts for Boozer who makes $11 Million. The Jazz would have to include a slew of other players or someone like Mehmet Okur which they wouldn't do. They might part with Matt Harpring since he's not worth what he makes, but why...

    Does the NBA playoff format need changed?

    That's exactly why. Because it's a West Coast vs. East Coast thing they are trying to reduce travel time and cost. I would rather just see them add an extra off day between travel times and leave it the way the other rounds are set up.

    Does the NBA playoff format need changed?

    The playoff brackets are fine the way they are. I do however agree that the 2-3-2 format for the finals is lame.

    The Playoffs and you

    I see what you're saying elindholm, and you make a very convincing argument. Everything you said about how the rules are applied differently to every player is spot on, and is probably the single biggest part of the problem. My wish is that the league would uphold the rules the way they should...

    The Playoffs and you

    Easy now, I'm not here to troll or anything, but I respectfully disagree with this. You don't think Kobe or Lebron would still be great players even if they weren't allowed to travel every trip up the court? Would Shaq have not been great if he wasn't allowed to elbow people into the front row...

    The rebuilding thread.

    Let's explore that a little.. First of all, Shaq costs $20 million a year, so any team that would take him would have to be able to absorb that contract. Now that would eliminate every team listed unless those teams are willing to go deep into luxury tax land. Let's assume for a moment they...

    Fallout 3

    If you liked Oblivion, you will probably also like Fallout 3. It's very similar in a lot of ways, but obviously in a vastly different setting. Controls and interface are largely similar, the game runs on the same engine (heavily modified.) It's the same open world set up where you can walk...

    Wow.. it costs that much? We used Egg Crate foam, but this was like 10 years ago. I'm sorry, but I don't remember where we got it, I just remember we had a ton of it. I had no idea it was that expensive, if that's the case (and I have no reason to doubt you) then perhaps my idea isn't the best...

    The Playoffs and you

    Fans of every team complain about NBA officiating. Yes, even Laker fans often feel like the league is "out to get us" because of how poorly some games are called. The bottom line is that officiating in the NBA sucks out loud and it effects everyone. If you're passionate about a team, then the...

    Manu Ginobili out for rest of season. (Including playoffs)

    Personally, I think it sucks. I'm not a Ginobli fan at all, can't stand him. Still, I have a hard time rooting for a player to be hurt. Plus there is the the idea that now San Antonio has an excuse when they lose in the playoffs, which they were going to do anyway. Oh well, at least it isn't...

    Fallout 3

    I still have yet to play the new DLC "The Pitt." They took so long to release it that by the time I got it, I was sick of the game. Hopefully one day I'll get around to playing it. As said above, there is a way to save Lucas Simms, there are 2 or 3 approaches to everything in that game. When...

    Need Advice from Musicians or Law Enforcement

    Egg Crate isn't the best solution, but I was giving him a cost effective method. It does deaden sound, I have used it in the past, but there are obvious better solutions. If you just need to quiet it down a little, and you're on a budget it's quick and easy. If it doesn't work, you're out $20...

    Will I post here next season?

    Who cares? You're such an attention whore. Seriously, who starts a poll about rather or not they will post next year? Get over yourself.

    The 2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

    Bynum could return by the end of the week. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4044867 Nice thought, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    I didn't like the way Derrick died either, but come on, the rest of the episode was friggin great.:D

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    I agree, which is why it sucks that it's probably gone. The last few episodes have been really good. I for one, would like to see the story continue.

    The 2008-09 Los Angeles Lakers Thread

    Well, this scenario happened. :D ESPN still has LA 1 back, but that doesn't make any sense. LA was 2 games back, Cleveland lost last night and tonight, while the Lakers won tonight. That should have cut the deficit to half a game not one full game. On a side note, anyone that still subscribes...

    24: Day 7

    It was season 2.. you're right.. :bang: I don't know why I remembered it being a helicopter, as soon as you said it was a plane, I remembered Jack jumping out of said plane over the desert. I must be getting old.:D

    Hell's Kitchen

    And no one will miss her. This contest is between Danny and Paula IMO.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

    Yeah, there is no way they can wrap everything up in one more episode. The writers seem to be playing for the idea of another season, we'll see if the Network decides to agree. On that note.. I'm going to miss Derick Reese. That character was cool. :(
