What if Rose decides to play and they STILL lose

Its gonna be a lose lose situation if he plays or doesnt play either way

If they lose with him people gonna say he messed up the chemistry and shoulda came back earlier

If they lose with out him they gonna say ur whole team is hurt and sick and fighting while you healthy on the bench

Why no one answered my question about WHO will give Iguodala $10M?

There is really no team that makes much sense this offseason. Detroit may possibly give him the money, but I'm expecting them to make a run at OJ.

dallas, milwalkee, sign and trades, rox might strike out on open market , hawks,charlotte , cavs, suns, jazz.

Why would Utah throw money at Iguodala when they have plenty of G/F's already, PG is their main need and they may end up keeping one of Jefferson and Millsap?

Rockets? Why would they want him when they have Parsons?

Charlotte has MKG. They don't need another guy who can't score the ball on a consistent basis. They want a big man if anything.

I pretty much went through all of these teams in another post. Milwaukee will throw money at Iguodala to do what? I don't see why Dallas would get him unless Marion opts out of his deal. Also, we already know who Dallas main priority this summer will be along with Atlanta.

You just named all of the teams who wil have capspace this offseason. That doesn't mean they would want Iguodala The only team I could actually see going after him would be Cleveland. If they ended up making a strong push to get Lamarcus Aldridge like the rumor mentioned, then I could see them trying to bring in Iguodala as well. Pairing Kyrie / Iggy / Aldridge / Zeller together would be good.

No other team really makes sense IMO.

Thought it'd go 7 and the Nuggets would pull it out but they folded much quicker in the end. Either way a fools gold team won. I don't expect them to beat the Spurs. I know ppl will say they're old and all that but who they should be focused on is Green, Neal, and that other guy. TP, Timmy, and Manu are a smokescreen. Think it'll end in 5 or 6 depending on by how much Pop out coaches Mark.

How are the warriors fools gold your misusing the term

The nuggets were fools gold cause most people had them as legit title contendors while the warriors are just riding out

There is actually an interview where Ty Lawson said they could beat the Heat in the finals

Nah, I had both teams labeled as fools gold from the jump. I said the best thing that could've happened to them is facing each other in the 1st round cuz that way one team that aint real would get to the 2nd round.

How are they fools gold? Nobody gave them a shot in the 1st round

I wasn't aware of that. I'm going off the hype they've been getting all season.

If they lose with him people gonna say he messed up the chemistry and shoulda came back earlier

If they lose with out him they gonna say ur whole team is hurt and sick and fighting while you healthy on the bench

What if he plays and they win? and he gets injured again?

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

And Warriors pulled it off without David Lee. We're playing with house money

Nobody gonna mention chemistry when half the team is injured

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Seriously.

Iggy can be great offensive player on a semi-decent team

He's never been that in his career, playing for mostly semi-decent teams, but okay.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

This Rose stuff is dumb. I made my comment few pages back, staying with it. Pooh knows his body better than anyone on Earth, let him be.

And why is anyone talking about who is gonna sign Iggy this year. Ain't no way he declines that option.

Rockets announce Carlos Delfino -- one of their trio of KD defenders along with Cisco Garcia & Chandler Parsons -- out for rest of playoffs

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 9m
Rockets say scan performed yesterday on Delfino revealed bone fracture in his right foot that will require surgery this offseason

And another one bites the dust. I cannot remember another post-season like this one with all the injuries, illnesses, etc. Its crazy.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Too many injuries to key players in the playoffs

Big blow to the Rockets. One less defender and one less shooter for them. I wonder who would take his place in the rotation.

 

[coldcity]

without delfino there wouldnt be a thunder game on today they would be watching the other 3

 

[duba169]

Time for LINSANITY

 

[antidope]

A must watch

have we not learned from countless summers a team will use that cap and overpay a player. for the teams that strike out on howard and aldridge, you think they're just gonna sit on that money ? dumars cap space was burning a hole in his pocket years back and you saw how that went. 

 

[licensed to ball]

Time for LINSANITY BEVERLANITY

Fixed

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Mchale should see what Trob or Donatas could provide. Dude are just languishing on that bench.

Well, well, well. DipsetGeneral was correct. (Speaking in third person). Denver get outed in the first round yet again. I cannot be so critical of them however, because their leading scorer was missing in action with an ACL tear.

Derrick Rose should make a widely-talked about appearance and suit up for game 7 in Barclays. Does dude realize how much BS he's gonna receive from the media when decimated Chicago was up 3-1 and squander a safe lead against the Nets?!?! Who were actually the favorite to win this series?!

Yo Derrick, if you can hear me doggie... Just suit up at least. Play like 10-15 mins and try to provide some help for your team. You will not be able to handle all the crap Chicago media and media across the country is gonna bring your way!

well actually almost everyone knows about denver and their first round exists people just got caught up in the moment

its been a full year since rose played?

man smh if the bulls lose to the nets

i thought maybe the bulls could atleast win a game or two against miami. nets gonna get swept so hard :x

Yeah y'all were caught up in the moment.

 

[frink85]

What if he plays and they win? and he gets injured again?

the problem is, thats probably the only thing running through his mind. sooner or later (hopefully sooner) he's gonna have to find a way to get over this. not a lot of good careers that only require a fake ACT score

also, did anyone else find this Deng tweet eyebrow raising?

Deng later tweeted: "Now I'm back in the ER where I may have to spend the night... I want my teammates and Bulls fans to know I would NEVER miss a game bc of flu.

are people really calling him out on it? or is he sending subliminals...? (im probably reaching there, but the tweet seemed odd to me)

Might as well. They should have held onto Patterson though. That trade was kind of dumb imo.
