    Brad Miller never had the post skills that Hawes has. Seroiusly. A big that can really score on the block and pass well out the double team but doesn't rebound or block shots that well. Where the hell else would he fit better than Chicago where they have guys like Thomas and Wallace who can rebound and block shots with the best of them? Dumb move by Chicago.

    Nope. Amir Johnson, Antonio McDyess, Rasheed Wallace, and whats his face(name is escaping me right now) They are 4-5 deep at the Center and PF position. They need to get some shooting help and someone that can create their own shot off the dribble.

    What team is going to trade a lowpost scorer(which chicago needs) for Anderson Varajo with better passing ability?

    Then they will just take Critteron or trade the pick to Seattle. they will be fine.

    How in the hell is that better than Hawes. Hawes can actually score on the block. Noah can block shots, play with alot of energy and rebound....kinda like Ben Wallace or Tyrus Thomas...you know...those guys that Chicago already has. Chicago needed this pick about as much as Charlotte needed theirs. They should have traded their picks.

    The last thing Charlotte needs is this pick.

    Corey brewer huh.... The guy is completely worthless on offense without the ball in his hands. He is a good defender though. But Randy Foye...Corey Brewer...whats the difference besides 3 inches.

    Durant can play the two guard, I don't know if he can defend it, but he seems like he could

    Did he just call Yi 50 cent?

    Alrighty, the Bucks now have Bogut, Vill, Yi for their front court with Redd and some one at point.

    Yeah, thats a pretty good move for Boston. Starting line up of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Jefferson and Mystery man(I guess Perkins). Gives them one HELL of a starting 4 in the East. Plus with who the fuck do you double off of? ... Well, I guess Rondo, but his shot is going to improve.
  13. Austin should have a statement saying beer had nothing to do with this. Beer only makes you beat your wife not kill'em, right Steve?
  14. Sigh, so there is this other douce on CNN right now who is a expert because he used to take Anabolic steroids there fore he knows that "definately, no doubt about it that steriods played a role in this". Its sad, because steroids are such a fucked up drug, you aren't going to get many people arguing the real truth behind them because it would come off like arguing drunk driving isn't really THAT bad.

    Without the ability to work out at the same level as he could in college? And with out the competition and rigors of college practices readying his body for more physical contact? He was not going to put on that muscle mass working out in a high school gym in Alabama.
  16. And someone that just smoked crack could have had a heart attack because of their eating habits, but chances are, it was the fucking crack. POSSIBLE side effects of prolonged steroid use vs. Definite side effects of multiple concussions. I am sure steroids didn't help any, but wrestlers more than anyone cycle the things now (unlike in the 80's when they were constantly on them) and are far less likely to suffer from the side-effects. Plus with implementing things like HGH into it, its almost a little antiquated to still be considering ROIDED UP JUICER GOING CRAZY as the cause when there is a much much much MUCH MUCH more probable excuse staring you right in the eyes. You have numerous examples of the exact same symptoms manifesting themselves in people who have been frequently concussed and not treated. People keep talking about all the wrestlers that died but ignore the fact that most of them were a product of 80's juicing. Most of them weren't educated in the "safe" way to utilize steroids then. Most of the designer steroids that are around today weren't invented yet. They did more damage to themselves in 5 years than a new user today would do in 20 utilizing cycling. Not condoning steroid use in anyway, but this after school special belief that you take a shot and turn into the incredible hulk is just a little dated now. Now, you are still damaging your body to some degree, but not nearly as bad as you did before. Getting clocked in the head over and over is just as dangerous today as it was 20 years ago, and beniot has been getting clocked in the head for that long. The paranoia, the obviously out of character psychotic episode he had, all point with big flashing neon lights towards chronic traumatic encephalopathy. I will acknowledge that there is a slight chance that steroids played a bigger part in this. But the media wanting to jump on the steroid angle are missing the more painfully obvious alternative that really needs more attention.
  17. Sigh. All the guys saying "well, steriods obviously had something to do with it" or even "probably had something to do with it" are really starting to work my fucking nerves. Getting clocked in the head for 22 years would be the most REASONABLE cause for any demensia, depression, or mood swings. As Chris Nowinski said, Chris was one of those sick fucks that took chair shots to the back of the head which is just plain insane. In 22 years of headbutting, bump taking, chairshoting, I don't think it would be an exaggeration to assume that chris probably suffered 20+ concussions, some treated and some not. Then you have dumbasses like Luger and Chyna who talk like they are some type of fucking experts.

    He is a better defender, shooter, rebounder, and has a better back to the basket game than Amare. Plus Amare takes ALOT of plays off, something Garnett doesn't do. So basically he does everything Amare does better than Amare, plus he can defend and consistantly rebound well.

    They are saying Kurt thomas so that they can clear capspace. They do have alot of young players they are going to have to extend within the next few years.
  20. Really though...That's a little too Coincidental Who else not connected with the WWE in Stamford would've known that? Its the same guy that knows Chavo is a rapist apparently. Seriously, its like 130,000 people in Stamford. This asshole probably just added the Nancy is dead part to be an asshole and ended up being right.
  21. Alot of people are suprised to know this, but there is more than the WWE Headquarters in Stamford.
  22. So. Kevin Sullivan killed everyone. Seriously, I thought Nancy and Sherri were close. Not Kevin.
  23. Eh. Its not just wrestling. They do the same thing with other subjects. Like on Bill o'reilly when they were were talking about the gangsta rapper Acorn losing his Verizon sponsorship. Accompanied by video of TI with "ACORN" underneath it. There was so much wrong with that picture .
  24. People still on the steroid thing, huh? I would think Andre Waters, Ted Johnson, Terry Long, Justin Strzelczyk, Mike Webster and countless others would show the obvious link to what was probably wrong with Chris, but yeah, lets blame steroids because he worked for the WWE. Funny thing, if the tox reports come back and say "there were no steroids in his system" its going to turn to, "Well, he was just cycling off, and all the steroids he took in the past caused this" once again ignoring that depression, demensia are both symptoms of having multiple concussions.

    Amobi Okoye had the body for it. No he didn't. He has added ALOT of muscle since he got to Louisville and grew like 3-4 inches. He was a freak, but no way that kid could have gone right to the pros. Hell, he was 15 when he left highschool anyway.
