Apparently it be Iggy for Kaman now. LA Clippers starting line-up gonna be beast  if it happens lol.

DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Iggy, Eric Gordon and Mo Williams. After a few years they can ditch Mo for Bledsoe when his ready lol.

Did you guys hear about Kyrie Irving the guy who is expected to be drafted number 1? Apparently he wants to play for Australia cause he was born here and his dad played for us  :D. If it happens, what a coup! However, I think I will feel bad for Patty Mills cause he will probably have to accept a role on the bench like he is atm in Portland (though undoubtedly he will definitely get more mins). Maybe the 2 of them can share the backcourt.

I am so pumped lol, this could be the revival of the Boomers!

Unfortunately Kyrie recently chose team USA. He thanked the Boomers and Basketball Australia and was seriously considering playing for Australia but ultimately could not pass up the offer to play basketball for the states. Plus his College coach in the states is Team USA's head coach...

Good luck to him!

that hurts :(

chances of playing for team usa r substantially more limited than playing for the boomers...

[jwiggle]

Yeh.. 2012 Olympics he will be fighting Rose, CP3, Wall, Williams, JKidd, Westbrook.. to name a few.. Boomers arn't looking too bad tho

[RiOtChEsS]

extreme possibility of lockout next year :(

22 of 30 teams r losing money :o

The Lakers total cap is 90 million :o the actual cap is 58 but there r soft cap allowances they have exploited...

29 of 30 teams r over the cap if u take away the soft cap allowances :o

apparently the situation is far worse than that of the NFL which has been in lockout for 100 days...

owners want a new model all together and its going to start with the players getting less...
