I feel like we missed out on an opportunity to unload the Morris twins here.
It's tough to unload something if nobody wants it. :cry:

This sucks. Things not looking good for Embiid. How much you think this affects the Sixers draft plans?
After weeks of rigorous workouts, Embiid had not felt pain in the foot, but a recent CT scan revealed an issue in the healing process, sources said. Philadelphia is consulting with doctors on how to best proceed, and it's still premature to speculate on the possibility of another surgical procedure that could sideline Embiid, sources said.

He also doesn't seem to be 100% serious about his career or his rehab process. He gained weight and reportedly wasn't rehabbing very hard during the season.

Clips trying to trade for Stephenson.
In a high-risk, high-reward move, the Los Angeles Clippers are discussing a deal with the Charlotte Hornets to acquire guard Lance Stephenson, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Clippers would send forwards Spencer Hawes and Matt Barnes to the Hornets, sources said. Talks have been ongoing for several days, but the proposed deal is yet to be considered imminent.

Barnes and Hawes for Lance is a basically just a swap of equal amounts crazy. I don't see how it helps LAC at all, and I'm ok with that.

I think Stephenson is a little crazier than Barnes...

Doesn't matter. Barnes has a $1M buyout before July 1st. He's a goner. That frees Hornets up to take Oubre or Stanley.

Matter for the Clippers.
Imagine what they are now, with the addition of Stephenson.
Easily NBA's most hateful team.

Really? I find Lance humorous. Now CPMe & Blake? Douchenozzle supremes. And honestly I dislike Hawes for the Obama toilet paper thing when having his black teammates over to his house than anyone else on either team.

What if Lance reverts back to Indiana Lance? I think it's unlikely tho possible. He needs the ball in his hands & he's about to play with the most ball dominant PG in the league. I hear he may play backup PG which he'd be better at than Rivers.
Go Suns!

I think if I lost some weight, I can do it better than Rivers...
I don't remember that Hawes thing, but I find it hard to like Lance...

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want Lance on my team but it's funny to watch him on the other team.

Oh yeah, here's the Hawes thing: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball- ... 42224.html

Evan turner posted a picture of it & refused to use it. He's a braver man than I though as I'm not sure I could stand walking around with crap in my pants. :lol:

That bothers you, but not Lance throwing his girlfriend down a flight of stairs and then stomping on her head?

When was that?? Was there jail time? Was he suspended? Why do I have no knowledge of this? Either I missed it or the deluge of athletes hitting their wives has rendered me tone deaf to it & that would mean I'm just an awful fucking human being.

It happened before he joined the league which would explain why I never heard about it. That's pretty damn terrible. Do you remember what happened discipline wise?

Thanks for filling me in. He now goes on the douchebags never to cheer for list.

Yeah, I don't think I knew that either. Despicable.
