Dalembert requested a trade from the Sixers.

That team is a mess all of a sudden.

Theo and Andre Miller skipped the final team meeting and both are free agents expected to leave.

when did bert do that?

Samuel Dalembert wants out of the Sixers, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer

Maybe "requested a trade" is a bit of a leap on my part. He did request one earlier this year, it says.

Before the NBA's trading deadline, Dalembert requested a trade, believing he was not being used properly. Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski tried, unsuccessfully, to trade Dalembert, who will be paid approximately $11.4 million next season and $12.2 million the year after.

Dalembert's contract is about as desired, and easy to ship, as a boat anchor.

"The frustration came down to, [in] the beginning, we were losing and I wasn't playing much," Dalembert said.


--though I'm sure he wouldn't be pissed to be peddled now.

We need somefuckinthing to hope for this offseason.

They still have a relatively decent young core in Iggy, Thaddeus, Speights, and Lou Williams

Dalembert will be tough to move

Let's just assume they are one of the teams calling. What else would they need to include for us to take Dalembert?

One 1st round pick, unprotected? Two?

What have they got that we might want

(And Glenn: Andre Miller in a sign and trade is not something we want)

Dalembert isn't worth 1 first round pick. Guy grabs 8 boards a game and fouls too much to stay on the court. He's Amir with playing time.

It's our fault that Dalembert got paid what he did, by performing relatively well in a playoff series against us where the refs didn't call many fouls.

(And Glenn: Andre Miller in a sign and trade is not something we want)

:we: may not, but "I" do.

But you're insane.

He's insane in the membrane.

back on topic...

Riley says signing Wade to an extension is numero uno priority...per espn. Doesn't want him to be a fa in 10

Well, it must be a slow news day if that's news.

Obviously Miami wants to sign to an extension, Cleveland wants to sign Lebron to an extension and this just in from our Canadian affiliate...

Toronto want Bosh to sign an extension.

Big surprise!

Rafer Alston is a fucking moron.

I lmao at the slap.

It is funny. He slapped him like he was his momma. "Child, please."

^ eggzactly

Jesus, that video is funny. Eddie House is like "WHA??"

Rafer suspended for G3 for the bitch slap heard round the world

if what alston did is a 1 game suspension, dwight howard should've gotten 2. i think alston deserved a fine, and a lot of grief for acting like a bitch. but that is not a suspension, i don't care what the rule says.

howard's action was much worse in severity and intent.

and rajon rondo doesnt get anything for his incident with kirk hinrich...

however i do think the fisher suspension was good

If you haven't heard about the Dirk Nowitzki fiancee story, I recommend you look it up.

He knows how to pick em.

hey- there are uglier and crazier guys that dirk could have picked. don't judge him!

Doug Collins is interested in coaching the Sixers.

so is larry brown. but that goes without saying.

yikes

bonzi?

The Raptors gave Triano a 3-year deal.

Obviously not performance-based.

If I were Dirk, I'd be looking for freedom too.

^lol

GSW fired Mullin.

He'll end up working for Walsh/NYK, methinks.

Danny Granger wins Most Improved Player.

Somewhere, Jon Bender is not pleased.

He'd get up to do something about it, but his legs would cave.

Darius Miles busted for pot possession.

sounds about right.

Darius Miles and drugs? I thought that man was a choir boy. Didn't Sheed teach him ANYTHING in Portland?!

I think he's DONE!

It's a shame too, only because those in favour of an age limit will probably use him as a reason to keep it in place and stop talented players from earning money for themselves instead of colleges and TV networks.

In suit, Hamilton alleges $1 million theft

Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Detroit Pistons star Richard Hamilton is accusing his former business manager of stealing about $1 million from him, according to a federal lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania.

The lawsuit was filed May 18 against Josh Nochimson, who is also at the center of recruiting allegations at Connecticut, Hamilton's alma mater.

Hamilton accuses Nochimson of using his credit card to purchase airline flights, game tickets and other items.

Nochimson's attorney says he hasn't seen the lawsuit and could not comment.

Hamilton led the Huskies to a national title in 1999. Nochimson was a student manager for the team.

Nochimson was accused earlier this year of providing improper gifts to entice a basketball recruit to sign with UConn.

^He should be suing his teammates, too.

For what, stealing a year of his career?

you're close...

He could sue JoeD and Denver for stealing his best fwend

Dirk's psycho fiancee is indeed prego.

Sucks for him.

If it's his, yes.

Derrick Rose is apparently the "student athlete of interest" in the newest Memphis scandal.

Violet Plamer is leaving the NBA to oversee some college refs or something.

Good.

False, unfortunately.

The Sixers hired Eddie Jordan.

Oh, well at least they will still suck.

So is he gonna wanna trade Brand? It was obvious Elton didn't fit.

Would we want him?

I'm thinking they're stuck with Brand. I'm not sure if Brand didn't fit, or if it was a case that he wasn't really recovered froim his injuries... didn't see enough.

I didn't see enough either.

I do recall that Brand at one time was an automatic 20/10 player. Are his injuries so bad that Arnie couldn't "fix" him?

Boozer is a 20/10 player as well and could probably be had for less than 15 mil a year (plus you give up no assets in a trade).

Ideally we'd be able to do a 3 way deal with Toronto that lands us Bosh. What would Utah get in that deal?

Yessir.
