NBA Offseason Thread.

I've narrowed my fandom down a bit. All teams with "birds" as a mascot are eliminated. I'm definitely favoring mammals.

Did you play Oregon Trail in your elementary school computer lab? If so, you know how badass TrailBlazers are.

Also, all team names that don't end with 's' should be eliminated. 'Magic,' 'Heat,' and 'Thunder' are just really, really stupid.

A strange decision, but there's room for you on the Cubs bandwagon.

put his ego aside

That ESPN horrorshow was about as far from putting one's ego aside as you can get.

If the Cubs hook Ernie Banks up with a really sweet golf cart and let him do burnouts on home plate before games, I can be swayed. Stan doesn't get to do burnouts on home plate.

I still have to root for a tire with a wing attached to it, but I'm taking Saigon's advice in my decision.

I am enjoying this thoroughly. Today I think we (lakers) won some fans. Thank you LaDecision!!!

I have this image of Kobe walking around for the past few days with his Kobe-smirk on his face 24/7 and it's making me laugh. I'm one of like seven people alive that was a legitimate Kobe fan without being a Laker fan (or bandwagoner) before this whole mess went down and it's only making me want him to trash the Heat even harder.

Also, as a KU fan, I'd just like to say that Nick Collison rules.

DECISION 11' has officially begun!!! 365 days until Nick Collison announces his free agent decision in a one hour special live on PBS!!!

I had the exact same thought... Kobe is quietly laughing and enjoying all this..

And I never knew you were a Kobe fan.. Welcome, my friend!!!!

I can't get over LeBron apparently deciding he wants to be Pippen, rather than Jordan.

The NBA needed an enema, and it has one for the first time since The Bad Boy Pistons. Here's to hoping the Bulls will be able to take them down.
