Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Now I understand why Donnie Walsh offered to give up smoking to make Ricky Rubio a Knick.

His ROY hype would be deafening if he played in NY

“Moments later, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra — whose outstanding in-bounds play-call caught Wolves coach Rick Adelman off-guard and provided the margin of victory — paid Rubio the ultimate respect; he sicced fundamentally superior Shane Battier, 3 inches taller, on the 6-foot-4 Rubio for the last two pivotal possessions.”

Other than the fact that Adelman said in the post-game presser that he specifically told his guys to watch for the lob play…

Oh, journalism…

Oh, and this:

“Sources say the Lakers offered Pau Gasol to the T’Wolves for Kevin Love after the league canceled the Chris Paul trade. Wouldn’t you?”

….no. No we would not.

I've also heard

the Lakers offered Kobe to that bumbling franchise in OKC for some kid named Durant, fans in LA were shocked when the deal fell through because the Thunder of all teams didn’t want to go through with it! It’s simply preposterous.

This is awesome...top comment below the story

As a Minnesotan, I love how this article implies that the only reason Rubio isn’t a Knick is because they ultimately decided they didn’t want him. But if they had wanted him, it would’ve happened, because New York teams are entitled to get whatever they want. So thank you, Knicks, for allowing us to keep a player we drafted and signed to a multi-year deal.
