Raise Your Hand If You're Super-Glad He's Not a Blazer Now

I assume this is what you were alluding to yesterday

The verrrrrrryyyyy interesting piece that was waiting on a third party. Well, nice work. I never would have guessed that the third party you referred to was Lamar Odom.

And seriously, let us all have a moment of silence in thanks that this nutbar is not a trailblazer.

They are not only engaged, they want to marry. After waiting about a week. It's like a fast break.

And yes, ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians – NBA’ or ‘Khloe and Khourtney and however else they misspelled their kids taking Portland’ is not what I needed to see. LA and LO are a more natural fit.

By the way, when I saw the headline I thought Dave was talking about Hedo’s bad performance in the EuroBasket and the Raptors saying he needs some rest. See fanshots.

We need to get Rashad McCants to get in Odom's head

by tominhawaii on Sep 23, 2009 4:56 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

It looks like Rashad McCants is going to camp with the Houston Rockets with a non-guaranteed deal.

McCants will likely just be fodder there and not make the team, which is ’cause rookie Jermaine Taylor — whose four-year contract is guaranteed for both this season and the next one — is a younger, much more efficient version of him and has locked up the third-string shooting guard.

Stupid people have stupid ideas.

As it is, I've got no use for Rashad McCants; he's an inefficient, high-volume shooting chucker.

Regarding the Houston Rockets 15th and final roster spot — which’ll open up when Brent Barry is released and retires or traded elsewhere — I hope it goes to UW alum Will Conroy, who’d make a nice third-string point guard behind Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry.

...which is about the only quality that put them on TV

And it’s debatable why a fairly pleasant physical appearance makes it more worthy to follow her family’s life on TV than the life of a less pretty person who says more interesting things and does more interesting things but only meets other less well known people who are less pretty and shop in less expensive stores and go to less parties and are annoying because they talk about complicated stuff.

I would say it doesn’t, but more people want to watch it. Apparently a large group of viewers like to follow other people failing at doing simple everyday stuff and saying ridiculous things, so they can say “hey look, celebrities are normal people just like us. They only make more money and might look a little prettier”.

Seems to be a trend of the last decade: “See how you can never be – but it might make you happy to know these people aren’t perfect either” and “You are too dumb to live, we show you how it’s done”.

I saw a documentary on the Kardashians a few months ago.

Robert Kardashian, of OJ fame, died a few years ago and the wife married Bruce Jenner, who is pretty famous in Olympic circles. Kim got attention from paling around with Paris Hilton, and from being gorgeous, which got her the spread in Playboy, and so on.

You are not poorer for not knowing about the Kardashians, but since you are Norsktroll, I’m surprised that there are any gaps in your knowledge.

Kim is MUCH hotter.

Apart from that, hopefully he’s happy and hopefully she’s not hooking up with him for some fame of her own as I’ve never heard of her before. Also, it’d be nice if she was happy because happy seems to be tough to come by in Hollywood.

As for the question, I’m definitely glad he’s not a blazer regardless of his talent. I maintain he doesn’ t fit the blazers and KP’s lack of going after him in a serious manner means that he agrees with me. (note the blazers never made an offer.)

and as such… no serious offer = no interest. Of course you talk to talent. You never close doors, but if the blazers didn’t offer some 50m offer like they did turkeyglue… I can’t see any interest.
