STIFF #1: J.R. SMITH
Remember when I wrote that J.R.‘s “nine lives may be up”? Well, that was last January. With Denver police looking closely at J.R. allegedly attacking former 14er Damien Lolar at a recent Pepsi Center shoot-around, it’s clear that J.R. will never mature and it’s time to move him.

STIFF #2: LEON ROSE AND WORLDWIDE WES
After commandeering LeBron’s departure from Cleveland, Rose and Wes are allegedly working to move Melo out of Denver. Let’s hope the Nuggets do what’s best for Denver and not these two franchise-destroyers.

STIFF #3: RIC BUCHER
The man who once guaranteed that Kobe Bryant had played his last game in a Lakers uniform has been gravy-training on other reporters’ Melo-related stories all summer long. Who does Bucher think he is, a sports blogger?

STIFF #4: MARCUS JORDAN
Like father, like son. Last week, His Airness’ 19-year-old son tweeted about dropping $50k at the Aria casino in Las Vegas prompting an investigation.

STIFF #5: INDIANA PACERS
Brandon Rush has been suspended five games for violating the NBA’s drug policy and recent draftee Lance Stephenson was recently arrested on assault charges. Larry Bird sure is doing a great job re-shaping the Pacers’ image.

all because he choked a player, hit another player last year, popcorned kmart’s SUV, sat at the end of the bench during time outs during a playoff elimination game, took his shoes off during the 4th quarter in an earlier playoff game, walked off the court during a regular season game, cannot legally drive a car until the year 2013, spent time in jail and killed a guy does not make him a bad person. all because he is clueless when it comes to shot selection, cannot play defense, never listens to the coaches and kept playing while his own teammate melo was laying on the floor helpless after being sucker punched by kevin durant’s belly button during a game does not mean he lacks potential when it comes to basketball. you should quit picking on this poor kid. remember jr is an unrestricted free agent after this season and can play for any team he wants next season. your negative comments will only drive him away. try and be positive and supportive like garrett olsen.

Couldn’t resist…

Pau Gasol. Because he’s a Laker. He flops. And he looks like a llama. What does it have to do with anything recent? Nothing. But I don’t care.

It’s one thing to do something that stupid, but it’s a whole different thing to tell the world about it.

They keep saying “allegedly attacked” and he “tried to choke” the guy. Not that that he actually did anything or harmed this person. I wonder what Mr. Lolar was doing to provoke him. I’m going to say it again…he was doing some Reggie Evans type stuff…had to be.
