lyc: we're looking at a Saab 9-3 Convertible....can't ignore the huge value to price difference. It's a lot of car for what they're asking. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 24, 13:38 11
- 2010 model? Looks the company's finally stabilized, so if you like it, go for it. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 13:43 6
  - yes. - CrankYanker Jun 24, 13:56
  - I believe they are stopping production on the Saabs. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 24, 13:47 4
    - Wow, and I'm out of touch? -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:03
    - it's not decided yet i think - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:48
    - Nevermind,.. seems that GM sold it instead of cutting it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 24, 13:48 1
      - spyker now -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:49
- I've heard they are expensive to maintain. -- nm - lileve Jun 24, 13:42 2
  - Maintenance is an issue, yes, but at this price it's not as much a factor. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 24, 13:44
  - it's a saab = almost handmade :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:44
- closing sale? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:41
I'm glad Obama and the Russians are dealing with the important things. -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 13:37 2
- Don't worry, while he was over here the Russian president also got a Twitter account. -- (link) - Ender Jun 24, 13:57
- plus 50 Boings right? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:52
I reiterate that there is a huge problem with the NBA's infrastructure when trading a solid player and a draft pick for literally nothing is possible. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:35 54
- Hinrich is a bad contract... a negative to the Wizards in this deal - stewie Jun 24, 14:01 1
  - and they must've sent 5-6 mil worth of something back... - stewie Jun 24, 14:03
- Cap space has value. That's what they bought for their young player and pick. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 13:41 45
  - I'm still waiting for Memphis to spend that cap space they acquired to give the Lakers 2 titles. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:44 39
    - Yes, but the Bulls didn't make this trade to not spend the money. That's where this is apples and oranges. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 13:46 38
      - No no, the Bulls made this trade so that they *pray* they can spend the money. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:47 37
        
        The fallback for them is to then sit on the money for one season and take a run at Melo next year. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 13:49 3
        
        Carmelo's extension is almost done. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:51
        
        Melo's about to sign a 3yr deal. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:51 1
        
        Well, don't I feel foolish. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 13:53
        
        There are going to be a couple of teams who are ruined for five years because of what they gave up on the off chance they get LeBron or Wade. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:49 31
        
        this actually cracks me up. - groiny Jun 24, 13:50 29
        
        I'd say it's 90% certain LBJ & Dwayne return to their respective teams - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:52 26
        
        Could you imagine how much it would suck to be the one guy who has to mop all the jizz off Cleveland's streets the day after Lebron decides to stay? -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:53 1
        
        Shaq? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:55
        
        I think Dirk is more likely to stay than LeBron is. That's my read on it anyway. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:53 23
        
        I tend to agree. - groiny Jun 24, 13:55 6
        
        i don't see any real reason to think that. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:56 5
        
        I do not think they are better than the Bulls, if you take LeBron off both. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 13:57 4
        
        If his only criteria is to go to the best team, he's out of Cleveland, no question. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:58 3
        
        Well, the Lakers aren't signing him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        the best team that can. aka Chicago or Miami. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:00 1
        
        And I think Chicago's the better option there by a good bit. I don't know if LeBron leaves, but I think the Bulls come away with at least 1 of those - pmb Jun 24, 14:06
        
        I didn't put him on that list with the expectation he's leaving...he's 90%+ imo but he's also 33 and near the end of his career - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:54 15
        
        but can they win it all? - groiny Jun 24, 13:56 14
        
        The best record in the league tells me simply that they have the better shot than any of the others. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        You cannot win a title by yourself. - groiny Jun 24, 13:59 1
        
        You can't win a title by yourself, but lebron james should be the center of the world...not the missing piece. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:02
        
        They won a shitload of games and will continue to do so. They would eventually win a title with Bron. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:57 10
        
        LeBron needs more help. - groiny Jun 24, 13:58 2
        
        They tried their best to get him a solid amount of help. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:01 1
        
        what strong foundation? - groiny Jun 24, 14:03
        
        I wonder if they'd have a couple of titles now if not for Boozer's treachery. - David Jun 24, 13:58 6
        
        Wow. Forgot about that. That's a good point. - musubi Jun 24, 13:59
        
        I'll say it now: Lebron's elbow stays 100% cool this postseason, they have a title. - TFox Jun 24, 13:59 4
        
        If they had another all-star caliber player to offset LBJ, they might have as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:00 3
        
        Antwan Jamison was an all-star....last year. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:03 2
        
        *shrugs* - groiny Jun 24, 14:05 1
        
        No one's ever excited about Jamison, but end of the season, he's usually about 20ppg, 9.5 rpg. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:06
        
        and really, Wade's staying in Miami and someone is joining him. And the others will both go to another team. - TFox Jun 24, 13:51 1
        
        Someone is going to give Joe Johnson a max contract then remember how quickly Iverson fell off the radar. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:52
        
        at least one of them was already ruined (hi Clippers!) -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:49
        
        correct. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:49
  - I know and that's the problem. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:43 4
    - That's just the cost of a cap system. As soon as the league - any league - brings in a salary cap, space takes on value. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 13:45 3
      - You cannot trade a player for no player in the other major leagues, NFL, NHL or MLB. - David Jun 24, 13:48 2

        *trades for no tea* -- nm - Douglas Adams, NBA GM Jun 24, 13:56
- The NBA is so broken. My favorite team has been a huge beneficiary of this system, but it is so broken. - musubi Jun 24, 13:38
- Do we know that it's nothing yet? It probably is, but all I've seen is "we don't know" on the Wiz side. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:36 4
  - It's nothing but they have to wait until sometime in July to finalize it. - David Jun 24, 13:37 2
    - Here is the explanation that I'm sure makes sense to somebody somewhere. - David Jun 24, 13:38
    - Here's Gilbert. merry effin xmas. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:38
  - We'll give em Zydrunas Ilguasuksus. Oh wait, we let him leave! - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:37
So, the Wizards are going to rebuild with John Wall, Kirk Hinrich, and two more first round picks? Could be worse. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:34 4
- The 2 picks are the 17th and the 30th........so we'll get a role player at 17, and a roll the dice at 30 - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:36 3
  - I bet you can find a Glen Davis-esque bargain at 30. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:39 2
    - But that's a guaranteed contract at #30. Davis in the 2nd round was a steal, much like DeJuan Blair last year - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:42
    - oh, and 35 too. you can draft an entire new team! -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 13:40

  - ah, close: Sildenafil -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:31
looking at the video of the G20 car, I just have to think that's just some backwoods guy living out of his camper/car -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:26
We walked into a buzzsaw against the White Sox. That was tremendous pitching. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:24 8
- Frick. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 13:26 2
  - Lowe was tremendous. It's Saito who cracked. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:27 1
    - Yeah, just saw the 0.0 era. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 13:29

- Den valgte side kan i �jeblikket ikke vises. Dette kan skyldes, at den er midlertidigt utilg�ngelig, at det fulgte link er udl�bet, eller at du ikke h -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 13:37

Really, all the young female idols may as well be lesbians for all it matters to me. - Reagen Jun 24, 13:22 4
- Your cappy is showing. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 13:30
- yeah but we can always dream and who wants our dreams shattered like balloons dipped is liquid nitrogen -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:23 2
  - i thought they just shrank and then reinflated when they warmed back up? -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 13:31
  - I think you misunderstand me. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 13:25
I have eaten like a freaking big this week. So much birthday cake and just all kinda of calories. - ty97 Jun 24, 13:22 2

Orinathi has a pretty strong cd out. I like her. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:22 11
- I only figured out who she is after watching This Is It the other day. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:23 10
  - Yeah, I'd seen her on stage during a Carrie Underwood performance; but to see her take attention away from MJ was impressive. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:24 1
    - I bet the Smooth Criminal performance would have been legendary. It's a shame they didn't have a finished version of it. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:30
  - that's when she popped up on my radar...then I saw this... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 24, 13:24 [youtube] 7
    - I like that you linked me to a Selena Gomez ad. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:25 6
      - Vai really is the best I've ever seen. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:28 4
        
        isn't he amazing? I saw him and Satriani and Malmsteen together. That was awesome. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 13:31 3
        
        I saw him with Whitesnake and he brought down the house with an instrumental of Star-Spangled Banner. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:32 2
        
        I was 5th row. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 13:33 1
