Please don't.


If you see something interesting or worth discussion, point it out. Otherwise just a link to the rumors would suffice. I don't wanna see a chance for interesting rumor talk to be subjected to the discussion of things like "The Cavs' final cut will be Ondrej Starosta"

This is basically putting the entire NBA Talk in one thread.

I think it's a great idea, if you're willing to put in the daily effort It looks like a lot of work, though.

I like the idea , its a very good recap of the whole NBA Talk , also makes the another users to not create lots of threads just for ... Maybe the "..." sign "..."

or...
http://www.hoopshype.com/rumors.htm
and save yourself a lot of time and effort (you wont last 2 days anyway )

It will be good if u can put in the effort, but i dont think it will last

if you put little *new* asterisks next to the new stuff then it'd be cool

good luck. i had trouble updating my darko watch, hopefully it'll be easier on you

All the best with this. It will be awesome if you can keep it up but it's going to be a hell of a lot of work.

Would be cool if you could set the team heading to their colors as well, just to break the flow of all the text up as well. Bit easier on the eyes.

Good luck

~Updated~

You should put the dates in front of the articles, it'll be easier for you to see which articles should go because they're 3 days old.

well the pattern i have is pretty easy to remember which ones go....some i might keep if there is no new news...or its a main point that hasnt been updated....Thanks for the Comments guys....dont forget you can also talk about these on here too....

I say if he keeps this going for the next month, the mods should sticky this

wow! good luck with this, no offense but im giving it at the most 2 weeks

Great Effort Kingtrobe. Dam this would take alot of time to update each day

~UPDATED~

This is basically putting the entire NBA Talk in one thread.

In a nutshell

I dont understand why everyone is knocking this topic down but i think it's quite intersting. As long as you can keep it up that is. We discuss many more things other than romours in nba talk.

Thanks Yohance...

I still dont really know if people like this thread or not....should I stop....should I keep doing it....Need some major feedback since this is a very detailed thread.....

wow, luke jackson got cut. I seriously thought they were gonna keep him. Good work kingtrobe807

kingtrobe807, I'm all for your thread. Saves me time from going from site to site to look for news

JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan Bowen got waived.
