UPDATE: Anyone have any idea what’s going on over at the WSM? site? Weird. We had lunch with Becky the other day and already met her parents. She’s pushing everything pretty fast on us like that, but hey.

WSM TEASE 1 SMALL

As they say in that one song, “Sumpin’ happenin’ here…”

Jermaine is finally getting proactive about wanting out of Indy, and we couldn’t be happier…as long as he waits until August 21st, when we’ll be back.

C’mon - it’s not like anything’s going on, anyway. It’s August in the NBA!

By the way O’Neal - you’re a contracted player, not a free agent.

“[Pacers GM] Larry Bird is a hard man to deal with,” O’Neal said. “He tries to make unfair trades. He wants to gut a team, but the Lakers are trying to get over the hump. I want Indiana to benefit, but with some nice young players and draft picks. I want to make it clear that I don’t want to gut a team that I come to because then it’ll be like I’m in Indiana all over again.”

You don’t just get to go, “I want to be traded to the Lakers, and please take a garbage deal so they’re still good when I get there.” Yeah, we know - you’ve got the opt-out next summer, blah blah blah.

Have some tact - that’s all we ask. Your team already made a garbage deal to help out the Warriors - that’s enough Pacific Division charity for now, okay?

See you on the other side of August 20th, friends. Remember - it’s all for you.

In the interim, please use this comments thread to discuss what Rondo can do for you, to you, with you, or at you.

(UPDATE: Look at Darius Miles’ car. Some people would call that stupid - we are one of them. Okay, we’re back to not being here until the 21st again.)

UPDATE 2: Yeah, chew on this for the next two weeks:


That says more about Rondo than we could ever hope to. Thanks to commenter yahtzee for shedding the light on a true hero, and a true villain. The Rondo is a complex creature, to be sure.

UPDATE 3: Yes, this post did hide itself for awhile. Not sure why. Okay, we’re really gone this time.

    That was the worst trade of the season. God damn man, I still can’t get my mind around it.

  2. 2 Jordi

    Aug 21st? 3 weeks? Will we at least hear from the loquacious and verbose Jack Cobra?

    May the Rondo with you in your travels and through all your days.

  3. 3 Boney

    sweet, blog suicide again!

  4. 4 The Cavalier

    Well Jack is gone this Friday, so it’s gonna be awhile regardless…

  5. 5 KG is green

    yea the only reason i could think of is Larry Bird wanted more white people on the team even if they were 90 times worst and makes his salary cap management skills thomas isiah-esque

    i hope JO does come to the lakers. can’t wait for o’neal kobe dynamic duo. i think they will do the trade if the lakers include all white players… walton/ radman/ farmar/ sasha/ anyone

    btw why hasn’t dajuan wagner made any other teams yet? he’s not even good enough to be in d-league or training camp?

  6. 6 Jack Cobra

    Rajon Rondo shot Mamba…..That’s an idea for a t-shirt

  7. 7 Jordi

    Cobra I disagree … Rondo knows not to shoot - he must only pass. Or KG will rip Rajon’s tongue out his rectum.

  8. 8 yahtzee
  9. 9 Jack Cobra

    Damnit, you are right Jordi. Is Rondo the new Raja?

  10. 10 The Cavalier

    Rondo’s new nickname - “The Driving Bliss”.

  11. 11 Boney

    Rajon… Raja… it’s like they were seperated at birth.

  12. 12 Jordi

    Rajon Pierre Rondo is much much better than Raja Bell. As a matter of fact, Rondo’s greatness may only be matched by the Blue Raja. To top it all off, in ancient sanskrit “rajan” meant king. All hail King Rondo.

  13. 13 yahtzee

    I wonder if Kia hooked him up with a Rondo… throw some 24’s on that and you can roll with Zach Randolph!

  14. 14 TVBrain

    Darius Miles? Who’s that?

  15. 15 yahtzee

    Oh…my…God….

    Sorry for all of the linking… but this is a must-see…

  16. 16 The Cavalier

    Go to this dude’s page - there’s 3 parts to this Rondo movie!

  17. 17 Jack Cobra

    crap, crap, crap….can’t watch video at work! I may leave early today.

  18. 18 yahtzee

    GreenBandwagon…. :)

  19. 19 Jordi

    Scot Pollard? Together with Rondo they will rule everything. Might as well keep those other guys on the bench.

  20. 20 mcbias
  21. 21 Jordi

    I’m ronry, so ronry without you here with me.

    What if the Celtics made an offer to Cheryl Miller? Wasn’t she supposedly better than Reggie?

  22. 22 Jack Cobra

    Cheryl Miller is the second coming of Antoine Walker.

  23. 23 Green Optimism

    She once scored 100 pts in a high school game.

    Apparently Reggie came home after his game and was bragging about scoring 40 or something, and then he found out his sister had more than doubled his offensive salvo.

    I would like to go on the record as saying that, as a Celtics fan, I’d much rather have PJ Brown than Reggie Miller.

  24. 24 Boney

    just wait until Ray Allen’s feet go all goo-gook on him again.. then you’ll be wishing you still had Gerald Green…

    plus, wasn’t that funny how when the Celtics were on the road and his jersey said “Green” on the back? It’s like “duh, of course I know it’s Green!”

    no?

  25. 25 Carlo

    But Garnetts official pics have him in a green jersey with Celtics on the chest. What’s up with that? (Like, really. No joke.)

  26. 26 Jordi

    Green Optimism -
    As a Knicks fan you can have both Reggie and P.J. Brown - and all of the concentrated hate of the entire Knicks nation. We never forget.

    My prediction: the season starts on Oct 30. By Nov 2, I predict Sebastian Telfair will have scored as many points as Kevin Garnett.

  27. 27 Carlo

    Haha, you don’t watch too much basketball do you?

    On a different note; Allan Huston is contemplating a comeback.

    Bill Russel could provide “leadership” for Oden….?

  28. 28 Boney

    I think your simple mind misunderstood my sarcasm.. it’s ok though, I’m used to dealing with TVBrain, heh.

  29. 29 Carlo

    Hu? I never replied to anything you said. I was talking about this; http://www.nba.com/media/celtics/wallpaper_garnett_pierce_allen_think_big800.jpg

    Garnett is wearing a green jersey with Celtics on the chest. The Celtics away-jerseys, like all other teams in the league, have the city name on the chest, not team name.

  30. 30 Carlo

    Anyway, I just noticed it looks Potatoshoped, so…

  31. 31 Boney

    umm, unless Ray Allen was on the Celtics last year then it is photoshopped… 1, because he’s wearing a Celts jersey and 2, he’s actually playing when we all know how brittle his feet are.

  32. 32 Carlo

    Uh, no? You don’t think they could stick him in a jersey and have him take a couple of jumpers? I’ll bet you $100 that’s what they did in his case.

    Penny just signed with the Heat. This is getting fucking stupid.

  33. 33 Green Optimism

    The Celtics main away jerseys actually don’t say Boston on the front. However, they do have the “St. Patricks Day” jerseys they’ve been wearing as alternates (home and away) since the 2005-06 season.

    Also, Jordi the Knicks Fan, how do you see the Knicks duo of Curry and ZBo working out? It’s worth a shot, I’d say.

  34. 34 Jordi

    Curry and ZBo? Should be ok as long as ZBo stay out of the club and Curry stays away from the buffet. Not sure where David Lee fits in, and bringing back the Oak as in an enforcer wouldn’t be bad. But it beats having Penny Hardaway.

    Speaking of, I always thought Pat Riley was overrated. Now I think he is stupid.

    By the way, Boney could win coaching Magic, Kareem, Shaq, and DWade.

    And Popovich rhymes with dresser.

  35. 35 Boney

    the “St. Patrick’s day” jerseys are worn on or around St. Patrick’s day… they’re green with gold numbers…

    the alternate away uniforms actually do say “Boston” on the front in bold black letters, and the bold black trim..

    either way, they’re all still uglier than hell.

  36. 36 Green Optimism

    They most certainly do not play in those jerseys you described. I’m from Boston and there was a big stink here when they introduced the St Patricks Day jerseys and added the shamrock above the name on the back of their everyday jerseys. Those are the only two alterations made to their uniform in God knows how long.

    They do have different ones that are just sold but not played in. Like the black jersey with green writing, but I’ve never seen the one you’ve described.

  37. 37 The Cavalier

    I thought the Celtics jerseys had the players’ first name on the front and last name on the back - did they change that, too?

  38. 38 Jordi

    There’s something happening here. What is ain’t exactly clear. We gotta stop, what’s that sound ….

    oh, just another commenter wondering if WSM? really exists.

  39. 39 Boney

    So you’re saying that this uniform, which has been called “the celtics alternate away uniform” is not an actual uniform?

    http://www.insidehoops.com/new-celtics-jersey.jpg

    Because I’ve seen them wear these… If you didnt even know these existed you should change your name to something non-celtics related…

  40. 40 Boney

    http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/release_120905_jersey_auction_december.html?rss=true

    you should be embarrassed that a Pistons’ fan knows more about the team than you do.

  41. 41 STILLAJEW

    The fact that there is an argument over celtics jerseys is wicked awesome guy. This just shows how badly another post by Cobra is needed since the Cavalier will be out for a while. Because though talking about Celtics jerseys is rad, or bad even, and some would say radical, or if you’re Rondo you can even pull off badical…forgot my point. Oh yeah…Cobra post something!

  42. 42 Orange Rondo

    Yes, more Cobra…less Boney.

  43. 43 Jordi

    How desperate are we that we are clamoring for more Cobra? Although I heard from high sources that Cobra has been purposefully muted for the duration of The Cav’s blog suicide. Of course, The Cav also turned down offers from other former substitutes as well.

  44. 44 The Cavalier

    You’ll see the reason why in roughly five minutes.

  45. 45 Jack Cobra

    I just rec’d my first WSM? Official Email….it’s on like donkey kong

  46. 46 Boney

    I’m so excited!

  47. 47 Jordi

    Happy happy joy joy!

  48. 48 mcbias

    The Cavalier and Becky, in the same place? At least this means there can be no gmail chat postings to commerate the event (thank Mamba). Seriously, though, I’m glad you two were able to meet.

  49. 49 Boney

    The Cav and Becky? you better hope WSM? makes serious cash, take it from Michael Strahan, women is evil!

  50. 50 roger

    JC - Was their a readership requirement (of more than 5 unique persons) for the WSM? dealie? Because my blog got PWNED (i.e. no email . . . *tear*).

  51. 51 becky

    :(

  52. 52 STILLAJEW

    Is there a mailing list for WSM? If there is, I want on it.

  53. 53 Jack Cobra

    Fellas, he made a post last week if you wanted to get on a mailing list for promoting it on your site. Go back a few posts and see if its still there. I’m sure there will be tons of updates on here and I can assure you that I will be promoting the heck out of it on my site and on here when I’m writing on Friday…

  54. 54 The Cavalier

    Yes if you want to help - email me at yaysports@gmail.com with “WSM?” in the subject line.

    Becky - why the sad face?!?!

  55. 55 becky

    I never meant to push, Cav. Never ever.

  56. 56 GreenScreen13

    J. O’Neal believes a change of scenery is for the better, therefore ties with Indy must first be severed. Then he spewed a diatribe denouncing his peddler, the ‘Man with Feathers’, and stated by verbal letter his kinship with the ‘Black Mamba’ using this as a lever. I believe he will be unfettered, but a trade from Hoosier State to Cali warm weather, I say never. It’s more likely when all’s said and done, he’ll be a Bergen County settler joining players with less berettas. That’s when he’ll empty his dresser.

    Now shifting from fair-weather go-getter to present Boston Celtics rhythm setter. The Rajon is a quick maneuvers ad-libber, big handed dribbler and lockdown defensive nibbler. And despite his not so hot spot shot, he’s still a greater play creator. To sum up in one word: SAVIOR.

  57. 57 Boney

    I think that Indiana should trade Brian Scalabrine and Bill Walton’s old authentic game used orthotics. Fair trade?

  58. 58 Jordi

    So when the Cav gets his star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, will he at least give free tickets to the people who helped him out along the way?

    One day I am gonna make a movie and it’s gonna have women and penguins and explosions and monsters and ninjas and pirates and koala bears and cheese doodles and trucks and buildings and people and ghosts and samurais and bazookas and beluga whales and airplanes and afros and pizza and robots and magic and birds and mountains and water and air and Funyuns. Yeah, Funyuns.

    And all of you are welcome to be in it. Except Boney.

    Unless he lets me ride in his jeep.

  59. 59 The Cavalier

    Becky it was a joke!

  60. 60 grifter

    wow, i never knew that darius miles was a member of jayce and wheeled warriors.
    what, nobody remembers that 80’s cartoon?

    no one?

  61. 61 Boney

    Jordi, where’s the love? damn man, first The Cav doesn’t like me now you? that makes me do this ~~~> :-(

  62. 62 The Cavalier

    Jordi…you say that like I left out the Funyuns…I’d never leave out the Funyuns.

    In fact, one of the most sincere moments of the film involves Funyuns. If that doesn’t get you to watch, I don’t know what will.

  63. 63 Jordi

    Boney - we only pick on those we love. But you still gotta let me ride in the jeep.

    Cav - As if I wasn’t sold already, I am now officially geeked.

  64. 64 The Cavalier

    The longtime reader will be well-rewarded - there are lots and lots of things referenced and used.

    The Casual Baby, alas, did not make the cut, although he was in an early draft of the script.

  65. 65 Boney

    will fans of the D be rewarded?

  66. 66 Orange Rondo

    This Fall…the world gets a whole lot Rondo-ier.

  67. 67 The Cavalier

    Boney - oh yes. Probably not how you like, though.

  68. 68 yahtzee

    Finally I will understand the meaning of those Ben Wallace T-shirts…
    “A superior social scene…”

  69. 69 The Cavalier

    Those actually don’t work anymore - old version of the script. The t-shirt line will be re-done before release…

  70. 70 Detroit Chris M

    Will the Hey Deer be in the film?

  71. 71 The Cavalier

    He is but you’ll never be able to see him.

  72. 72 Boney

    sweet 20 questions… ok let me think of one.

    The Cavalier, it has been long rumored that Mamba is in fact a snake… can you confirm or deny said rumor?

    I’ll hang up and listen for your answer…

  73. 73 Jordi

    my turn, my turn …

    So Cav, umm … if said mamba from boney’s email is in fact a snake and said mamba was in fact shot as inferred in said movie title, is there no chance of seeing said Mamba in Who Shot Mamba 2?

  74. 74 The Cavalier

    Mamba is in fact a snake.

    What if “Who Shot Mamba? 2″ is not called “Who Shot Mamba? 2″…?

  75. 75 Jack Cobra

    Will Jackie Chan be in the movie not called WSM? 2?

  76. 76 Boney

    the sequel could either be called “Who Shot Mamba too?” or “Who Shot Mamba also?”

    because then, you can find more suspects and have us all by the short hairs for 3 more years!

  77. 77 mcbias

    What about “Who shot Mamboni?” where Mamboni is the Italian son that Mamba never knew he had?

  78. 78 Jordi

    “Who else shot Mamba?” assuming, of course, that more than one person can shoot a snake. Usually not much left after the first shot. How about “Spawn of Mamba”, “Return of the Living Mamba”, or “Mamba Strikes Back”?

  79. 79 Jack Cobra

    Who Shot Mamba? 2….Electric Boogaloo

  80. 80 Boney

    boogaloo is a funny word… just say it… no matter what type of voice you use to say it, it makes me titter.

  81. 81 Jordi

    I wonder how successful the blog suicide has been. I count less than 10.

  82. 82 Boney

    Yo, whatever “success” the Cavalier is trying to achieve, it’s not working. He still has like 4 douchebags that come here and comment… Me, Jordi, Jack Python and MCBias… Everyone else is gone. I kinda miss TVBrain and Frank, I miss roger a little bit… Tony Parker I miss… Becky I miss sorta… ummm… BDP is missed a lil’… The SP, even though he doesn’t like me, I miss him…

  83. 83 Brandon Dean Price

    Don’t forget Jones, he’s moved on to bigger things already.

  84. 84 STILLAJEW

    I’m officially going to stop checking this website daily for the first time in over year. I’ll just read jack cobra’s page until the 21st…oh how low I’ve sunk. I like Cobra but when he’s not on this site, he’s usually not talking basketball, which is bad.

  85. 85 The Cavalier

    You’ll all be back - I’m not worried.

    Nobody is even close on the name of the sequel. Nor the storyline apparently. This is all much, much bigger than on simple dead snake.

  86. 86 Boney

    at this point who cares… it is now the 16th of the month and however many days are left until your self imposed blog suicide are over… the more days that pass, the more my heart breaks… in more ways than 1

  87. 87 The Cavalier

    What do you want me to tell you guys? I’m trying to do the greatest and most significant thing in the history of blogs - cut me some slack. Do you really need a half-assed Photoshop about Team USA scrimmaging in the middle of August?

  88. 88 Boney

    yeah whatever…

    I’m boycotting Mamba

    word to your mutha

  89. 89 The SP
  90. 90 Orange Rondo

    Boney,
    I think the 4 douchebags you mentioned above are the only people that visit your website.

  91. 91 Jeep

    Hey, I read Boney’s blog too/also

  92. 92 Boney

    that’s good to know Orange Rondo, because for a while there I was worried that only my mom was the one that reading my site.

  93. 93 Jordi

    Boney,
    If it makes you feel any better(or worse), the powers that be slapped a filter on my browsing. “Mind of Boney” is closed for viewing. Sorry. But feel free to go to my site as often as you like.

  94. 94 Boney

    Jordi,

    I do visit your site quite frequently. As far as my stuff is concerned, I’m happy with just my mom viewing it if she’s the only one that is interested!

  95. 95 roger

    Thanks Boney. I miss you a little too. I’m down will the new all-comment blog style the Cav’s got going on right now. I even subscribe to the RSS feed.

  96. 96 Boney

    “You’ll all be back - I’m not worried.”

    you cocky SOB..

    just for that, I’m taking my 3 readers and boycotting you.

  97. 97 Frank

    Well I haven’t left, but now I only read when I’m pretty bored.
    Boney you made me sniffle. I read your blog occasionally. Much love.

    We could try to start something about the Tigers and Indians, but I have no great love for baseball and both teams are so pathetic right now.
