Do you think if I spun that thing a million times, the Celtics would come up even once?

I mean, Lebron might take the MLE, right?

you're right. that is the most pointless machine ever. god only knows what possessed them to put it up.

you would have to be a real nutcase to spin that wheel again, and again, and again, and again....like me.  ;D

And why does it make it's choices backwards?


Lee is the first one on that machine to pick a team.



In real life, it will be lebron or Wade going first that will cause the trickle down effect.

Might as well whip out Mike & Mike's BSPN interpreter. 

It'll work perfect for interpreting everything that comes out of the messiah's and phil jackson's rear ends/mouths.

This is awesomely hilarious!  I love it!

But, I just got Wade and Lebron both going to the Bulls on my 2nd spin... isn't that essentially impossible unless one takes way under max or a sign & trade?

Which brings me to an interesting question... if your Chicago and can sign D-Wade, wouldn't you have to offer Cleveland a S&T of Rose + Deng for Lebron??  Is that a no-brainer for both teams if Lebron is thinking of leaving anyways?  Or does Cleveland say no and let Lebron walk to prevent an ultra-dynasty from forming and miss out on Rose?  I'd say they take Rose.  Would Lebron agree to it or does he need the whole spot light?  Poor Derrick Rose if that happens...

I got Wade and Lebron in Miami. I don't see how Lebron, Wade, and Stoudemire could all go to Miami, but God help us if they do.

Wouldn't need God's or anybody else's help.  It'd work out about as good as LA's "fo futur hallafamas" experiment.

The messiah isn't going to win a title unless Stern formally anoints him with one.  Too big an ego.

Well, if that machine isn't good for anything else, then at least it gives us a mere glimpse of how difficult it might be to seperate Dirk Nowitzki from the Dallas Mavericks this summer...who knows what may become of the Mavericks next season because the slot machine isn't showing any 'big name' free agents going to Dallas...lol.

Almost makes you wonder whether Dirk wants to leave or not, you might have to pry him from Mark Cuban's cold dead fingers...

  • Yup
pointless, but amusing - much like real slot machines.  All it's missing is a bunch of old ladies chain smoking cigarettes.

I spun it 5 times and Dirk came up a Mav each time.
Yup
