Official Offseason News and Rumors

This is how we know you're a homer.

lol

Throw in bennett. And another 1st.

All young players.

Green and Barnes are as good as Bennett, they brong basically nothing to the trade.

Lee is what 31. TT and Waiters are young and Waiters has a chance to be a star and could put 20 a night easy.

Nothing to the trade? Riiiight

question I have is do the lakers even want Jeremy lin or was it just to get a pick? im hearing that any sign and trade options with gasol to other teams are now unlikely. rumor was to sign and trade boozer...not high on boozer but could help offset loss of gasol.

It was just a salary hold for the late 1st round pick. At least the Lakers will have a 1st rounder in 2015 now. They had the cap space & knew they wouldn't be getting any difference makers as FA to come to LA this season, so they chose to use to the space productively.

Bosh is a better player then he was 2 years ago and has been injury free.
Please explain.

The Dude grabbed 6 boards a game. Hes a good defender great midrange shooter but not worth the max

I think he will be more of a focal point of offense with james gone.

don't agree hes on the decline. we will see

If Melo goes back to NY.

Early, Hardaway, and Melo is pretty damn good. Only problem is they all play the same position.

 

[The Oldtimer]

4 years is a huge deal.

As for the Heat, it depends on their goals. I think signing Bosh to this deal significantly reduces/eliminates their chances of being a realistic title contender any time soon, but it puts them in the thick of the East race for the next 3 years or so. Bosh is really good.

Personally, I think they would have been better off going the route of the 6ers this year and trying to get cap space for another free agency overhaul in 2016, but Riley thinks he can win the East, and I can't rule the Heat out right now.

Fair enough.

This is how we know you're a homer.

Green and Barnes averaged 14 together. Waiters averaged 18 off the bench

TT 8 years younger than Lee averages a double double

You can laugh all you want. And if they add in Bennett, he still got 8, but never played and he was just a rookie. He could be a solid guy eventually if ever played.

Dude just stop. Barnes and Green BOTH have more potential than Waiters and Bennett. Bennett got sent to the Dleague, just stop it

Go Spurs Go


Lets get Pau.


It was about 1% 2 weeks ago, 10% 1 week ago.


it is probably 50/50 at this point in time the Spurs get Pau.


If Melo signs with Chicago, it is 100%.

 

[Wishbone]

Great news, now Houston has to match the Dallas offer for Parsons. Houston allowed Parsons to go into restricted FA so they could sign a premier FA and try to keep Parsons, then they jettisoned Lin and Asik to clear cap room, now all the premier F/A's are gone and they now have a worse team than last year.

It's probably not likely but maybe Presti can swing a trade with either Perkins or the Kmart trade exception.

The good news is now OKC is the second best team and if healthy can beat the Spurs.

Green is not a guy that you look at the scoreboard and see how he did. he does all the little things and is a great defender, can defend 1-4

Welcome Isaiah Thomas to the Phoenix Suns!

If there's one thing PHX is known for it's PG play. Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, etc.

As a Pau fan, I hope he goes to the Spurs. He'll be all but guaranteed another ring.

Suns working on a 5 PG starting lineup?

The SPURS would be the favorites to win it all regardless.


They are likely going to be 57-62 win team no matter what.....

But, with Pau Gasol, they would separate themselves into one of those special 65-70 win type teams.


He is still probably going to take more money in Chicago, but the Spurs are really appealing to him.


We shall see.
