Noah was fantastic when Healthy.

Horford hasn't EXACTLY been a iron man either.

Paul is aging.

But, I would sign both those guys and Biyombo over Noah for max money.

That is outrageous.

Noah's washed up. I'd sign Noah to about $8 - $10 mil to come off the bench and play solid minutes (20-25). But I'm not giving him max money. Makes the Whiteside watch more nerve wrecking as the Heat are eyeing Noah as a replacement option. Although, we do have our 1st and 2nd round pick next year. If we sign Noah to replace Whiteside and if Bosh retires; we're sure to suck at that point where we just may luck into a high lottery pick.

Never noticed your football team before.

Avatar bet I'm sure.

Id take Gortat over Noah anyday of the week. Max offer for Noah is just mind boggling.

He's too young to be washed up.

As long as Riley comes with the max, he stays.

Dallas Mavericks have emerged as a serious suitor for Heat center Hassan Whiteside, who becomes a free agent on July 1. ESPN Dallas reported on Thursday that Dallas expects to be granted a meeting with Whiteside in the opening hours of free agency. A friend of Whiteside did not dispute that report and said Whiteside, through back-channels, is generating considerable interest around the league. ESPN identified Portland as another team expected to seriously pursue Whiteside. That friend said Whiteside prefers to stay with the Heat if all things are equal financially.

Financially.....he would do better with the Heat because there's no state property tax. For that reason I wouldn't offer Whiteside the max because he can make more money in Florida. However, if the Mavs came with the max, the Heat would have to as well. Texas (like Florida) has no state property tax.

Oh okay. The Finals?

yeah

I'm also a little leery of offering Whiteside the max because he strikes me as the kind of guy who will get lazy with money but I'm not a G.M.

A G.M. has to pay him.

I don't know about being lazy. But, that's a ton of money for a guy with maturity issues.

On the plus side, Damarcus has done fine off the court, for the most part. So, I'd take that risk.

 

[RazorsEdge]

He's too young to be washed up.

I wouldn't say he's washed up, he's got a lot of miles on him, thibs miles too which makes it worse. He can still defend though.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Shouldn't this guy be sitting in a wheel chair with his legs elevated in casts?

A source not affiliated with Derrick Rose or the Knickscame away impressed with how lean and explosive the former All-Star point guard looked after seeing Rose work out recently in Los Angeles.

Iblocka may end up in prison....

Wow.....somebody's getting fired in a year if this happens.

Wizards Preparing Max Offer To Joakim Noah - RealGM Wiretap

ooooo, seriously...?

"one born every minute"...

 

[CitySushi]

Warriors already prepping for free agency by signing McCaw to a 2 year deal. They signed him for the league minimum, and signing him right away I believe makes it so that he doesn't have a cap hold for the start of free agency. He took a pay cut and reduced years, but it could even out for McCaw if he performs well. He'll have 2 years less of team control and if he plays well can parlay that into a bigger money contract than his rookie scale would have allotted him.

Bob Myers. Genius and Swindler extraordinaire.

lol ya think?

anyone who has ever seen the guys instagram account should be BEYOND hesitant to give this guy FU money.

He's going to be 32 this season. Thibs knocked off some years off the careers of some of these players.
