2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

My agent just called. I've been offered a position with the Sparks.

Not the position I wanted......but hey.......a job in basketball is a job in basketball.

Thought you were a dude?

 

[trojanfan12]

Pray tell what did we give up for Calderon?

Russell, Randle and the rights to Ingram.

 

[trojanfan12]

We'll take it...

Yep, not bad. Added another veteran presence for the young guys on a 1 year deal that will be gone when they need cap space to make a run at Westbrook in 2017.

Jon Jones...you piece of shit.

How do I get my money back for UFC 200?

How many guards does this make?

Free agent Leandro Barbosa has agreed to a two-year, $8M deal with the Suns, league source tells @TheVertical

 

[trojanfan12]

Maybe with Raptors and Indy. I will give you Boston. Trust me not worried about Wash, Knicks or Char.

You better be worried about Charlotte. They just got Hibbert.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

And that logic is stupid. As turnup said one guy is in his prime while the other is in father prime. No way in hell was Miami trading Dragic to give Wade the money he wants for 1 or 2 more years. That was never happening

I think when all the smoke clears, we're going to find out that Wade was pissed that the Heat wouldn't clear Bosh.

Brazilian Blur back in the desert, that's cool.

 

[Kold]

With only the Rondo deal I was pissed but with Wade on board we can compete in the East and try and give Cavs a run. Plus looking at following year we have enough for 1 max player. so we didn't rebuild but we reloaded. we are better then last year. As a fan at least it will be fun to watch.

True, I mean I totally understand a fan that wants to atleast see a competitive team on the floor, and the Bulls, do at the least have the chance to do something interesting in the playoffs I suppose

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

And if Wade couldn't figure that out, he's not very bright and the Heat are better off without him.

People keep mentioning the Lakers deal with Kobe. The difference is, Kobe's contract didn't prevent them from having the money to sign other FA's. They had a max contract available both seasons of the contract.

With the money the Heat offered him, they would have had no money left to sign anyone else.

Heat offered him every nickel they had.

I guess teams wanted Winslow to take McBob??

Card is still loaded so its ok but yeah...Fucking Bones.

 

[Hambombs]

Barbosa still has game

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

i bet you he wishes he went to Dallas or LA now.....shit.......

would it be poor form for the Lakers to tell Mozgov to go fuck himself and send a contingent of hookers to convince whiteside to change his mind?

Ethan J. Skolnick‏ @EthanJSkolnick
For those asking, according to a source, Hassan Whiteside is still committed to the contract he agreed upon with the Miami Heat.

Stephen A, really? Why is he doing tabloid reporting?

He said Pat and Wade had a spat because Wade didn't give Riley a heads up that Lebron was leaving...lol

 

[purguy12]

Great letter by Wade. U usually see half hearted reasoning or thank you but he added a little about his life with his dad. Good stuff. I know some heat fans will be pissed but most will understand. Guy gave u a lot. 5 conference titles and 3 championship titles. Always took less.

This guy is still reporting garbage. Guy has been pointless for a couple of years now.

I hope Riley takes it personal

 

[trojanfan12]

I hope Riley takes it personal

Dwyane Wade waking up tomorrow morning.



There's a reason they call Riles The Godfather.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I hope Riley takes it personal

Meaning what?

I don't think Riley's around much longer in his current role.
Time for Arison to take over and have Riley around to lean on when necessary.
