tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

[trojanfan12]

Deron Williams has a little left in the tank...id like that move a LOT for Dallas....maybe Williams will give u p some money and come to a buy out....

Deron Williams
Wesley Mathews
Chandler Parsons
Dirk

and possibly Kanter is actually not bad at all....


I really just cant wait for Cuban to blow up about this Jordan stuff.

Who would have thought that LeBron would have the quietest free agency out of just about anyone...

Yeah, even when they thought they had Jordan, PG was going to be an issue for them. Deron Williams used to be pretty darn good. Maybe a change of scenery helps him.

When was the last time you heard from LeBron James??? The answer is.... when he was contractually obligated to speak to the media.


LeBron actually stays very quiet when he can. The perception that he always has something to say... or that he is looking to be in the spotlight comes from the fact that ESPN loves to make 3 page articles out of every 3-word quote he gives and from the fact that ever media member at his practice/game/event will spend the majority of their time trying to talk to him.

Yes, Lebron never says, does or tweets anything stupid. It's all ESPN's fault.

 

[trojanfan12]

Of course it is, but Heat fans are acting like they arent going for a championship when that's exactly what they are doing.

Just checking because last year you guys insisted it wasn't.

Of course he's said stupid things... that's not what I was talking about. Try reading again.

Yes, building for the future with some young guys. But in a couple years they will have to replace Wade and KD just doesnt seem like the player interested in Miami, you never know, but I still think he loves OKC or to Washington he goes.

Translation = Please, please, please, don't let Durant go to Miami.

I did. You blamed ESPN.

Any chance that the Lakers would trade Russell to the Celtics?

One thing about Riley. He is a pretty good salesman. Durant going to Miami is certainly within the realm of possibilities.

That was year one, they needed a year to gel, of course. Shit they almost won it without the main guys, surprised the shit outta me. If they stay healthy, there is no excuses. Gotta work on this depth at the moment.

Not for what LeBron has ever said... but on creating this notion that LeBron always has something say or is eager to be in the spotlight... in reality he rarely says anything except when contractually obligated to answer questions.

Still doesnt matter, he cant beat Lebron. He's in his head, just like DRose's.

If Mitch or Jeanie answers the phone, No.

If Jim answers the phone, Probably.

He'll just do like he did with Lebron. He'll toss his rings out onto the table and ask "Want one?"

 

[Retroram52]

That is too funny TJF12 and that post #5132 could get a lot of mileage when more Lakers and Heat fans show up.

 

[Wamu]

Well then here's to hoping Jimmy answer the phone!

True. Lakers fans went through the same thing with Kobe. The media also tends to try to twist stuff to make it a bigger deal than it really was.

 

[Retroram52]

Russell isn't going anywhere.

CL loves some rainbows. I'm not surprised lol

HAHAHAHAHA

Durant - if he doesnt stay in OKC will go to WAshington- which will present its own set of challenges-

but how would Durant get to Miami? They would lose Whiteside unless Whiteside sucks and they dont have to pay him that much AND they let Wade go

Bosh makes 24 next year
Dragic 19
Whiteside - no bird rights- so they cant go over the cap to resign him
McBob- 6
winslow 3

So right there you are at 52 without Wade and Whiteside

Say Whiteside is HALF as good as the lemmings think he will be- so what? AT LEAST 14M if Robin Lopez is getting 12- more likely something like 16.

Wade? Whats the lowest he would take? 15?

So thats 84.--- so thats 6 million left---- OBVIOUSLY not enough to sign Durant to a 30M dollar contract- which is 1/3 of the cap- which is what he will get.

So they just ditch Wade

69M.....thats still just 21M under the cap- and Durant will be eligible for up to 30M a year.....

The math just does no work unless they get rid of whiteside AND Wade- or if those guys sign deals that are SIGNIFICANTLY under market value--- which is about as likely as a monkey flying out of Mario Chalmers ass.

You've given out 25 rainbows. CL has given out 23.
