2012 NBA Free Agent Watch Thread

[PTBG]

next time these two pose for pictures, they better have Wolves jerseys

Rubio-Iggy-Love-Pek and possibly Batum. That squad would be a hella fun squad to watch and be a problem, but IDK if it goes through though. Would the Sixers trade him for Derrick Williams and other pieces only than?

me neither. Kahn's trying to do a S&T with Portland without using Derrick. If that happens, you never know. The team would become crazy expensive going forward, but Glen's gotta spend that dough. My hope is that if they do sacrifice at the bigs, that they use summer league to aggressively fill the last couple of spots with just bigs and may the best man win. Honestly, this team's scouting has to get their shyt together and actually identify cheap talent. That will keep this team under the lux tax and won't force the team to overpay for marginal talent.

There's no way on earth they end up with Batum and Andre. It's one or the other or none at all.

Houston would willingly help facilitate a trade to help the lakers build a super team in their conference?

Just to have a C who played One full season (a lockout shortened season at that) in his career?

Houston knows they're not winning anything in the near future, they just want a piece to build around and/or bring in fans.

No matter how you slice it Bynum is the second best center in the league by a pretty sizable margin. Houston was willing to rent Dwight knowing damn well he was going to leave the next season, if the help the Lakers out they have a much better shot of keeping Bynum since they were on his "list".

Rockets and Magic discussing direct two-team deals for Dwight-to-HOU & three-team scenario reported by @EricPincus. Story going online now

 

[red222]

Andrew Ungvari ‏@DrewUnga HOU's picks: TOR (top-3 protect), MEM's (lotto protected), DAL (top-20 protect). HOU's pick is BK's (unless top-14).

In short: Lakes need 3rd team to do Dwight deal. Nets do NOT but direct ORL deal TRICKY. Rockets can do it direct or facilitate & get Bynum

 

[CapitalOne]

Marc Stein: Rockets' position strengthened, sources say, by fact no team has yet offered Magic better pick than first-rounder via Toronto in Lowry trade

 

[FAH1223]

I swear this trade will never be done

 

[Kings County]
