2012 NBA Free Agent Watch Thread

Jrue Holiday wants a max contract.

I really don't understand Dwight's fixation on the Nets.

Even with him and DWill they aren't winning anything anyway....so what is driving him to this 'Net's or Bust' sh*t??

If they were able to add Dwight through free agency to a team that included Deron, Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson, and Marshon Brooks, they probably would be dangerous but I wouldn't necessarily call them favorites even in the East. They might be a top 3 team though.

But if they somehow do make trade for him, Lopez and Brooks and probably every other 1st round pick for the next 20 years are gone.

I do think if Dwight ever does find his way to Brooklyn, he'll probably have more media hate on him than Lebron did, and I'm not sure Dwight can handle it.

The only positive is that he'd be going to a team that New Yorkers generally don't care about, so on a local level, Dwight Howard won't feel the same kind of wrath STAT and Melo feel. We'll see if that changes though, because New Yorkers love ripping players that don't come through.

at Jeff Green resigning with the C's, I commend dude for his loyalty even if he didn't get to play a full year due to the injury - Ainge had talked about how Jeff loved the team chemistry and city etc. It sets the C's up nicely along with the big men draft picks and a possible run at somebody like OJ Mayo if Ray doesn't decide to return (which I don't think will happen, dude has invested too much into Boston to suddenly leave to Miami for less money).

ar Jrue Holiday

Chris Kaman will work out for the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

Given the uncertainty of the Roy Hibbert offer sheet (a max deal from the Portland Trail Blazers), Kaman might be an alternative for the Pacers. Kaman is looking for a contract worthy of a starting center. Would the Pacers keep Hibbert and sign Kaman or is Chris the alternative to potentially overpaying Hibbert?

According to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Los Angeles Lakers guard Darius Morris has accepted the team’s qualifying offer to stay with the team for another year.

The NBA is currently in the annual moratorium in which moves are severely restricted (trades, general free agent signings) but one of the allowed moves (from July 1-10) includes restricted free agents agreeing to their qualifying offers.

Morris is expected to make $962,195 for the 2012/13 NBA Season. He would remain a restricted free agents next summer should the team issue another qualifying offer.
