How does Derek Fisher have so many suitors!? All from contenders too...

Because of all of his "intangibles" and "veteran leadership"

The maximum amount of money a player can sign for is contingent on the number of years that player has played and the total of the salary cap.

I don't understand why they couldn't pick up some shooters. Honestly in this last season, the only dude who could create his own shot outside the post was Kobe. Blake, Fish,Sessions,Meta...all those dudes couldn't shoot worth a damn.

Miller's contract would be for 3 years and pay him an average of $3 million a season, according to sources.

i know, i put some blame on kobe at times for shooting too much , but hell who is he gonna pass to? streaky ass shooters, no one we have causes good floor spacing around the perimeter because NONE of those fools are a consistent knock down jumper threat

I've been thinking about this whole scenario/situation on this squad more, If Kobe tried to prove a point and not shoot as much and be a facilitator, with the CURRENT SQUAD, he'd pass the ball to gasol, who would try a few moves, hold the ball for a bit of the clock then pass it back to kobe with < 7 seconds on the shot clock forcing kobe into horrible shots

we have to move gaysoft, and i am hoping a straight up bynum for D12 trade, I really really hope now that the Nets made some moves they don't/won't have the cap room, so his wishes to goto the Nets are over, and maybe he'll settle on the Lakeshow as a second option? I can hope

That's my center you're talkin' about

 

[Brock Landers]

I hope Ray re-signs brehs because I remember he ripped on David West passing up joining the Celtics over money. KG back, Jeff Green seemingly begging to return, two great rookie picks at the 4-5 spots. If not I hope the C's go after someone like OJ Mayo

hollinger talkin bout hawks can offer the max to BOTH dwight and cp3 next year cuz devin harris comes off the books..and thats if they dont trade for dwight now. apparently dwight is real close w/ j smith and anthony morrow so i guess ferry is trying to entice him and cp3 wanted to be drafted by hawks (they chose marvin )

unlikely to happen but this team would be filthy and right there w mia/okc(and be there kryptonite) to win it all w/ another perimeter defender:

d12
horford
smith
morrow/jenkins
cp3




dwight is retarded for BK tho and i dont see how they get cp3 w/o dwight so its just a pipedream for atlanta, but that boy ferry is definitely tryin to topsy turvy that mother******
