josh smith is gonna be a bargain
who signs him?
who signs him?
I was just thinking the same thing about Monta. How is he not in a conversation about getting a near max? I mean everyones getting paid right now.Random 1st day thoughts...
- Somebody get Boogie out of there... @Malta it's killing me to see a borderline transcendent big man just waste away on a team where the GM DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE RULES...
- All this "this team really impressed Aldridge talk" is just a smoke screen...it's bad business for his camp to come out and say "we not signing to so and so" because every time they do they lose a little leverage...realistically only two teams can really sign him...Portland if he cares about the money but they gutted their team so bad they will struggle to make the 8th seed...and SA cause they are the only legit championship caliber team built to win pretty much as long as Duncan plays and Pop coaches...Phoenix and Houston are going to have to give up 3 of their top 5 players in a sign and trade which just about kills their championship chances (houston) or playoff chances (phoenix)...
Dallas or the Clippers are going to be SUPREMELY fukkED when DJ picks one and not the other...this is no other rim protector, rebounder, or post defender near Deandre's level available and both of these teams completely fall apart on the defense end without one...Dirk is going to get dunked into early retirment and good lord at the clippers replacing Deandre with more minutes from big baby and maybe keindrick perkins...Whoever doesn't get him probably goes after Hibbert and get's fleeced by Larry legend for what few assets they still have...
-at the southwest division and the league in general ducking a Davis / Chandler pairing...Pelicans kept both bigs that should have had an easy job of picking up AD scraps last year but neither one of them could do it consistently...Chandler would have been
doing nothing but getting offensive rebounds and catching lobs around the rim...
- If the Spurs get Aldridge that means the Hawks helped the Spurs remain a championship contender and the Spurs in return gave the Hawks an alternate reality version of the front court they won a title with last year...Spurs are on the cusp of turning an injury prone habitually posterized center into a top 5 pf...
- Can't do anything butBron fleecing Gilbert and building the best possible team Cleveland can...and will ever...have...
- Draymond almost fukked up his money cause no other team is going to value what he does more than the Warriors...I am pretty sure after a few calls his agent told him "take that fukking deal with GS right now before they find out what so and so offered us
- Greg Monroe is about to become the most effortless 'max" paid big of all time...he literally doesn't have to do anything but wait for Aldridge and Jordan to sign
- Monta Ellis and Matt Barnes have the worst agents in sports...
- Vivek is about to get a rule named after him in the next CBA along the lines of "You can't trade a 1st round pick so many years into the future while you already have another 1st round pick traded so many years into the future"...this rule was coming any way they are just going to erase Billy King name and replace it with Vivek's...

Countdown to Armageddon
Lakers would have theirs if they're as bad this season as they were this past one. In fact, judging by the lack of moves and their complete botching of all pitches to potential free agents, that may just be their plan.

Countdown to Armageddon
Except that's exactly what they did with LA. There would be no point in claiming Phoenix had an impressive pitch if that wasn't the case.

I don't understand how Barnes becomes an integral role player on every team he plays for but only ever gets 1 year vet minimum contracts

eienaar van mans
True...but realistically nobody could ever think for a second he was signing there...
Nobody is
Come on...dude said he is going to visit the knicks tomorrow

Logic Is Absent Wherever Hate Is Present
According to a person with knowledge of his situation, the free agent forward who declined a $12.2 million player option to stay with the Indiana Pacers next season, has serious interest in playing for the San Antonio Spurs or the Golden State Warriors. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the free agency process.
West, the 34-year-old who was an All Star while with the New Orleans Hornets in 2008 and 2009, would have to take a veteran's minimum deal to play with the Warriors ($1.49 million annually) and would likely take a significant pay cut to play for the Spurs. But as he told WTHR's Bob Kravitz in an interview on Wednesday, he is hell-bent on playing for a contender.

Still gotta get rid of Lee first. That could be the holdup. Where would you rather spend that money, on West or Bellinelli?Damn if we can get David West off the benchThat 15 foot jumper he has is still money.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Will OKC be able to keep Kanter with the way these contracts are going?
Yeah we keeping him. Just a matter of working something out or matching but he will be here.
That's a tough choice cuz i think west is pretty good still, but i'd probably lean toward bellinelli. If West gave the W's and indication earlier they probably would not have picked up speights' option and signed west. Man I don't know how we're gonna get rid of Lee. I haven't seen any talk of a team remotely interested.
