Re: ~**~2013 NBA Offseason Thread - Free Agency begin July 1~**~

Jason Kidd met with him this morning. He was the first free agent the Nets approach.

Now time for Krover to take a pay cut and join up with BK too.

Only thing left on the list is a back up PG

Ya and it looks like knicks are in the lead for brooks...maybe kidd can be a player/coach lol

Re: ~**~2013 NBA Offseason Thread - Free Agency begin July 1~**~

Lmao at the new rule limiting Miami to do sign and trade if they above the salary cap

YOU REALLY THINK THAT SHIT MATTERS?

Oh yeah there is zero risk in going after Bynum and Oden

Hell take both

Re: ~**~2013 NBA Offseason Thread - Free Agency begin July 1~**~

Got something else for you Jack....it's a hella long shot but the league would be fucked royally!!!!


The Heat is interested in Andrew Bynum....




With the addition of center Nerlens Noel the chances of the Philadelphia 76ers trying to re-sign Andrew Bynum are very slim. *Bynum was expected to command a big pay day and long term deal but after sitting out the entire season and constant, waning health concerns, there aren’t many teams who would be willing to take that chance. *Read more after the jump.

He may be best off looking for a one-year deal with some team so he can prove himself worthy of a decent long-term contract next summer. If he’s really willing to play on the cheap, a sleeper spot could be the*Miami Heat, who reportedly have been kicking the tires on another perpetually injured big man in*Greg Oden.

Take the report with a grain salt, it’s really just something to think about. *Everyone knows the Heat needs to add size and if they’re actually considering Greg Oden then why not Bynum. *The only problem would be if Bynum is willing to play for cheap one-year or if he’ll actually receive a lucrative offer from a team during free agency. *We’ll just have to wait and see, July 1st kicks everything off.

Let this happen.

Houston had that commitment from Lucas to stay working with him. Cuban use to want dude in the worse way, nice move keeping him on the squad. Like I said bro, if yall are healthy in May & D. Will back to 100%...don't concede the East.

Yep

Nets got a squad

Can't even hate

They put the best team they could together given all their circumstances

Fuck conceding the game still has to be played on the court

Re: ~**~2013 NBA Offseason Thread - Free Agency begin July 1~**~

I guess that would open the doors for the Mavs to swoop in and sign Jennings to an offer sheet

People are overrating Bledsoe and this is coming from somebody who isn't a Jennings fan

Both are like undersized 2s to me, but Bledsoe comes with less off the court goofy shit.

What i'm hearing is the Heat is going after Oden and Bynum. Remember this is the last season under contract for atleast the big three so it will be a lot of cap room in 2014. If Miami can get these two they would play limited roles this season which would be a big help to the three peat.

Jennings isn't an off the court problem though bro

I think he is the better player of the two but such a liabilty on defense

What takes these niggas so long to add size and strength

Not a legal problem, but just a fucking goofball...the youtubes, the shit with the hoes, you know the Dallas media would be all over that shit. They'd create problems.

Re: ~**~2013 NBA Offseason Thread - Free Agency begin July 1~**~

NBA Legion ‏@MySportsLegion The Bulls and Mike Dunleavy Jr are finalizing a two year deal, worth $6 million.

Nice backup off the bench for Chicago

Yea....
Dunleavy is a better shooter and defender than Korver and Marco. The only thing is Marco was able to create shots. Dunleavy really cant. But still...hell of a nice pick up considering the cash that we have. He was putting up nice numbers with limited mins over the last few years.

anyways....the asst. coach firing has me scratching my head; considering how the bulls have been playing over the last 3 years. I know he's just an assistant..but still. Hope there aint any problems behind closed doors.

Be careful what you wish for

I could see Bynum playing for a yr and showing out only to get a multi yr deal the next from another team

If he do go to the Heat add 3 straight chips

The New Orleans Pelicans are attempting to trade Robin Lopez, according to sources.

The Pelicans are looking to clear cap space in order to compete a sign-and-trade with the Sacramento Kings for Tyreke Evans.

Ainge: Celtics Have 'No Intentions Of Moving' Rondo
Jul 01, 2013 11:12 PM EDT


Danny Ainge admits he has received calls about the Boston Celtics potentially trading Rajon Rondo, but he was adamant Monday that the team is not bringing up the point guard in discussions and there is no plan to trade him.

"I always listen to calls and listen to what ideas are, but we have no intentions of moving Rajon," Ainge said.

"The calls are coming in, the calls have not been going out. I think that the assumption is that, [given] what we are trying to accomplish, the reports are such that maybe the assumption is that we'll give away any of our players. We have had calls."

Rondo, who is rehabilitating a torn ACL, has been in trade rumors this offseason and in past years.

Do you watch basketball or do you just say this shit. You are aware Kyle krover finish statistically wise in front of Mike in regards of shooting. the same krover who broke steve kerr 3 point percentage record back in 2010

True Shooting Pct
1. Tyson Chandler-NYK .671
2. Kevin Durant-OKC .647
3. LeBron James-MIA .640
4. Kyle Korver-ATL .637
5. Jose Calderon-TOT

Mike D is a better shooter than Kyle Krover??? Post mike D shooting percentage the last two years in comparison to krover. Again let me ask do you watch basketball or just make random comments

As a fan of a potential contender (Bulls)...The LAST thing I want is Andrew Bynum on the Heat.. You dudes fronting talking about "Please".. Bynum on the Heat is as automatic of a ring as anything in history (Barring Injury)...I think you dudes forget that just 2 years ago this dude was the best offensive center in the league and is decent on defense......Miami with a LEGIT 7 foot scoring threat is completely unfair.

He will NEVER again show he's serious about basketball. That's why I want him to go to Miami soooooo badly. He'll fuck a lot of shit up down there. Then the bandwagoners will jump shit quick!!! Gone are his years of taking anything basketball related seriously.

Pacers strong candidate to land Chris Copeland
The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks free agent Chris Copeland have a strong mutual interest, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Copeland, 29, played his career overseas until making a successful leap to the NBA last season. Multiple teams are in pursuit of him, but the Pacers are emerging as a strong possible destination for him, sources said.
– Adrian Wojnarowski, 1:27 p.m. ET, July 1

I think he feels he was disrespected. He was doing his thing and got traded for another center. In his mind he probably feels like fuck everyone. Plus he got sent to Philly of all places.

The lack of big men in this current NBA will stop that from happening but I wouldn't even be mad if it did

Dude is a joke right now

He is still young enough to turn it around but I don't think he cares
