NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Because he stupidly opted in to another year with the team he didn't want to play for anymore, denying himself a chance to be a free agent? -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Two problems with that pick, as much as I want it to be true: 1. This isn't LeBron to the Heat, redux. In 2011 the Heat brought in the three best free agents available and then had to figure out how they were going to play together. Every Lakers star has a different role on that team... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
No they won't, they'll have been handed LeBron and Kyrie Irving by then. No I'm not bitter. -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Can someone lend me a katrillion dollars so I can bet that Dwight will eventually re-sign with the Lakers? -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
I don't know, the story is that Dwight bitched at Hennigan for not trading him sooner. And that's the funniest thing I've heard this week. The guy pouts for a year, demands to be traded, then opts in for 2012, then completely blows up his current team's leverage by demanding to be traded to one... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Dwight has some leverage, but the reason the deal isn't done is because Orlando's being patient waiting to get the best offer they can get. -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Of course he's saying that, because of the dumb rule where he can only get the maximum extension by waiting until the off-season to re-sign. -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
The loopholes are actually designed to help all teams keep their star players, believe it or not. -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Let's go back a few steps. The Lakers can afford to pay Dwight and stay "under" the salary cap for two reasons. 1. The salary cap is a "soft cap." The NHL and the NFL, for two examples, have hard caps. There is a set dollar amount, and no team can spend more than that amount on its players... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
I hope he falls into a volcano. JO, February 2012: "Hey guys, trading deadline's coming up and we're not very good. You should probably trade me to a contender." Every team Danny Ainge called, February 2012: "LOL" JO, March 2012: "Hey guys, I need season ending surgery now!" -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
The Sixers are trying to win. They won't be trading their best player in his contract year. -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Kobe actually said "trade me to Chicago...wait, shit, you want Chicago's good players back? Fuck that." -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Why even bother to look at their lineup? There's no way in hell they were going to trade a top 5 player and get better on the court. The bigger problem is the financial situation. If they're going to give Lopez a long max contract (yeesh), they still have Hedo on the books for likely the next 2... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Sure, it's huge. But my point was, it's not like teams can out-spend each other for a free agent. Any team under the cap would pay the maximum salary for Bynum. It's not baseball, where the Yankees can double everyone else's best offer. The only team that can offer more than anyone else is the... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
There is no such thing as a huge contract in basketball. Any team under the cap can give Bynum the same amount of money. And unless he gets traded there, you'll never see Bynum in a Cavaliers jersey. By saying "oh, I like teams A, B, and C, and I also like team D where I am" he's sending a... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
Again, if Batum hated Portland so much, refusing the qualifying offer was a pretty stupid decision. Under any CBA in sports, both players and teams have certain rights. The RFA rules are pretty clearly laid out, and there was no reason to think Portland wouldn't re-sign him given that Portland... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
I'm starting to hate this trend of restricted free agents crying that they don't want their team to match the offer sheet they signed. First Eric Gordon and now Batum trying to pull this shit. If you want to leave your team as soon as possible, sign the qualifying offer and play out the season... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
I moved on from Ray after the Celtics got Terry. Obviously I'd rather not see him go to the defending champs, and I'm slightly, SLIGHTLY butt-hurt over the fact that he took a huge pay-cut to leave Boston for Miami. He brought my city a championship, and that will never be forgotten. Now tear... -
NBA Offseason Discussion Thread
What did Cuban screw up, exactly? He could've re-signed Tyson Chandler to huge money and could've re-signed the other scrubs that left after last season, sure. And he didn't get the free agents he wanted to get this summer, sure. So that's the end? I don't see it. The Mavericks are set up to...
