NBA Free Agency

[ACamp1900]

GeorgiaDomer, not trying to hate, but just saw that you are a Yankees/Lakers/Cowboys fan....seriously? Do you cheer for the bad guy to win in movies?

yeah I just noticed that too... he has a team from every single region of the country on his icons...

what do they all have in common though??..... hmmmmmmm.

 

[BillyIrish]

True, but for 2 seasons he'd be living in and playing in what many people consider a dump of a city and building. That cannot be be highlighted enough, how bad/boring people say that area is. I don't have first-hand knowledge of it, and maybe Jersey folks can help set me straight, but make so mistake, he's NOT getting the New York glamour for at least the first 2 years he's there.

The one calling card the Nets have though, is Jay-Z. Maybe Jay-Z can get LeBron to be there for those 2 years until they move to Brooklyn...

NDinLA, been to Cleveland lately?

The only way LeBron stays is if the Cavs can some how upgrade their roster. As it stands now, it truly is the James Gang. IMO he is going to be a Knick. we'll see though...

 

[DirtySecret]

yea i know saw that but who would really want to go to the bulls and have to live in mj shadow. no matter what u did it would be compared to mj.

Isn't Kobe being compared to MJ? Kobe plays for the Lakers, too. So any great player is going to be compared to the great one, that point blank and period.

 

[nd1]

lebron bosh and d wade have meet in miami to discuss their future. said they talked all three signing with heat. but lebron and bosh have talked about going to the bulls.

you right but just imagine if kobe played on the bulls. it would be twice as bad.

front running???

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

yeah buddy

yeah buddy

front running???

ND,and the BOYS have been tearing it up the last 15 years

 

[nd1]

paul pirece just opted out of the last year of his deal with boston. also chris bosh wants to max contract and the only way to do that is to sign back with raptors or a sign and trade.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

lebron an dirk need to hook up some where that would be nasty

 

[Irish.Ca]

Seriously, why wouldn't they all want to sign in Miami, to much great weather or is it all the eye candy with fake boobs and tan lines? No income tax or some sort of no tax (I'm a canuck so I only know about what IS taxed, everything here but it pays for our healthcare).
They could all sign for around 15 million a year or a little less to add more role players and back ups. IMO that Bosh get a bigger contract as Wade & Lebron both make BIG $$$ through deals outside of basketball.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

lebron would never have it

lebron needs to make the most money and score the most where ever he goes!

ego's will stop that from happening. like i said before theres only one ball and all three will want the ball when it's game time. well atleast d wade and lebron would.

 

[Irish.Ca]

I'm pretty sure that there isn't much of a demand for the ball at the end of the game unless its for the trophy case when they're up by 10-15 in the last 2 mins. Maybe they could run the triangle offense.

 

[nd1]

chris broussard was just on with colin cowherd and he whats he hearing is lebron would stay with cavs.that the rumor of bosh for byrum with lakers probably isn't going to happen and he sees bosh and joe johnson with the knicks. he also said he could see bosh with heat. just depends on if bosh does sign and trade.

 

[nd1]

the hawks have offered joe johnson a max contract to stay in thr atl. don't really thiink he is a max contract guy but who knows.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

I just have a gut feeling that most of these free agents are just going to resign with their teams. That includes LeBron. The only player I see moving will be Bosh.

i think boozer goes to the bulls

 

[IrishSLC]

Boozer sign and trade to Orlando is the rumor today here in SLC.
My predictions...

Lebron to Nets
Wade stays in Miami
Bosh to Bulls
Joe Johnson stays in Atlanta
Dirk stays in Dallas
Pierce stays in Boston
Stoudemire to NY Knicks
Lee stays with Knicks
Rudy Gay to Knicks

Just a bunch of guesses...

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Lebron STAYS
Wade stays in Miami AGREED
Bosh to Bulls AGREED
Joe Johnson stays could just as easily see him in NYC
Dirk stays in Dallas Agreed
Pierce stays in Boston AGREED
Stoudemire TO SOUTH BEACH
Lee stays with Knicks AGREED
Rudy Gay to Knicks AGREED

Ray Allen to Cleveland

Ray Allen to Cleveland

pretty much agree with everything but i think lebron goes to bulls.


just said on radio that joe johnson was getting ready to accept the hawks offer and he would be astupid if he didn't.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Rudy Gay re-signed with Memphis. Hell, even Darko has re-signed for 5mil per.... Crazy money for his services in my opinion.

 

[KPENN]

Lol. Darko.

 

[IrishSLC]

Darko 5Mill? Seriously? Pistons & Darko = Chargers & Leaf.

Now that I think of it might be worse. Det missed out on Melo, Wade, Bosh....pretty much a huuuuuge miss.

Actually, Darko plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I think he was refering to how Detroit drafted darko

Understood. Just pointing out the fact that he's currently with the T-Pups.

 

[KPENN]

Gotcha.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Also pointing out the fact that not only did Det. miss on the draft pick, but the T-pups have gone above and beyond the Pistons stupidity and offered him an asinine amount of money for what he gives you.

True that. The wolves have been a disaster since KG left
