u guys think rudy gay would be agood fit for lakers?

kobe canteach him a few things maybe and we need young wing players

Wait so the new Toronto GM took that deal?

no, guess Detroit offered it.

hope they accept

i need some excitement in Detroit.

wont who else is on the radar, i think if the deal goes through it will eat up about $1 mill in the capsace we have so that leaves us with $19 mill to spend

Several other teams have expressed interest in Brand, according to the source. Brand also remains "very interested" in returning to the Mavs, he said in a text message to ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon. Dallas contacted Brand in the opening minutes of free agency to touch base.

Brand is attracted to the Knicks because of their winning culture and first-class organization, the source said. In addition, the team is close to his hometown -- Peekskill, N.Y. -- and his mother, Daisy, still lives nearby. Quality of life is also important to him as he decides on his next team, the source said.

I'm still kind of shocked that Brand has been this comfortable with the Mavs. That said, he seemed to take Carlisle's coaching better than anyone else, the talent just wasn't there for them to succeed.

And a few of you were mentioning how Cuban wont spend this year if we don't get Dwight. Cuban has gone on record saying he also doesn't plan on signing a bunch of one year guys, so take that for what it's worth. He knows Dirk doesn't want another year like last year.

Someone explain to me what Joe Dumars is doing.

It's so surreal. It's like after the wild recent summers he decided this is his time to act up and wild out.

I don't understand what TOR would be doing taking that deal after just getting Rudy.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I would see If I could get DET to include an young asset, maybe see if Andre Igaudala signs with Sac town.

but if that fails just accept the deal.

because he sucks.

I like that the kings and pelicans are taking steps towards putting a competent team on the floor night in and night out.

Granted, they're overpaying players but, in their situations they have to. Players who are worth the money they are throwing aren't coming to those teams, so this is what they are faced with.

 

[you big dummy]

Makes sense for the Raptors. They aren't winning anything with Rudy, they might as well get rid of his contract and try to start over.


Toronto just needs to convince Stern to stick around another 6 months...

I think we all acknowledge the reality that markets like Sacramento and New Orleans have to overpay players, but most of the time they overpay in order to make the playoffs then get swept... as the best case scenario. For some franchises, a few years of just making the playoffs certainly might be preferred over being top 5 in the lottery every year, but it's hard to be excited as an outside fan when teams overpay to join basketball purgatory.

Kings pulled the offer for Iggy

The Kings have pulled their offer for free agent Andre Iguodala & will no longer pursue him, I'm told. Story to come.

New Development

 

[durantula]

Jesus Christ...what the hell are the Kings doing!?

You know how everyone is always like "ain't nobody wanna go to Sacramento"

This is how you convince them to go to Sacramento.

repped

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Well that's no fun

 

[Deleted member 38182]

[shoeking2101]

Iggy was probably pricing out cars and a yacht when he got the news.

yup, tank and get a top pick next season. plus cap space with Stuckey and CV gone. not sure who else is expiring on the Raptors but things could shape up for them if they suck bad enough.

Maybe shoot 5 of 6 from the free throw line too??? That would really stick it to them

Great send off to bed

 

[big j 33]

Jokes aside, McLemore is probably going to score 1 point against Iggy this season when they play.
