Are you serious?

When I think who wants Rashard Lewis on their team I assumed the answer is nobody.

Never thought he was that bad.  Just was overpaid like crazy. 

Anthony Randolph was a guy I always thought had great potential.

I like him. He's a beast dunker. I liked him in the knicks too bad we didn't give him a chance.

Lewis will be a King. I'm calling it.

you could have Granger for Tyreke.........

PLEASE

With Lewis just kinda think what does he bring to the table? IMO he has regressed since signing the huge contract.

As far as Randolph

I always laugh when ppl talk about his attitude. Always feel it's more associated to the sad fed up expression on his face but yeah I doubt he ever reaches his potential. Beasely on the other hand just needs to be in the right situation. Back during the trade deadline I had wished he did ended up on the LAL.

 

[xbiker47]

I really hope Nash doesnt sign with Toronto

I want to see him have a shot at a ring

 

[ballinsam23]

Nash would turn the raptors into a playoff team. Only reason i think he doesnt sign there is because it wont really do anything extra for his career.

 

[pmatic]

So is Denver going to give Javale McGee a qualifying offer? If he hits free agency as an unrestricted free agent, I can't imagine what he could command.
As far as Nash is concerned, I don't think he defines his career by getting a ring or not. He just wants to play well and enjoy himself.

Beasley has all the skills and ability in the world, and is really effective in his chances.  I feel like Kobe would push him to be VERY good

I agree, I want him on the lakers, thought it would be by trade though for salary purposes

@hornets247 Was just told that Houston is putting together an offer for Gordon S&T that centers around K.Martin and young players. Will allow Hornets to

@hornets247 choose any 2-3 of the following if they are interested: Patterson, Lamb, White, Montiejunas, T.Jones. Doubt Hornets say yes, but they do

@hornets247 like Martin. Either way, teams r going to go after Gordon and the Hornets will not get a discount this summer. Will have to pay max or close

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Told yall EJ would be basically getting max

 

[ballinsam23]

Hornets HAVE TO take that deal if true

. So i guess Austin Rivers really is going to play point

K. Martin + combination of Lamb/Patterson/Jones/White

 

[shuges]

Man, the L really is changing. Crazy that not many teams will be lining up for Rashard, Gilbert, Antawn Jamison.... Those guys are pretty much viewed as washed up now. Crazy.

 

[duba169]

Gordon getting a max is nuts to me

 

[essential1]

If hornets take that deal they deserved to be contracted.

EG at $13mil for 4 years (most he can get) > Kevin Martin's $12mil contract year.

No possible way Hornets go over luxury tax. And also if they did wouldn't be for a couple years and it'd take 4 luxury tax seasons to be a repeat offender.

Very bad trade for the Hornets

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Thats an absolute steal for the Hornets...

Take Martin and Martin 2.0 aka Lamb and Terrence Jones

What has Gordon proved to get a max deal?

 Martin will opt out in a year so no long term committment is great. 

Jack/Rivers/Greasy

Martin/Lamb/Rivers/Henry

Aminu

Davis/Ayon

Kaman??

 

[|A-Man|]

Why wouldn't NOLA take that deal? Save money and get more cheap young talent. Plus Martin.

I too don't understand how Gordon is getting max or near it especially after a season where he was injured for the majority of it.

 

[scientific method]

Rashard Lewis being amnestied intrigues me. He averaged 7ppg last yr on career lows across the board (24& 3, 39%fg), but he is still a career 39% 3pt shooter and 46% from the field. Was he just sandbagging because he was unhappy? He shot 40% from 3 playing in Orlando, 35% as recently as 2 seasons ago. I wonder if he wants to go home to Houston, if not, we got a bench roster spot open for you in OKC I think. We buy out Cook, he becomes a bigger, better version, not to mention with him and KD tutoring PJ3, no way dude doesn't reach his full potential. His comparative upsides would basically be right there on his team.

I like A.R too, when Nelson loosened the reigns on him and let him play in G.S that dude was nasty. He always looks like he is about to start crying though.

Beasley also was not extended a qualifying offer.He shot 38% from 3 last yr. I wouldn't be mad at him in our 2nd unit with lifetime buddy, KD

I think I want Presti to go after Beasley. I know he is trying to put together a team of boy scouts, or guys who appear as such, but *#%! it, it's worth the risk.

What is Morey thinking man?

 

[sooperhooper]

Hornets can make some noise if they play their cards right.

And people thought the new CBA would reign in stupid spending...Please do that, Houston. Give New Orleans all the young talent you just put together and max out on EG. PLEASE.
