    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    I'm liking an idea of trading the #10 pick for Gortat and offering Igoudala a 4 year 35m contract. Iggy isn't nearly as good as he used to be and had a very down year but he is a great defender and Gortat is a good defender and a big body. They would both help us out defensively and you could have either Iggy or Wes coming off the bench, would add to our depth and we would become a playoff team in the west. How good of a playoff team i'm not sure, I think we would be able to at least get to the second round.

    Normally this is how I would feel too, but not in this draft. It would be great to move up, but IMO, it would also be great to swing big in a trade and then move down. You are right though....Swing big somewhere

    In his first post-firing interview, George Karl is not pleased.

    I don't see why KG waiving the no-trade is a big deal.

    He's washed up and should contemplate retirement.

    Yesterday, Colin Cowherd talked about a Dwight Howard for Chris Bosh trade. He said, and I agree, that it makes tons of sense for both teams.

    And the rich get richer...

    You read faster than me. I just finished. Karl says that his contract had an unusual 3-year team option. Kroenke Jr. wouldn't commit, so Karl offered a 1-year renewal, but warned that one or two assistant coaches might split for greener pastures because of the 1-year horizon. He says he simply argued for a position, while Kroenke sent out rumors of insubordination. The same thing happened with Wally Walker when the Sonics fired him.

    The Nuggets were .695 last season and .620 in his 8 1/2 years. His last losing season was 25 years ago when he coached Golden State. This off-season is strange because Hollins and del Negro were fired after .683 records. 6 of the 16 playoff coaches were fired before the playoffs ended.

    pretty impressive stuff. I also had cause to reflect on the Blazers past glories, when he spoke of how management had grown to believe that winning was easy..

    So the Clips would basically end up as CP3/Crawford/Butler/KG/Dwight?

    Hes still quite effective. If you're comparing him now to his prime years I guess you could say hes washed up but even now hes better than most bigs in the league. Hes been playing a very similar role to Bosh the last few years, except hes a better defender (well I guess they're about the same now but he also has incredible IQ on defense). Its not like adding Dwight, but he'd be a very nice get for the Clips.

    That would be a sign-and-trade of Howard, so he has to agree to it. "Why wouldn't he?" you say. Because he doesn't want to be third banana. And he's never been pals with LeBron the way he seems to be with Paul.

    I thought two teams in luxury tax can't do a sign and trade?

    I think the Lakers add no salary cap, suck next year and make a big move next summer for a couple max players (when Kobe's 30M/ yr ends).

    Bosh has 3 yrs left at 20M/yr (assuming he doesn't opt out) and I just don't see Lakers taking on that kind of contract.
