2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors (Merged threads)

they've been seemingly wanting to play him as a PF for a while now. Asik allows that to happen

 

Horford is actually natural PF...

 

Does anyone else find it hilarious that Marcus Camby is going in reverse through the teams in his career? Back to the Knicks and now with the team that drafted him. I find it very amusing.

 

Good. After we helped them out by taking Robinson off their hands, their little chemistry experiment blows up in their face. Perfect.

 

I guess I just see that as a waste of his skills.

Kind of like Al Jefferson, he CAN play PF, but he has so many more advantages at C.

 

45 tweets and 100 followers.

I'm not sure I'm buying it.

 

I think he and Al Jeff are pretty undersized for centers. Their natural positions really should be power forward.

 

I have heard Dwight mention in the past that he plays best with a stretch 4 like Ryan Anderson. So Josh Smith is a surprise, but I guess if they are really good friends then he may be blinded by the fact that Josh plays best around the hoop or in transition.

 

Atlanta has a great shot at being a full blown tank master.

Get rid of horford's salary; have a semi decent team to work in a wiggins as the man. Have a shit ton of cap space to build in a stacked free agent class in 2014. Perfect storm?

 

But they both excel at C.

Quickness, outside shooting stroke, can take centers away from the basket, etc.

 

Huh? PF's his natural position. He's played quite a bit there in the league and was a PF the entire time at Florida.

Darren Collison is unrestricted since Dallas didn't extend qualifying offer. Collison wants to join a contender, source tells @TheRocketGuy.

Hmmm.... Collison for backup point guard? Wonder how much he'll get.

 

It's pretty much as good of a source as anything not named Woj.

 

Thats what I was thinking with the whole if they strike out in FA thread.

And apparently the bucks are trying to poach Teague from them.

 

Don't know if this is old news in this thread, but apparently Rondo is upset with the recent Garnett/Pierce trade and wants the Celtics to get Josh Smith -

They don't have cap space, so I guess it'd have to be a sign-and-trade. Maybe they could send Humphries and some of Brooklyn's picks to Atlanta in a sign-and-trade. That would really play into Atlanta's "building towards the future" plan, with Humphries coming off the books next summer.

Portland isn't a contender....

 

Good observation

 

And they don't have to worry about the fans. They have absolutely zero support; even when they were a playoff team. The fans can wait and maybe adding wiggins can bring fan support back.

 

Which contender is going to be able to afford him? Or is he willing to take the vet minimum?
