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

Fucking Lakers.

Fuck them.

Fuck them.

If the NBA had any integrity that would put a stop to this total bullshit.

 

The Lakers shenanigans are definitely suspect, but then again, I feel pretty confident that no team will ever win a championship with Dwight Howard as its best player. Especially if getting own TV show is what gets him to sign somewhere.

 

Okay so far we have CJ, Crabbe, Withey, Robinson without dealing any of our core.

Possible: Asik for Hickson (sign and trade)

If the possible could happen:
That would eat up all but around 1 mil of cap space and a 2.5 min mle. I would really like us to maybe trade out Leonard or Matthews to free up another 6 mil, so we could offer Tony Allen around 6-7 mil.

Now here are a few things to consider.

1.) We are meeting with Allen. Could we tell Allen to wait until we finalize the deal with Houston?

Both of these below were brought up by other posters.

2.) Hickson hasn't been let go; so we have the option to sign and trade him. Hickson would be all for going to Houston because they will most likely be a winning organization and he would most definitely start

3.) Asik and Hickson have the same agent; so under the table talk can be made via the agent.

 

You are genius! i wish i could rep you a thousand times!

Okay that's like bringing a crack dealer to a crack head and saying; "The Dealer can come, as long as he doesn't sell the crackhead something illegal"

 

Whoaaaa.

Tyreke getting 11 or 12 mill per year.

 

4 years, 40 million offer to Tyreke Evans.

I guess Kaman is all we can afford

 

Tony Allen would be great but I highly doubt we have the space or assets to add him if we get a center like Asik. Webster would be a nice backup but again I think he will get more than the $2.5mil room exception.

If we don’t get a center first I’m not sure if we should look at adding these guys as backups with such a gaping hole in our starting unit. Perhaps if these are the best talents on the market in our price range it is worth adding them instead of focusing on our positional need? Until we are close to contending should we just be in a talent acquisition phase? We can play some small ball or run with center by platoon which all but a few teams have to do anyways.

 

Platypus said a good option with WAS. Matthews + Leonard = Webster (sign and trade); then sign Allen to 7 mil after we free up cap space.

I'm told the Evans offer sheet is worth between $44-$50 million based on incentives. Numbers not solid, but range makes sense.


The 4yr, $44 million offer from the Pelicans to Tyreke Evans will not surprise the Kings front office. #NBAKings

The New Orleans Pelicans' offer sheet to Tyreke Evans is four years and $48 million, according to @Sam Amick. Wow.

A sign-and-trade with Hickson is not realistic to get Asik. Morey is not stupid.

As enticing as it is to imagine Omer Asik coming to Portland, it's hard to imagine Houston doing a deal unless it involved Aldridge.


Well good news people. Quick says something isn't gonna happen; it usually does! LMAO!

 

That's a big number for the new CBA.

 

Especially when they have Eric Gordon on the roster as well.

 

I honestly do not think a Hickson S&T will happen nor would it get us Asik. HOU needs a 4 like Ryan Anderson or Illyasova, Mags I would suggest thinking something like my 3-way with the Bucks is way more probable

 

yikes, from who?

 

The owners can't save themselves from themselves, AGAIN!

Is Kwame Brown going to get $10 million?

 

Pelicans.

 

Damn, they better have a Gordom trade lined up or they are paying huge $$$$ for their SG's
