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

He scheduled all 6 teams in two days. So far I think he is doing a pretty good job of speeding up the process. After listening to LA sports radio all day, I hope to hell he tells the Lakers to fuck off.

 

I don't think that was him being efficient. I think teams were clamoring to see him ASAP and he obliged them. Watch him sit on the decision for another two weeks while he weighs his options.

 

Apparently an insider from another board said GS is making additional offers for LMA.

Bogut or Lee

+

Thompson or Barnes

Take it with a grain of salt. Might be worth discussing.

 

Bogut and Thompson or Bogut and Barnes and I at least think about it.

Lee and anyone is a no.

 

What board? I'd be interested in seeing the responses

 

RealGM. More of a guy with sources than an actual insider. Broke the Zach Randolph trade before anyone else.

 

But the best offer (Bogut + Thompson) is still the same as the previous best offer. The Lakers don't want Lee - NOBODY wants Lee. And Barnes-type players are pretty easy to come by. I just don't see the Lakers doing a sign-and-trade except for a trade exception and picks. For the Lakers, cap space is more valuable than to any other team, because they've signed more big-name FAs than any other team. And next year there's a ton.

 

Don't think it's Dwight related, just them wanting to pair Curry and Aldridge.

 

Wrong LA.

 

It's probably discovery69 or TBPup. He used to post on the blazers forum at Hoopsworld. Dude had connections back in the day. Not sure how good his sources are now.

I'm still not really sold on a deal with GS. I don't think Klay Thompson is that good honestly. Put the chips on the table. I think they're trying to get Aldridge as another bargaining chip to lure Howard. That way they can say, "come join LMA and Curry to form a big three."

Thompson, Barnes, Bogut for Aldridge and Matthews.

Use our cap space on Josh Smith or Al Jeff.

Lillard/McCollum
Thompson/Crabbe
Batum/Barnes
Smith/Robinson
Bogut/Leonard

That bench is pretty good. We get younger, more athletic, and we have good shooting. Not bad.

 

I really like Barnes but Klay's shooting is intriguing.

Pg: Lillard
Sg: McCollum
Sf: Thompson

Shooting shooting shooting!

That being said, I doubt it's true.

They go from Lee/Garbage to this?

I think it's a play to grab Dwight. I think they want to improve their bargaining position. If they can offer a solid two All-Star caliber players, they might have a better chance of getting Howard.

 

Lee IS garbage, especially at that contract.

 

Woah! Did not see that one coming. What happens to Dragic?

 

Shit, I just ASSUMED it was Howard. Hm. I'd actually be tempted by Bogut + Thompson. Except we have a million shooting guards now.

 

NB3, GS would never do that

 

Uh...they can't offer Dwight a contract. It has to be a sign and trade. So what the hell are they going to offer LA for Howard after trading for LMA?

 

Starts next to Bledsoe. It's just like Lillard-McCollum.
