    I still think he is nuts. Although he will probably break even. He gave up 16 million for next year and will probably end up with a new 4 yr 40 million contract.

    If he played next year at 16 and signed a new contract next summer he may have gotten a 3 year /24 million contract. So I bet it ends up being a wash.

    I just don't think anyone will pay him over 10 mil per season.

    Unfortunately, a lot of teams have cap room this offseason - which means it may be a bidding war.

    I can see 12 mill.

    Seems Kobe Bryant started a German trend ... 'cause NBA star Jermaine O'Neal took Kobe's lead and flew out to Germany for a special medical procedure that ain't exactly legal in the U.S. of A.. 34-year-old O'Neal -- a 6-time NBA All-Star -- just posted a photo standing next to famed German surgeon Dr. Peter Wehling along with the caption, "Just finished up my last day of a week long of treatments out here in germany with the great Dr Wehling!" There's only one reason O'Neal would go to Germany -- Regenokine ... a special procedure involving the manipulation of red blood cells that's believed to accelerate the body's healing process.

    OK Jermaine should be good for a year. Sign him up!

    Maybe in the past, but I think teams have learned their lesson. I think you'll see a few teams sit on unspent cap room, especially with the mother of all free agent bonanzas next year.

    Question: has this past year helped or hurt Iguodala's stock? I say it's hurt it, even though Denver did much better in the regular season, because he kind of "blended in" and has shown that he's not ever going to score a buttload. And he didn't even get voted on to the all-defense team, which is supposed to be his strength.

    Here's hoping he gets undervalued and can be snapped up at the end of free agency.

    Utah pick swap? This post below from another board:

    The Jazz apparently have a deal on the table to move up in the draft. Portland recently worked out Tony Mitchell. This leads me to think that the Jazz could possibly swap their picks at #14 and #21 for Portland's #10. Does that sound plausible to you?

    Players in the #14 range are expected to be Caldwell-Pope, Olynyk, Gobert, Giannis and whoever slips among Carter-Williams, Shabazz and Zeller.

    I think they absolutely need more scoring....they need defense too, or at least a more ready willingness by the starters to play better defense...and a defensive big man type....

    But they certainly use another top tier scorer...particularly if they make the playoffs...it can't be another 1-man show.

    The last time we switched with them it didn't work out very well.

    In that range, we might be able to get both Shabazz and Hardaway Jr, both of whom could easily end up better than whoever is available at #10. Multiple mid-range picks sounds better than one somewhat high pick in a crapshoot draft like this.

    If you have a GM who has a real eye for talent (SA's GM for example), then you can make a killing with a two-fer deal like this one. I'm not 100% sold on Neil's eye for anything other than point guards, but we need one more of them anyway so fire away.

    I'd rather swing big than to trade down.

    Trade up for Len or Oladipo.
