    Re: Free Agency Watch Thread (Lakers sign Blake, will pursue Bell after signing Fishe

    I bet Mbenga or Powell will be back for the league minimum.

    I don't want Raja Bell, he's too old and injury prone. I'd rather go after a backup SG such as Roger Mason or T-Mac. It sounds like T-Mac would be willing to sign a league minimum for a ring. Say we can get Tmac and Fish...

    Fisher/Blake
    Kobe/Sasha
    Artest/Tmac
    Gasol/Odom
    Bynum/Odom

    That would more than likely be the main rotation. If Bynum stays healthy, that lineup is absolutely deadly offensively and defensively.

    Re: Free Agency Watch Thread (Lakers sign Blake, will pursue Bell after signing Fishe

    I would love Bell but he has been killed the last 2 years from the same injury and hasn't played more than 45 games since 07/08, however we may catch lightning in a bottle with him especially with reduced minutes
    Bell, Blake, Fisher would be a SPECTACULAR off-season considering our circumstances
    Also, Lost One, didn't we use the bi-annual exception on Shannon last year?

    Yes we used the bi-annual exception on Shannon.

    Also were you the one who asked me if I was a user on CR?

    Re: Free Agency Watch Thread (Lakers sign Blake, will pursue Bell after signing Fishe

    Cleveland believes they won't get Bosh because Bosh simply doesn't want to play there. Bosh has told LBJ he'd play with him in Miami, Chicago, or New Jersey. He has no desire to go to Cleveland.

    The Nets' owner believes Bosh and Wade will end up in Miami soon.

    That leaves LBJ down to Cleveland, NJ, or Chicago. After this, the B-list FA's will start falling into place.

    Now there are rumors that LeBron might sign a 2-year deal with the Cavs.

    Raja Bell doesn't want to play with the Lakers. Maybe we target Matt Barnes now?

    That wouldn't make much sense with the new CBA coming up and the emphasis on that is to lower max deals. If he's smart, wherever he signs is either a 5 or 6 year deal to take full advantage of the max contract.

    If he's smart he signs a short deal. He's LeBron James and should be able to opt out.

    It was a long shot to bring him here for so little money anyways. Not sure Barnes would accept either.

    At this point I wouldn't mind bringing back Shannon, or looking at some other guards. Since we're apparently interested in Tony Allen, would Eddie House fit as a spark plug off the bench?

    I always liked Eddie House even though his defense is suspect.

    Lol the Bulls got fucked big time.

    LeBron is either going to join Wade and Bosh in Miami or go back to Cleveland.
