    If that's true then it means he's looking to sign probably his last contract with the Mavs. I believe a player can opt out and re-sign with the same team.

    Thats what Im thinking. Opting out to sign for much less to help Dallas bring in more talent to go all in next year.

    Parsons is probably looking for a better contract (Don't know why he'd get one after the injuries), or a change of scenery. Dirk is going to stay with the Mavs, he's said as much. "The only reason I would leave is if we are starting 5 rookies", which is basically a cool way of saying that it's never going to happen.

    Until free agency actually starts I'm sure we're going to be inundated with all sorts of rumors about this player or that player going to XYZ team (sort of like this Dwight to PDX rumor). It makes for fun discussion, but I wouldn't put any stock in anything that gets printed in the next couple of days unless you hear about offer sheets actually being signed.

    wait. These are all rumors? Nothing official? I'm ignorant about the rules. I thought teams can trade the moment the finals are over, but FA doesnt start until july 1st? Can someone clue me in on this? I promise to like your post. :)

    You can almost feel people spinning up over this stuff. That's all I was saying.

    After the trade deadline, teams can trade again once they are eliminated from the playoffs or the playoffs end. They can't trade players who are on ending contracts or who have early termination options. Once July hits, the new salary cap goes into effect and free agent signings and trades can happen again starting July 7, when the moratorium ends.

    Correct. July 1 to 6th is the moratorium for the bean counters to crunch numbers.

    I don't mind a Dwight Howard thread by any means. I'm one of the few that thinks he would help us big time...... But for gods sake, don't put two people who I haven't even heard claiming something they have no idea about as the source. You're better than that FAMS!

    I am going to wait till at least July till I start listening to the rumors.


    Shelton and Danforth?! That sounds like foppish Gilbert and Sullivan musical about marauding highwaymen!

    Oh yeah, and 72% chance. Though it could be more like 71%.

    I don't want Dwight to sign here because we will be needing that money to sign Durant as our third scorer. After Durant has signed, sure go get Howard if he is still interested coming to Portland

    Then keep Leonard if that's what Dwight likes. Dwight could teach Meyer's how to play defense too.

    WIN/WIN
