Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

I would do that in a heartbeat. And the 5 + 10 for VO too. I don't like this pandering in between a full rebuild and potentially signing average centers to fill holes. Go big, and minimize the risk if possible by just giving up shitty picks and capspace. Even if EJ goes down, it wouldn't set us back all that much if we don't give up a lot to get him.

Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

Fuck it, I would do Gordon and the #5 for something like Wes/Freeland/cap space. Maybe see about flipping the 5th to move up and grab Oladipo as insurance in case Gordon crumbles. If you could get Gordon/Oladipo for basically nothing, I don't think it would be a bad move. If Gordon doesn't work out, so be it. They'd have to take Freeland though, and probably Wes. Wouldn't hurt our cap space too much. We could still go out and get a couple bench guys or a center.

Would you flip the #5 and the #10 for Oladipo?

That's insane. Gordon doesn't have THAT much negative value, if any at all. I'm fairly sure NO isn't going add additional assets to try and dump Gordon. At least one team will give up an asset in order to take a flier on Gordon.

You might be right, but the rumor was that he was "very available" so who knows. Maybe they'd be willing to sack the pick to get him off the books? I'd actually be willing to give up Batum to do a Gordon/Oladipo combo.

"Very available" could mean a number of things, but just because a guy is "on the block", doesn't mean they're trying to straight up dump him. Given the choice of keeping Gordon or adding an asset to dump him, I think the answer is pretty clear. This is someone that was considered a rising star two years ago. He's still 24 years old, it's not like he's doomed forever.

he Kings aren't willing to match increased offers for pending RFA Tyreke Evans and are prepared to lose him, according to Sacramento radio host Carmichael Dave.

I still think for the right price he could be a good fit for what this team is missing.

It will be so glorious if he leaves them with nothing.

If that's the case, next May you can expect the following words to be said: "And the #1 pick of the NBA draft goes to...the Los Angeles L*kers!"

Wiggins in the Purple & Piss. Book it.

That's actually a really good deal for the Nets. They are in a "Win now" mode.

Starting line-up of Deron, Johnson, Pierce, Garnet and Lopez is a sick starting 5

Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

Now this is Funny...

Let the Kyrie to LA rumours begin!

If it’s not James, the Lakers would do well to save some of that 2014 money with little else of transcendent worth around, or in other words, Carmelo Anthony.

Because there’s also 2015, when Irving will be a restricted free agent

Dwight Howard blaming fans, not just Mike D'Antoni, for wanting to leave Lakers. Yes, really. bit.ly/1croupj

According to a source close to Howard, D’Antoni and the Laker system isn’t his biggest concern. It’s the fans.

Yes, the fans.

The fans that have refused to blindly accept him as their own. The fans that are looking for more than just a goofy smile and a missed free throw before throwing their devotion in a player’s corner. The fans who, for better or worse, will remain loyal to their favorite basketball squad. But they do so at a cost.

Good luck Rockets\Clippers....

Agreed. I think our needs are pretty obvious (C, SG and quality bench). Whichever way we go in the draft (C or SG), I think you'll see us try to fill the other piece in free agency or via a trade.

Edit: The quote was regarding Tyreke Evans.

I think that move speaks volumes about Nate's leadership abilities. Great teacher, great character, not so great a motivator or leader.

How could this happen without a third team. Sure wish we could help them out by taking Lopez.

Well, maybe he'll actually learn a little bit about defense? Or he'll fuck theirs up.

If you're Pierce and KG, how strange would it be having a contemporary like Kidd as your coach?

I don't think Dwight appreciated what he had in Orlando. Live and learn.
