FA has started!

pretty sure performance bonuses were tied to shoe endorsments

Lillard will earn more $$$ with incentives built into his next contract with our team.

I was agreeing with you and just trying to show where the bonuses reported came from. endorsements not rookie deal,just like you said.

Yeah, I noticed that after reading it a couple of times. I was waking up a bit slow this morning.

Suns pushing to re-sign Channing Frye, sources tell Yahoo. After opting-out of deal, Frye's surveying market, including Cavs, Warriors.

 

[santeesioux]

They must be confident in getting Hawes if they aren't going after Channing.

It could be the new team philosophy? No sense reliving the past. Maybe the reason why we didn't go after Jerm last season as well...

Hearing that Luol Deng will not take significantly less than his market value to join Heat

 

[A Lillard Bit More]

Anyone interested in Billups as a guy off the bench? His option was declined by Detroit.

Good. F the heat.

He was washed up 5 years ago. Come on, man

 

[santeesioux]

So Clownzano is like the only media guy saying Bosh and Wade have re-signed with the Heat, and it's blowing up on Twitter. If he's wrong do you think he could get canned?!?

Just a suggestion man. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It's weird how nba is talking about the big three in Miami. I think Chalmers is just important to Miami's success.

In that he was so bad even the big three couldn't save Miami?

I'd be interested in him ON the bench as an assistant coach. He'll be next in the Mark Jackson-Jason Kidd-Derek Fisher line.

Last time I checked, they made it to the finals 4 times with Chalmers and won 2. SAS was unstoppable last season. I don't think any team could stop them. Ask Westbrook and Lillard.

Deng looks to me like someone who would be wise to wait around until the sexy free agents are gone and some crappy team desperate to do SOMETHING with its cap space throws money at him. It worked for people like Brandon Jennings.

Remember when they used to go on and ON about how good Jordan and Pippen were? WHEN will John Paxson get due credit!!???!!??

Or Kerr

But what about BJ Armstrong?

Report: Luol Deng will not take pay cut to join Heat http://dlvr.it/6BBxC2

 

[Draco]

Glad to hear heat striking out with stud free agents. I don't see the three of them wanting to take pay cuts to add Marvin Williams. Hopefully they all demand max and suck next year.

I wonder if Toronto could have gotten Beverly and two 1sts for Lowry

With @BaxterHolmes reporting Celtics have reached out to Gordon Hayward, interest is mutual. Brad Stevens was the RFA's coach at Butler.

Good. Fuck them. I hate Houston. I hope they traded Asik for nothing.

They should sign 3-4 guys with that. Mcbob, Frye, nelson, thabo etc

The Heat have targeted Kyle Lowry and are seeking a meeting with him today. Also could target Marcin Gortat.

I've heard flip-flopped #s for Bosh and Wade -- $12M for CB, $10M for DW -- but regardless, those are kind of #s MIA needs to get real space
