Re: FA starts in 3 hrs

Funny how we wish we could get the bench players the prior regime cast off, Mills, Frye, McRoberts, Jack....

We weren't filled with 'hope' then .....

Pacers decline to give a qualifying offer to Evan Turner. He is now unrestricted. Any interest?

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

I wouldn't mind Evan Turner if he came for the right price.

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

nah i think he was one of the reasons pacers chemistry was killed. maybe if he was happy coming off the bench but i really doubt that

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

Yuck.

Even Turner is a career 12 PER with a TS% sub-50.

Barton >>> Turner

Recently read "Don't Put Me In Coach" by former Ohio State walkon, Mark Titus .... needless to say, it doesn't paint Turner in the best picture and I can understand why there are some rumblings about him causing trouble in the Indiana locker room.

Re: FA starts in 3 hrs

Anybody got some leads on some goings ons.

Vince Carter is the only one I've heard:
The Dallas Mavericks and Vince Carter have a strong mutual interest to agree upon a new contract, but he is also expected to receive interest from the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors.

Carter averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.4 minutes per game last season despite being 37.

Raptors plan to offer their free agent PG Kyle Lowry a contract starting at $14.5 million at 12:15 AM meeting in Toronto, Yahoo source said.

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

Sounds like he's staying a Raptor, hopefully the Heat get shut out on most players and can't improve their team much.

Anyone think this contract is like 1-2 million too high?

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
I heard Raps' offer to Kyle Lowry will start at $12 million annually. @SpearsNBAYahoo just reported Raptors' pitch will open at $14.5 mil

Another team to watch in the Greg Monroe restricted free-agent hunt: I'm told Portland has serious interest in a sign-and-trade for Monroe

Curious as to how much he might garner. Since Portland and Detroit are similarly over the cap, it would have to be a fairly even trade. He's at $4MM now, if he signs for say $7MM, what combination of T-Rob, Leonard, Freeland, CJ, Wright are you willing to give up and what would Detroit want?

 

[santeesioux]

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

Goddamn it, i'm going to be up until like 3 am watching twitter and this site.

 

[Scalma]

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

Why do we need Monroe though? Would he really come off the bench? That'd be kind of nuts

I'd give them cj, Leonard and wrights expiring

Trade Batum for Greg Monroe and sign Lebrom for the MLE, full proof plan

 

[ripcityboy]

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

On thing I think Oshey will be good at, is find people who will augment the chemistry.

 

[MickZagger]

Re: FA starts in 2 hrs

I've always really liked Monroe. That would be a huge coupe. I think were just posturing though.

Updated thread title.

Re: FA starts in 1hr. OMG, one hour! So excited!

If we trade for Monroe, that leaves us with our MLE to still sign someone.
