Isaiah Thomas grew up as a Lakers fan, so getting that call must have been special. Last week, he told me LA offer sheet would "mean a lot."

 

[Natebishop3]

@ESPNSteinLine: Blazers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Mavericks, Rockets ... teams I'm told called tonight to register interest in Brooklyn's Paul Pierce BESIDES Clips

Pierce was on my original list. I think he'd be great off the bench for us.

 

[blazedanugz]

pierce aint comin off the bench..

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Alex rarely breaks news anymore.

Lately he's spammed the newsfeed with "don't forget to read my....."

Over and over.

 

[EGame]

He would fit with Stotts...

Playing no defense won't get us a championship.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn... this is even more exciting since we didn't have a pick.

Always knew Neil would be heavy into it right at midnight.

Lets hope we can get at least one of Monroe or Hawes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Didn't he come off the bench for NJ for a while?

 

[Strenuus]

pierce aint comin off the bench..

Why not? Ego? If so, don't want him near here. His role is a bench next year, period. He should know that if he wants to stay in the league.

 

[TBpup]

Playing no defense won't get us a championship.

That's why he fits with Stotts.

 

[PDXFonz]

Hearing the blazers name more than I expected already, and I knew it would be an active one!

 

[EGame]

That's why he fits with Stotts.

You're right indeed lol. I would like to believe one day we would be good at defense. but if Nate McMillian and Stotts have taught me anything...

 

[Nhawz]

I want Monroe

 

[Natebishop3]

I want Monroe

He would be a huge get.

 

[Nhawz]

He would be a huge get.

If we could miraculously keep rolo and Trob, we would be scary!

 

[TBpup]

It seems like the initial flurry is dying down a bit. Lot's of immediate post-deadline contacts and now the fallout, rumors and negotiations start up.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 19s
Trevor Ariza is receiving interest from a ton of teams after big season. I've heard HOU, DAL, LAL, LAC, CLE, TOR, PHX, DET, MIA interested.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

We haven't signed anyone yet (well, got a commitment)?

Season.

Over.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'd pass on ARIZA.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Monroe, Hawes, or bust.

 

[Natebishop3]

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 37s
One rumor I heard before draft: Cavs thinking of giving Trevor Ariza a deal in the $8-10 mil range. Like I said, teams going nuts for Ariza.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 37s
Kyrie Irving intends to sign 5-year, $90 million extension with the Cavaliers, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Commitment came in meeting.

Lill gonna get paid

 

[ehizzy3]

What's the chances he plays out that while contract in Cleveland? 50/50 if they get lebron? Lol

 

[Natebishop3]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 1m
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert announces on his account that team and Kyrie Irving have agreed on max extension and will sign July 10.

Can you or some one else break down Lillards contract. How long left on it? Are there any special circumstances like Paul George's making all star or all teams granting bonuses?

 

[Natebishop3]

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 8s
The Atlanta Hawks contacted Greg Monroe tonight, according to source close to the situation. ATL's interest in Monroe is very real.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Lillard is on his rookie contract.

Brian is the guy to ask for that, but i don't think he's around unfortunately.

 

[PDXFonz]

Lillard is on his rookie contract.

I know that I just don't know the special rules and breakdowns of structuring for rookie contracts specifically Lillard.

 

[santeesioux]

Don't quote me on this, but i've never heard of rookie deals having special bonuses like that? But again, i have no idea.

So it's just the pay that is different? Everything else is the same from lottery pick to 60?
