Imagine how much bulletin material Dallas will be giving with both mo and parsons on their roster...

Hawks are going to release Salmons. Better than Wright?

Shockingly, no. Salmons was much worse last year.

I honestly know very little about Tucker... is he really worth a little over 5 a year?

I like him. I would have been happy if we signed him. He reminds me a little bit of Ruben Patterson, but not quite as crazy. He has a mean streak.

He punched Blake Griffin in the face. That's why I like him.

Melo is such a drama queen. You can't convince me that his delay isn't because he wants as much attention as LBJ is getting.

I don't see why Chris Bosh is so hot for Houston, or why Houston is considered such a hot destination (aside from their hot awful weather). They are a midrange Western playoff team. Bosh would make them better, maybe, but not San Antonio.

FUCK, IF THE LAKERS GET JEREMY LIN THIS WILL BE FUCKING AWESOME. HAHAHA

Lots of strip clubs and black chicks with thick booty.

HOU could be one new coach, or one injury to SAS, away from the Finals.

Utah officially matched for Hayward

Crazy money.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Crazy money.

And it will get crazier each year.

Many here weren't in favor of matching Batum . . .now he is a bargain. I bet some of these crazy contracts this summer will look like bargains in a couple of years.

I think they had to. Way over paid but this way they will have an asset to trade in another year or two if his salary becomes an issue.

I wonder if the salary cap will be removed next CBA

Yep, sure glad we didn't get Derrick f'in Williams for Batum. The bubble will pop, but ya, it might take a couple more years of this.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

If he stays at level he is now (doesn't' get better - percentage-wise he has gotten worse the last 3 years) then his contract (at that price) isn't all that appealing to many teams.

Its a way overpay now but with everyone expecting the cap to go way way up after the new TV deal it may be a fine contract in 2 years.

Woj says Bulls contacting Wade.

lol my friend here predicted the following before FA started:
Bron to CLE
Melo to NYK
Wade to CHI
Bosh to HOU

#hometowns

 

[BigGameDamian]

The Chicago Bulls are interested in Dwyane Wade.

The Bulls have been in pursuit of Carmelo Anthony as their primary free agent option. Wade would almost certainly be a cheaper acquisition for the Bulls.

With LeBron James leaving the Miami Heat for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Chris Bosh also possibly departing, the future of Wade with the only franchise he's played for is unclear.

 

[blue9]

Wade and Rose - LOL!

Wow. Who is this guy?

 

[illmatic99]

He tells me I'm moving back to Portland. Uh no. lol

 

[santeesioux]

Wade, Rose, and Melo would be pretty nice if they stayed healthy. The East needs to stop being a cakewalk joke.
