FA has started!

We should have gone after Ed Davis. $2 mil a year is a bargain.

And play him over Robinson?

 

[MickZagger]

I think Ptd is the biggest metro city with one professional sports team

Which is BS.

I'm really glad that you don't count the MLS as a professional sport. Neither do I.

They can share duties. I'd prefer Davis over Freeland.

I don't think Joel is going to play much next season. There's barely going to be enough minutes for Robinson.

You're probably right, which made me think about this.

Our second unit in 2012-2013 - Maynor/Barton/Claver/Babbitt/Leonard
Our third unit in 2014-2015 - Barton/Crabbe/Claver/Freeland/Leonard

Our pine-riders now are better than our primary reserves from two years ago. Granted, it was the worst bench in league history, but still...

A hometown, though. Or close to it.

A home town with a bunch of number one picks on the roster and mega cap space.

But other than all that, totally a major FA moving to a small market!

The New Orleans Pelicans have struck a deal to sign sharpshooter Jimmer Fredette, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com that the Pelicans and Fredette have agreed to terms on a one-year deal at the league minimum

I like that signing for the minimum and where the Pelicans are heading.

Do the Pelicans get an exception to have a guy that runs in at half court and plays defense for him?

While both the Cavs and The Blazers were denied this exception for Kyrie/Lillard iv heard the league is pondering this a great deal because of how great the Pelicans argument of "Come on he is short and white" is.

Mike Bresnahan: Busy day for the Lakers, who reached agreement with Ryan Kelly, Xavier Henry and Wesley Johnson. Not many roster spots left.

The Boston Celtics have reached an agreement with Evan Turner, according to the Boston Herald

Evan Turner has agreed upon a contract with the Boston Celtics, according to sources.

Turner will sign for a portion of the Celtics' midlevel exception.

Turner finished last season with the Indiana Pacers after starting his career with the Philadelphia 76ers

Why the colors, BGD? Your posts don't need to be even more annoying.

If he's not out for the season, Rashard would be a nice pickup on a vet minimum salary. He's a solid role player at this point in his career. He single handedly saved the Heat in a couple of those Pacer games by going crazy from the 3-point stripe.

Uh... "he needed knee surgery" And Portland Trail Blazers DOES NOT MIX anymore!

Interesting take I heard early this morning. (Kinda free agency)...

What if the Lakers know something we don't? Could they not have a coach right now because they are waiting for Doc Rivers to leave the Clippers? Its stupid on the Lakers part to bank on it, but really fun to think about.

Has their been any indication that Rivers wants to leave the Clippers since the NBA took the team away from Sterling? It seems beyond unlikely to me that Rivers would leave over Sterling's comments when Sterling has been removed from the franchise. But I'm not sure if I've missed a development since then.

 

[RR7]

Why would rivers consider leaving the clippers for the Lakers? Funny to say that, but, really.

The problem is that Donald Sterling has filed another lawsuit against the NBA and his wife, which may not be settled for ages and ages. And:

Mo is running out of places to go.

Looks like were going to have to put mo and Blake into a boxing ring. Winner gets the jersey # and the backup pg minutes.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Mavs also signed Aminu. Mavs basically signing EVERYONE. Which they seem to do every year.

(Everyone except Mo, it seems. Oh, and they voided a contract they'd just agreed to with Rashard Lewis when they found out he needed surgery. Classy.)

 

[3RA1N1AC]

mavs still have cap room or are they just harvesting the minimum contract fields?

 

[THE HCP]

I'm surprised Mo hasn't already signed with his boys back in Cleveland.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I think he legitimately hates Lebron. I don't believe they are boys anymore.

I'd rather not, because Mo might win.

I'd put money on Blake, he isn't afraid to get into someones face even if they are 12 inches taller then him. I'v also always heard he trains with MMA guys in the off season.
