Free Agency

[Rastapopoulos]

This is a fun watch.

That's nothing!

[MickZagger]

That's actually surprising.

When Rubio went down, and Love healthy, they lost 21 of 26 games.

Rubio wasn't the only one to go down. The whole team had a barrage of injuries at the end.

 

[MickZagger]

That's nothing!

You're so silly.

Adam Morrison has as much to do with this thread as Zoran Planinic.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They're Euro's so I assumed you jocked them. My bad...

Because you don't actually know anything, do you? Tell you what, why don't you just respond to the imaginary me in your head so I don't have to read it.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

kevin love wants more better players to be around him or else he is leafing their and going to gonna go to sowheres else

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Rubio WS: 2.0

Love WS: 10.0

lol love won half of their games singlehandedly apparently

 

[Pinwheel1]

Hey, that's true of Adam Morrison, too! So long as you don't care what the stats say.

Yeah but watching AM his rookie year you could tell he would never be a starter in the league, regardless of his stats. When I watched Williams I was impressed, regardless of what his stats were.

Seems as though...

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Could be.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Bayless to Memphis.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

McGee close to re-signing in Denver.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Bayless to Memphis.

wtf, i would think he could have gone somewhere like Charlotte and put up huge numbers

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Portland ---> New Orleans ---> Toronto ---> Memphis

I wonder if he 'gets it' yet -- average combo guards are easily replaceable.

or the T pups?

Blazers talking to Robin Lopez.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I like Lopez but how is he worth more than Noah?

Billy King is quickly becoming the next David Kahn.

[Fez Hammersticks]

Moving from Toronto to Memphis is going to be a HUGE change for Payless.

I was expecting over a hundred NBA tweets since 9:01 but so far i'm seeing about 20 on twitter. Kind of a let down. Guess i'll go to sleep then read everything tomorrow morning.

Do you have twitter? Haynes was talking about that earlier

 

[MickZagger]

Haynes is full of shit.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Haynes is full of shit.

To the brim.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Haynes is full of shit.

Fine. Others have pointed it out as well. Just that we had contacted him

 

[3RA1N1AC]

That does not sound too exciting.

The free agency moratorium lifted at midnight, and teams are now allowed to officially sign players. J.R. Smith, who is in Las Vegas, inked his 2-year deal ($2.8M in first year, player option in year 2) after 9 p.m. PT. Jeremy Lin's four-year offer sheet that he signed with Houston is expected to be matched today, along with the completion of several other moves (Kidd, Camby, Novak).

• The Lakers and Suns made the Steve Nash trade official. Nash joins Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol (the last two of those for now at least) in L.A. to form a contender that could challenge the Thunder if everything comes together for them (and they get another perimeter shooter/defender).

• We told you already that Deron Williams remains a Net and will make enough money to live in New York City. Which is no small feat.

• Blake Griffin put his name on the dotted line and will remain with the Clippers, a five-year deal but the final year of that is a player option. This is Griffin’s first post rookie deal contract and there was never any doubt he would take the big payday to stay in L.A. The real challenge for the Clippers now is getting Chris Paul to stay next summer.

• J.R. Smith inked a two-year deal to be a designated gunner with the New York Knicks.

• Darrell Athur is in Memphis and signed a new three-year deal with the Grizzlies.

• More deals will become official as the day moves on, such as Ray Allen going to the Heat. We will keep you up to date on all of it.
