Reported McGee is going to get $10mil from Denver, why cant we do better than that offer?


He's got a little 'Sheed' in him, but this team misses some of that.

I'd make a run at him, but I believe I'm in the vast minority here.

But I would expect Denver to still match whatever we'd offer, so it'd likely be pointless anyhow.

Worst case, we drive the price up and make a division rival spend more.

id make a run at around 10 maybe, but nowhere near 14 like was said earlier

$10mil is what he's reportedly going to get. If you want to drive up the price, you have to go above $10mil.

fuck all these rfas anyways, nothing but a pain in the ass

Marc Stein: Among Nets' reasons to push for Dwight finality today, sources say, is fear Blazers will sign RFA Brook Lopez after Indy matched on Hibbert about 6 minutes ago

No thanks!!!

Lamarcus Aldridge ‏@aldridge_12
A lot of teams making moves this year.....

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Jason Fleming: I don't think it's very likely POR goes after Brook Lopez, but if that is a real for Brooklyn, then whatever motivates them. 4 minutes ago

That and NJ was already in talks to max Lopez, so what would be the point in signing him to an offer sheet, just to tie up the cap until NJ matches?

Lots of ".....".

I think he's making reference to us not making any moves. At least that's how I'm taking it.

for what its worth, the #2 free agent on the market signed an offer sheet with us, and we are 12 hours into free agency

A C and PF that don't rebound? They are pretty much the same style players. No way!

technically ... no

 

[3RA1N1AC]

technically ... no

true

fools gold anyways, im done with max level rfas

and we will have a hard time signing max level ufas

so keep batum or bend over kahn in a s&t

I don't believe he ever signed anything. And that agreed-upon offer was 10 days ago.

@ajchawks: Source says #Hawks had interest in #Bulls F Kyle Korver but he's likely headed to Minnesota in trade


What's Kahn thinking? Is he giving up on Batum now? Insurance policy on Roy?

I do think a Center who can play the high post, who can shoot and pass, does help LMA though. But he needs to be healthy.

Roster spot for his 2-3 for 1 trade with Portland?

korver can be waived for 500k, looks like they are clearing some cap room to me

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hell, I'd take Korver as a throw in for whatever super-sweet deal we get.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah that is what I assume as well. And I also I think Kahn has a pretty good idea what he is sending us back in a S&T so that amount will play into it. My questions is if they did relent and give us DW, would they want us to take JJ Barea to seal the deal? I would assume they want to get rid of his contract. I would take him to seal the deal.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Korver, Johnson and both picks would be a solid return. Johnson will always suck, being from Syracuse, but there are GM's out there, like Kahn, that will think they are the team to get his full potential out of him

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Johnson is nothing more than bench fodder.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Johnson is nothing more than bench fodder.

Agreed, but some GM or coach, somewhere else might think they are the ones to help him

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Agreed, but some GM or coach, somewhere else might think they are the ones to help him

and as far as taking some salary on goes, he is probably the best kind to take a flier on,seeing as how he can have his options turned down at any time

Kaman to the Mavs

Good... I want no part of him now... three years ago? Yes. Today? No way.

One step closer to this guy.

Oh dear lord. Bullet dodged. I wonder if Deron just threw his iPad at a wall.
