Freeland to Moscow?

[LaScrewus Alldridge]

I would love to have Freeland back, part of me thinks what the organization is doing now is a big mistake. I get it, you knew LA was leaving so you trade off Nic who you think might leave next year anyway. You don't take the risk on Wes even though us fans love the shit out of him because, well you probably aren't getting the same Wes back. Rolo probably isn't a great fit if you don't need to coddle Aldridge with a guy to play center so he don't hafto. But hell, show so loyalty to someone? Show Dame we can be loyal too? Dame is a loyal guy or at least seems to be. But if he watches nothing but buisness the next 6 years and no loyalty, what happens then? Plus I like Joel.

HCP, why are these geeks worried about where I'm going?

I mean they never started a thread about me the last 4 years.... Why now? My girl is from Spain and I have a house there, so let these nerds know that's probably where I'll end up!

Freeland was arguably the best defender on the team. Surprised he can't garner interest anywhere around the league.

Yeah if he had come into the league as a rookie from college and was 25 I'd think about resigning him but he's not really ideal for a rebuilding project. I do want to see him on the Clippers, or some playoff team out there. Maybe Neil has a sign and trade brewing.

I wish him well, just like Victor Claver...you can only spend so much time in the prime of your career being a cheerleader...Both those guys needed to play basketball. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get an offer, but the money will be better for him overseas. If he stays in the NBA he's going to be a Nick Collison for the duration. Great defender, not very quick but solid fundamentals and a bit of a streaky mid range shot. He'll land on his feet.

+> I blinked my eyes and saw Steve Blake (when he was younger). For Joel, only the coach decides if he gets PT. I would be this year if he is here. Besides this, if he ends up in Moscow he would be under constant surveilance and subject to multiple car crashes every week (Joel Freeland on Utube Russian crazy drivers)Da.

@MikeAScotto: Source: Joel Freeland has declined 3 NBA offers and has interest from top euroleague teams. He will make a final decision around July 10th.>>>>>>

+> July 9th....Send him a bouquet of Roses with a sympathy card.

Simple decision by him. The NBA offers are minimum wage. The European offers are probably double, about $2.5M, a small cut from the $3M that we paid.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I would almost guarantee the Clippers were one team

Well, that would explain his denial. They have about 2M to spend on him.

 

[Aussie Blazer!]

With the news breaking of DJ being a man of his word, maybe Freeland might find a home after all, in much of my disgust with the Mavs.

Wes can give them a detailed scouting report on Freeland.
