NBA trade and Free Agent rumors

[RR7]

Btw who cares what chris Broussard has to say the dude doesn't know jack. Woj or bust

 

[Mediocre Man]

Did anyone report the Knicks and Mavs trade?

 

[Scalma]

No they don't.

Yes they do. You want me to make a list of why Portland is a legit destination? Everyone knew Indy would match hibbert. If lebron wanted to go to Portland, he would go to Portland

 

[3RA1N1AC]

im thinking dallas is going after melo or lebron hard THIS offseason. they arent waiting around for next year.

monta dirk and chandler is almost enticing.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Ya all this and the Blazers are sitting on there hands because the starting 5 is untouchable.

Houston may acquire one of them. They won't get both. And I kinda of think if LeBron leaves it will be back to his hometown.

Your the only one who finds it humorous.

Your the only one who finds it humorous.

And?

I find your meltdowns rather funny.

 

[Scalma]

The heat are a sinking ship why would lebron go back? Everyone keeps saying oh well it's the east he can make the finals every year. So what? Is the goal to make the finals or to actually win in the finals? Miami ain't beating any of the top 4-5 western conf teams next year with a broke down wade. If winning rings is really all he cares about he will leave Miami. He's shown before he's willing to leave money on the table to play with players he wants to play with.

Dude, the current regime doesn't seem to have any leaks source wise, and were there any rumors of the Dallas deal before it happened? Just because there aren't any rumors doesn't mean they aren't trying to do anything.

The Golden State Warriors may be interested in trading for Chandler Parsons if the Houston Rockets need to create cap space by attaching Jeremy Lin.

Lin first played in the NBA with the Warriors.

Parsons will be a restricted free agent and the Rockets would like to re-sign him, but they are also interested in acquiring Carmelo Anthony and/or LeBron James.

The Warriors have a $9.8 million traded player exception.

Rockets will get New Orleans' first rounder for next season in exchange for Omer Asik, I'm told.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA Houston is finalizing a deal to send Omer Asik to New Orleans, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

New Orleans will send a future first-round pick to Houston for Asik, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Deal will give Rockets cap space.

 

[santeesioux]

So they traded Lopez away last year for nothing, only to give up a first rounder for a player of similar caliber a year later?

NO would have been better off keeping Lopez.

A first-rounder who is in the final year of a contact that will pay him $8.3m. Houston much think they have a shot at James, while New Orleans clearly has no clue what they're doing as a franchise.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'm aware you can't speak to free agents until July 1st. Seems like a pretty crazy move when thinking about doing it just for a chance to chase.

Especially when they could have gotten much more for him last off season...

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA For the Rockets, this is Step 1 in clearing the cap space to chase LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony in free agency.

 

[Strenuus]

how will asik and davis work together? Well, I would suppose.

 

[PapaG]

NO would have been better off keeping Lopez.

They wouldn't have been able to sign Tyreke Evans then, though.

 

[santeesioux]

If they have to get another superstar, hopefully it's Melo. He doesn't help their biggest problem, and they just got rid of a guy that actually played defense.

 

[PDXFonz]

I dislike their entitled fan base plenty already, and this would only make them worse...

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I hate Morey.

Outside of the Spurs fanbase, that Texas-Oklahoma area is devoid of basketball knowledge.

Lebron harden and Howard is a locker room explosion waiting to happen

Lebron harden and Howard is a locker room explosion waiting to happen

I don't think so. As much as I don't like Lebron he is a superstar player that could play with anyone in the NBA or on any team and not have a decline. That is rare to say about a player.

Fixed

 

[Scalma]

That was more of a shot against ISO ballhog harden and crybaby Howard.

 

[Scalma]

Also mchale is not qualified to coach those three. No way.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

what a weird fucking thing...i think their GM might have been the only guy in the world who thought that was a good idea

I really doubt this stops teams. Always seems like teams are tampering behind the scenes but never get caught.
