NBA trade and Free Agent rumors (2 Viewers)

An article I just read on this stated in order to sign Melo and LeBron the Suns will have to give up Dragic, Plumlee and several players plus picks to make this happen. A chunk of starters will not be back if they sign both to max deals

I've been under the impression they could keep plumlee, the morris bros and dragic. They'd have to let Bledsoe go, but they could possibly sign and trade him for Melo

Yeah, they have around 33 mil in cap space since Channing Frye opted out of his contract.

From what I understand Dragic Plumlee and Bledsoes cap hold could all be kept opening up enough room to sign Lebron and Melo. They would lose Tucker, Greene and the Morris twins though.

We better hear a rumor about the Blazers at least talking to Lebron if even the Phoenix freaking Suns are getting in on the fun.

I suspect Olshey will at least talk to his agent if not have a plan showing them how it can all work . . . don't know if we will ever hear about it.

I misread the article, they did say Dragic and Plumlee would be kept. I should never post before the second cup of coffee or see an optomistrist soon

You read correctly and I was wrong.

 

[riverman]

Lebron will resign with the Heat in my view.

Opting out is the same as resigning.

 

[Strenuus]

i see what you did there...

re-signing...? So now I shouldn't post after my third cup o joe or before my second..that'll teach my fingers to ramble.

No homophone.

If we don't hear about it, Olshey didn't talk to him/his people. We heard about Neil getting a meeting when he was with the Clips. If Neil gets a meeting, at least, the Blazers would be wise to leak that info afterwards. It puts the Blazers in a positive light that they are at least getting respect/consideration from legit stars.

LOL! I was just teasing you.

I think Neil gave that job to Damian Lillard and we'll get the news on 4 bar Friday

@WojYahooNBA: Toronto has traded John Salmons to Atlanta for Lou Williams and Bebe Nugiera, source tells Yahoo.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I know why Nugeira was a throw-in -- last summer he was diagnosed with severe knee tendonitis.

 

[Mediocre Man]

GREAT deal for the Raptors.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Apparently they have been told not to expect Lowry to re-sign.

Damn Williams stock has dropped... I remember when he was a legit 6th man.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

His ACL injury has rendered him to a D-League caliber player.

Nogueira doesn't look too bad here.

I thought the same thing, plus they just made a qualifying offer to Vasquez I think

 

[RR7]

GREAT deal for the Raptors.

Come on, if we made that deal you'd bash it for trading an unguaranteed deal for an all offense mini SG coming off a torn ACL.

I'm glad to see you say that. I didn't want that to come off as I had heard or read something

You should start posting for me.

Yeah, you'd have to think Lillard and LMA are more appealing than just maybe Melo and Dragic. Plus the Suns seem to be mentioned for every single free agent, sounds like a team that doesn't have a real master plan, but just wants to make a splash. Isn't Sarver a big time cheapskate too?
