The Free Agency rumor mill and junk heap

[SlyPokerDog]

Lots of little rumors and knowledge bombs out there that don't really deserve their own thread.

TRAITOR! Wasn't someone talking about a theoretical where Drexler sold us out the other day?

Also I heard LBJ/LeBron/Wade were signing with our SL team. Just a little fuel for the SL championship dream fire.

Yes, I have lowered my expectations why do you ask?

After weeks of hearing his name in the trade winds, Tony Parker told a French newspaper he's confident he will remain in San Antonio.

For now.

“I talked with Pop, he told me that I'm not going anywhere,” Parker told L'Equipe earlier this week.

Parker mentioned Portland and New York as two possible trade partners that the Spurs turned down.

ESPN FWIW says Blazers are going after David Lee.

If I were a betting woman I'd bet ALL the rumors are false.

We should rename it honor of KP.

David Aldridge said the same thing last night on NBAtv. Basically that they were so close last summer, that he thinks something will get done this summer

So, wait, the Spurs didn't want our leftovers for their all-star point guard? Damn them.

Man the sails. Full speed ahead. Sail for Chris Paul waters. Steal that dude from the Hornets!

Jeff who?!? Damn, being a Russian mobster billionaire doesn't have as much influence as I thought it would.

If New Jersey gets Paul I at least want to get in there and snag Harris in a 3-way.

Sniff, didn't KP love three ways? I liked the one that didn't quite get consumated in college...nm that, meant to put that in Beerboy's thread.

I would do a Camby for a David Lee sign and trade in a NY minute.

Even though he's old Camby would work well in a D'Antoni offense.

So, let's see; if we construct a 3-way trade, so we send LaMarcus to a team that needs a proven PF, and that team sends a young blue-chip prospect (probably a SG) to New Orleans, and we sweeten the pot for New Orleans with expirings/picks/rights/bench guys/whatever, and we get Chris Paul; then we replace LaMarcus with Lee, but how do we do that sign-and-trade?

Paul, Roy, Batum, Lee and Oden

Ain't going to happen but I just got wood thinking about it.

Then what? Run Lee and LMA as a mini-twin-towers? That would be a huge downgrade on defense.

LMA isn't that mini, he's as tall as Camby and an inch shorter than Oden.

 

[BGrantFan]

LMA isn't that mini, he's as tall as Camby and an inch shorter than Oden.

He doesn't protect the rim like either of those two, though.

All LMA needs is for the Blazers to hire Barry Bonds to be his personal trainer. He has the physical gifts, he just needs a little of the clear and cream to get the 'roid rage goin'.

 

[hasoos]

You know if being tall is all there was to being good and playing tough D, he would be an all star. But it isn't, and he isn't.

 

[Nikolokolus]

You all realize that David Lee can barely guard a chair right?

You guys know we have Oden and Pryzbilla right?

Pryz? Ummmm ... by have do you mean 'on our books' or 'on the court' next year? I'd lean toward the former.

Thanks, I needed a good chuckle this morning.

Thanks, I needed a good chuckle this morning.

So did I, but it was SPD's news of the Darko signing that brought it on. Really Minnesota, WTF did your fans ever do to you Kahn!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I don't get the Lee love at all. But here's hoping he goes to the Suns to replace Amare.

L*kers targetting Steve Blake.

@travisdemers Chris Paul's agent Lance Young wouldn't comment on report that he asked for a trade when I spoke with him this morning

nice

If I were the L*kers, I would too. He's perfect to play next to K*be and now he won't frustrate them four times a year.
