I think the worse things go for the Heat, the better our chances?

Riley shot too high on Deng. He should go after Ed Davis, Chris Kaman, McRoberts, Jameer Nelson, and some swingmen like Tucker, Alan Anderson, Marvin Williams.

Woj reporting we're pushing to re-sign Frye but Cleveland and GS are in the mix as well.

Long scouting report on Bodgan

No but that seems to be the consensus of what he'll get offered.

I'd rather overpay Parsons at 10mil than overpay Hayward 13.

Ehhh...he's got a hard shot, not a lot of touch. On his jumper, there's a hitch right when he brings the ball up and he shoots it. It's not fluid, and he's pushing the ball out. He's actually getting soem good arc on it, but he's still pushing it rather than letting it roll off his shooting hand. An...

You'd think James would have learned his lesson from last time about how not to be an asshole and treat people with respect. Guess not. I wish someone would call back and say, "LeBron doesn't want to hear our pitch in person? OK, best of luck." Won't happen tho. Management and owners will ...

Hey Gary Oldman, who have we been linked to in free agency so far?

Cray Cray. I think we max Bledsoe, try and get Dragic at 10 but if not, hope to hell Archie is really to take over at the 2 spot next to Bleds.

Comparing paying Ariza to paying Childress and Warrick is a bit silly. And 7-8 mil is probably the going rate for a guy like Ariza. I'd love to get him at 6. And FWIW, I think I'd rather pay Ariza 8 than Hayward 13. I just don't think he's worth that kind of contract and you're locking yourself into...

Shel, the Heat have 55m in caproom now as I understand it, they'll have very little after re-signing the big 3. Again, follow the spurs model. If I'm Riley, I convince LeBron to take 18, Bosh 12 and Wade 10...which comes to 40 with 15mil left over. Resign Haslem for like 3 and use the remaining 12 ...

Supposedly LeBron wants the max which is about 22mil, or at least, he wants to be the highest paid player on the team (since he's never been that apparently). I think Riley sells those 3 on structuring their deals, and his roster, similar to the Spurs, where maybe LeBron gets his 22mil, Bosh gets 12...

I like Hayward, but I don't think he's work 12+.

I don't doubt Kidd would've stayed in BK had they met his demands. But he probably had Milwaukee in his back pocket. You think he was turned down by BK, then just got on the phone with the new owner in Milwaukee (who he's close with and was once his financial advisor) and took at shot in the dark at...

I honestly don't think that played much of a part in anything. Kidds made 3 times what Fisher made as a player, who knows how much more than Kerr. This was about Kidd angling to take over in Milwaukee, probably knowing he was on thin ice with BK and they wouldn't give him that kind of power.

All things being equal, we're as attractive as any team as that article states. I like that we have a plan and are trying to get a meeting. Getting a meeting could legitimize us as a free agent destination. If they turns us down even for a meeting it could hurt the city as being too small for FAs of...

Kidd's always been an opportunist. He's gotten coaches fired when he didn't like them, he's dogged it and forced his way off of teams. He's almost always one step ahead, and jumped ship from NY to take the coaching job with BK when it was available. But he knows last year was the high water mark (as...

It's usually hard for bigs to look good in SL. Usually it's a guard/forward show with little post up opportunities for bigs. At the very least, I want to see Len blocking shots, rebounding, running the floor and finishing.

Sounds like he wanted something similar to Rivers and SVG. Interested to see where this will lead.

I think he sees the writing on the wall and is jumping ship to greener pastures.

Bledsoe.
