Yeah, I've been getting ready since about 1/3 of the regular season. Once the Lakers are rejected by Melo I think they go after Bledsoe. And agreed on Monroe/Deng.carey wrote:You guys have to just come to terms w/ Bledsoe getting the max. It's going to happen. We just need to make sure we don't go sign Monroe to the max or Deng to $12M/yr as move #2.

No to Deng period - no matter what he may cost. Better to keep Tucker.carey wrote:You guys have to just come to terms w/ Bledsoe getting the max. It's going to happen. We just need to make sure we don't go sign Monroe to the max or Deng to $12M/yr as move #2.

Personal favorite Thabo Sefolosha to the Hawks for 3/12.

Re: Around the league: June 2014
I've always like Thabo, and 3/12 is not too bad of a deal for him. Maybe the insanity is starting to wear out...
Re: Around the league: June 2014
It often goes like that - after the initial crazy rush things settle down a bit and you get some quite sensible deals.
Re: Around the league: June 2014
Yep, I'd do the same deal for him NOW. Get 'er done.SwingMan wrote:That could bode well for us keeping Tucker.....Ring_Wanted wrote:Personal favorite Thabo Sefolosha to the Hawks for 3/12.

Dirk stays in Dallas. 3/30.
Kaman goes to Portland. Two years 9.8M total, second year only 1M guaranteed.

Sounds good, but Thabo's stock was clearly on the decline after a lackluster season where he probably fell from 3D status to just defensive specialist. Exactly the opposite to Tucker.Superbone wrote:Yep, I'd do the same deal for him NOW.

Kaman is out, there goes another posible target for the Heat, they are running out of options, even if they retain the Nice 3, they won't be favorites to even get out of the East

There is still a lot left, and it's not like Kaman would have been the ultimate difference maker, but yes, Riley must be sweating profusely right now.

This only helps the Suns chances with Lebron right?

Re: Around the league: June 2014
The longer it takes for Wade to accept a real pay cut, the higher the chance of Lebron leaving. At first, I tought they had a plan, but either is a very crappy and disorganized one, or they are really on diferent sides of the discusion here. When I heard that this guys more than make up on sponsorships, any money they would lose on salary, it just doesn't make sense with situations like this, where Wade clearly is not willing to left on the table his "hard earned" 40 mill, and stretched them over 4 years.

Tell ya what, if Houston come calling with a max deal for Boshosaurus I think he goes home to Texas and it wont matter what Wade does.

That would be sweet, Lebron and Bosh, dissing Wade and leaving him behind after he refuses to take one for the team.TheOriginalOriginal wrote:Tell ya what, if Houston come calling with a max deal for Boshosaurus I think he goes home to Texas and it wont matter what Wade does.

Mori, you know one stupid contract where the agent is certainly a main factor? Ben Gordon. Shares agent with Dipo. Oh, and second year is team option.

Re: Around the league: June 2014
Oh, and Carey, remember that tweet about the Suns spending the MLE after making all the FA signings? It's not the MLE. They were refering to the 'room exception', which is 50% of the MLE for two years, and is available to teams after using their cap space. That's how the Bobcats signed McRoberts after getting Jefferson, for instance.
