His list is Dallas or Brooklyn so it has to be one of those teams. Multiple sources are saying he wants to decide fast as well so we should hear his decision within a few days of Sunday. I honestly can't see any reason why D Will would want to re sign other than money. Brooklyn doesn't have much of a future imo.

Dallas. Brooklyn has no shot whatsoever of landing Howard this summer. Their team is garbage and has no trade assets. Future 1st rounders aren't going to be enticing to Orlando since Williams+Howard will ensure them 50 win seasons and garbage draft picks every year. Plus next year is a weak draft. Howard has such shit for brains to waive his option and completely kill his ability to play with Williams in Brooklyn. What a stupid motherfucker.

I guess I could see a three-way deal something along the lines of:

LA gets Deron Williams
Minnesota gets Gasol
Brooklyn gets Derrick Williams, Minnesota's 1st rounder, Webster and Miller contracts to be cut (is the last part allowable under the CBA though?)

I voted Brooklyn Nets because I'm a Nets fan, but that means I think he is going to Dallas. Though I think with both Brooklyn and Dallas which ever team he goes to he isn't going to win, Thunder will be amazing again in the west and Miami in the East, so with that said I think if he really wants to win he goes to Nets because he would have more years to try to win with them, then with Dallas. I mean Younger players, will Dirk be around in 5 years? I'm think more Nets players will be in the NBA is 5 years then more Dallas players. IMO. With that said neither team is a bad pick since he won't be winning with either next season

You make it sound like Favors is still there. Brooke Lopez is garbage, so is Mr Kardashian, and Marshon Brooks is nothing special. Gerald Wallace is about the only potential bright spot on that team to pair up with Williams, and I'd take a couple of years of Nowitzki over that in a second.

I don't see it. He's played on pretty shitty teams his entire career, and the Nets don't have a lot of room to get that good. They have a boatload of capspace, but their best free agency options are going to be bringing back Gerald Wallace or signing Nicolas Batum, Lou Williams, OJ Mayo, Spencer Hawes, or JR Smith (no way the Angels are letting RFA Gordon walk). I mean that team has no way to get good this year now that Howard has Cheddar-Bob'ed himself. They have no assets to trade other than Williams, so that's out too.

I thought he opted in to keep from going to LA?


In March, the Rockets remained steadfast in their willingness to “rent” Howard and stayed involved in talks with the Magic. At the Toyota Center on trade deadline day after the dust cleared, I was told that Rockets GM Daryl Morey was the last one standing in the Howard chase. Weeks later I was informed that when Rockets front office personnel called it a night in the wee hours of the morning of the trade deadline, they believed they were going to land Howard later that day. The 6-foot-11 center reversed course and agreed to not exercise his opt-out clause to become a free agent, instead staying with the Magic for another year.
It wasn’t until this week that we could say it definitively — multiple sources tell ClutchFans that had Dwight not opted in, he was coming to Houston in a trade.

(If I could add here some speculation — while no one has told me this, it’s been my theory since the deadline that the Rockets nearing in on a trade for Howard may have played a role in Dwight’s decision to not opt-out and instead stay an extra year in Orlando. By being traded to a “rental” team like the Rockets at the deadline, any chance of getting the max years and max raises from a team on Howard’s preferred list would have been killed. He either would have to get that from Houston, or take less from someone else — sign-and-trades no longer give the best of both worlds, as they did under the old CBA. By staying another year in Orlando, Howard bought more time to work a trade to a team he chooses. End theory.)

He has no leverage to force the trade though. The Nets seriously have nothing of value to offer and I can't imagine Orlando balking when they're the team in the position of power this summer.

Going back to the Nyets. Sure they'll still suck (and having only four guys under contract for next year), but Brooklyn is a bigger market and he'll make more there.

Not to mention the Mavs getting 3 of the Cavs' draft picks means they're either an attempt to inject youth into the roster with so many FAs leaving or they're leverage for a trade.

Whether it was Houston, LA or wherever, I think it's just the fact that it wasn't Brooklyn. He wants Brooklyn and he wants his Bird's Rights contract. Orlando wasn't/isn't going to give him to Brooklyn, so he has to choose one or the other a year from now. I would wager he'd choose the money, just like Morey does. This is the same reason I think Deron stays where he is. Way too much money lost if you leave thanks to the new CBA. I love it.

Source: D-Will to meet reps Monday

Deron Williams, the most coveted player in this summer's free-agent class, will meet with representatives from the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks on Monday before deciding which team to sign with this July, according to a source privy to Williams' plan.

Mavericks free-agent point guard Jason Kidd will also join whichever team Williams chooses, sources said.

Williams is spending the weekend playing golf with Kidd in New York's Hamptons, sources say, yet one more indicator that the Nets have at least a fighting chance to keep Williams and add Kidd sometime after free agency begins Sunday.

Kidd, who has indicated that he hopes to serve as a backup to Williams either in Brooklyn or Dallas, also recently purchased a home in East Hampton, a source close to Kidd said.

Another source with business ties to both Kidd and Williams says that the two already have decided to play together for the Nets next season. However, multiple sources say Williams is still torn about his decision.

Williams has said he wants to make the decision before training camp for the U.S. men's Olympic team begins in Las Vegas on July 7.

Wow, so DWill is going to wait for Howard in 2013? Pretty surprising. I guess they might be able to get him at the deadline by throwing a draft pick and an expiring contract (surely they'll sign Humphries to another overpriced 1 year deal to make it a possibility). I'm really shocked he's going to throw another year away with no guarantee of getting Howard for 13-14.

Brooklyn's in da house:

Amid what sources close to the process describe as mounting evidence to suggest that the Nets are on the verge of clinching Deron Williams' commitment to re-sign with them and continue his career in Brooklyn -- are likewise hot after Nash. Nash himself has acknowledged hearing and reading about a lucrative one-year offer to come back to Texas to reunite with close friend Dirk Nowitzki after his emotional departure eight years ago in the event that the Mavericks lose out in the Williams sweepstakes. But sources told ESPN.com this week that the Mavs are prepared to make it a two-year pitch to try to beat out the competition to clinch Nash's return.

I'm also really surprised (and happy) that the Suns seem pretty indifferent to resigning Nash and the contract they plan on offering is pretty low ball.

Good news for Dallas fans who don't want Nash (aka the smart ones), Nash wants a 3 year deal and it's supposedly a very high priority of his to get 3 years. Reports are that Dallas at the most would offer him a fat 1 year deal so it wouldn't fuck up a potential Dwight signing (even tho that's not happening without D-Will). Bryan Colangelo is enough of a hooker to give Nash the 8 figure salary he wants for the next 3 years, so at this point Toronto seems like the likely destination for Nash.

Good news for Dallas fans who don't want Nash (aka the smart ones), Nash wants a 3 year deal and it's supposedly a very high priority of his to get 3 years. Reports are that Dallas at the most would offer him a fat 1 year deal so it wouldn't fuck up a potential Dwight signing (even tho that's not happening without D-Will). Bryan Colangelo is enough of a hooker to give Nash the 8 figure salary he wants for the next 3 years, so at this point Toronto seems like the likely destination for Nash.

Would kicking Nash the fuck out soften the blow from drafting Marshall?

i'm really hoping dok's toronto theory is right because i promise i will not watch a single mavericks game as long as nash is on the team

Yes, but they aren't kicking Nash out. If tomorrow Babby had a press conference and said, "Steve will always be loved in Phoenix but it's time for both parties to move on. We need to go in a new direction." Then that'd be fine, but that's not what they're doing. They're gonna use their cap space to overpay a scrub like Eric Gordon. What they need to do is tank for Bazzers and not commit any long term cap space this off season.

As I said last week, my legit sources have told me Nash is going to Toronto, Phoenix or Portland..if Phoenix is low-balling, Nash to the Raptors appears likely, especially with the prevalence of rumors of Calderon's potential amnesty..

Brian Colangelo is gonna be waiting at his door at midnight tonight ready to get on his knees and give Nash a fellatio. They're gonna outbid any other team and guarantee him a significant role. I don't see how he doesn't go to Toronto at this point.

Phoenix thinks it can get Eric Gordon (:lol thinking he'll make a difference). All Gordon is doing is using Phoenix to jack up his price tag.

Hornets will match any offer Gordon gets and the most teams can give is 4 years 55 million based on the new CBA.

Was just told that Houston is putting together an offer for Gordon S&T that centers around K.Martin and young players. Will allow Hornets to choose any 2-3 of the following if they are interested: Patterson, Lamb, White, Montiejunas, T.Jones. Doubt Hornets say yes, but they do like Martin. Either way, teams r going to go after Gordon and the Hornets will not get a discount this summer. Will have to pay max or close

Gordon would only make Hornets better out of those teams and he would need to stay healthy for that to happen. Why would Hornets prefer Martin? Yes he is fairly efficient, but he is a worse defender, older and has his own health concerns.

Lamb and Rivers are redundant. Hornets could use a real SF and Pg or Center

Lamb might be the only young guard that can live with Rivers' selfishness and he actually puts in effort into D unlike Rivers.

Although, the real appeal to getting Lamb is that there are teams that would have a strong interest in him as well. The move would likely be the first step in another move.

You didn't see the interview ESPN did with Monty Williams in the second round on draft night? Rivers IS the point guard. Williams says Rivers is great at setting his teammates up. Williams has obviously never seen a single game Rivers has played. :lol

Don't know what Mwhorey is doing but I'd rather keep Lamb and White, not so sure about Jones. I'd say trade Scola, Morris, Patterson before anybody else to clear up the forward spots.

Tbh, his attitude isn't the issue, per coach K: he's coachable.

Problem with Rivers is mainly from his refusal to really play defense and rebound. He's extremely good at 1 thing and only 1 thing : scoring. The lack of utility will hurt the team more than his shoot 1st attitude.

No way DWill doesn't go to Brooklyn now, tbh... Dwight finally grew a pair and demanded to be traded specifically to there...

:lol What? He opted in then went to the union to file a grievance against Orlando for blackmailing him in hopes of making him a free agent now. He fucked himself.

Really don't see what Brooklyn could offer that entices Orlando to trade him there.

They don't have anything. Billy King almost just sent expirings and a future draft pick to us for Scola until he figured out they're trying to cockblock them.

there's no hell of way mark signs nash and gives him 8 figure salary because that would make him look more of a dumbass than he already is, they would've rang multiple times probably had they not let him walk in 04 imho

I like Jones better than Lamb and White.

Curveball, he goes back to the Jazz.





. . .probably Dallas though. Even though he likely won't win with the current old Mavs team (they will be good though), he can at least be sure that Cuban will spend on winning and always be putting pieces around him. Dallas is a prime free agent destination too, so there's no worry that they won't draw talent.
