Also, either George Hill or Tony Parker will be traded by 8 days ago. And Darko will dominate the league.
O'Neal only averaged 12.9 points a game his first year with Indy, he wasn't an all-star. And he hadn't done any better off of Portland's bench than Ian with the Spurs.
Who's going to start for Indy if they dump Murphy's expiring and Tyler Hansborough can't even play in the summer league because of his bizarre concussion/ear-infection-with-scarring? And on the cheap?
Laugh all you want, history will prove me right.

But remember, even the Lakers want to cut costs and Jackson is leaning towards retirement and the vast majority of their core are injured and...magically, all of that went away, as the Lakers continue their run as the luckiest franchise in the history of professional sports.
Do they ever get bad news? Don't give me the "Bynum missed the '08 playoffs" nonsense, because his injury sealed the Gasol "trade" and meant that they'd have the poor man's twin towers to go with one of the best players in the world and far and away the best "third big" on any team for at least the next handful of years.
The weaknesses they do have, of course they have to fill. Blake is just decent, but he's a good fit and if Fisher pulls an Horry '08 in '11, he's good enough to finish games or even take over the starting position without it costing them a championship. Farmar was too erratic and inconsistent to do that.
Sounds painful.
if they find a way to get miller which i dont see how i think ill be sick
Blake has a tendency to jack shots and miss them in 4th quarters. Seen it slot in Denver....
That doesn't matter. Fisher will get those minutes in the playoffs.
Man, Lakers are just raking it in...
Exactly, Fisher can morph in Horry 2.0 and play just enough in the regular season to be in shape for the playoffs.
I read somewhere that James camp didn't like New York campaign but that liked New Jerseys. Also, that Wade wants Lebron to come to Miami but that Lebron wants Wade to go to Chicago or New Jersey.
So from what they are saying so far "Take it for what it's worth" :
Miami signs Wade and Bosh is tight with Wade and likes Miami
New York gets Amare
Dallas offerred 96 mill to Dirk
So that just leaves Chicago and New Jersey to go after Lebron and Boozer.
One thing who ever doesn't get Boozer should get Scola...
Wade/Bosh/Scola would be tough.

They can't afford Miller now, because they only have $1.8 of their mid-level exception available after signing Blake for $4 million. Miller is likely to command at least the full mid-level exception, which is $5.8 million.
The thing that annoys is, like I said, it's not that Blake is some great player, but he fills a need and upgrades one of their weaknesses. Their biggest strength outweighs any other team's biggest strength, so if they close the gap at the point, if they close the gap in three-point shooting and to a lesser extent, if they close the gap in front court depth, then why even play a season? Because short of Bryant declining rapidly or a rash of injuries to their core, you can hand them the trophy right now. And as we just witnessed in game seven, when push comes to shove, they're also still going to receive favorable officiating.
Salmons off the table:
AP source: Bucks, Salmons agree for $40M
By COLIN FLY, AP Sports Writer 2 hours, 1 minute ago

MILWAUKEE (AP)—Another day, another deal for the Milwaukee Bucks, who have suddenly become one of the biggest buyers during the most-hyped free agency period in NBA history.
The Bucks made another major move Friday, agreeing in principle to a $40 million, five-year deal with free agent guard John Salmons(notes), a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity Friday because the deal can’t become official until next Thursday.

CSN has confirmed that Wade and Bosh are both currently at Henry Thomas' office with #Bulls management #Heat #freeagency #NBA
I don't know if the Suns are making a bad move they are not going to win with Amare so do you do something stupid like Atlanta or Memphis and sign players to huge contracts? I mean serious Joe Johnson getting 100 million that is a team killing contract the same for Gays 80 million.
People need to remember that Atlanta was a bottom feeder before Johnson arrived. Now they are making the playoffs and the owner is making money. It doesnt matter if the Hawks win championships, it matters if they can prolong the season and Joe Johnson gives them that. The owner of the Hawks knows what he is doing. He'll make his money back. He's supplying a product with a great player in a small market. He's not in L.A., New York, Chicago, ect... Keep Joe Johnson and keep making the playoffs. And the owner will make money.
Farmar is more erratic and inconsistent than Blake. As for Brown, I suspect he'll end up returning to the Lakers.
Shannon brown will get paid by someone else. The feeling here in socal is that he's gone...
They barely played Brown and Farmar is horrible. Blake isn't that much of an upgrade, but he's still better.
Shannon Brown has the "potential" label like Trevor Ariza had. Someone will pay him, I agree.
Chris Tomasson: San Antonio has called to express interest in Restricted FA Wesley Matthews. Matthews seems like a perfect Spur if he doesn't return to Utah Twitter
I knew the Spurs would be interested in Matthews, but I expect the Jazz to re-sign him unless the Trail Blazers throw a ridiculous offer his way. Even then, with Boozer most likely gone, the Jazz might match it.
If someone overpays for Brown, then the Lakers will just turn to Bell or someone of that ilk and sign them on the cheap most likely. Sure, they'd be older and less athletic, but with Blake and Bell, they'd be better in the short term. Even if Bell has lost another step defensively, if Artest and Vujacic are allowed to whack the out of people and get away with it, why wouldn't Bell be allowed to? Brown, like Farmar, is erratic and inconsistent. With Blake and Bell, the Lakers would have more reliable three-point shooting.
I've been only reading/hearing other Team reloading!!! I'm getting very impatient in what the spurs will do!!!
Your getting impatient on day 2? Seriously?
My bet is the Spurs F.O. will wait till everyone has been given an offer and then make a low ball offer to anyone who hasn't.
Yeap!! and very anxious!!! I hate this time of the year.... What can i say I love the spurs and want to know whats up..
