nets sign kyle korver.....
http://www.netsdaily.com/2010/7/8/15...al-with-travisThe Nets announced Thursday afternoon that they have agreed in principle to a contract with forward Travis Outlaw. The deal is reportedly worth $35 million over five years, fully guaranteed and provides Outlaw a flat $7 million a year.
Meanwhile, "independent sources" tell Fred Kerber that Kyle Korver will sign with the Nets, too. Al Iannazzone adds the Nets could also offer a contract to Tyrus Thomas as early as Thursday afternoon. The Bobcats would have seven days to match any Nets' offer. Outlaw is 25, Korver 29 and Thomas 23.

S&T with the Nets, Korver for RJ?
Nets definitely moving on from the LeBron sweepstakes.
Can't do a sign-and-trade if you sign with a different team . . .
Yeah, I was wondering how, or if, that would even work.
Besides, if I had to choose between RJ or Korver for the same money (assume it's above MLE), I'm probably choosing RJ...sad as that is.
do people still hold out hope that Lebron won't sign with Miami?
Not me.
Because Lebron's a beta. Might as well change his name to LeBeta. He doesn't want the responsibility of being top dog, he doesn't want a team or a city on his shoulders, he just wants money and easy rings.
That's why he's going to Wade's team and Wade's city, so he can be the Harper to Wade and Bosh's Jordan and Pippen. He doesn't want any heavy lifting or hard work, he'll just be Wade's ride-a-long.
Looks like it's Knicks or bust for jefferson...

I wonder how much of Haywood's deal is guaranteed, because 9 per year for a guy who's already 30 seems a bit much for that long a deal.
Can Miami pull off Beasley trade?
By Chad Ford and Marc Stein
The surest way to know that LeBron James-to-Miami is a done deal before LeBron’s official announcement?
If Miami trades away Michael Beasley to create even more salary-cap space before the show starts.
As of noon Thursday, Miami did not have a trade taker for Beasley, after numerous sources said that the Heat – as they’ve been doing for weeks – continued to shop 2008’s No. 2 overall pick with vigor for much of Wednesday.
Yet sources say that a four-team trade scenario was hatched on the eve of LeBron’s hour-long “Decision” special on ESPN that includes Charlotte and Houston and would enable the Raptors to bring them back an asset or two in the wake of Chris Bosh’s departure but also avoid taking back Beasley. Which is believed to be the only sort of sign-and-trade that Toronto would consider.
The proposed deal, sources said, would send Beasley and Rockets forward Jared Jeffries to Charlotte, land Bobcats center Tyson Chandler in Houston and create sufficient cap space for Heat president Pat Riley to offer max-contract money to Wade, Bosh and James.
The Heat and Raptors engaged in discussions for several hours after Bosh and Dwyane Wade announced that they committing to Miami in a package about the various sign-and-trade options. Discussions were serious enough Wednesday night, according to two sources, that Heat officials told Beasley to start preparing to relocate.
One source with knowledge of Toronto’s thinking, however, insists that the four-team trade – which would require Houston to send at least $3.1 million in salary to the Raptors -- is “not happening.” Toronto continues to convey the message that it is a reluctant partner in any deal that makes Bosh’s departure more lucrative.
If the Raptors ultimately consent to a sign-and-trade, Bosh would be able to sign a six-year max deal with the Heat worth nearly $130 million and LeBron and D-Wade would score max deals, too. Toronto, meanwhile, would come away with a very big trade exception and presumably at least one first-round pick … possibly its 2011 first-rounder that was previously dealt to Miami.
But Miami’s lack of options -- with only Beasley and Mario Chalmers officially on the roster on Decision Day – and concerns about Beasley’s off-the-court issues are undeniable stumbling blocks when it comes to any deal.
Such is Miami’s fortune these days, though, that it can offer near-maxes to the three Team USA buddies even without finding a new home for Beasley. The Heat found that out Wednesday night, along with the rest of a grumbling league, when the NBA announced that the salary cap next season will be nearly $2 million higher than anticipated: $58 million as opposed to $56.1 million.
The latest estimates say that James, Wade and Bosh could all sign deals with a first-year salary just under $1 million less than the max if the Heat make no more moves before James’ makes his intentions official. Miami would have to fill out the rest of its roster with minimum-salary players, but the trio’s financial sacrifice would have been more unrealistic if the cap figure didn’t rise. Factor in the lack of state income tax in Florida and the sacrifice shrinks further.

Jermaine O'Neal to the Celtics, according to Wojo
There's coming in now pretty heavy. Outlaw, Korver, O'Neal, etc.
How long until RJ gets his bloated, regrettable contract?
How so? Knicks have Chandler and Gallinari at SF and a gaping hole at PG. My guess is they go hard after Felton if they lose out on LeBron.
Wizards and Clippers both have holes at the SF spot and can pay above MLE...they seem like more likely destinations if he were to leave SA.

This would be great news for the spurs cause RJ should be in the same ballpark salary wise..
I have this sinking feeling that signing splitter will be the only FA move made for the spurs, and they'l be stuck with holes at SF, and C/SF/SG in the second unit. They've never been known to do great FA work. All their praise has been deserved through the draft. In fact, they've shat the bed in FA for the last ten years.
Don't think it's much of our FO ting the bed in FA but just goes to show that's San Antonio is a pretty hard place to recruit up and coming players. We have had good pickups like horry, rasho, Barry, finley but they were all veterans by that time who just wanted to win
As long as its your highest source I feel good about this then..I am so ready for this process to finish and we can start talking about the summer league.

6 years 55 for Haywood? Wow....
And the overpaying keeps on coming. How serious are these owners about drastically reducing terms of player salaries? Based on the outlandish spending this off-season, it doesn't seem like they give a crap at all.
I'm just looking forward to the owners making their inevitable "Sprewell" comment to the Players Association.
