2013 General Free Agent Signings/News and Trades

[TheGreatYacht]

I don't usually say this but Bogut and Klay for Dwightmare would be going full re .

How is Dwight going to work in GSW's uptempo offense when he couldn't hack it under Dantoni?

I agree. I actually think that a better deal would be Dwight Howard for Andrew Bogut and David Lee. The salaries would be more evened out and Dwight can do everything that Bogut and Lee do combined. A starting lineup of Dwight Howard, Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson, and Steph Curry = Championship.

[DPG21920]

It's a risky move for GS, but to be honest I think it's a risk worth taking. Bogut, while talented, is oft injured and can't be relied upon. While he's a tremendous post defender, that is less and less important in today's NBA. Not only can Dwight give you better post defense, but he's overall a much better defender. He's a more dominant offensive player as well.

If it's for Barnes (incredibly unlikely if they are offering Klay) that's a no brainer for GS IMO. Even if it's for Klay, whom is a very talented player, I still think it is worth it.

I really don't see Dwight going to GS. I think it's HOU or LA, that's it. He'd have to agree to a S&T with the Warriors.

Plus I'd rather him just leave or stay cause I don't want the LAkers getting assets.

This dude is such a diva

Is TO and Ocho Cinco going to be in it. What a Joke.

This. I believe that Dwight has his mind set on the Rockets already. Even after everyone interviews him, I believe that the offer is too good to pass by as far as the Rockets go.

So does standing pat mean McGrady is gonna be Kawhi's backup?? Ijs! Jeez

[loveforthegame]

Oh Warriors. Why would you be willing to part with Thompson or Barnes for that big kid? Just no. Hopefully Howard and/or Lakers laugh at them.

Dwight would have to agree to a S&T obviously since he's a FA, so I think he's really not even interested. I think he has his mind set on HOU or LA imo.

That GS team is gonna be very good with them young players. Howard will just up the team. Jackson is a dumbass for letting this happen.

Oklahoma City has begun an aggressive pursuit of Philadelphia free-agent guard Dorell Wright, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.Dorrell Wright

Wright, 27, averaged 9.2 points in 72 games for the Sixers a season ago.

The Thunder are working to stay below the luxury tax threshold this season, searching for bargain contributors able to spread the floor and make shots. The return of Kevin Martin to the Thunder appears unlikely, unless the market for him dries up completely and he has to return at a far lower rate than he's trying to find, league sources said.

I honestly can't believe how desperate all these teams are to sign this dude..

[Mugen]

Bogut/Thompson for Howard would be a great trade for the Warriors tbh.

[marinoman]

I honestly can't believe how desperate all these teams are to sign this dude..

if that actually does sway him Dwight should get kicked out of the league

[Robz4000]

God damn, it's time to ban Howards tbh.

Danny Ainge to Globe: "We are not tanking. Thats ridiculous. This is the Boston Celtics." #celtics

Quick reminder from Danny Ainge. Just because the celtics are giving away their coach and their best players DOES NOT mean they're tanking. They're the Boston Celtics for crying out loud!

[rjv]

I know, right? It's been almost 14 hours for crying out loud. If they haven't done anything by now, they're not going to.

not necessarily, they may be waiting to see what the landscape looks like after the dust settles. no sense in making crazy offers when you can be more frugal once all the big shopping has been done.

Wooo, Juan Time.

Well, that is good news. AK47, within the hopeful 6-8M the Spurs could reasonable hope to have in cap space, is one of my top choices. Really hope that is true. Having everyone back outside of Bonner/Blair/Neal from last year's squad plus an AK47 would be tremendous. His health is of a big concern, but when healthy he is a great fit. Another really solid defender and play maker from the 3/4 spot.
