I actually don't think there will be a high demand for Dwight and Rondo, but ya, I'm looking forward to seeing which teams will stupidly pay Conley, Barnes and Beal..Barnes, in particular, I still don't see why there is so much hype around him..
Not even close.. none of these guys graduates beyond a 3rd banana on contender..Either Durant or pass next summer..

The supply will drive down the asking price for Noah/Pau & guys like Courtney Lee/Mayo since PATFO will be looking to reload when Tim/Manu retire as champions at the end of the season.![]()
I'm convinced that the Mavs will offer Dwert a max for one last run before Dirk retires.
Ezeli is also going to get a max offer or close to it; Eric Gordon/Al Jefferson are going to be the salvage projects.
Good luck for spurs going with the same team, not taking any chance to bring an addition, and lol fans thinking this is the right way! Like after 5 when i said spurs had to bring another addition if they want to get over the hump and win back to back and all you stupid fans thought it's fine to keep the same team cause they just won a le and it's fine... Also this time you fans look at the stupid record and think because of this the team at the right place roster wise, lol spurs and the fans!
Just stop. Teams not named the Nets don't trade three first rounders unless you're getting back a superstar. Rudy Gay doesn't.
This isn't NBA 2K
Cause spurs just can't miss oportonity of drafting another garbage slomo, garbage milutinov or whatever? stop being so delusional, spurs needed to take a risk and make a big move, they are not in good place and fans think it's all right...
You're delusional for thinking Rudy Gay has positive value, let alone more than Diaw. Bad (high usage and inefficient) player on a bad contract.
Rudy Gay very good player just not a leader, so if you put him not as a main guy he could have been for us very positive with his talent and atheltic ability... Diaw is a joke now... The bigger point is not Rudy Gay, is Spurs not in good place and needed to take risk and do significant move...

Back specialists are still reviewing Motiejunas' situation. Small possibility that trade could be voided if things don't check out.
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
Usual timing to complete physicals and finish a trade is 72 hours (tonight). #Pistons have requested a 24-hour extension (not approved yet).
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons SVG on whether Motiejunas trade could be voided: "We’ll see. If they don’t give us more time, we’d have to make a decision."
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
It's important to note that #Pistons have consulted a back specialist in addition to their regular doctors, which is adding to delay.
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
I would believe #Pistons are more concerned about long-term potential issues than rest of this season. Again, trade isn't just for now.
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
Since trade was approved by league on Thu night, 72 hours would be tonight. Extension, if approved, would push it to Monday night.
D-Mo is damaged goods..seems like Morey knew it all..
Not so fast. Montejunas didn't pass his physical.
I glad for Detroit that they didn't get fleeced. Dmo is a good player, but he seems now firmly in the Varejao, Splitter, Bogut career path. Hopefully fir him he recovers next season bc he's still young but glad the Rockets didn't dump damaged goods on someone else.
I'm happy for them cause of that pick. Late lottery or mid first round pick was a lot for those two.
If Spurs wanted some type of chance they should have traded for Rudy and start against the Warriors a small ball lineup of: Tony, Danny, Kawhi, Rudy and LMA...
Not sure where to post this but here we go
Can't think of a better fit than OKC
A team that heavily relies on ISO-ball missing another scorer and their SG situation stinks with Waiters and Roberson.
I'd like him on the Spurs just to mentor Anderson. That's the type of offensive game Kyle needs to develop, as he already has the play-making down.
Even though I believe that the OKC fit is better, I think he ends up in CLE with Lebron
Johnson hasn't been able to defend shooting guards for a few years.
The Cavs made sense before the Frye acquisition, but now I don't see a consistent rotation spot. They'd have to expand to ten, but that's probably unlikely and even then, he wouldn't get many minutes.
I don't it matters much when you have a guy that can't defend or score like Waiters logging several minutes. Roberson is a good defender, but he offers nothing offensively. If OKC feels that JJ is too much of a liability defensively,he could come off the bench as a scoring punch just like the way OKC does with Kanter.
As for the Cavs, I agree that they have a crowed rotation, but nothing guarantees that they're going to remain healthy. Shumpert is out injured right now.
Why not add talent for the minimum when the guy wants to go there ? I mean, if JJ agrees to go there as everything indicates, I'd say he is ok with a smaller role and he's probably there to chase a ring.
Oops, meant to post in post-trade deal line thread. Carry on.
Fair enough.
The Heat make sense, partially for now (him and Deng will be playing a lot of small ball power forward, with Bosh out), but more so for next season. People are scoffing at them giving him multi-years, but he'll provide them with a cheap Deng replacement and unlike Deng, I think he's at the point where he'd accept backing up Winslow, playing some small ball power forward and serving as a spot starter for the games Wade misses.
Yeah I agree with you. Deng has way less leverage right now and depending on how much he asks next season, I think the Heat will let him go. My feeling is that whoever gives him his last fat contract will regret it. Winslow may not be totally ready right now, but Miami knows he is the future. Kid is only 19 y/o and he is already a stud defensively.
