Man i just hope we sign or trade someone soon. It's too quiet on the spurs front.
definitely a better PG than Lin, I don't understand why the Rockets let him go if he is clearly better than Lowry and Lin, at least IMO.

NY won't let Lin go ! Lin is money machine and the Knicks FO knows it.
Morey is overrated. Now he is stuck with an unhappy Lowry, 7 PFs and no starting Center.
14th for the 4th year in a row !
Lowry is/was the starter and resented the minutes Dragic got after Lowry came back from his injury. He was threatening all sorts of things and wanted to be traded if Dragic signed for more money. Houston liked Dragic but didn't think he was ready to be number 1 PG.
I suspect NY will end Rockets flirtation with Linsanity by matching offer. Poor Rockets can't seem to get a break on the trading front or earlier by trying to movie up in draft to lottery pickets.
Many fans are getting upset with their FO and Morey for not making miracles happen but they may have to be satisfied with less than than their high expectations.

looks like Kidd has decided to go to Knicks instead
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/stor...ew-york-knicks
In an unforeseen reversal, Jason Kidd has decided to leave the Dallas Mavericks to join the New York Knicks, according to sources familiar with the decision.
With the Mavericks confident that they were closing in Thursday on a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Kidd worth $9 million, sources told ESPN.com that Kidd -- after all-day deliberations with both teams -- has decided instead to leave Dallas to join the Knicks for a similar deal.
The contract can't actually be signed until July 11, which is the first day new NBA contracts can be signed. It's also possible, one source said, that Kidd could ultimately move to the Knicks in a sign-and-trade deal.
Sources briefed on the matter told ESPN.com that Kidd was ultimately swayed to take the Knicks' offer to come to New York and take on the challenge of trying to help the Knicks move into the Eastern Conference and also mentor fans darling' Jeremy Lin.
Best move for Dallas so far.
I don't think it has anything to do with Ibaka, as neither Thabeet or Perkins can play power forward. This is all about Perkins. They're clearly trying to see if it would be possible to get by with Aldrich/Thabeet at center and not lose much, so that they could trade or amnesty Perkins, if necessary, to re-sign Harden and Ibaka.

So is Duncan the only top free agent that hasn't been publicly offered a contract yet?

Has anyone posted about Rockets trading Lowry to Toronto for #4 lottery pick in 2013 draft? This was AFTER Dragic opted for the Suns. Now Houston has no legitimate PG.
Sports lines here in Houston are burning up. Most angry at Darrell Morey for not producing either a high lottery pick in the past or a miracle deal for a Superstar like Dwight Howard.
Morey may have decided to blow up the team so they can move way down in standings--and way up in the lottery sweepstakes as their only option. If they could wind up with two picks in the lottery next year, then that plan might be highly successful.
Yep. Throwing money at Kidd would be crazy considering all the horses they've let out of the barn the last 12 months. Thank him for helping them win a ring and then figure out whether or not to put Dirk out of his misery or try to trade him for Dwight Howard.
On the Celtics front, agent David Falk continues to say he thinks a deal gets done with Boston for free agent forward Jeff Green. One source with knowledge of the talks says it may be in the four years, $40 million neighborhood, but it is not done.
"I’m confident it’ll get done," Falk told SI.com. "I guess they got (Brandon) Bass' (contract) done, which is great. Jeff is trying to get a sense of what the team looks like first before he makes a commitment, but I expect he’ll be there and I expect it’ll be done by the 11th (when the free agency moratorium ends). We’ve gotten a lot of interest from other teams. But as far as Boston, we’re very confident we’ll get it done.
"He wants to be in Boston. He’s excited about the moves they’ve made. He’s hoping Ray Allen comes back as well, because he feels very close to Ray Allen." Allen is visiting Miami today and appears to be down to Boston and the Heat for his considerations.

4-year, $40 for Jeff Green?
Jesus Christ how many big men does Boston need?
As of July 1st they had zero under contract, so they need a few.
KG might not even finish his current contract. Furthermore, an injury at his age could be more difficult to recover.
Jeremy Evans got three years and $5.5M. Not much but a lot for someone who hasn't shown to be able to do anything other than finish alleyoop dunks.
Can't believe they are considering paying Jeff Green that much. That's almost a bid against yourself, RJ level contract.
I was surprised that Lowry could fetched that high of a pick, so to me Houston did alright since the plan there seems to rebuild anyway. Apparently Houston isn't bound to take the pick if its in crappy, and if so can choose to take Toronto's pick in a later year.
Looks like Hornets and Rockets will be swapping positions in the West next year tbh. Hornets a 8-10 seed in the west, while Houston near the bottom.
Agreed. I think they are hoping and praying he can be Pierce's successor or something. Wow.
At this point all of Houston's starters are going to be PFs and then Kevin Martin
Morey's plan doesn't make any sense to me
If the plan is to rebuild, why the heck he gave big offers to Lin and Asik ? Why are they chasing Gordon in a S&T scenario ?
Houston fans may not admit but it has been a terrible off-season so far for them. No starting PG, no starting Center, 7 PFs and a starting SG that doesn't want to play there anymore.
