General 2012 Free Agency Discussion

I figured Allen was gone once they signed Jason Terry.

If the heat got Allen then no Camby for them?

Nellie-ball was basically 5 SFs. Is Morey-ball 5 PFs?

Hinrich, who spent his first seven seasons with the Bulls, is expected to sign a two-year deal worth just over $6 million, one source said, though details were still being finalized. The free-agent moratorium ends July 11.

From the Spurs' perspective: Good news if it means that Kyle Korver and/or Ronnie Brewer will be waived by the Bulls. More SGs on the market improves the chances of bringing back Danny Green at a reasonable price.

Can anyone who has watched him play give a fair assessment of Hamed Haddadi? Guy is a free agent and made less than 2M last year for the Grizz. What fr example separates tiago from this guy? It could be a lot, I just don't know. Thanks.

Aaron Brooks now an unrestricted free agent, being pursued by Houston and Dallas.

[Mel_13]

Jeff Green and Ryan Anderson both get 4yrs/36M.

Crazy.

[Mel_13]

Fairly obvious conclusion from the Kirk Hinrich signing, but C.J. Watson has been told his option won't be picked up.

3.2M contract must clear waivers before he becomes a FA.

Have the Bulls decided anything about Korver or Brewer ?

Ronnie Brewer isn't sure if the Chicago Bulls will pick up his option for next season. Brewer said his future in Chicago is "up in the air."

The latest rumors have Dwight Howard going to the Nets as part of a three-team trade that has Kris Humphries landing in Cleveland. If the Nets add Howard, Billy King automatically wins exec of the year. DWill, Joe J, Crash and D-Ho is pretty damn formidable.

Pretty damn formidable. That is a nice way of saying they are stackeeeeeeddddddddddddd.

Veteran shooting guard Raja Bell told The Salt Lake Tribune on Sunday he's reached a verbal agreement with Utah for a buyout of his 2012-13 contract. Once the deal is formalized, Bell expects to be free to sign with any team in the league.

"I've been given the greenlight and we've agreed to terms," said Bell, who's set to make $3.4 million this season.

A message left for Jazz General Manger Kevin O'Connor wasn't immediately returned.

Bell's already drawn interest from several clubs since free agency began July 1, and he acknowledged teams such as Miami, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers are interesting to him. He would not specify which organizations have recently shown interest, though, since his buyout had previously not been made public and he wants to respect the Jazz's role in the process.

Yeah, King pulling that off shows the benefits of Big City + Big Money.

I think Hennigan just wants to clear all the cap from the he got put into from Otis Smith.

Magic brass will meet at 9 a.m. to discuss if they should pull the trigger on the three-team deal with the Nets and Cavaliers.

[Leetonidas]

Word is they need a 4th team to trade a pick for Marshon Brooks. Spurs need to get in on that

[Mel_13]

Nets v. Magic from the Orlando Summer League, live on NBATV at 10AM CT.

This Marshon Brooks?

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...brookma01.html

I wouldn't trade a first for that. I'd want at least a 2nd round pick to take that...

0-10?

[Laredoart]

SPURS NEED TO GET Marcin Gortat FROM THE Suns, ASAP!!!!! We can give them Splitter, 2 or 3 more players with some picks. Gortat gets pay 7.3 for the next 2 seasons, he's 6'11", 240 lbs, 28 yrs old, 15.4 ppg, 10 rpg and 1.5 bpr, what else do we need from a C. We need to this right now, before somebody else puts a package together. We can still find a PF, but we need to pick this guy for our short and long term goals.

[Laredoart]

If we are trying to get better in our interior D, then we need some shot blocking guys. I believe this two guys can help to that cause, C Bismack Biyombo from Charlotte - Yes hes a 6'9", but different than our 6'9"s hes a blocker, only 19 yrs old and gets pay 2.9 for the next 3 yrs, then we got PF Ekpe Udoh from the Bucks - Hes 6'10", 25 yrs old, and gets pay 3.5 the next 2 yrs. Cheap, young and not big names, the reason why these guys get overlook is because we dont ever see any highlights from those teams, just like last year when we went deep in the playoff and a lot of people didnt even knew about how good TP played this past year and about Leonard, just cause they dont have a big name does mean this guys can get the job done on the D side.

Roy Hibbert was turned around at the airport.... in the security line when he was told the Pacers were matching, per Mike Wells 750am

Hibbert canceled his physical and his visit to Portland at the airport.

Btw-Pritchard is now the Indiana GM. Anyone else think that he waits the full 3 days before matching?
