he probably will... from the knicks
The amount of money being thrown at guys is incredible. What really makes the Gay deal stupid is that Memphis could match any offer so the only reason to pay him the max is if ANOTHER team signs him to an offer sheet for that amount. Why not just allow things to play out and see if you can avoid that situation?
Chad Ford just tweated the Nets are now the frontrunners for Lebron.
Wow.
chadfordinsider Source says Nets' meeting with LeBron was "tremendous". How tremendous? "Front runner tremendous"
Goddamn, Atlanta is stupid:

If JJ is getting this $$$, what will "top" free agents get?
Looks like "recession" is a made up fantasy word in the NBA world.
saw it in nba forum

rumors about Blazers offer for CP3.
I'm kind of curious now to know what the blazers offered for TP
Yup. All that talk of money worries was apparently BS. The max for Gay? That's gonna be a kick in the balls for the Grizz in a couple of years.
I'm not even sure that Gay is better than Mayo at this point. Crazy.
Chad Ford has never gotten anything wrong. dude shouldn't have a job.
I'd honestly say Gay was the fourth best player for the Grizzlies last season.
This just shows what the statisticians have been saying: scoring (and only scoring) determines contract values, with very few exceptions. A high-volume inefficient scorer that hardly does anything else well is one of the worst players to overpay, but it happens time after time after time. Iverson, Villanueva, Gordon, and now Gay. When will they learn?
the most important and pertinent nugget of that info is this:
possibility of moving TP for the same deal?If the Nets don't land LeBron, expect them to re-engage the Indiana Pacers in talks about a Danny Granger for Devin Harris and Derrick Favors swap.
So Lebron hasn't signed yet?
can't sign until July 8th. can only commit.
Jefferson is seeking a multiyear contract that averages in the range of $8 million-$10 million, sources said. He opted out of the $15 million final season of his contract with the Spurs on Tuesday.
Jefferson has built a good relationship with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, but doesn’t think the team’s system best fits his skills.
The Spurs could still try to sign Jefferson to a contract that lowers their luxury-tax hit, depending on what other options they find in free agency.
It never ends!
I'd say this is true for PGs, SGs, and SFs. For big men, they mostly throw gobs of money at you because you're big.
Why do you want to destroy the Spurs?
I expect him to announce his intent on Monday.So Lebron hasn't signed yet?
Its a vicious circle. Coaches have a hard time selling young players on sacrificing their stats for the good of the team when the players know that their future earnings will largely be determined by their stats. They only have to look at players like Iverson, Marbury, Arenas, McGrady, etc.
just read about the rudy gay contract - wow!!! that is f. ridiculous. most ppl think that his ceiling is danny granger - which would be a great 3rd option on a championship level team. do you pay those ppl max contracts? i don't think so. heck, i would have only given him $60 mil for 5 years.
good thing nba is restructuring the cba - no wonder why teams are in the red.
if Tony is gonna walk at the end of 2010 why not get something now? is that why you've been ing and complaining about getting RJ back to do a S/T!?
