2013 General Free Agent Signings/News and Trades

[BatManu20]

It's Houston... Has to be. He was leaning towards them anyways. Glad it's over. Houston, you just guaranteed yourselfs that you won't win anything for the next 5 years. Congrats.

If this is in fact true (not sure how Amick managed to beat Wojnarowski and the other top insiders, but it's not like he's some virtual unknown like the idiot out of Phoenix that claimed the Spurs were in serious discussions for Gortat), then I don't get the Iguodala move by the Warriors.

Sure, at times, they can get away with playing Barnes at PF, but for the most part, they've limited him to roughly half a game off the bench, which will obviously stunt his development, plus given away 2 future 1sts and a quality 3D wing, in Rush and for what? I like Iguodala, but he doesn't boost their ceiling enough to justify the move.

Was thinking the same. He was a wonderful fit in a sign-and-trade, since the team could fill out its bench other trades and the MLE (not to mention re-signing Jack). But it's going to be hard to compete this year, since they're not nearly the biggest contender for free agents to flock to on minimum deals.

For Spurs, it's better to have Howard going to Rockets than to Lakers because it removes a team with cap space.

Right now these are the team with more than the MLE in cap sapce:
Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando, Philadelphia and Sacramento.

I really hope Spurs will pick the cap space + room exception option. I feel it's now a buyers market.

Tons of talent out there but spurs r gonna have to start burning bodies just to have any money to bring in a upgrade

[Mugen]

We'll have to wait and see what they do with Asik/Lin but D12/Parsons/Harden is still well below the Spurs/Thunder tbh.

@ Howard

[houston spurs fan]

Morey ed Dallas, OKC, and LA in back to back seasons. Well played, respect.

[Samr.]

Who woulda thought, of all the teams involved involved in the trade that sent howard to the lakers originally, Orlando would be the one that came out of it looking the best and the Lakers would end up being decimated?

[DesignatedT]

This would be too good if Howard actually chooses LA.

He's going to Houston. This is all bull drama.

Yeah, I think it's because Dwight is an attention . He's just trying to keep this thing going, imo.

[Mel_13]

So Dwight voted Dallas, GS, and Atlanta off of the island. Final tribal council tomorrow.

Dwight's reaching legendary drama queen status.

[davidbowie]

[cd021]

Yeah...I had been off the internet for like 3 hours and now Houston has Dwight, and GSW must have nude photos of the GM and Owner of the Jazz. How Utah agreed to take on both RJ & Biedrens for 2 1st rounders is stunning to me. On the plus side both of these guys will be off their roster by the end of the year and they get an extra pick in a great draft.

Will be interesting to see what happens to Asik/Lin

[Nathan89]

I like Iguodala, but he doesn't boost their ceiling enough to justify the move.

I can tell you one team they can get away with playing Barnes at the PF against.

All we Need Is the made for tv special

[davidbowie]

Did everyone forget that Dwight in blows and is a cancer to his team

[RD2191]

Howard is such a ing got. We would still own Houston. They play no defense and we have Baynes

[look_at_g_shred]

Supposedly has agreed to sign with Houston from what I'm hearing.

[Mugen]

Lin/Asik to the Hawks for Josh Smith would be great news for the Spurs has it removes another team with capspace for AK and Milsap.

A Harden/Smith/Howard trio does not scare me at all tbh.
