After tonights Decision 2010 , other things should start to fall into place and maybe Joe can possibly find a trading partner interested in Rip or Tay that we can get something back to reshape this team for the future.
David Lee agrees to Warriors offer of $80 mil over 6 years paving a way for a sign and trade with Knicks. Warriors would send Randolph, Turiaf, and Azubuike to NY.
well...there goes Pf.com wet dream - "david lee for 10mil - do this trade joe" folks it is time to adjust: want something decent? throw in 15 mil...
These teams are going to regret these deals down the line. Golden State gives Lee another bad team that doesn't play defense to stat pad on. Boozer does help Chicago. Haywood was the best center available this FA period. Jermaine O'Neal was horrendous in the playoffs but not the regular season. Interesting is Boston's desire to add an aging PF with bad knees to an aging PF with bad knees. Don't get the Travis Outlaw signing at that much. I suppose he can start, but was there really that competitive a market for him. Interesting FA period.
I am not sure injuries would drop their value much. Wade has never been the healthiest specimen out there, and look at the perpetually injured O'Neil getting almost the same money as CV. But there will be some desperate teams out there throwing money at the players after missing out on the elite FA and having to fill the holes in the roster created by Capp Spayce.
If this has not been posted yet Haywood got his 10mil/yr - almost. 55 mil over 6. Dallas has almost 30mil/yr tied up in Nowitski and Haywood for the next 4 years. And Dirk was being nice by only taking 80 over 4 so Dallas would have money to sign FA's with. NBA.com: Lee to Warriors not a done deal
Beasley has been traded to Minnesota for a 2011 second-round draft pick and a swap of future first-round picks
If he has any heart what so ever, he'll take that as an insult. But this moves us closer to Big AlJeff...........C'mon Joe, get it done man!
2010 NBA free agents: Source says Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce agree on four-year deal - ESPN Boston same old, same old team... but diminishing title hopes? and again, nothing below 15 mil is the cost of a good player today.
New York Knicks miss out on LeBron James sweepstakes - ESPN New York knicks gambled and they lost... as Simmons - the Sports Guy has said one year ago : it is either lebron or nothing...
ooooooooooooooookay, but BUT LEE WAS NOT AVAILABLE WALSH SAID CLEARLY LAST YEAR THAT THEY WILL MATCH EVERY OFFER.
That was LAST year, this year he was an unrestricted free agent who got handed over to the GSW for Anthony Randolph, Azubuke and Turiaf........I think had we really tried we could have put together a better Sign&Trade package than that.
