Around the NBA 16: Let The Games Begin

[dumbell78]

Bleacher Report is stating that the 6ers are working on a deal for Amare Stodamire.....what's next?

If Philly takes Amare, it will be a real surprise that the Bulls cannot find a taker for Boozer's contract. Boozer is healthier, has less salary and the Bulls can give picks/assets. I don't know what to say if Amare goes to Philly and the Bulls cannot unload Boozer...that looks bad on GarPax's resume.

The Knicks are offering Shumpert with Amare's contract for basically a 2nd round pick to whoever is listening.

We would have to offer Boozer and Butler for the same thing. Would rather just keep Butler and amnesty Boozer unless it guarantees we get Love or Melo.

I think the value of a 1st rounder or Jimmy eclipses shump, it ain't even close. Jimmy is easily the better player and the 1st rounder costs you nothing in cap space, and add the fact Boozer costs 6 million less and can still contribute. Mind blowing if Philly does that deal.

Quite literally - just over the Hollywood Hills from me. No wonder the Warriors got rid of this guy. Why is he doing this in LA anyway? We already have plenty of homeless people who say the same things every day.

Because he lives in LA and has a church in the area.

What do you guys think about Westbrook bowing out of USA Basketball...and what implications does that have on Rose?

Good news. Rose needs to 1.) make the team 2.) galvanize. This will help Rose to make the team.

Boozer and Butler have way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way more value in a trade than Amare and Shumpert. Both of those guys have net negative value.

Thank God

Another candidate off the table. LMA says he'll sign a 5 yr extension with the Blazers next summer.

Now to see who takes over. I know we had Swanson overseeing the staffs but she is more of the VP of training than the day to day GM type.

Wow. I gotta guess he was forced out and allowed to look for another job so he and the Bulls could save face.

On the GB they're voting for the worst contract so far this off-season - I voted for Channing Frye's 4 year, 32 million dollar deal. Absolutely stupid.

I was surprised to see Meeks out in front, and by a considerable margin as well. Even Avery Bradley at 4/32 has had more votes than Frye.

Where would you guys rate your worst contracts? I think Frye's is horrible, Meeks is a really stupid overpay but at least it fills a need, and Bradley's is about what I would've expected.

Bradley's is terrible. Its got my vote - though Ben Gordon's is a close second.

Yeah I chose Bradley. However, when it's all said and done I think it will be Hayward.

[panthermark]

That three way deal is HORRIBLE for us if we don't get Melo. Boston is now loaded with assets for a Love trade.

[kodo]

Looks like Hayward will get a max contract from either NO or Utah if they match.

I'm not surprised one bit, although I bet quite a few people will be disgusted.
