Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXV: Offseason Edition)

[rcklsscognition]

I'm sure GMs around the league are looking at Houston with the 14 and 16 picks. If Portland could attract FAs, I'd say they'd be willing to work a deal, but unfortunately for them they've got to stick to getting prospects from the draft and trying to convince them to stay upon FA.

Hornets looks pretty promising.

Lillard or Marshall
Gordon
Ariza
Okafor
AD

And in the bench they have Jack, Vasquez, Jason Smith, Henry, Ayon... pretty good and young core.

If Nelson leaves us maybe we could trade for Jarret Jack...

I'll plant my flag.

President of Basketball Operations: Phil Jackson
General Manager: Dennis Lindsey
Head Coach: Brian Shaw

Dwight Howard extends and he and Phil pay D-Will a visit and recruit hard. If it fails, D-Will goes to Dallas. We clear a lot of bad contracts this season, and make a run at CP3 in 2013.

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if Bower gets the GM position, but I'm rolling with Lindsey.

Wow first time I've seen this but I like it.

Where's this Phil Jackson stuff coming from? I thought that was just fan pipe dream stuff. Is there any truth to what I have seen posted?

[rcklsscognition]

I don't know who is getting GM but I take Martins going to New Orleans as a sign he's going to tell Bower he doesn't have the job. Since they're friends, I'm sure Alex wants to tell him in person, unlike Stan.

BS from the Sentinel says "something big might happen".

I heard this but how does anyone make that into Phil Jackson the GM or PBO. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it , but that is a new level of stretch.

Wake up bud. That isn't happening.

[MagicMan89]

I still think we can send J.Rich, Rights to Fran to minny for #18, and Brad Millers deal.

[Bensational]

Lol, no Dwight to NJ deal is gonna be happening then.

Good. Hopefully now the Nets won't have the assets to retain Deron and that puts us back in the driver's seat with negotiations with Dwight. Heck, we might be in with a chance to organise a s&t for Deron. That would be such sweet irony.

[D12VCMagic]

I get the feeling the GM will be Bower, because Martins worked with him in New Orleans. It would be stupid though, we need Lindsey or Weaver. An up and comer with knowledge from intelligent people.

[dwightsmight12]

I'll throw a molotov at Martins' car if we choose Bower over that great field of candidates.

[CPBalla2003 n da 863]

I hope its not Bower....
