???Bynum???

New from Peachtree Hoops : http://www.peachtreehoops.com/2013/7/10 ... ne-to-pony

What's he asking for? It hasn't been reported, except that reported offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers of a 2 year, 24 million dollar deal. If that report is right, Bynum may want more money and/or dollars that that. We thought coming in that he would want a regular 4 year, 50-65M dollar deal. Is he trying for that now?

Dallas would have to make a move on Shawn Marion, the Hawks are in good position to go up a little, but is one of the teams that may move on, and then Cleveland, who made the original offer.

We'll see how long he cares to wait, but be sure that these teams may make a counter-move in the media, allowing other rumors of players to be going to their clubs, and see if that entices Bynum to come back to them instead.

Bolding and underlining of text is my doing.

Stay away from that cancer the hawks are good people
and you guys don.t deserve that.

It sure looks as if he wants a patsy to fund his bowling and dancing for the next 4 years. Maybe his plan is to sit out the 1st 3 years, then to grit his teeth and play the last 20-30 games of season 4 and get another max contract.

From Marc Stein:

Just added to @espn_macmahon's Andrew Bynum story: Sources say Cavs' 2-year, $24M offer only guaranteed for $6M. Still Drew's highest offer

Apparently, our offer (3/27 or whatever it is) has benchmarks that make him earn his salary. Good.

I believe Bynum would be a tremendous addition for a roster and a franchise like ours.
With Bynum, and a cheap back-up center, we could have easily the best front court in the East.

It would be great to sign Bynum, renew Teague and get Kirilienko. We still need a real SF, although Korver and Millsap can both offer minutes there.

If Teague goes to Milwaukee (to enjoy LDs knowledge of himself for more money, instead of becoming a great PG with MBH for less), then we would be signing Jennings, but I believe we would not have enough money for Kirilienko.

[D21]

I would sign Kirilenko hundreds of times before signing Jennings, and Jennings is certainly asking more than Kirilenko.

Aaaaaaand, he chooses CLE. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/94682 ... ource-says

Moving on.

Broussard reporting Bynum signed with Cleveland.

D Ferry strikes out again.

I really wish we had drafted Dieng.

What the hell is D Ferry doing?

ARE we tanking?
Poor Coach Bud...

[PandaKidd]

not really striking out, we tried, we werent willing to give a HUGE RISK 6-8 million dollars. Neither were the mavericks.

Neither was ANY OTHER TEAM

But , Ferry alluded to "more phone calls to be made, more contracts to be signed' today during Millsaps intro.

Neither Atlanta nor Dallas, sources tell ESPN, made formal offer to Bynum after their respective sitdowns with the former All-Star this week

Tells me there were more question marks than certainties.

Mavs were pursuing him HARD, and never made an offer.

[D21]

At 6M only guaranteed per year, I would have add a extra full unguaranteed third year.
In a 3 big rotations, he didn't have to play 35 minutes, and all the back-to-back. If he stays healthy, we would have dominated all East frontcourts for sure.

A gamble, but a better gamble than any other.
And now, DAL is said to be interesting in Oden, but not ATL

It's less of a gamble because it will certainly be more unguaranteed than Bynum, so I hope we are after him too to test Horford with a real big potential C this season and not wait next season or more without knowing.
