SUMMER 2012 SPECULATION THREAD



[Ex: Draft, Free Agency, Trades, Training Camp, Player Offseason news, Coaching news, Front Office/Management news, etc.]

[Bensational]

can you resize images using the [img] command?

[PeePee la Fritz]

There's my online heroin! I didn't know what to do with myself with no spec thread to refresh every 10 minutes

[rcklsscognition]

Thank goodness this is back!

Nerlens Noel said Cavs, Magic and Wizards aren't worried about his knee. "They’ve said that my knee is 100% and perfectly fine," Noel said.

[Bensational]

lol. yeah, it's the thread for every and any kind of thought. i felt lost without it. probably posted in several completely inappropriate places whilst i was waiting, too.

I'm with you Ben. Thanks for putting this one together!

This should be a good Monday with Doc to LAC done and basically every NBA reporter on the draft now that the Finals are done, they've gone home to see their wife and kids, and now back to work.

[jgosche]

This was probably posted in the last speculation thread, but just in case it wasn't: http://dimemag.com/2013/06/report-chris ... -clippers/

Chris Paul is apparently ready to sign a max deal now that they traded for Doc Allen. Bledsoe is now expendable.

The question now is whether Coach Rivers wants to continue with a two-PG set or go more traditional with Afflalo and have Billups as a combo-backup. Given the injury concerns, the later does make sense to me.

If Butler is part of the Bledsoe for Afflalo deal, the Clippers would need a starting SF.

[CPBalla2003 n da 863]

good to have this back, i was looking for the thread to skim thru, hopefully Bledsoe is still available, isn't Barnes still on the team, or did he only do another 1 yr deal with the Clips?

[94_MagicFan]

Hopefully The Bos-La deal will be the first domino to fall

Barnes is not under contract. But if Butler is dealt, Barnes can get the salary bump he hopes for; say 3M for the season. Or 5M for two.

Hopefully The Bos-La deal will be the first domino to fall

That Garnet cannot be traded in a separate deal could really help Orlando. The Clippers have limits to how they can improve their roster, and Afflalo for Bledsoe is one very obvious way.

Worst possible situation for me, NBA draft is on my gfs birthday :*(

Tried explaining yesterday how important it was but she couldn't wrap her head around it.

[rcklsscognition]

I really like the afflalo bledsoe trade. They may want Moore too, doc coached him in Boston, and he could replace bledsoe.
