LOL, who would watch a TV show starring Dwight Howard? He's so annoying.

chris palmer ‏@ESPNChrisPalmer 33m

Hearing strongly that Howard will resign with the Lakers.

Just watching who breaks news...and good god is Chris Broussard useless. He's usually the last to report things and often just parrots what Woj and Stein report first.

What a rumor that is. The only one reporting that is him. Woj hasn't said anything about it.

I still haven't figured out exactly what Chris Palmer does. Is he an editor at ESPN? I don't really see him write anything and he doesn't appear in any of their videos.

All I've discerned is that he's paid to tweet things. It's a nice job to have, no doubt. I wouldn't mind being paid to just tweet things and not being of much consequence.

So, Martell Webster... 4 years, $22M. He did shoot pretty well last season, but his career PER isn't even 12. At least the last year is only a partial guarantee.

The Nets will disappoint this year just like the Lakers did last year. I see them fighting to make the playoffs as the big story of next year.

If this guy does all this just to end up staying in L.A., I will officially apologize to Lebron for thinking he was the biggest primadonna in the history of the NBA. :lol:

And you know how this will end right? He'll re-sign with L.A., get Pringles fired, and then request a trade.

That sounds like some pretty wishful thinking buddy...

Tv show with Dwight Howard....wow terrible

Dwight probably thinks its a great idea though.

Kevin Martin is pretty much gone.

It's gonna be fun watching OKC for the next few years. When Durant's contract expires.....oh boy.....

Should have kept Harden.

So much for the heavily anticipated Bulls-Thunder NBA Finals match-up.

I didn't get this from anywhere this is come to my mind right now with Clippers trade Bledsoe they may need to look for a point guard to backup CP3 unless they believe Crawford can back up CP3. Anyways, this come to my mind I am wondering if the Clippers could probably go after Nate Robinson? Something to think about.

Can someone please make a thread which only shows who teams have signed, drafted and trade for? Because its hard to keep up with every transaction in the league by reading through pages and pages of comments. I think a thread without any discussions like that Derrick Rose news thread we had a little while ago would help everyone keep up to date with the news in the NBA.

Kevin Martin 4/28 to the Timberwolves is not too bad.

One of the more reasonable signings so far.

He is kind of made of glass though, but potent scorer when healthy.

There's already a thread regarding trades and FA signings with everything of note in the OP, which is continually updated. Pretty sure you could easily google the 2013 NBA draft and see who got drafted where, not exactly a need for a thread.

Very good deal for the Timberwolves and Martin... very bad deal for OJ Mayo. That's one less "above the Full MLE" contract that's available for him.

Well to everyone wondering why Iguodala would opt out...

WojYahooNBA
Sacramento is offering free agent Andre Iguodala a four year, approximately $56 million contract, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Do we still think Deng is going to give us a big discount if Iggy goes for $14M a year?
