Some rumors I've been hearing

Sorry I haven't been as involved as in the past but life has been pretty crazy for me. Things are semi settling down but here's the stuff I've been hearing the past month.

Nets asked about Boozer and Belinelli. Interest in Boozer is mild. I heard Orlando has interest in Boozer too. With Hamilton I heard the Cavs.

I also heard we've been talking to the Suns about Gortat and Dudley. The Bulls feel Noah can play PF just fine. Al Jefferson is being talked about as well

Before the Raptors signed Pietrus they called us about Belinelli

There's some other stuff too but that's the basics. I'd have to scroll through my text but I think Redick was talked about as well.

I know the Bulls, Bucks and Kings were talking some three way where the Bulls got Jimmer.

Thanks Ralph. Redick and Gortat have been discussed here.

I'd be shocked if Boozer was shipped out

Maybe three way where cavs get rip, bulls get Redick and magic gets picks and TPE.

Why would the nets want Boozer?

Him and Williams did work well together.

Keep the rumors coming,it wouldn't shock me tho seeing that Thibbs doesn't appear to seem happy with his bench.

He and Deron were really good together, and I'm assuming money isn't an issue with their new owner.

About the rumors: I like the one about Gortat and Jimmer. Not sure how much Jimmer would play here though, given his defensive struggles. I like Gortat, but I don't know if playing Noah at the PF is a good idea.

Good stuff. Good to see the Bulls aren't just sitting there banking on a 2014 plan.

i assume the deal would have to include humphries and another player(s). You lose the option to amnesty booz but hump expires sooner so i think Chicago would do this in a heartbeat.

If this is what bky really wants then it would be a situation where everyone wins. "if" it ever happens it is because deron pushes for it.

Just imagine a Jimmer/Redick backcourt.

I do not understand why would Orlando have interest in Carlos Boozer wouldn't make sense for the Magic at all.

think about the team your talking about. What exactly did they get for the best center of this generation again?

Do anything to get rid of Boozer. Would love to have Al Jeff on this team instead of him.

No, Deron played with Boozer and obviously knows how much he sucks and doesn't care or try. He would go ballistic if they got Boozer.

Right?

They probably asked for about 3 future picks and to take back Humphries' bad contract.

I'd love to have Jefferson. Don't see a deal to be had though.
