Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXXII Off-Season Edition)

Has there been any news on our possible Head Coach while I've been gone?

Not really same old group shaw, Malone, they added jaque vaugn to the list.

[JBR152]

When I heard Jacque Vaughn was added to the coaching list, I about drove my car off the bridge

[TDJacksonville]

Just a couple of days ago some of you guys thought I was nuts when I said Lopez was going to get at least $12 mil per based on what others were getting... I'm not looking so crazy right now, am I?

i think teams this year feel the need to spend the Money burning a hole in their pocket. i hope we can just Trade anderson to get something back for him

Unlikely, read Anderson's watch. Kings will offer a front-loaded contract.

well that stinks

[TDJacksonville]

Yeah, if we deal D12 to Houston, we MUST bring Donatas!

agree. even if it cost us a First round pick from them id take him over a first

I agree, he is much better than the rookies that Rockets drafted this year. He is the new Dirk.

im thinking if we could somehow 3 way with the lakers and rockets would be great

[kman1023]

Still coming to terms with D12 wanting out. Seriously, what is so bad about Orlando, this city has done almost everything it can for him. In exception of the Orlando Sentinel writers I really can't see what the team has done wrong. Oh and Otis..

jacque vaughn?

LoL. I heard about that. I meant when is Rob and Alex going to meet with the coaches? Or when we can expect to hear a hiring.

Rob is doing interviews next week. He'll then give Alex his finalist(s), then Alex will interview the candidate(s). Then the DeVos family will interview. I think we're still about 2 weeks away from hiring the coach.

Many believe Shaw is the favorite. A few others are hoping for Malone. Can't go wrong with either.

[EasternMagic]

Lets go BYNUM! *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

lol. ...NICCCCCEEEEEEEE-*fab voice*

this one makes me chuckle everytime...

How does that make you laugh.... that makes me sad.

a little rumor is that's the goal and we're trying to get one of Houston's wings to come with Bynum. But, just hear-say.

[Nyce_1]

FWIW, Ron Artest's brother is saying 88% chance Dwight is a Laker by Tuesday.

If Ron is included in the deal, you'd think he'd know he's about to be dealt and spill the beans to his fam.

I don't have the patience for this. LOL.

Thanks for the info though.

2 minutes before that tweet he posted this

"I'd be surprised if lakers get Dwight"

so i dunno

I've slowly been coming to terms with trading for Bynum. When Shaq left we got nothing. At least we get Bynum this time. He would help attract other FAs here. He is good when healthy.

I just hate how he's never healthy. I cringe the day we offer him a 5 year, max deal. That said, if Dwight's back is bad, the idea of it serves as an equalizer of sorts.

If we can dump Hedo for an expiring, I'm on board.

if we could get Dirk 2.0 with a Wing we will be in business

I'm content with Bynum but he damn sure better not come with Artest......that should be a deal breaker

Artest would be our best perimeter defender. If the big picture is 2013 FA, then I'd hate taking Artest. But if 2014 is the prize, then I'd welcome him.

I'd ship Artest to Bos for Bradley and hope the Celtics beat BK, stop Miami, and screw the Lakers.

[rcklsscognition]

We know Fegan and Orlando are done with each other now, so J-Rich is going with Dwight anywhere he gets traded. MWP for J-Rich saves us some cash and a year.

lets hope so! It would be fun seeing MWP and Bynum mixing it up with Lebron, KG, and the rest of the league! lol

Edit: and BBD spitting and flying into the stands!

I apologize if its somewhere in the thread, but what is MWP's contract look like?

[AdamTheGreek]

I'll be shocked if we brought Artest back. We may be getting a new coach, and have a new GM, but the DeVos family would probably flip their ****. MWP is way worse than say a Baby (obviously he's already family now) or Wafer (part psycho).

[arsenal6106]

For those of you that are of legal age, just relax and have a drink. Whatever happens with Dwight, happens. **** is out of our control!
