2014 Official FA Thread 2

BWG, your poll in the general board is hilarious as most Lakers fans are just laughing at Lebron joining the Suns. Do they think the Lakers have a better shot at him, or are they just delusional Lakers fans?

I don't know if you saw the Kobe tweet thread on that board, but I responded and some Lakers fan ripped me a new one. Huge ****. I even gave him a nice reply and he probably felt bad and I think gave me an And1 and might have given a decent response. If it's still there, check it out.

Link me I'm interested.

I'll go vote in the poll and look.

Just had a thought...

Caron Butler is a free agent, if he was willing to take vet minimum...I think McD would love to have him around as a mentor to Warren, and he's still got some burn left in him as a rotation player.

Yup. I mentioned some pages ago that I'd rather get Butler at a cheaper contract plus less years than keep Tucker around.

Re-post...I didn't see anyone talking about LeBron going to Phx on the General Board, like it wasn't even a consideration. So I decided to start a poll, and see what general fans thought.

I figured we would be at the bottom. But lo and behold, the general fan has us as the leader (unless it's all of you voting). I see Pass Warden did. I haven't yet.

If you see it, please hold off on voting now....lets see what others think. I think it would be interesting to see that others felt Phx was his best bet, and a good sign that we all are not just being homeristic.

Of course then we can all vote an hour or so later if we want and really impact it. But try and let fans of other teams chime in first if you can help yourself.

Edit: Oops, since I posted it, it has changed. We haven't even talked about him joining Kyrie, Wiggins, Thompson, Varejao?

Add to repost: Time to go vote now if you haven't.

If McD gets Lebron-Melo/Bosh in the same room he will close. Another option is KLove if the Suns can give up everything besides Bledsoe/Dragic. There's no way he comes to a non-playoff team in the west without a bonafied star joining him.

off topic but that is a video of a dunking Boris Diaw and a 13-year old Evan Fournier.

No Love....Why give up pieces?

I know u guys want to talk about Lebron coming here but I just wanted to know if L.B will be here next season ?

Doubt it. But the fact that we're even in the conversation already makes it something worthy to discuss.

I see Boozer winding up as a Laker. I think Miami will be keeping Wade and Bosh, so they will underbid for Boozer while Gasol leaves LA, leaving the Lakers more money to spend, and spend they will need to do to keep Kobe from going apesh*t.

Could be smokescreen but they are saying Jamal Crawford is going to be likely traded

no ray ray tonight?

Am I the only one who think the Raptors got a steal for signing Lowry at just $12M?

Is Lowry only $4M/yr better than freaking Avery Bradley?

Lowry deal allows us to set $12M as the highest we'll go for EB since while Bledsoe is younger, he's also way more injury prone than Lowry.

totally agree the Lowry deal was a steal for Toronto when you consider the other contracts guards like Meeks and Bradley just got.

Bledsoe will probably get more based on potential buts it's a good starting point figure I'd be happy with him back around 12 per.

I bet no team bids more than 3-4 million for boozer when he's amnestied. He's just not good anymore.

suspiciously quiet. I'm almost expecting some crazy ish to go down

[Revived]

Paul Pierce to LAC? That looks like a decent team on paper but I'm not sure that Pierce has much more to offer. He will be 37 years old next season. Its so rare to see a 37 year old start and actually make much of an impact.

I'm shocked that Dudley played so bad in Gentry's offense.

Bledsoe should get less or same as Lowry because Lowry is far more proven and more durable.

I think they are all overpaid in general but compared to Bradley and Meeks, I suppose you can look at Lowry's deal as a steal. It's crazy because I thought Conley's a few seasons ago was a total rip but now it's a real steal.

Forget Bradley and Meeks, hell look at what Ben Gordon just got. Remember when he sucked and people thought he couldn't find a job for the vet min?

And what Washington gave to Gortat!
