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

[BadMofoPimp]

a guy who id offer a contract to would Be chris anderson. he would be a Fan Favorite with his Heart and Hustle something that we love over here. if we can get him for the MIN or close to it we should because hes had to battle and Overcome his Problems to get back in the NBA and would be a good mentor for the young bigs on our team to look up to.

For some reason, I don't think of Heart and Hustle with the current Chris Anderson. He has slowed down tremendously the past two seasons. I think his body doesn't hold up anymore. He hardly played at all last season. But, for the league minimum, I would take a flyer.

What happened with Andersen and the child porn?

I mean, he could be in jail for a loooong time. Unless that was cleared up and I didn't know it.

Magic-For What the Magic want they need multiple teams involved, this gives them Youth, Picks, and Cap room

Lakers-Giving up Bynum and Gasol might be a lot but truth is Gasol does not have much value and has a pretty bad contract. Looking at their lineup this gives them the best player in this whole trade and makes the well rounded.

Wolves-Gasol makes the Wolves a playoff team, giving up Williams who they don’t have faith in; Ridnour who is there 3Rd PG and a 1st is a small price to pay.

Rockets-The Rockets while giving up a few assets they would rather hold onto (Lamb, Tor pick) pay a small price. Getting to Keep DMO, White and not having to absorb any real bad contracts.

[bigmoe1952]

It has been reported that the Rockets would trade for Howard even though he may not re-sign with them. Has anyone heard if Houston would be willing to do that same in a 3 way trade in which they received Bynum without his assurance he would re-sign with them?

If true, it sounds like they are telling Henny to sh*t or get off the pot. Or trying to pressure him.

[MitchellUK]

OrlandoMajunBuu,

Do you watch any basketball outside of the Magic? I would friggin LOVE Pekovic on our team, and I'd definitely take him over Williams at this stage in their careers. Maybe one day Williams manages to establish himself as a PF or SF, but right now he's neither one thing nor the other and he's going to struggle because of it.

I dont think they Sign off on Pekovic man, as for DWill, ppl have to give him a chance, he is still only 21. Dwill has alot of energy and put up decent numbers as a rookie. He would be great on a young heart and hustle type team and become a future asset down the road.

from the story i read stupid Girl who he didnt wanna date anymore got pissed and put child porn on his computer

I don't think that's quite it - apparently he was sending some explicit messages back and forth with a girl who claimed to be (and supposedly looked to be) of legal age, but wasn't. She and her parents tried to extort money out of him over it (he alleged), and when he wouldn't they called the police.

Anyway, think I read something the other day that said he wouldn't be charged.

[Grady1train]

I don't think the Timberwolves would be willing to part with Pekovic, the guy was an absolute stud for them last year and I think they want to run him and Love in their front court. Also, didn't they just get rid of Brad Miller and amnesty Milicic leaving them with almost no big men other than Love? I've heard the rumblings that they are moving in on Jordan Hill and Stiemsma, but with as good as Pekovic was last year I don't see them moving him unless they get really good return for him.

http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/20 ... n_case.php

Lawyer Colin Bresee, who spoke with us back in August 2011 about THC driving limits, provided a statement to the Denver Post. In it, he asserted that beginning in 2010, Andersen had received numerous letters, some featuring racy photos, from a female fan claiming to be 21 years old. The following year, she flew to Colorado, "showing her required identification," according to the statement. When she left, she allegedly was upset by Andersen's lack of interest in her, and by 2012, "she threatened to retaliate if he did not provide financial remuneration" -- bounty represented by someone claiming to be her mother as items on her Amazon and Victoria's Secret wish lists plus $5,000 in cash, the statement asserts.

exactly. Pekovic might not be an all star but im sure some team will make a Sign and Trade with us involving him next year as he is an RFA.
