Ariza for the right price will go back to Washington in a heart beat and he has a ring already

Gasol has rings too but wants to continually win, but wants money too

And I knew PG wasn't a priority mang... Ethan just said so, but so many ppl here was convinced Riley was going after him lol


I like Gasol, but I feel like he hasn't really been trying the last couple of years. I know a lot of it has to do with D'Antoni, but do you guys really feel like he'd make a huge difference in Miami?



Despite all of Gasols struggles and dantoni not even wanting him on the floor and making him shoot 3s... He still average 9 rebounds and had one of his best rebounding seasons per 36. He was a 17/9 guy and a person like that in our front court with the big 3 would be great. Not the same defensively but he would help rebounding big time


Gasol fits but Ariza fits even more, but it will be tough



if we got Ariza, i'd be shocked out my mind. I live in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia area), i KNOW the wizards love this guy and will pay him. They have committed to the team they want and will likely outbid us, he's about his money too. ALot of these young guys won't help us out. Get Marion or Vince - Marion is better defensively but at least Vince tries. Vince is a better creator but he likes to jack shots, however he will help to take the scoring pressure off Lebron especially when Wade is struggling.

I hope Riley gets a chance for some In N Out while there.

I know D-Wade's knees are bad, but that doesn't excuse tripping and falling into this girl's vagina.

From bulls board, a recap of a news report

- thinks big 3 trying to for leverage heat front office Once it was clear that the heat were missing on their top targets (gortat lowery) lebron wade and bosh wanted to keep pressure on heat office They will all go back to miami and are still working out their salary No question that they are in agreement to come back So see what they will do

- Have to understand Players union is playing a part in this How does it look if the best player in the game is not making the most money Then do you give owners leverage when other players try to get paid and owners can come back and say well lebron is not getting the max so why should I give you the max lebron is attuned to those issues especially since 2011 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1332100&start=1320



To me that sounds more reasonable than the LeBron demanding a max because he's mad at Arison report.

Pacers trying to sign and trade for Rondo? Once again they don't have much played in value unless they give up picks and most of their roster

Ainge likes those 1st round picks

Would be fine with Gasol/Hawes/Blatche + Morrow & Aminu

Or Blatche + Ariza & Aminu (We can obviously only afford 1 of Ariza, Gasol, Hawes.... at best.... maybe)

Aminu is a great defender and a very good rebounder for his size. Can't shoot worth a **** though.

Lebron is all about the players so it's possible.

The last 2 teams standing in the finals, all the star players were discounted. This resonated with me when lebatard said that


That's what it takes to win these days, and it's about to be destroyed by greed and the market... For us anyway

i like Gasol but is he really considering the Thunder and Spurs over us, who can barely pay him and are in the wild wild west.

Mind you we play in the EAST where we dominate - Im going to guess Riley didn't particularly act like he was in love with Pau and really didn't have much to offer Pau since he's so focused on Deng and Ariza smh

PG - Hinrich/Mo Williams/S. Blake

SG/SF - Ariza/Deng/Wesley Johnson/Aminu

PF/C - Boozer/Gasol/Hill/Udoh

Take one from each category (perhaps a 2nd out of the wing or post categories) and call it an offseason. Of the players listed, 5 of them are in L.A. where Riley is visiting.

PG - Hinrich, Cole, Napier
SG - Wade, Allen, Wesley Johnson
SF- James, Ariza, Ennis
PF- Boozer, Haslem
C - Bosh, Birdman, Hamilton

I think the wing will come of the bench but play more minutes than Wade this season, eventually starting over him in the 2015 season with Wade assuming a Ginobili role.

I have a feeling Riley is going to hit a Home Run or two once he arrives in LA... Something big is happening so wait on it... Also no one notices how Melo is in LA! The Don maybe has a secret meeting?

Hope Gasol goes to OKC he wouldn't be a threat for us as if he signs with the Spurs

Melo has a scheduled meeting with the Lakers and Kobe. It's all over ESPN lol. Kobe flying in from Brazil or something to pitch Melo.

I don't want Melo with the Spurs or Thunder. He makes both teams a lot better. I rather have him stay in LA or go to NY if he ain't coming here.
