Weaver just creamed. Still an outside shot to add another big man!

Hes going to the Rockets who're about to blow it up. They already said their trading Harden and trying to move Westbrook. Obv we would of had to pay him more but if you offer a few million more per year to a guy whos never been paid he stays.

Maybe we could trade the Rockets Blake, D-Rose and Stewart for Wood and Westbrook. Lol

There is absolutely no justification for this whatsoever. Anything other than Christian saying "I'm not staying in Detroit, I don't care how much you pay me" makes a lick of sense about this. And I really don't understand why he'd think that considering he wasn't clinging on the league by a thread until he came here.

Yea, this makes the most sense, add on to the Stewart, Ariza trade, which is why it hasnt been announced

Looks like that may not be happening.

Shams says he’s still looking.

Yeah I was gonna say that contract is criminally low. He was considered one of the best free agents.

He's a great missing piece for a lot of playoff teams. It would hurt to finally luck into some gold and then lose him for nothing. I'd be trying like heck to sign him even if it meant trading him in the next 6 months.

Do you honestly think he would sign in Detroit for that cheap?
Nobody wants to play here and I can't blame them. Can't really fault Weaver for this one.
Anyway, it's not finalized yet apparently.

Beard keeps dropping hints all over line he knows something too.

Go to Rod Beard’s Twitter. He knows something we don’t.

He wouldn’t be posting like that if he didn’t have anything. Something is going on.

Or part of a bigger deal with Rockets and Knicks... I can see Knicks pulling the trigger on a Griffin/Westbrook duo

And if it’s a minor deal - can’t see them going to this length. **** is about to get crazy I think.

For sure. He's pretty connected so something to keep an eye on.
It's obvious that Weaver isn't done yet, can pretty much take that to the bank.
