Around the NBA Thread II

[JCM]

I figure ill make a new one since the old one has well over 1000 posts and has old posts going back to the free agency during the summer.

I will start off.

I'm told Murphy is down to two teams: Boston and Miami. Portland expressed interest, too, but also told it's near lock Murphy is going East

RT @timkawakami: NBA source: Warriors and Troy Murphy have reached agreement on a buy-out. Still confirming the details. Finalized tomorrow

I'm actually surprised that the Magic aren't going after him too.

 

[JCM]

yeah. i think he will go to the C's after they lost Kendrick Perkins.

 

[pinkizdead]

but, why? He's not a center. I thought the perkins move was to get more perimeter help, play small ball, and let davis/shaq play center. Why would they want murphy?

the magic makes sooooo much sense that it's scary.

mike bibby released according to chris broussard. prefers miami.

 

[waldo7239117]

Yep Bibby reached a buyout with the Wiz. He will earn money this year in a buyout but he gave up his contract for next year. All to play with a contender. Now that's someone who cares to win over money.

 

[pinkizdead]

If mike bibby really wanted to help a team win, he'd retire.

 

[Anytime23]

Both of these guys Need to stay away from miami

 

[Crystallas]

If mike bibby really wanted to help a team win, he'd retire.

LOL.

The Heat need all the waived players the can handle!

This just in: Delonte West signs with Miami, LeBron's mom starts to show up for practices!

Yes, Delonte jokes never get old.

Tony Parker out for 2-4 weeks.

The San Antonio Spurs today announced that guard Tony Parker has been diagnosed with a strained left soleus after undergoing a MRI earlier today. He is expected to miss two to four weeks. He will not accompany the team on this week’s road trip to Memphis and Cleveland in order to begin his rehabilitation program in San Antonio.

Troy Murghy picks Boston over Heat.

 

[pinkizdead]

huzzah! boston just got a guy they REALLY don't need.

 

[waldo7239117]

Prolly just so the Heat don't get him. That's what I would do, lol.

Also, there were some reports saying he picked the Heat but... agent recieved texts saying "did Heat sign Murghy" and he said yes on accident. Meant to say yes to Boston. But he straightened it.

 

[pinkizdead]

he could have actually helped miami a lot. He lessens the load for wade and bron in terms of 3pt shooting. He's also a ridiculously good rebounder. Good signing for boston.

He would have looked good in nyc. They always could use more rebounders and shooters.

Corey Brewer will be released this March 1 as well by New York

 

[Chi-Town Brahma]

Troy Murphy is a solid pick-up for the Celtics. He should fit in on that team fine.


We are still hearing buzz of Rasual Butler, Corey Brewer & Kaleena Azubuike.

 

[JCM]

i knew all along he was going to the C's. good pick up for them.

corey brewer has narrowed down his options to boston, san antonio and dallas, according to a league source.

Sooo....looks like we are now only gonna be seeing Butler at this point.

Apparently the Bulls were offered C. Brewer before the deadline and declined, and also showed no interest in him when he was in minny.

Also - Butler has been a bff of Melo since high school.
