He's gonna suck

JR is close to re-signing for 4 yrs/24 million with the Knicks. Not sure how they still have any room to sign. 2 max players and then Bargyani and Tyson both have fat contracts.

Early Bird Rights. You only need to be with a team for 2 years. Full Bird Rights is 3 Years.

Interesting, Tyreke Evans told Pelicans at meeting that he would be more than happy to be the 6th man for the team if necessary. Gordon now apparently wants to stay with Pelicans because Jrue and Tyreke are some childhood friends from his AAU days. Still pretty likely Gordon gets moved, but not as imminent as I thought it would be.

Imo if the Pelicans move Gordon it's to gain more depth because right now they've got nothing coming off the bench. Aminu, Rivers, and Jason Smith or something like that. Interesting to see that Tyreke is willing to go 6th man though...but perhaps it's because he knows he'll get huge minutes anyway.

I think the Pelicans may look at starting Jrue, Gordon, and Evans at the 1/2/3. They would be small, but it probably puts their most talented players on the court. If they don't start like that they will Probably finish like that.

And suddenly all the Jazz's drafting of big men makes sense.

I heard that Tyreke wouldn't sign with a team that would play him at the 3.

Well the deal is basically set anyway so either he lied or he'll be the "6th man" (I bet he plays the 3 anyway)

And I guess an Eric Gordon trade is always possible

Can't find the article with the quote from him, really need to start saving them I bet Eric Gordon will get moved at some point. It really pains me to watch Tyreke Evans waste away. The man can play PG and make things happen ity: executives wasting his talent

Lakers gonna amnesty Metta according to a few Twitter posts.

KEVIN DING ‏@KevinDing1h
Sweet a guy as he is, @MettaWorldPeace will be waived via amnesty by Lakers to save about $30 million, barring some late change.

And the Lakers apparently also signed Chris Kaman.

Wish we could've had the money to sign Kaman...he'd be a great backup for Noah.

mavs fans are trashing kaveman...he sucks

He was actually more healthy, but that's not saying much

 

[clonetrooper264]

Some "Bulls fans" are also trashing DRose...guess he sucks too.

Same goes for Boozer.

 

[Axl Rose]

those fans dont really mean what they say about drose

and boozer gets trashed cause of how much he makes....knock off a few million and ppl wouldn't be so harsh on him

straight from a mavs fan

Any Laker fan that's excited about this... don't be. Kaman seems like a pretty decent player if you don't watch him consistantly and just look at his numbers... but he's terrible. His defense is horendous, he has awful hands, he makes no effort to rebound the basketball, and he's ugly. Not to mention that he's also old and very injury prone. The only reason he had that 1 good season with the Clips was because they had no other good players at the time. I watched every Mavs game this past season and trust me... he's complete garbage.

One bad season with a bad fit doesn't really mean he's trash.
