the NBA is fake.

Toronto would bench Turkoglu before they took Carter back. Nice sig BTW.
I think Hedo will go to Sacramento.

Thanks. I'm not so sure about the Raps benching Turk before taking Vince back. I know that Vince basically quit on the Raptors, essentially forcing there hand, but he is essentially an expirer, and they would be able to get out from Turk's bad contract. I love this time of year, all this wheelin and dealin. Milwaukee swung a few trades that netted them Corey Maggette and Chris Douglas Roberts for Dan Gadzuric, Charlie Bell, and a 2nd rounder. If they buy into Skiles philosophy and play some defense, I really like the trades. John Hammond has done a great job since joining the Bucks. Oh yea, and then we have the draft tonight. Gunna be a good day. :nanner:
**EDIT**
I have to check the signature box every time I post? What a horrible system.
there is a lot of talk here about who peole want on their team..as far as FA's but what big name Free agents do you see realistically see moving?...and where to?...and do you think Dirk is really gone from dallas?...Theres talk of D-wade staying in Miami ..Lebron staying in Cleveland etc etc...is this free agency going to be all hype or do you think the big name players are really on the move?
Miami has shipped Daquean Cook and their 18th overall pick to Oklahoma for OKC's 2nd rounder.
Wait what?? Miami got rid of a player, and a 1st round pick for a 2nd round pick just to get rid of Cooks $2.1 million contract?
Miami now has $30 million in cap space.
Is anybody else that desperate for a superstar?
This just in. The Bulls have traded Kirk Heinrich and their 17th overall pick to Washington for Washington's 30th overall pick. The Bulls also have $30 million in cap space now.
This is pathetic. All of these teams except 1 are going to look like fools come July 1st.

Are the Wolves the worst franchise in the history of the NBA? They have to be right there with the Clippers. If nothing else they are the least lucky in the history of the league. Ever since they had all the lotto balls Shaq's rookie year and that prissy ass Magic squad got him. :tongue:

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
I don't pay attention to my Pistons much anymore since Joe D traded Chauncey Billups, but I was partially watching the draft cuz the Pistons were talking about drafting Demarcus Cousins and I wanted him in a Pistons Uniform like a Hard on!!!
But the fuckin Sac. Kings took him 5th, although the draft experts are saying the guy the Pistons selected Greg Monroe was/is the best BigMan available in this years draft! :dunno: I hope they are right, but Demarcus Cousins looks like he's gonna be a Fuckin Monster!!

i think the Warriors are well on their way to another crappy season.Ekpe Udoh was a one year wonder and Don Nelson won't make him better so if i where him sign a 3 year deal with no options and flee the Warriors as fast as possible. they will soon be as big as joke as the clippers

I kinda would like to see what LeBron could do in New Jersey. They have MUCH better potential than the Knicks. Actually so do the Clippers. But anyway, with Lopez, Harris, and Lee, and Favors, they can be real, real good in a couple of years. I would actually say that New Jersey's cupboard is almost as full as Chicago's. Miami, outside of the 2 or 3 guys they'll sign, don't have shit. They'll have a bunch of bums. Plus, New Jersey has the best coach of all these teams mentioned.
Lebron is leaning towards the Bulls.
Joe Johnson gonna be a Hawk again. Good for them, it's nice seeing Atlanta in the playoffs.
Ideally, I would love to see Lebron go to NJ with Boozer. Lopez, Boozer, James, Lee and Harris would be an awesome 5. Favors coming off the bench learning from Booz and James...
I would like Bosh to go to Chi town. Rose, Noah, Bosh, Deng and maybe a Pierce or an Allen would make Chicago a top contender as well.
All in all I hope for some nice even teams. I would love to have twelve - fifteen good teams than five awesome ones.
OKC needs a big, I hope they get Amare. Amare with Durant and Westbrooke is all kinds of scary.

It's crazy that Joe Johnson got a max deal. Apparently ATL front office forgot Johnson averaged 12 points in the playoffs last year. If Bogut was healthy, Atlanta wouldn't have made it out of the first round.
Speaking of Milwaukee, I'd like to see them strengthen up a bit. They're a good team with a good tradition, and I hope they build on last years success.
Phil Jackson is returning to L.A. Hello 3-peat!
Where did you read that Chris Paul demanded a trade? I've been looking all around to find this story but can't find it.
The Hawks are a joke for giving Joe Johnson that contract. A six year deal worth nearly 20 million a year for a player for a guy who averaged 12 points during the playoffs. A 120 million dollar contract for a guy who is 29 and will be entering his down years is ridiculous.

Link? I haven't heard that anywhere.
As for Milwaukee, we have traded for Corey Maggette and Chris Douglas Roberts, and signed Drew Gooden for 5 years, 32 million. John Salmons is also coming back on a 5 year, 39 million dollar deal. I've always hated Gooden, so I now have the pleasure of watching him every game this year.
As for Gooden's and Salmons' contracts, the 4th and 5th years are team options, which is great. Try them out for 2 years, if it doesn't work out, they are essentially expiring contracts. If they do work out the first 2-3 years, the team options will give them an incentive to keep up there high level of play. Great deals by John Hammond.
