    July 1st is the first day you can talk to free agents about potentially signing them.

    July 10th is the first day you can officially sign them.

    I think he mean't the #12 he's talking about is DH, not Lamarcus Aldridge.

    You mean you are annoyed by the fact that people get enthused over the prospect of getting bits of information?

    I don't get this whole mentality. I really dont. Assume for a second that there are indeed some legit insiders here. Would you rather they didn't post at all?

    How, in your opinion, should someone like Cyberx handle their posts differently so that you are not offended?

    Look, you are free to be skeptical. That's perfectly cool. But you are either bashing members who claim to be sharing information, or you are bashing members who choose to enjoy the prospect that the information might just be legit. Neither of those things are cool.

    Now ball's in LAL's court. This coming out seems like Dwight is absolutely pressuring them for a new coach, like Phil Jackson. I hope Lakers don't give in :p If they do, I think he's almost fully committed to them like CP3 w/ LAC. This coming out now is 'interesting' timing, sigh* and not great for us unless Young Buss remains his stubborn self.

    i believe there FAs can agree in principle for a deal to be signed July 10th on July 1st -- while I have no idea what goes into "agree in principle" I am sure its more than just a verbal agreement on a deal. The agent probably signs something else committing the player to sign with the team on July 10th.

    Well, once Dirk leaves, which would be soon.

    For Max free agents its plausible. Once they make up their minds the money is the doesn't change. For other guys its different. Carlos Boozer agreed and then Utah upped their offer and he left Cavs high and dry.

    If he wants to be "the man" on a terrible team, he can do that in LA now that Kobe's career is over.

    Dirk said he'd take a paycut in 2014, not retire.

    In a world where "that chucker" lands you Dwight Howard.

    Getting Dwight Howard isn't worth taking on a high paid chucker like Josh Smith, if being on the best possible team making the most possible money isn't enough for Dwight Howard, he doesn't deserve the opportunity to play in Houston.

    All this talk about Dallas...

    I think Brousarrds inside info, may come from agents.

    Cuban and Fegan are really good friends, So Fegan had to throw Dallas name in the mix.

    And Broussard is just running with it.

    Nobody knows, but Rockets have to feel good.

    Why in the world would Dwight go to Dallas to be paired up w/ an aging Dirk? And pretty much no supporting cast? That makes NO sense to me.
