Heat still waiting on Wade and Bosh: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/17501/heat-still-waiting-on-wade-and-bosh
You have a point from the NBA salary cap situation but in a real world business standpoint, ponying up a lot of upfront money is a big deal....
I'm cool with NY just striking out. JJ back to Atl. Gay re-signing in Mem. Amare supposedly "lukewarm" on NY. If the knicks don't land Lebron then...
Err. You mean Drew Gooden who just signed for $32 million: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=188830 Maybe not.
The Darko and Gooden deals aren't that bad. They're both in the $5 million range. Even if Scola gets a better offer than that, I wouldn't expect...
I know. Despite being widely regarded as a bust, Darko has squeezed out $57 million from the NBA and he'll only be 29 at the end of this deal so...
Yes but Gortat ended up signing for the MLE. Morey could have pursued him at that price as well but backed off because he didn't think he was...
Morey is almost convincing me but I wish I could say yes. I think Yao's injury history is the dealbreaker. If he had shown himself to be healthy...
Actually it was Morey who rejected Gortat when the price got too high. It ended up being the smartest move possible because Orlando matched anyway.
You crazy. None of these guys are signing for the minimum. Right before the CBA expires with a potential lockout on the horizon? Absolutely no...
Larry Coon (the NBA salary cap expert) clarified this point: http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-freeagency-100629/cap-room-summary
All you need to know about what kind of players we would give up, is that a framework is already in place for a sign and trade between Tor and...
This isn't going to happen. All the recent rumors point away from a Miami three-max team. And consider this bit of info from Larry Coon, the...
Nice. But what's a "Knockdown". Must be some geek stat.
That's a good point because according to the story Tor and the Hou have already laid-out the framework for a potential sign and trade deal. So if...
You don't match salaries based on average salary over the life of the contract. You have to match salaries based on the first year's salary. The...
Really. I thought that was one of our actual advantages over the other FA destination options. Houston is actually making Bosh the #1 priority...
This is probably the most important line from this story. The reins are off Morey, do whatever it takes.
With the amount of shady stuff going on (free agent conferences, Tor/Mia supposedly already negotiated a sign and trade, Lebron being personal...
I'll laugh at whoever gives Miller more than the MLE. Make it so, New York.
