Goal would be to eliminate Dwight's opt-in and make him a free agent this summer.

smfh... shit is stupid lol

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

He showed off some nice production @ the SF spot for the short time he played for us last season.

When the alternatives at the spot are guys like Salmons, Outlaw, Garcia, and Honeycutt, hell fucking yes he's more than qualified to be a consistent starting guy at the 3 for us.

But if we have to resign him to anything more than a 3-year deal, fuck that.

Oh okay.

God, I want to get rid of Salmons, Cisco, and Outlaw so badly.

 

[ThisWreckage]

smfh... shit is stupid lol

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Do you think I would trade his ass after he cries to the media, slanders the organization, and threatens to sue? I would make his ass rot on the bench before I traded him.

Like I said... send him down to the D-league. Nice slap in the face.

Just 3 more years of all of them... then we have cap space to negotiate more terrible contracts!

 

[Black Mamba]

Any team looking to get him as a rental will be able to give a better deal than whatever the Nets have to offer.

I highly doubt this. Then again, GMs are fucking stupid and/or delusional.

Emotions do not make good decisions.

 

[pilonv1]

Even if Dwight wins some case, it's not going to be heard for weeks. No one will have any cap space left.

And if Nash signs and convinces another FA to join him in Toronto they could be very good.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

I wonder how many of these Dwight rumors are true

Shit probably gets massive amounts of hits

I'm going to agree to disagree. I do NOT agree with NBA front offices being held hostage by players. At all. I never will. It has to end somehow. If that means being petty then so be it. If you trade him to the Nets then you're just showing the other assholes in the league that all it takes is demands, whining, and disloyalty and you can get your way.

 

[Black Mamba]

first few hours of free agency and Asik and Jordan Hill are trending higher than Vince Carter.

lol

And people lose their jobs over this. You're thinking like a fan. Not like someone who works in the front office and whose entire livelihood depends on being smart, not petty.

It's fun to be petty from our couches. IRL, people hurt themselves. Go bankrupt, etc. Emotion does not make smart decisions.

 

[Emwitus]

Cuban should have just paid Tyson. Now the Mavs are close to fucking up Dirk's last good years,

Pretty much. Atleast he got one ring out of it but they had a chance to repeat and now meh.

 

[jbug617]

I highly doubt this. Then again, GMs are fucking stupid and/or delusional.

Did you not see what Houston tried to do for the past week just to rent Dwight.

 

[linsivvi]

smfh... shit is stupid lol

The Magic fired everybody and he's still not happy. Free agency hasn't even started yet, so what does he expect the Magic to do?

Can't believe within a year he managed to become the biggest diva in a league full of divas.

Pretty much. Atleast he got one ring out of it but they had a chance to repeat and now meh.

Yeah, conventional wisdom is that you do not break up a championship core unless key pieces are retiring or at least until they've failed to repeat. Cuban definitely dropped the ball here.

Morey... and he might try it again now

So Dwight's pretty dumb huh

Their offer was shit. Maybe 1 of their picks will be NBA relevant. Please.

[darkside31337]

Faced with the possibility of losing Ray Allen, the Boston Celtics are pursuing Dallas Mavericks free-agent guard Jason Terry, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Celtics are preparing themselves for the possible loss of Allen, and began the process of recruiting Terry after midnight ET Saturday, league sources said.

I know he's won a ring, but talk about a downgrade

 

[darkside31337]

How exactly is he a downgrade? He was better than Ray Allen last season.

 

[Matrix]

"Sick and tired of Dwight Howard's flip-flopping and trade demands? So is Charles Barkley.

"Dwight needs to make a decision because I’m sick of hearing about it every year where he’s going to go and I told him he needs to grow up and make a decision," Barkley said Saturday prior to playing in Dirk Nowitzki's Heroes Celebrity baseball game in Frisco, Texas.

"I don’t want to hear this stuff ever year coming up on the trade deadline. Make a decision and live with it.""

LMAO even sir fatty is hating on him. Howard wants to be the most hated NBA player it seems... nah he's just fucking beyond stupid.

 

[pilonv1]

How exactly is he a downgrade? He was better than Ray Allen last season.

Because he's Jason Terry.

Can't see Crawford being a help in Boston either.

Whatever, dude. They can keep Dwight or trade Dwight to the Nets but they're going to be in the same position no matter what they do. When you allow yourself to be held hostage by a brat then there's no such thing as a smart decision.

Jason Terry punked both LeBron and Wade in Game 6

Ray only looked good against Sasha Vujacic

I'd love to see Terry out of the West... can't stand that Rockets killer. Then again it doesn't matter much anymore when your team is going to suck big time.

 

[pilonv1]

Where's Brandy to back me up when I need him

 

[darkside31337]

Because he's Jason Terry.

He'll be coming off the bench behind Bradley. He's always been comfortable off the bench and he'll be a ton cheaper than a guy like Mayo. Seems like it'd be a good move by Boston.

man gonna be so weird not seeing jet as a mav next year

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
The Boston Celtics are looking for a SG. They have expressed interest in Jamal Crawford, O.J. Mayo, Jason Terry, Nick Young and Sonny Weems.

Sonny Weems was still in the NBA? The fuck?

 

[benjipwns]

Sam Amico: As for Lakers, Ramon Sessions, Kirk Hinrich, Jameer Nelson all said to be on radar. Potentially Jason Terry, too.

Only one has a ring!

Uh oh:

Sam Amico: Raptors SF Sonny Weems said to be drawing interest from Cavs. Weems a restricted free agent.

 

[pilonv1]

Ok if that's the group they're looking at I take it back. Terry is the best choice.

p. sure Money Weems was in Europe last year

 

[ph33nix]

I'm pretty sure Sonny Weems was in Turkey last year

never mind Lithuanian league

Weems spent the 2011-12 season with Zalgiris in the Lithuanian league. He averaged 10.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16 VTB showings and 15.5 points and five rebounds in five Euroleague contests.

When he last appeared in the NBA, Weems set a career high with 9.2 points in 59 games with the Raptors in 2010-11.
