Wait, are the Raptors really going to offer Nash $12M/yr? What the fuck? I thought we were tanking to pick up talent, WHY ARE WE WASTING A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON A 38 YEAR OLD?
I've been really caught up with Soccer fever so I haven't been following this off-season much at all. Can someone tell me if Terrence Ross is a good prospect? Everybody seems to be bitching at BC for picking this guy. Oh god Valanciunas and this Ross kid better work out for us...

i dont know.
red blaster, how do you feel about pau, jordan hill and glock for dwight.
i'd ride that horse in a heartbeat.
This. And since Orlando management knows that Dwight doesn't want to go to LA, they'll likely ship his ass out there just for spite if they can get a trade. Question is why would the Lakers do the Bynum/Howard trade and risk losing Bynum for one season of Howard? Man I love NBA free agency

This is just the latest in a string of events that have caused many within the Magic organization to grow tired of Howard. Several of Howard’s teammates are hoping for his departure as well. Toward the end of last season, Howard came close to a physical altercation with teammate Jameer Nelson at the Magic’s practice facility. Howard was sidelined with a back injury at the time, but nearly came to blows with Nelson for unknown reasons, according to sources. The two players had to be separated.
Jameer would have whooped his ass.

League on notice.
Enough already. We don't care that much about a rookie that hasn't played a minute in the NBA yet.

Because it'll be cool. Stop being anti-Canadian on Canada Day. Our tanking to pick up talent sucked anyway.
He's probably going to be a really, really solid backup shooting guard. The kind of 7th or 8th man every 6th seed needs.

Dwight won't be in LA w/o a guaranteed extension. He'll end up in Houston if the Nets don't get him.
Besides, no Bynum means he'd be option 1a. It should just be one, but Kobe runs shit and COTY Mike Brown is spineless.
Odom back with the Clippers? lol

Hey guys, what's the best place to track all the FA updates in one spot?

Best-gaf.
NBA TV can't even be bothered to cover free agency itself, while the NHL Network is wall-to-wall coverage.

I'm definitely keeping this thread up regardless, but it'd be convenient to have a place that gets right to the point without forum posts in-between.
if all he does is make 2 threes a game im ok with it

Why are hot chick threads banned but hot Pokemon threads are okay?

OMG
Is Dwight really fake snitching on his Dad to his Mom?
Send his ass to LA already Orlando. Straight up center swap, no guarantee of more than one season and fresh off of back surgery, get on those knees for Mitch.
A mod is a top poster in that thread.

They will when it gets closer to completion. They were pretty harsh during the trade deadline, too.
Fuck off, Dwight...
Well, Ross can stroke a 3, rebound and defend, so at a minimum, he'll better than DeRozan's inefficient ass. Also, just watch and imagine those feeds from Nash.

I've always refused to get Twitter but I've been considering it more and more exclusively for sports. I keep a Cardinals beat writer's twitter open on my phone at all times and it's shown me how awesome it can be for sports news. Just wanted to block out all the narcissistic douches on there, FB is bad enough. Can you make it so that you cannot be found by others on Twitter?

Straight up.
The grief was coming one way or another. Should've just traded him last year.
Coercion? Blackmail? C'mon Son.

http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/sto...anta-hawks-talk-joe-johnson-trade-sources-say
The Brooklyn Nets and Hawks are engaged in ongoing talks on a multiplayer deal that would send several expiring contracts to the Atlanta for All-Star guard Joe Johnson, according to sources briefed on the discussions.
But sources told ESPN.com that the Nets fear that they'll be surrendering too much financial flexibility in the trade as currently structured, which has placed the deal in jeopardy.
Another big stumbling block, sources said, is Atlanta's insistence that Brooklyn include promising Nets guard MarShon Brooks in the trade.
Sources say that the Nets, furthermore, will only go ahead with this trade if they know that Deron Williams -- this summer's No. 1 free agent -- has verbally committed to re-signing with Brooklyn.
The most recent proposal, sources said, would call for the Nets to send the expiring contracts of Jordan Farmar, Johan Petro, Anthony Morrow and Jordan Williams to the Hawks in exchange for Johnson.
Sources say that the Nets, though, would prefer to complete a deal with the Hawks by including at least one of their free agents via sign-and-trade -- most likely Gerald Green -- and by hanging onto to one or two of the aforementioned expiring contracts.
If the Nets can convince the Hawks to take on Green or perhaps Kris Humphries in a sign-and-trade, it would allow them to stay over the salary cap and keep their mid-level exception to sign an additional free agent. Sources say that the Nets have serious interest in Bosnian free-agent forward Mirza Teletovic to add additional frontcourt depth.

It'd be nice If he can receive Jason Richardson-esque treatment from Nash. Still disappointed with our future outlook, though...

He was before he had shoulder surgery. 2nd half of the 10-11 season, he led the NBA in 3 pointers made. Don't blame him, blame the Knicks for thinking he was PG.
God I hope so.
Billy King must be the only GM in the league that believes Joe Johnson is worth trading for.

Ok, I created a twitter account and have added my teams and the primary beat writers. Who are the names I should be adding for NBA? I have Adam Schefter and Mike Jurecki for NFL news but no idea who the top guys for NBA are.
