"Does Morey match? "

Match what? Morey and the Rockets let him go

Well done Suns. I would have payed Dragic this instead of Lin.

He basically took the same offer from the Rockets, just a little bit more. An extra 0.5 mil = overpaying? I guess in the Rockets eyes and I feel the Knicks will match the offer the Rockets gave to Lin. Now what master plan does Morey have up his sleeve... another PF I'm sure.





fuck you Morey.

Of course, Royce White to start at point and play nothing but zone.

forgot all about denver

andre and ty are both better

That's without even thinking much.

Hell no @ the bold.

So I guess we'll settle on Top 15 for now.

Just going by the numbers when he started for Houston last season:

That's deserving of the contract Phoenix just gave him, all things considered.

 

[Matrix]

Trade Lowry, Scola, Kshit, don't even think of resigning Camby now, Fire Morey and FUCKING TANK finally.

Also get some new damn uniforms, fucking ugliest in the league.

 

[Blackace]

He didn't say he played like ass, the comments aren't near that harsh, that's what the media WANTS them to be so they can blow it up into a big thing but it's not the case.

And like Kobe knew the Shaq comment would get out in public, how can you blame him for that. Dude was probably freaking the fuck out and blurting out whatever came on in his mind

HE TOLD THE COPS... lol

 

[Blackace]

Jrue Holiday blows

fair enough

 

[squicken]

It's the only way to successfully insert yourself in trade rumors for superstar players who don't want to play for you.

Well with a long enough time horizon eventually someone will want to come here. Just gotta keep treading water

 

[Mothman91]

Speaking of PGs, Wall better be in the gym, shooting those jumpshots. If he doesn't improve it this year....I think I'm going to start the "trade Wall train".

 

[pilonv1]

You don't like Holiday but are ok with Jennings?

GTFO, but I'll give you the rest.

Jose isn't worth his contract, but he's the closest thing the league has to Nash Lite

 

[giri]

I don't like predicting injuries, but what are the chances Nash walks out of Phoenix and his knees turn into dust?

Should be more worried about his back than his knee's.

kyrie, lowry, conley, and curry, are all entirely debatable on that list. And calderon isn't better.

goran @ 4/34 isn't that bad really. hope it's true.

Jennings is more talented so I gave you that one.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Houston's multi-year offer to Jeremy Lin includes back-loaded money designed to hit the Knicks hard on luxury tax, source tells Y!

This is going to be one for the ages.

 

[cacophony]

@WojYahooNBA: Houston's multi-year offer to Jeremy Lin includes back-loaded money designed to hit the Knicks hard on luxury tax, source tells Y!

@WojYahooNBA: Source close to Lin says that point guard will mull Houston's offer sheet over, and make decision on whether to sign or keep shopping.

.

 

[Matrix]

"$8.5M average salary. High but not that high. All that marketing push to keep Goran here in Houston and you lose him over that salary. If the Rockets' offer to Lin approaches that average, I really don't know what to say."

Clutch seems confused... you know it's bad when even he's at a loss for words

 

[diehard]

Andre Millers 3 years 9 million is still the bargain of the off-season so far

 

[Emwitus]

Absolutely, they need to get blake the hell out, him and Barnes have been poison for this team from the day they put the jerseys on.

So true. LoL. I was playing 2k11 the other day and barnes can't finish anything at the rim...seriously. They really nailed that down LOL

 

[cacophony]

 

[Canuck76]

Really a shame Nash won't be around for Dragic to emulate and learn from. Dude's already good i think he could have grown even more though in PHX.

Glad PHX got him back, sounds like Gordon really wants to be there too but NOH will keep him in house.

 

[SamuraiX-]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Kevin McHale desperately wanted Dragic back next year. Rockets players did, too. But they will try to get Lin. Knicks insist they'll match.

Morey's... got a... plan?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

so if Lin takes Houston's offer and the Knicks can't match, do they have to throw the entire MLE at Kidd? LOL if so.

 

[giri]

truth.

 

[GremlinFool]

I would definitely take Dragic over Mike Conley, come on.

 

[Matrix]

"Chandler Parson tweets : smh"

LOL fuck

 

[pilonv1]

so if Lin takes Houston's offer and the Knicks can't match, do they have to throw the entire MLE at Kidd? LOL if so.

Yes. But if they do match they lose their MLE.

Simmons is loco

Bill Simmons ‏@sportsguy33

Really like Goran Dragic. 4 yrs 34m is a great price. Happy for @JaredDudley619 - now we don't have to worry about the 2013 Suns going 5-77.

But then he thought 4yrs/48mil was good value for Afflalo last year

Interesting thought though is... hopefully we can ship a deal for gordon. we got laker picks to spare!

2k12's completely nonsensical trade/free agent signings could have done better than Morey

2k12's completely nonsensical trade/free agent signings could have done better than Morey

wasn't morey the one that used 2k to analyse potential players?

Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
Doesn't look like there will be a deal w Lin, either. Rockets did make offer tonight. Like Gordon, Dragic, he'll leave town w/out taking it.

lol

 

[DY_nasty]

I would definitely take Dragic over Mike Conley, come on.

Conley is consistent. He isn't asked to score like Dragic is because of the guys on his team, but he's a damned good point - and he's improved steadily throughout his career as well. People don't watch Memphis games though.

so if Lin takes Houston's offer and the Knicks can't match, do they have to throw the entire MLE at Kidd? LOL if so.

I'm sure they could land Jeff McInnis

Wow you have destroyed your team Morey... well done!

God damn Kad, I hope you don't defend this shit anymore. Where is all the money going to as of now... fucking Asik.

We now have one pg who doesnt even want to play on our team.

 

[AgentChris]

I hope Lin doesn't accept that back loaded contract. Our salary cap is gonna get more than fucked.

i watched more memphis games than you last year, and you're wrong about him being better than goran. But he's certainly a good PG.

 

[Dominican Power]

HELL NO!!!!

Kidd is playing for the vets minimum.

Bro, Conley had his best year this year. Dragic is way more dynamic than him. The only thing that Conley has over him is defense.

 

[The Frankman]

I'm waiting to see how thekad spins this.

 

[pilonv1]

Morey has priors in this area though

 

[SamuraiX-]

rofl @ Terrence Jones

Pitiful.

 

[Mxrz]

Magical fantasy land where Dwight agreed to stay.
- Trade Anderson for Smith, let the Hawks trade him for whatever.
- Take it easy this year, let Dwight rehab.
- Buy out Hedo, go hard for Paul. Get Dwight and Smith to recruit.
- Paul, ???/Redick/JRich, Smith, Davis, Dwight 2013-14?

Stupid reality not living up to expectations.

 

[Branduil]

I shouldn't find this as funny as I do.

 

[squicken]

As has been mentioned, it's stupid to pay big money to PGs when there are about 15 non-elite guys who are interchangeable. Also, if you didn't notice, they just drafted 3 point-forwards
