Mavs have Aaron Brooks, Randy Foye on list of potential PGs, per source. Expect they'll look at Sessions, too. ESPN first w/Kidd to NY.

Yuck.

 

[thekad]

It was out of spite, not business sense. It was a great deal for NO. Better than what the Clippers gave them.

Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, and Austin Rivers or Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, and Lamar Odom

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ken Berger @KBergCBS

Knicks have non-guaranteed contracts they could offer Portland for Felton -- or Dallas for Kidd -- in sign-and trades. Cash, too, of course.

Apparently Knicks are trying to S&T Kidd, if that doesn't work they'll sign him outright.

They better not overpay, it'd be fucking stupid. They have no shot next year, might as well just tank this year.

Uhh

Mavs can't tank with dirk on the roster. You realize this right. Like they tank, he has to be shipped out, because he will single handedly ruin your chance at a top 5 pick.

 

[K.Jack]

If Cuban is really the grandmaster of breaking down tape he claims to be, he shout hate the prospect of signing a tunnel visioned PG like Sessions to anything like these crazy contracts which are flying around.

well you see if stern didnt rig the lottery that would be mkg right thurr

Dirk needs to bail and join the LWO while he still can.

Dat no trade clause.

Although I can't imagine this is how Dirk wants to end his career. Unless he doesn't give a fuck anymore.

That just means that dirk gets to pick where he goes, not the Mavs.

 

[thekad]

I think Dirk retires a Maverick.

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah thats true. It'll be the one time where a superstar demanding a trade to a specific team actually matters.

 

[giri]

I hope he retires a bull.

(that would be pretty awesome spot for him actually)

Jeremy Lin wants more $ than reported $31 million offer from Houston, according to league source. #Knicks facing a hefty match

Looks like he knows hes a total cash cow.

Smart move.

 

[Canuck76]

This offseason is already hilarious and we dont even know whats happening with Dwight yet

It's amazing. People seem to be moving just to move and make deals for literally no reason.

People will look back at the Asik "sweepstakes" and be like "why?"

Maybe, but is he even worth that much as a player?

The other question is, can Houston even offer much more?

What do you mean look back?

we were asking why before hand.

Could the knicks offer a 5 year deal backloaded in years 4 and 5, which are after the amare-carmelo-tyson contracts come off the books (I think)?

 

[LegendofJoe]

(that would be pretty awesome spot for him actually)

Hmm, I like this.

Also Cho better be on the phone peddling DJ to Houston. He played HS ball in Houston and went to Texas, and they desperately need a middling PG that won't take them anywhere. They're the perfect trading partner. Take Patterson or Jones off their hands and call it a day.

They can but won't.

As much as I like Lin as a player there is no way any player is worth something like 40 million after only starting 25 games in his career (not counting what hes potentially worth to a franchise off the court).

Knicks are going to match no matter what. Everybody knows it.

NFI personally, not that invested in the new CBA details. But i don't think NY can.

Houston seem pretty enamored with Patterson, doubt you'll get him.

 

[Adam Blade]

Crawful but not Lee or Allen?

smh Clips smh

He solved a TV deal ffs

His play may not warrant the money, but his financial value to the team and the Asian market is pretty neat.

 

[masud]

Lin just wants the Rockets to make the Knicks pay him more.

 

[darkside31337]

Yeah thats why hes going to get paid. The Knicks really have to keep him especially with all the attention Brooklyn will be getting.

 

[h3ro]

So the Mavs tanked for Jason Kidd?

 

[Adam Blade]

Billolps too?

Meh

 

[Smokey]

Just heard on radio from rockets beat writer the $10 mill reports for dragic are wrong. The deal breaker was the 4th year player option. The rockets don't believe in player options and that was the difference.

 

[darkside31337]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Veteran F Rashard Lewis, bought out by the Hornets after coming in Okafor/Ariza trade from D.C., will visit Miami this weekend, per source.

Fuck. No. Don't do it Rashard

 

[LegendofJoe]

It would have to be Jones then because White doesn't fit that well with our team and Marcus Morris sucks.

... please tell me that's not true.

The dealbreaker for Lin was a 4th year player Option? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Or is that for Dragic?

Patterson would burst my pants

hahahaha just found this chris broussard smackdown by skip bayless on youtube. It's a bit old but maybe others haven't seen it. Skip pretty blatantly just comes out and questions the dude as a journalist, pretty funny.

But seriously ESPN has to be thinking about dropping this guy now, dudes a joke.

I wonder if the Rockets can get their off season moves undone based on proving their whole FO is mentally insane?

I'm talking about dragic pressed submit on phone before I was able to clarify

Derek Fisher, your 2012-13 Dallas Mavericks starting PG.

I can feel it in my bones.

I would cry if that happened......

Seriously Cubes treat Dirk right and just tank please

 

[KingKong]

does anyone actually understand what the Rockets are doing?

 

[masud]

Sportscenter is reporting that the Knicks have given up on Lin because they are gonna sign Kidd. Why do I even watch this shit?

 

[The Frankman]

Is ESPN stupid? They're reporting that the Kidd to Knicks deal means they're "obviously" not going to pursue Jeremy Lin.

... morons. They're the only outlet saying this, why do I ever bother?

 

[Adam Blade]

Crawford, who opted out of the last year of his deal with the Trail Blazers, will receive a multiyear contract. A source told Broussard he will get a four-year deal for between $21 million and $25 million. The Times reported he will get a three-year deal for $15.7 million.

Uh...

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Sportscenter still sucks

Chris Broussard shit on Skip there.

 

[darkside31337]

Uh...

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
When we see the actual contract, the Jamal Crawford deal will be much closer to $15M than $25M in guaranteed money.

Last year is probably totally unguaranteed.
