CJ is gone

Even though we've known for a couple years that Hinrich would likely be back the minute he hit free agency, I'm still disappointed.

One big reason the Bulls did so well this past season is not just because of their good players. It's because they had no bad players. Nobody under 12 PER last year (and only Brewer and Butler were under 13). Hinrich, on the other hand, has had a sub-10 PER since joining the Hawks.

Not that PER is the be-all, end-all. But a 9.2 is not good.

Ah, well. At least my dad will be happy, because Kirk is a tough hustler who plays the game the right way.

Kirk is a tough hustler who plays the game the right way.

 

[darkside31337]

Don't let darkside see this! It will shatter his world

I like his game a lot but its a stupid comparison to begin with. Ryno was the much better jump shooter, Ilyasova was better inside. I don't really see why it was brought up in the first place anyway.

 

[linsivvi]

KG's hate was/is for the organization, not the fanbase. Our owner basically said that Garnett was mailing it in his last season here. Which is BS. To Garnett, who is a very loyal person, this was a betrayal.

He has shown much more douchiness in BOS but the Timberwolves hate is not a good example of it.

Yeah can you imagine somebody playing for McHale in 2012 and keep quiet for so many years?

Lowry can't even stand that guy for a season.

 

[Tom Penny]

Something wrong with the world when Jeff Green is getting 9 per and Stiemsma is getting 3 million.

Jason Jones ‏@mr_jasonjones
#NBAKings are close to an agreement on a new contract with PF Jason Thompson according to a source.

THANK DA LAWD!

I just hope he's not demanding Ilyasova money. Wtf is wrong with the GMs in this league.

Guys liked playing for him when he coached the Wolves.

Everybody but Rashad McCants, I think.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Did this ever happen? All of those players gave there all before joining celts. Nearly all were in there late prime.

and KG was on record after saying he realized after joining the Big 3 in Boston that he should have done it sooner. Should LeBron have spent another 5 years in Cleveland rotting for that shit franchise before going to Miami?

 

[Mrbob]

Wrap it up, lets start the party now, Captain Kirk is back! Bulls are now finally ready to make it to the NBA Finals! With one move, Garpax has now elevated to GM greatness. Hope the team is done, because there are no other needs now.

Has a player ever gotten $9 million a year for several years before despite not showing any ability to do anything well on a basketball court? What a terrible contract for Green.

 

[Branduil]

Can't wait for the next lockout.

 

[linsivvi]

Isn't $9M what Ray Allen asked for?

Charlie Villanueva.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Celtics were offering him a 3-year, $9M deal I'm pretty sure.

 

[DY_nasty]

Jeff Green thinks he can be the next Matt Carroll

 

[Bowser]

Celtics were offering him a 3-year, $9M deal I'm pretty sure.

Yeah but Ray wanted 3 years at $9mil per

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Charlie Villanueva.

Close, but I think that was $7.5 million.

Jeff Green has taken robbery to the next level...

 

[SamuraiX-]

The Boston Celtics have emerged as a serious suitor for Courtney Lee after coach Doc Rivers met with the free-agent guard Saturday night, according to sources familiar with Boston's thinking.

Pietrus not coming back?

 

[linsivvi]

Celtics were offering him a 3-year, $9M deal I'm pretty sure.

If Jeff Green is worth $9M for a season why would Ray want to play 3 seasons just for the same amount of money?

 

[KingGondo]

Can't wait for the next lockout.

I don't blame you.

Surely the next CBA will bring marquee free agents to the Mavs.

 

[linsivvi]

I don't blame you.

They let Chandler go after winning a chip. It's bad karma.

 

[DY_nasty]

I really can't even be mad at the Mavs.

That's a gamble you have to take.

Nah. We also need to get this guy back, then Greatest Offseason can be complete.

Not one, not two, not three, how bout...


























dat tank.

 

[SoulPlaya]

The Bulls get Hinrich, and looks like they won't be getting Lee. FUCK THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I thought the bRuin faithful wanted to do away with Ben Howland and his Ben Ball warriors?

I shout out Howland in jest.

Love was only at fucla for a year, its not like Howland really coached him up all that much.

C'mon son...

Ray demanded 3/27 because his butt was hurt KG was their first priority. Instead he took 9 total over 3 years but wanted 9 per from the Celtics. Celtics offered 2/12 with a no trade clause. Dat jealousy.

 

[darkside31337]

WojYahooNBA
Brooklyn's started talks with RFA Brook Lopez on extension, sources tell Y! Could be to stay with Nets or used in sign-and-trade with Magic.


Welp. Better be for the former and not the latter.

No, I think it was the Jeff Green thing. You think he would be mad about KG getting money? It was Jeff Green he was mad about.

Move on. Ray did.

Take this for what you will.

Rivers hinted that perhaps the Celtics' courting of Kevin Garnett to return may have irritated Allen, who may not have felt like a priority.

"I thought we did that," Rivers said. "Danny (Ainge) in particular did exactly what he should have done. Kevin Garnett was our focal point and he should have been. If that got anyone ruffled then that's probably too bad. We did everything that we're supposed to do.

"He had his reasons. I think emotionally he probably got bent sideways a little bit by us courting Kevin for some reason. I don't know honestly. Listen, he was great for us when he was here and that's all we can say for it. Clearly we would have liked him to stay with us. But I respect Ray and that will never go away."

 

[charsace]

Btw I'm dead ass if the Knicks win a title with Melo I will ask Ace to permaban me from Neogaf

I bookmarked this.

Sure but how can the Celtics justify paying Jeff Green more money than Ray next season? It's not like they couldn't give him a counter offer like 2/18.

I don't think asking for $9M per is too much when Omar Asik is getting $8M.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Marc Berman: Kevin Durant is biggest NBA superstar ever who can play craps in crowded Vegas casino - as he did last night - and go relatively unnoticed.

so humble.

 

[Emwitus]

I don't blame you.

Surely the next CBA will bring marquee free agents to the Mavs.

 

[iamshadowlark]

Did I really miss a Knicks fan poppin off?

 

[DY_nasty]

I bookmarked this.

Did you bookmark when people said the Knicks wouldn't see the secound round?

 

[Adam Blade]

Add the Clippers to teams interested in Rockets free agent C Marcus Camby, a source said. Nets to set up meeting. NY & MIA still interested.

Eh...

Because with Terry, the Celtics were in desperate need for a backup SF. While I think that is too much for Green, I think he can do well as the backup to Pierce. He's now the 4th highest paid player on the Celtics.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Did you bookmark when people said the Knicks wouldn't see the secound round?

in theory they will make the 2nd round.they wont face the heat.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if the Celtics are really in play for Courtney Lee why the fuck did they rush to agree to a deal with Terry?

They can't justify Jeff Green's contract with or without Ray. If your hurt about money they why do you leave to a conference rival for 1/3 of what you demanded?

 

[Tom Penny]

Avery Bradley has no shoulders.

 

[darkside31337]

if the Celtics are really in play for Courtney Lee why the fuck did they rush to agree to a deal with Terry?

Because he can still play?

I really don't get how Courtney Lee makes any sense for Celtics. At all.

Has a player ever gotten $9 million a year for several years before despite not showing any ability to do anything well on a basketball court? What a terrible contract for Green.

I just want to remind ya'll that Jeff Green shot 30% from 3 in '10-'11. Meanwhile, Ray Allen shot 45% over the last two years. If he got an inkling of what they were offering Jeff, I can't blame him for leaving.
