2013 NBA Offseason |OT| Already Planning for the 2014 Offseason

So, after this Iggy signing, the Warriors are looking at about $60M in salaries for this upcoming season.
Signing Dwight straight up would jack that up to $80M, but if they were able to swap out the last year of Bogut's contract for Dwight then they would only be looking at around $65-70M in player salaries. That's about how much they were paying this past season.
Crazy if it actually happens. Same amount of money with WAY more talent.
They also only have 3 players under contract next summer as it is.
The logo still got it.
What if the source is actually Dwight?
What if Dwight is every source ever?
He and Terry both wanted 10+ mil year deals.
I would've put them on ignore too.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
So he could have gotten Deron out the conference but basically helped an inter-city rival?

Lee, Curry, Klay, Barnes, Iggy, Ezili. Don't pretend like they aren't exercising the options on those rookie contracts.
Fucking just pick a team already, Dwight. We want this over with, I don't give a fuck anymore.
You forgot Rose....
They can trade them or keep them. The point is they have flexibility.
How many times can you be wrong within an hour?
Their cap is $48M inclusive next season.
You didn't welcome me last year.
You were never one of us. You will never be one of us drkside

I don't know it seems simple enough for me.
The longer Dwight keeps LA/HOU/GS on his list the more likely it is he wants to be in GS. He can't narrow his choices down to LA/GS because Mitch can tell him to get bent and hold GS for hostage, because wheres he going to go?
It would be insane if he said he wanted to go to GS at this point.
No, its the fact that he got banned that really pushed the jinx. Suck it Brandi, I know you're reading this. Rox/Gs/Brookyln will get Dwight but not the Mavs!
If GS puts Bogut/Klay out there with whatever else they have, I think the Lakers are dumb enough to say yes and give them Dwight. They literally did the best two things they could have done: shed salary and sign a type of player every championship squad should have.
Honestly, still think its 65/35 Rockets way, but with the Lakers front office's stupidity, it could go either way.

Terry had to go, he had no soul left to sell for another miracle playoff run. But I'd give Chandler 10-12 mil, hell, Dallas paid him 12.6 for that one season. They were trying to clear their roster for Deron/Dwight and got burned.

Man, Millsap was awesome, going to miss him
Hope he signs with a good team that will let him start.

He wouldnt have even needed to tell Deron that. It was obvious to everyone Dallas let him walk without any sort of significant offer.

Iggy move pays off twice?
If I were Howard, the minute Kobe opened his trap about learning how to win under his tutelage, I would've crossed them off my list. Kobe is great at driving superstar centers off his teams. Emphasis on his.

I don't really know how to PS, but this all feels like a carnival of stupid.
Huh, interesting. So the Iggy deal actually helped with Howard's interest in GS.
Welcome to NBAGAF's Carnival of Stupid.

Sources say Dwight Howard is in the grocery store cereal aisle choosing between Froot Loops, Cap'n Crunch, and Lucky Charms.

Just fucking sign with the Ws then. Morey just needs to move on. Let GS and LA have their stare down. I'm cool with Asik and cap space.
The fuck...........

Good. If Howard is too mentally weak for that, he's too mentally weak to be a champion in a city that demands it.
Dwight acting like this is a race or some stupid bullshit. No X team is ahead. Oh look, team Y took the lead.
Either he can't figure out which dress to put on for the big gala or he's just annoying everyone on purpose. Either way, it is annoying. I just want to know what the team will look like so make a fucking call already.
Maybe you'd start using the Rockets instead of the Thunder finally.

Beans and RJ better not get any fucking minutes next year. I much rather want to see Gobert and Evans struggle knowing they might be something than watch Beans struggle while knowing he's never contributing anything.

Exactly. If he's just using us as leverage let him figure it out on his own or go back to LA. I don't give a shit.

After watching the Frosted Flakes commercial, Dwight has added it to the list of cereals being considered.

I beat CB with the Rockets already. He left off that part
at this point I think Howard is just trying to play the Rockets

Morey should just sign millsap, then Dwight would be stuck in LA and everyone could laugh at him. Take the decision out of his hands, haha.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
It's always been dumb with Howard and Houston. Remember this is the player who wouldn't play for the Rockets for even half a season with the Rockets fighting for a playoff spot and opted back in with the Magic instead.
He's got great talent when he's healthy and his head is in the game, but he's so fucking annoying with the drama he brings it's just ugh
I just want this over with so the Rockets can start making moves.
I KNOW LOL RITE.

At least Lebron gave us a time for the announcement.
Dwight is just making everyone wait for no one knows how long.

No room for the Booze in there? I'm going to let him know about this.

Cubes should've traded Dirk. It's super hard to rebuild through free agency if you don't have a desirable player to build around. Dirk is way too old and we don't have any other players to entice free agents to come. Time to join the tank of 2014
