Interest for what? To play basketball?

Deng to the Clips 3 years/$18m

Deng to the Clips 3 years/$18m

How? Clips are over the cap i thought?

Deng to the Clips 3 years/$18m

WTF? Luol Deng took a huge paycut. No way. I don't believe it.. False report..


Meanwhile interesting note..

Miami's Pat Riley has called Luol Deng's reps and registered his significant interest, source tells Yahoo.

 

[jbug617]

Woj says Riles has made a call for Deng and has serious interest in him.

 

[basic_element]

$1 and the privilege of getting all the blame

He's going to LA

kobe x Chalmers x Randle x Deng x Swaggy P lol

Ftfy

Isn't that like MLE level money? Steal for the Clipps if true. Wonder what happens with pierce though. Lakers better not even think about that asshole.

Seems like these fake twitter accounts in full force

I really can't see Luol playing with Lebron. I just don't. He and Noah were the leaders of the antiheat brigade for awhile

well.. assuming you've resigned to not chipping this year- no part of you is even SLIGHTLY intrigued by kobe x pierce?

No. That piece of shit can go fly a kite. I wouldn't want him for the league minimum.

lmao, think of the drama though!

Pierce was the guy to prove Kobe isn't reliable in playoff crunch time.

6/24, fish and pau saved that series for lakers.

No way kobe lets pierce play with him

Toronto and San Antonio are surprising names to be interested in his service. But I think he can fit well in OKC. I think Toronto pursue other players though, SA just wants to get him away from the Heat, and Pacers wanna add a player that can stretch the floor and allow players to drive for PG and Stephenson.

Houston Rockets want to bring back Lowry? My god this franchise doesn't see the value of any of the PGs they had. Dragic, and Lowry.

Former Cavalier players Deng and Hawes seem to be getting a lot of interest. Still shocking how that team didn't even make it into the playoffs and the Hawks did.

With Jason Kidd gone, I see Pierce going to LA for either team, or even return to Boston. I think the Bulls would be a good fit as well

 

[jbug617]

Pierce is getting a lot of calls. You think he will leave KG in Brooklyn?

@ESPNSteinLine: Blazers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Mavericks, Rockets ... teams I'm told called tonight to register interest in Brooklyn's Paul Pierce BESIDES Clips

 

[CreepingFear]

Pierce is getting a lot of calls. You think he will leave KG in Brooklyn?

I'd take him on the Bulls off the bench for vet minimum.

 

[BigJonsson]

Pierce should go West.......he is a Raptor killer

 

[jbug617]

Irving signed extension with Cavs

@cavsdan:Looking forward to the next 6 years of @KyrieIrving in CLE. Just shook hands &intend to sign on the 10th.Cant be more excited about @cavs...

Woj says it's 5yrs/$90 million

 

[basic_element]

Pierce should go West.......he is a Raptor killer

Reunion with doc on the clippers would be perfect for pierce.

 

[fertygo]

Indy should sign Pierce, will helping their offense and bench for sure and he would like chance for a title shot.

 

[CreepingFear]

I forgot that Pierce is from LA and the Doc Rivers connection. Makes sense if he goes that route.

HAHA, ninja. Soon as I saw BJ's post I thought same thing then I scroll down and there it is.

 

[Squalor]

Wow, Kyrie Irving signed that extension, $90 million total.

And of course Rashard Lewis is interested in playing for the two best teams in each conference.

 

[alba]

I'd take him on the Bulls off the bench for vet minimum.

That was exactly what I was thinking, would be a great fit to remain in the East and try to get another ring.

 

[Bowser]

This dork just got $90m: http://instagram.com/p/p6KypzxRza/

*sigh*

lol, Pierce is gonna get more than the vet min. Bank on a reunion with Doc in LA.

 

[alba]

I think that's the most likely result bar something else happening but I can still hope once we sign (if) Melo then it's a pretty attractive situation for vet min guys.

He celebrated $90 million by chilling at home with his brother?

Good for him.

Kyrie right after his verbal commitment to re-sign

 

[MPW]

Well at least this ends Lowry to Heat rumors.

lowry should have went to miami

i can't see raps making it to the finals in the near future but with him and big 3 miami would have been a lock for the finals again

 

[fertygo]

Kyle effing Lowry not gonna sacrifice big check for title shot, bet he not even dreaming about it when entering the league.

 

[Exokell]

Lowry was getting paid peanuts, he wants that money for his families.

 

[Kave_Man]

Realistically this is probably his one shot at a big contract, he's 28 or 29 years old right now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Any time you can give $90 million to a guy who hasn't played a full season since high school you gotta do it.

 

[Dominican Power]

Cavs gonna be in the lottery next year.

 

[Bowser]

Any time you can give $90 million to a guy who hasn't played a full season since high school you gotta do it.

As Simmons said, can we see Kyrie lead the Cavs to more than 35 wins in a season before we decide to throw the max at him?

Apparently not.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Zack Lowe's article up today on Grantland doesn't paint a pretty picture for the Hear re: the salary cap and their ability to add significant pieces. After all of this wrangling they might end right where they've been the last couple of seasons, capped out and trying to lure aging vets to sign for low money deals.

Well yeah. There's no way you can pay LBJ the max, retain Bosh and Wade (even at decent discounts) and still add second-tier stars. Everyone thought that LBJ would be willing to take something around $15m-$16m with Miami in order to open up space. With him taking $22m, they're gonna have to try to get guys like Vince Carter and Marvin Williams to take vet min deals.

 

[friskykillface]

Well Pierce still hates LeBron x wade and the heat so I think he's still gonna try to take them out

He's failed since he ended LeBrons career in Cleveland

Been said but Indy or Bulls is perfect

But LA reunion with doc would be cool

 

[darkside31337]

They should honestly think about just letting Wade go. They could get 2-3 impact guys instead of Wade, they'd be way better off.

True, that especially with Lebron wanting the max I don't see how this team can get better, with cap situation that is mostly from 3 players.

Same situation with Kobe. Wade is the franchises guy.

Ideally they would, it's clearly the best basketball decisions, but realistically they can't. Not after he opted out of guaranteed money. It would make Riley and Arisen look too bad with players and agents and could effect future dealings. They're just sorta fucked when it comes to Wade.

 

[jwhit28]

Same situation with Kobe. Wade is the franchises guy.

Miami should learn from what happened with the Lakers and Kobe not repeat it.
