The new big 3+1

why did the cameraman cut out the rest of Shaq?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...umors-and-speculation-on-thunder-stars-future

Huh...Mutual interest between Clippers and Durant.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...umors-and-speculation-on-thunder-stars-future

Huh...Mutual interest between Clippers and Durant.

Same article has him in Dallas and Golden State.

There's going to be 75 teams with cap space to sign him. Honestly, the Clippers would be one of the last places I would expect to get him, and I would personally bet on him sticking with OKC.

That said, this next year might suck, because it does seem like Durant speculation will be on overdrive.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

He should stay in OKC, honestly. It's really his home place. Still a shame they got rid of Harden....if Harden would have developed into the player he was now and he was paired with that entire team....basketball porn on par with the Warriors.

Washington Wizards might be interesting too. John Wall and Durant paired up.

 

[alr1ght]

Move the Bucks to Seattle. Durant back to the Sonics.

 

[ViciousDS]

Damn, first time since 2011 that we had a reoccurring 2nd string PG

Happy Bulls resigned brooks.(he verbally committed)

Can K-Dur play the 5?

 

[panthapanda]

So barring any further transactions it looks like the Lakers lineup is:

D'Angelo/Lou Williams
Clarkson/Swaggy/Jabari Brown
Kobe/Anthony Brown/RKelly
Julius/Bass/Nance
Hibbert/Taraq/Sacre/Upshaw

Lou ain't playing PG babyyyy.

 

[SaintR]

Came across this while browsing the web trying to quench my thirst for more Knicks articles....pretty funny but someone must be real bored waiting for that July 11th Knicks summer league tipoff.

Celtic fans what if I told you a month ago that this offseason your team would acquire a handsome, white PF who can't play a lick of defense?

You had me at white.

They would have been excited about acquiring Kevin Love.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Racist Boston at it again.

There's someone saying Riley is offering Chalmers and Birdman for Gallinari. That'd be an solid add to the bench if this happens and Gallinari stays healthy. Seems unlikey though.

Chalmers and Birdman are trash tho

 

[thefatness16]

Absolutely true. The only way I see that going through is with draft picks, which Heat have none of until 2021.

Why would the Nuggets do that? Is this like the Lakers getting Boogie for a 2nd round draft pick and a 6-pack of Miller Lite?

if the Cousins for Hibbert offer doesn't pan out, that might be next.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Honestly I'd rather them give away Chalmers for an amazon gift card

Man.. Chris Paul doesn't give a FUCK about DJ dipping lmao.

I wish im good at photoshop. I would have put all 4 of them on Falkor.

I haven't heard any rumors about that but man is that a horrible trade idea. Besides we amnestied Birdman for a reason.

 

[ViciousDS]

I just realized bobby portis is fricken 6 foot 11...............wow, we really could move a front court person and trade for another smaller guard. We seriously should trade Gibson for Crawford, I want to see my man come back to the team he started on, I love crawford.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Well, comparing someone to a Spurs player isn't like for like. They've built a culture of winning and sacrifice that no other organization has. The players take less money to play for a championship. That's been the deal for two decades, so obviously Green is going to sign for less than market value.

It's why it's so funny when someone says Wade sacrificed so he's due. He already got his reward: two rings. That's the biggest difference between Wade and Duncan -- Wade still wants his (money, pride, power) whereas Duncan just wants to hoist the trophy again.

Difference is Duncan has made a lot more money then Wade and has been the highest paid player on his team for many years. Wade has never been the highest paid player on his team. I think comparing Wade to Duncan is bad and not remotely the same. Duncan wasn't taking pay cuts early in his career like Wade.

This pic somehow feels creepy, what the hell is CP3 doing there?

Im pretty sure him and Lebron are like best friends.

That would be horrid for the Mavs.

it would be an incredibly shitty thing to do, to the point where I could see the league moving the signing date and negotiating start date closer together in the future to try and prevent it, but a part of me wants to see it happen just to see the reaction/salt from Cuban. He would melt down.

 

[LyleLanley]

This should be good. On one hand, I want that protected Dallas pick to be as close to 8 as possible, on the other hand I want to see the Clippers get screwed.

"Piggyback off @ESPNSteinLine: Doc told DJ they didn't know he wanted bigger role. LA offering to hire big man coach & increase DJ's touches." - @AlexKennedyNBA

Doc the GM getting desperate.

 

[Uno Venova]

Even if the Clips are begging him to come back nothing shows he's even interested in going back on his deal.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah it's best to move on unless they really think he's having second thoughts.

Doc pullin the "I didn't know that's what you wanted! I'll change. I'll go to counseling!" move.

 

[ratcliffja]

DJ needs to develop a post game if he wants more touches.

 

[LyleLanley]

Is there any way DeAndre can fuck over both the Clippers and Mavs?

Sure. Sign with the Mavs.

DeAndre if you really hate Chris Paul but love the LA lifestyle, I have an opportunity for you...

 

[cubicle47b]

Looks like Chandler Parsons is going to have to fly out to LA.

My fucking god.

I don't blame him, you'd have to really hate CP3 to give up $19 million to play with a worse team.

 

[sooperkool]

Wouldn't be the first time a guy changed his mind and didn't sign with Dallas. See Jason Kidd.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I don't blame him, you'd have to really hate CP3 to give up $19 million to play with a worse team.

He's 26. He'll sign another max contract after this one. It's not like that $19 million disappears.

 

[ratcliffja]

Doc is also his biggest fan and Blake is a close friend. His moan issue send to be that his rift with CP3 means that he likely won't get the ball much.

 

[LyleLanley]

He's 26. He'll sign another max contract after this one. It's not like that $19 million disappears.

You never know what can happen in 4 years.

As miserable as a 26 year old living in LA with $109,000,000 coming his way can be.

Basketball has unwritten rules too?

@BobbyMarks42: Like baseball there are certain "unwritten rules" and this is a big violation of it. Once a player commits to another team you move on.

Next time the Clippers and Mavs play Dirk is going to bean Doc.
