2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

[Coupé It]

I haven't been keeping up.

So LeBron wants the max but the Heat are trying to get Lowry. How the hell does that happen? Wade and Bosh's paycut would have to be like 10 mil each.

I don't think he's broke or bad with his money. I don't see him going to Miami, desperate for ring. I could be wrong though.

Yeah true. He got his rings, he just may collect as long as he could contribute to a team. If he does leave LA, it'll prolly be because of how we treated him, or not wanting so much pressure being put on him. Not that it would happen, but it'll be interesting if he was to play side by side with Dirk

Thats cute. Saw 10 jokes just like that in the comments.

man take your feels to the Bulls thread
...

I have no hate towards Rose or the Bulls.. I like their squad..

Bulls fans on NT be real scrappy behind Rose

And at the Wizards for paying Gortat $60M. And I was worried about the Grizz overpaying Zbo

As for Wade taking a paycut, he needs to take a 2yr/$14.5M deal like Ginobili did.

#NTGM's - "won't over pay for talent, but got $350 on retros"

Wade and Bosh want max deals too? So there is no chance they get Lowry.

I have a feeling like these dudes are really not on the same page behind closed doors.

I don't see the big issue with Gortat's contract. Perhaps he got one year too many but I don't think you chance it by being stingy about that one year. He's a decent big who your star point guard is extremely fond of. Not to mention didn't the Wizards trade away their 1st rounder for this guy this past offseason? What would you guys have preferred the Wizards to have done with that 12 million? The Wizards inexperience cost them the Eastern Conference Finals and with the way things are shaping up right now, shooting for the ECF is an achievable goal for them this upcoming season.

It could just be these reporters talking. They aren't right all the time. It would be messed up tho if Lebron was the only one to get a max deal, and those two take paycuts.

Don't sweat the 5 years , 5 years in the NBA might as well be twenty because things change so quickly.

5 years ago Lebron was snatching off his hometown jersey before he hit the locker room , Kobe was going to the finals on the reg, and D Rose was a healthy young man

No way in hell he stays there 5 years it'll be a cold day in hell icicles made of sweat

 

[firstclass]

Rose ordered chicken fingers

 

[casperjr]

Saw this on the Twitter::

"Carmelo Anthony met with the Bulls earlier today. Now, source says he's at dinner with Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose among others right now."

 

[dman14]

ariza bout to dupe another team into giving him a big contract

 

[freshbottoms]

Can't wait for rumors of lebron and a sit down w some other team than the heat.

 

[ballinsam23]

anything on the Lance stephenson front?

 

[do work son]

The money on gortats contract is fine. The length is the problem

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

anything on the Lance stephenson front?

He's gonna get a max deal

IMO its two years too long and an aging big making that much money will be very hard to move until the last year when hes an expiring. If they can even move him it ends up only being one wasted year, but if they cant....

 

[MVP]

Don't know how reliable CBS Sports is but according to them some in the Bulls camp are pessimistic coming out of their meeting. They feel Melo is leaning towards staying in NY. Also mentioned LaLa's desire to remain in NYC among other things. And apparently Rose had to leave the dinner early.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Yeah it's just risky to sink that much money for that long. Especially for a guy that hits the deck doing his own Dream shake

Who wants o.j. mayo? Mavs if carter leaves??
