[the wizard]

if the style of play changes I don't know if I would still want Channing Frye on my squad

 

[ex carrabba fan]

Frye is trash, he better sign that deal ASAP.

dude is softer than wet toilet paper and he does nothing but shoot three's. No post game, not much mid range, no defense no rebounding.

 

[dman14]

hawks throwing money away if they really offered jj the max. he's nice, but not max. jamal crawford can do just about everything jj does.

 

[jehlers02]

Bucks signed Drew Gooden and are close to resinging Salmons if its not already done.

The Milwaukee Bucks have had one of the best offseasons of any team in the league, and they are close to pulling off another surprising move. The Bucks are on the verge of re-signing guard John Salmons, one of the top shooting guards available in free agency -- and thought to be on the move after opting out of his deal last month -- to a five-year, $39 million contract. The deal also includes $5 million in potential bonuses, according to a source, and two league sources say the Bucks have a buyout option for the fifth season.

The deal with Salmons is "real close," a league source said Thursday, but not completely finished.

Bucks will keep John Salmons. 5 year deal. Details forthcoming. 28 minutes ago via txt

Once again I say...last years playoffs has everyone %!$#!* up on JJ all of a sudden.

 

[nyh425]

jj is decent, a 20 5 and 5 guy but he needs to dominate the ball so much more with his size. his athleticism is below mediocre but he has decent ball handling skills and a nice stroke.

only thing i hate about him is his softness. how u 6'8 shooting floaters in the lane? with that size and height u should be taking it strong to the rack.

still isnt worth a max contract tho, hawks def. overpaid

[h1]Report: Raptors-Bulls To Do Sign-Trade, Bosh Heading To Chicago[/h1]

It is official folks. The drama of the NBA Free Agency can begin.

Moments ago on tsn.ca, the first domino affect fell.

According to multiple sources close to the Toronto Raptors front office,  All Star Chris Bosh will head to the Chicago Bulls in a sign and trade deal.

The Raptors are still in the works of getting a deal done, but it is believed the sign and trade will get done by Thursday.

There is speculation that Chicago would send Luol Deng and a future first round pick to the club.

It sure does make sense. The Bulls get Bosh, and then the recruiting can begin for either Lebron or Wade to come to Chicago.

Stephen A. Smith also believes it isn't out of the question that this trade is indeed possible.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

We are not taking luol deng, so stop that.

[knightngale]

@ the thought of taking luol deng for bosh

that is so ridiculous that it should not be even posted here

Gm's seem to be over paying more so than last year

 

[physicx]

I DONT WANT DENG DAMMIT

 

[bhzmafia14]

Rudy Gay and Grizz agree to 5yr/80mil deal. FML

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It's not happening, so don't believe that.

Kahn saved from his own stupidity

How do you get a max contract without ever making the All-Star game? Especially when bums like Mo Williams have made it.

I already said in the other thread that this was stupid for the Grizz. They could have waited until Minn offered him a contract, matched it, and saved millions and millions of dollars. Instead they offered him all this money outright....

 

[physicx]

i just peeped the source

*phew*

 

[Retroballer]

toronto, just make a deal with Houston for Bosh so we both can be happy

Rudy Gay is NOT worth $16 mil a year AT ALL

  The players are definitely winning this year with these deals they are getting

 

[bhzmafia14]

Hes staryimg at $13.3 mil with 10.5 percent increase.

My thing is he asked for 65mil last yr and we didnt want to give it to him. @*%@*!# owner.

[bigpunoy]

I really want to like the Grizz, but I was hoping they would let Rudy Gay be someone else's mistake.
