Official NBA OFF-SEASON Thread - 2011: Free Agency Dec. 9th

[pmatic]

I see the Thunder getting a hybrid forward in this draft. Someone like Chandler Parsons, Kyle Singler or Jimmy Butler to hopefully fill the Jeff Green role.

Nice little discussion the BS Report today. Chad Ford believed the following deal should be done by the Lakers, if they want D12:

Gasol, Bynum, and Odom for D12 & Arenas

Reasoning: Lakers' have a terrible cap situation, New CBA and hard cap possibility (read=likelihood), and Otis Smith realizing that D12 will not move from Orlando for a smaller market (the implication being that the big markets will not be able to sign D12 as a FA and will have to aggresively trade for him)

Interesting.

chad ford must be a magic fan or just really hate the lakers

Harden probably has the best decision making on that entire team.

Yeah if he starts, it definitely weakens their bench, but that could be resolved via free agency IMO.

Their offense flowed so much better when he was in there with Russ and Durant.

Am I crazy for thinking he runs the point better than Russ?

That Durant/Harden P&R should be deadly over the next few years if Westbrook can be content with it.

Could the Magic be swayed into a Westbrook/Ibaka trade for Dwight?

Now that's a big three I can root for... Dwight, Harden, and Durant.

It's a better deal than all that LO/Bynum nonsense we've been hearing, ain't it?

I cant imagine Orlando would trade Dwight without getting rid of one of those ridiculous contracts they have in Gil or Hedo as well.
