Geo more excitement has occurred:
Apparently, Kobe took a flight from Greece during his vacation in order to be a Melo’s pitch meeting…
When Phil decided to throw a wrench in his plans by requesting for Melo to meet him today for the Knicks pitch. Effectively moving the Lakers meeting up and Kobe won’t make it.
Less exciting news:
Darren Collison got signed by the Kings 3yr/16M.
Thabo Sefolosha agrees to three-year, $12M deal w/Atlanta Hawks
*Fingers staying crossed on the Isaiah Thomas situation… dunno if i can handle another loss like Tyreke Evans.
Hope Staniskaus pans out well. His game looks promising from what ive seen, but hopefully won’t deter McLemore’s growth as he looked to have been improving by seasons end.
Lol @ Phil trolling the Lakers hard with the Carmelo pitch.
I can’t even get mad at that.
Pau and Ibaka on the same court with Westbrook and Durant? Jesus.
so Kings might target Grevis Vasquez whether or not they resign Thomas
Dirk signs with Dallas for another 3 years at estimated 30 mil.
Lol ATL getting Thabo? Here’s hoping it works.
dirk at 10 per is nuts.
Lakers need a PG and this waiting on Lebron/Melo drama isn’t helping much. They can focus on obtaining Bledsoe and fill in some perimeter defense with Trevor Ariza. Nash can come off the bench, it’s the best situation for him since he won’t be playing so many minutes and he can be a playmaker for the second unit. Lastly, they will need to convince Pau to stay even though they threatened to trade him so many times:
Starter
Pau
Randle
Ariza
Kobe
Bledsoe
Bledsoe is a restricted FA though and we would have to overpay him so the Suns won’t match or send the Suns some type of incentive to get him.
suns are torn on who to go forward with as a franchise: bledsoe or dragic.
can’t have both.
cba is making FA really funky right now.
Big Baby and DeAndre in Amsterdam.

out of boredom i do this and so every free agent goes back to their original team, except lebron and melo…who both go to the rockets
that team, if it was possible, would have a harder figuring out who to score with than it would be to win a game
Melo recruiting Pau to NY. lolz
I never understood why nobody ever seems to want to go to Dallas. Dallas would be one of my prime choices if I was an NBA player.
I think roster wise DAL is the thinnest out of all the major teams in the Melo sweepstakes…no income tax is cool an all but I dont see them as a serious contender
Playing for Mark Cuban/Dirk is awesome, but it’s still Texas when you’re black. :bluu:
Damn
Mitch/Jim aint fucking around.
Holy fuck, I didn’t think it would be 95 mil. Didn’t the Knicks offer him a max contract too?
Yup. Like 125$ Mil methinks according to “Sources” Broussard
Ooooooooh. Do the Lakers have that kind of cap space? Or do they just not give a fuck about going into the luxury?
