July 11, 200323 yr Zo is going to sign with The Nets after being re-assured that Kidd is going to re-sign. If someone has a link post it, I just saw it on The Bottom Line.
July 11, 200323 yr from espn.com Free-agent center Alonzo Mourning plans to sign with the New Jersey Nets, apparently paving the way for Jason Kidd to re-sign in New Jersey, a league source who spoke with Mourning's agent Thursday night told Insider's Chad Ford. Mourning could announce as early as today that he'll sign a 4-year, $20 million contract with the Nets. Mourning's agent told the Insider source that Mourning agreed to sign with the Nets after receiving assurances that Kidd also will re-sign. Kidd's agent, Jeff Schwartz, didn't return a phone call Friday morning seeking comment. Mourning, who can't officially sign until July 16th, will be in Miami tonight at Zo's Summer Groove, his charity basketball game and dinner. Mourning, 33, was diagnosed in October 2000 with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a kidney disease that can eventually require a transplant. He played in just the final 13 games for the Heat in 2000-01, but appeared in 75 games the following season. Last September, shortly before training camp, Mourning was advised by doctors to skip the 2002-03 season because test results indicated his condition had worsened. He has since received medical clearance for 2003-04.
July 11, 200323 yr i dont like it, but i dont blame him either. the Heat didnt seem to interested and just made him an offer yesterday or wednesday more than week after free agency started, and it was only a 1 year deal. so i dont blame him taking this deal. having a job for four years beats out a 1 year deal, especially when there is no guarantee things will go well next season.

July 11, 200323 yr i really cant believe Kidd would stay in Jersey, his wife probably talked him into it.
July 11, 200323 yr The Heat won't sign Odom. (quit being an unrealistic optimist) And if Zo plays 75% of his capabilities, he wont even be good enough to play in the NBA anymore.
July 11, 200323 yr The Heat won't sign Odom. (quit being an unrealistic optimist) And if Zo plays 75% of his capabilities, he wont even be good enough to play in the NBA anymore. are you kidding me, Zo is one of the best centers in the game, him playing at 75% is still PLENTY good to be in the league.....thats ridiculous.
July 11, 200323 yr Alonzo Mourning = 4-time defensive player of the year. And Phlub, why am I being an unrealistic optimist? Miami has $12 Million to go out and sign players with. What the hell are you talking about?

July 11, 200323 yr The Heat could sign him but I rather wait for next year free agent class now. Odom would be a perfect fit... But who would be in next years FA market?
July 11, 200323 yr Kobe and Garnett nuff said Yup... just to make it clear, we are getting neither of those guys. the only way i think we're getting any of them, is if im also seeing these :elefant and i do not want to go to rehab anytime soon
July 11, 200323 yr Kobe has said/implied that he wants to prove he can carry a team. Miami will have a lot more money freed up next year to sign him. You just never know...
July 11, 200323 yr Author Kobe has said/implied that he wants to prove he can carry a team. Miami will have a lot more money freed up next year to sign him. You just never know... They can't sign him but Kobe would look real fine in Bulls color. KG was always rumored to be going to be the bulls at a high price though, Curry, Chandler and JWill. That deal would have been stupid now if they can get them in FA, that would be fine by me. :cool
July 11, 200323 yr You never know. Money can always appear, Rune (i.e. Anthony Carter). I don't know how much money will be free for Miami next year if they don't sign anyone this year, but I would imagine in between $15-$20 Million, which happens to be Kobe's price range.

How many years left Eddie Jones and Briant Grant Contract?
July 12, 200323 yr I dont like Basketball that much but i never thought the Heat would trade him.....finally ZO is in a contending team! He must be very Happy to be with the Nets.
July 12, 200323 yr Last time i heard they didn't want this news out until after his Summer Groove events down here. Guess it leaked.
July 12, 200323 yr How many years left Eddie Jones and Briant Grant Contract? Trying to find out myself...
July 12, 200323 yr Oh god. Have you guys heard Aldridge?? Garnett is on the verge of re-signing with Minnesota. Garnett was quoted in the Minneapolis Paper saying.... "Money isn't an issue. They'll give me what I want. But now that I know what moves they plan on making before season starts, I believe we will be a good, good team and can win. I plan on re-signing and hope to stay here." So don't get your hopes to high Heat fans. And Kobe is staying in L.A. if he already isn't in Denver (inside joke almost), or Veil is more like it.
July 12, 200323 yr I don't know... Garnett knows whatever team he goes to in the East he could take to the finals.
July 12, 200323 yr Trying to find out myself... they both have around 4 years left...4 long years left
