Getting Rasheed Wallace would be huge for Orlando.

 

 

 

 

Yep Yep. Same for Boston if they get him.

 

 

cant really see sheed in a celtic jersey.

 

 

I can. Celtics are a legit contender, and he wants to go to a contender.

Exactly, he has the chance to go to any team in the east like Boston, Cleavland or Orlando but don't forget about the Western Conference.

 

If Phoenix loses Amare there might be a Rasheed/Ben Wallace Reunion or he could go to LA if they do not resign Odom, San Antonio, New Orleans, Utah or even Houston with the injury's to Yao.

the pistons fired head coach curry. i saw this coming because you could tell that the players didn't respect him. they need a veteran coach like avery johnson.

They sure do miss Admin Brown right now.

The Orlando Magic will make another long-shot run at re-signing small forward Hedo Turkoglu while patiently waiting to bargain-shop after the green flag drops on free agency.

 

Wow.

 

i think he'll end up in toronto. colangelo loves foreign players and he needs to convince chris bosh to stay in toronto.

 

PG - Calderon

SG - Parker/DeRozan

SF - Hedo

PF - Bosh

C - Bargnani

 

that's a pretty good lineup in the east.

boozer opted to stay with the jazz. although i think he'll leave next offseason. the only reason he decided to opt and stay one more year was because there were only a hand full of teams with enough cap to sign him giving them an advantage over him. so he'd rather play one more year at 12.7 and raise his stock than be forced to sign a long term deal with a paycut. next season after the big names like bosh, lebron, and wade are off the board teams will get into bidding wars over boozer.

The list keeps on getting longer.

 

That means Boozer, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Allen, LeBron, Shaq, Josh Howard, Dirk, Kenyon Martin, McGrady, Yao (if he's able to come back), Camby, Wade, Redd, Chandler, Nash, Amare, Ginobli, Richard Jefferson, Bosh, and Haywood are all unrestricted free agents come 2010.

 

I think it may actually be a bad idea to wait because of all of the money being spent on all the rest of the free agents. He would have been the top free agent if he were to opt out this year and there are still some teams that have the cap room to sign him.

yeah but after the big names get signed the remaining teams will have a bidding war for guys like boozer, who is just entering his prime. not to mention he was asking teams for a contract that started at 14 million and the pistons offered the highest starting at 11 million so he just decided to play out one last year with the jazz.

 

boozer will be more sought after than allen, shaq, howard, kenyon, mcgrady, haywood, chandler, and jefferson. i'd say boozer is in the top 10 in the 2010 free agent class.

I think all the large-market teams will go after LeBron, Wade, Amare, Bosh, etc. first, and then might not have room for players like Boozers and other players like him. He might still get the money he wants, but he probably won't be able to play for an elite team which he probably prefers.

what???

i just read the funniest article. it says that lamar odom wants a 4 year deal worth 40 million. is odom serious, 4 years and 25 million is reasonable but for a guy that has one good game per week 40 million is just ridiculous.

Pistons signed Gordon and Villanueva.

 

 

WHY? this is dump move by the pistons. they already signed hamilton to an extension. now they probably won't have any money to sign a real big man during next offseason.

 

oh and the grizzlies acquired zach randolph from the clippers for quentin richardson. i saw this coming since they need room for griffin. but i don't get this move from the griz standpoint. gasol was a reliable big man last season and they drafted thabeet who needs playing time to develop. so who sits with the arrival of randolph?

The worst part of it all are the contracts...

 

Jesus who the hell would give Ben Gordon 5 years $55 million????? Same goes with Villanueva and his $7 million a year contract, he should be getting the MLE. Pistons have turned into a terrible franchise.

They really miss Admin Brown.

 

Wow i thought they'd signed good contracts but 55 Mil for someone that might not even start?

 

And they should have signed Villanueva for the MLE to save at least 3 Mil.

Well this is good new for the Heat since we'll be able to out rebound a team this season.

And according the Ron Artests twitter, he has said, and I quote, "THANKS ALOT HOUSTON.:) I HAD ALOT OF FUN:)", not 100% its his true account though, but he has been in talks with the Cavs about signing for the MLE of $5.6 million

i doubt it. this is probably artest's last chance for a big time contract so he won't sign for the MLE.

villanueva signed for 5 years and 40 million. that's actually 8 million per year, which is even worse

Another thing Artest wants is a championship ring. Plenty of teams that aren't in contention right now are offering him the $8 million a year, he wants $12 million a year, which nobody is offering. He either takes the $8 million from some non contender or take the discount to try and win a championship
