Whoops, yeah, my bad. I accidentally put PHX. I meant NY.

Paul Pierce has reached a four-year deal worth $61M with Boston.

This is where it starts getting interesting. I wonder who else the Nets would sign with LeBron and who else NY would sign with Amare? Bosh is already likely to go to Miami I would assume. Looks like Boozer might be screwed.

If Bosh is off of the market, probably Lee.

(Chris Bosh) New Jersey meeting was very good as well. These guys really know how to sell a franchise

Why sign Lee or Bosh with Favors and Lopez?

Favors is unlikely to start right away so we need a PF. We are pretty much set at center with Lopez with Zoubek backing him up. Humphries needs to go if we intend on signing LeBron so we need depth and production at PF. LeBron wants us to be able to sign another max contract if he comes here.

LeBron is not gonna follow Lee to New Jersey lol

 

[sheed]

I read Humphries will be gone for sure by Sunday so they'll have room for two.

Apparently the Bulls want LeBron to have a decision on Saturday if he is going to sign with them, or they will pull their offer. Also they don't think Bosh is worth the max lol. They're done if this is true.

 

[sheed]

They're complete idiots if they don't want to offer Bosh the max.

If it's true, this makes Cleveland our only competition.

Idk why but i just cant see lebron and wade on the same team, it wont happen i know it wont.

The Bucks and free agent John Salmons have agreed on the final terms of a five-year, $39 million deal, according to league sources.

The final year of the deal is only partially guaranteed, according to ESPN.com's Chad Ford.

Salmons exercised his player option to opt out of the final year of his contract last week.

Milwaukee was determined not to take a step back after earning the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference this season.

Looks like Amare is going to the Knicks. For some reason I knew this was going to happen and I really like this signing, its great progress for us since we havent made the playoffs in 7 years and its time finally. I knew Mike D'antoni would pull this off since he and Amare were together back in Phoenix and they could get together again. This is a great move towards the Lebron signing, although I still dont think we can get him this puts us in a much better position.

WTF... they don't think Bosh is worth the max? Wow. Have fun Chicago.

 

[cruzg24]

I knew the Bulls would fold. Reinsdorf didnt want to pay Jordan and Pippen and you expect him to pay Bosh who hasnt won anything? Cmon man get real...... He will never pay the luxury tax to make his team a champion, the Bulls ownership is cheap.

 

[The Young One]

They'll meet with Lee and Booz. Both arent max players but they are solid. And reinsdorf will play the luxury tax at least thats what espn said.

Looks like the Kings probably won't do sh-t.

 

[RipCity32]

Warrick to the Suns. Wonder if that means Frye won't go back.

 

[elcheato]

He already is back.

 

[.GR]

Where would Frye go?
