KG is so fucking stupid. How fucking loyal can this idiot be? Jesus, he is wasting his talent.

Varejao Is a VERY good Backup PF/C in the east. He could even make a good starter, in the 12 poiints/10 Board range. I like him alot, But 10 mil is crazy. 6 mil I can take, because Sleedy Claxton and Jeff McGinnis make that much. Hell, Raef Lafrentz makes 3 times that.

Zo is coming back for one more season, He said he didnt want to end his career the way this past season ended for the Heat.

Francis signs 1 year deal with Houston

why the fuck would Houston bring Francais back, when they already know what he's all about.

Francis can come off the bench and score, that is all he can do, its all they want him to do. Ill take him over rafer Alston. he doesnt need to be the guy anymore, they have T_MAc and Yao, now he can just fill a scoring role.

The Rockets really dont have a scoring option besides Yao and T-Mac. Some games Mike James can put up 30 or just 5 pts, and guys like Battier and Hayes are defensive players. I read that the Rockets now have EIGHT Pgs on their roster lol.

I heard the Francis deal is a 2 yr deal

I called it, and it makes perfect sense to me. Francis was at his best in Houston and they need another legitimate scorer right now more than anything. I don't know how much of an impact he will make, but the upside is there, IMO.

He isnt nearly as dangerous as he was, but scoring has never been Franchises problem, it has been D, Passing, and leading. I think he will be a solid 6th man.

Pretty crazy to see how fast this guy has fallen off the radar, huh?

From Stevie Franchise to Stevie Sixthman

I could see him starting there. Who else do they have at point guard, Mike James, Bob Sura?

Mike James is awesome.

Mike James. Who? Mike James. Who?

Swishahouse!

Holy Shit!!

Jeez, if I read it right on ESPN, Seattle got Kurt Thomas and two first round picks for a second round pick.

Wait..................I just dont get the fucking suns. They sell all their first round picks and now trade them and a player for a CONDITIONAL 2nd?!???!??!?!?! They are so shitty....nash cant play forever

Supposely New GM Steve Kerr wants to trade away high draft picks and trade some guys in order to clear up salary cap room.

Penny Hardaway would be proud.

I don't know if mrslackalack misused the word "high" in his post, but it seems like the Suns basically packaged a bad player/contract with what will likely be LOW draft picks just to get rid of him.

In that sense, I don't think it was that bad of a move. I would rather have Marion than Kurt Thomas and a 28th overall draft pick. Every year when the Suns pick I always think, "Wow, that must be hard because they really don't need anybody." It's always just a backup PG or something.

Yeah, but eventually those picks will become someone. They could also draft rights to euro players that they wont have to pay now, but in a few years can bring in to play.

Insted, they hand away the picks to drop an EXPIRING CONTRACT that could have been used to trade for a solid player. Nash an marion only have so many years of high level play left, so maybe they shouldnt be giving away the future.

Penny Hardaway lol.

Yep this guy went to my high school.

Well like way before I got there though.

My ex went to high school with Zach Randolph and said he was a cocky prick, which is no suprise to me at all from what I have seen and heard from media reports.

With that trade the Suns can trade for a high salary guy and do not have to pay out the rest of that contract and sign them to whatever they want.

No they cannot. They still need to A) Put together a deal worth taking and B) Match that High Salary (because they are not far enough under the cap to just take on a huge salary)

Unless they are moving Marion they really cannot match a high salary, Thomas was the Expiring expensive contract needed to make trades like that. If anything, this hooks up the Sonics to send Thomas out in a trade for a player (maybe Ridnour/Thomas as a deal for players and picks)

Man that inter-squad scrimmage between Team USA was fuckin awsome. One of the best basketball games of the year. Durant played really well espeically in the 2nd half.

Now I know have talked shit on Kobe and I do hate him, but he is the best basketball player in the world. He is also that old school mentally like Jordan, Bird, and Magic had that he will stop at nothing to prove he is the best in the world. I love that, and it's something that most NBA players let alone modern athletes don't have anymore.

So a ref who worked in the Suns/Spurs series was fixing it for the mob? OMG NO WAY

Your ex is from Marion? :lol:

Pistons extended Mcdyess for 2 more years after his contract runs up next year

Whoa Casey Jacobsen is still in the NBA? I seen he got a 1 yr deal with the Griz

Haha, wow. What team was he with before the Grizzlies?

If you've ever hit a 3 pointer in your life, you'll probably get a 1 year deal with an NBA team.

The day Jason Kapono got paid more then 1 million a year was the same day i went and bought a basketball, head sweat band and some goggles. My shot is coming next year. I know it.

Last time I remember seeing Jacobsen in the NBA was the Suns a couple years ago I believe.

I'm actually really stoked Fisher is back in L.A. Dunno, I kinda have a good feeling.

Yah even tho he pulled the " My daughter has cancer and i want to be somewhere with good healthcare " excuse.

If Lance Briggs can return to the Bears then I think Kobe can return as a Laker.
