NBA Free Agency Thread

[.GR]

Yeah, I seen him play at Boise State tons of times. I met him a couple times also...

"April 2 was the one-year anniversary of his second cancer," (George) Karl said. "And it was just amazing what he has been through. How far he has grown and the maturity that he has shown. I think he understands how much he's grown up in the two years that he's had cancer."

It surprises Coby that some consider him an inspiration. After all, as a rookie, he played in just 17 games for the Lakers, averaged a mere 1.8 points. But before he even made the team as an undrafted free agent with a partially guaranteed contract, a highly respected veteran was paying homage to his voyage.

Lakers guard Derek Fisher knows all about cancer. During last year's playoffs, Fisher, then with the Utah Jazz, took a much-publicized leave of absence to tend to his daughter, Tatum, then almost 10 months, who was battling a form of eye cancer.

When Coby showed up for training camp last fall, Fisher sought him out.
"The first time I met him, he said he was proud to just be a teammate with me, considering what I've gone through," Coby said. "It was awkward just to hear thatbecause I have so much respect for him."

Fisher may be a 12-year veteran, but he has respect for the rookie.

"I just wanted to let him know, not just because of my daughter and family
experience," Fisher said. "Even just as an athlete, you recognize how many battles you've been through and how hard you have to work to get to his point. Battling cancer, on top of everything, he is to be commended, and I wanted to let him know that's how I felt."

Sources close to the situation contend James Posey would love to be a Laker and that the Lakers are willing to go the full exception to land him

The Elton Brand situation is funny...

I don't think he will, but if he signs with the warriors; it's basically a trade.

If you're the Warriors would you trade B-diddy for Brand? No.

If you're the Clippers, do you trade Brand for B-diddy? No.

lol

Baron is a douche. I don't like him but at the same time I would like him to sign with us so Baron gets owned.

Baron is a smart guy. I'm glad Clips spent money on a guy who is going to tank out every season and have a worn out body in 2 years. Thanks Clip+Baron<3

Fck brand and baron though. We need some lanky hot players like J-Smoove/Iggy..etc

 

[Yankees2772]

Iggy isn't lanky. Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright... Now those are some lanky niggers.

C: Goose
PF: Wright
SF: Randolph
SG: Jackson
PG: Ellis

xD

im glad that fat fck left the team. cap room ftw<3

i doubt we get arenas/brand. i actually hope not now after thinking about it. why waste a <Censored>load money on them when you can get lanky nggers right?

 

[dez]

is "niggers" needed Yankees?

 

[RipCity32]

Enough with the "N" work guys...

 

[Yankees2772]

No, sorry if I offended you dez.

[.snowy]

But yeah, Green to Mavericks, who cares.

 

[yezzir]

And how surprising, Arenas resigns with the Wiz

Supposedly Maggette is signin in san antonio

According to multiple reports this morning Maggette will, indeed, wind up in the Texas Triangle, and he could very well turn out to be the piece that gets his new team a championship. If all goes according to plan, Maggette will finally join the San Antonio Spurs, who were very much in love with him a couple of seasons ago when his last contract came up.

Maggette in SanAn? <3 SOUNDS SWEET

 

[NjNets15]

Nets apparently like Andres Nocioni, SICKK lol he is exactly what we need, a shooter who plays great D,


I feel bad for the bulls though lol they are losing Duhon, Nocioni and possibly Deng

 

[.loggie]

but duhon was pissed last year that he wasnt getting any minutes so they kind of broke off since then. i dont think their worried about duhon at all

 

[Yankees2772]

Nocioni won't do much for the Nets... He doesn't fit for them... He's just like Nachbar with better D.
