Shouldn't the Blazers be the favorites next year, ask rRon Artest, Roy > Kobe.

Ron signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers last night

[elcheato]

There was an article that said that wasn't even him posting those updates, so I don't get it.

 

[Pugz]

No it said they weren't true..

 

[elcheato]

Also the Magic really <Censored>ed up with that VC trade. After FA now they basically traded Lee, Alston, Battie, Hedo, Gortat for VC and Ryan Anderson. They have no depth.

 

[Pugz]

Rumors have it Bass will end up it Orlando, Bass>Gortat

 

[Whisper]

Cheato's right. I wonder what Orlando's lineup's going to look like next year.

DH12
R. Anderson
R. Lewis
V. Carter
J. Nelson

or maybe

DH12
R. Lewis
V. Carter
M. Pietrus
J. Nelson

 

[yezzir]

where is Hedo expected to be going? toronto? portland?

 

[elcheato]

I wonder if the Blazers will make Rudy Fernandez available if they get Hedo.

 

[Rios15]

I wonder if the Blazers will make Rudy Fernandez available if they get Hedo.

Toronto would be calling.

 

[elcheato]

According to a league source, the Cavaliers have begun homing in on Toronto Raptors free-agent guard Anthony Parker after both Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza appeared set to go to other teams.

Another source said the Cavs also have spoken to another Raptors free agent, former All-Star Shawn Marion, though it was not clear late Thursday if the two sides had gotten serious. Both players are unrestricted free agents.

Meh, I doubt we can get Marion but I'd love to have him.

 

[Pugz]

If I was Marion I'd go with the Cavs for a 3 year MLE, he'd get back to his all star type ways with Bron.

 

[elcheato]

The problem is, I think the Raptors are going to give him a 3 year 21 million dollar deal if they don't get Hedo, and I'm positive he'd take more money.

 

[Pugz]

Yea he wants more money, but if he'll take the MLE he could go to Orlando aswell.
I think he'll go with Toronto.

 

[elcheato]

I've wanted Marion in Cleveland for, forever lol.

 

[A.E]

The King, The Diesel and The Matrix...that would be pretty sick.

I love this Free Agency so far. Its almost as if LA, Cleveland, Orlando and Boston are all trying to trump one-another.

Kidd said he'll make his decision after this weekend and its looking like he's leaning towards our offer, 3yrs/18mil.

Idk about this move cuts into our 2010 CAP, even though Walsh says we'll have more money then currently reported. And Kidds play really seemed to drop off last year.

We'll see....

 

[VC15]

Kidd will probably sign with the Knicks, now he cares more about the money than winning.

 

[dez]

If that where the case he'd go back to the Mavs, they offered 3yrs/25-30mil. And their going to have more wins.

Ever think about hom just wanting to go back to NY? Cause thats seeming to be the motivating factor.
