[The Young One]

Haislip is a athletic freak....he could be looked at as a steal.

 

[Pugz]

Yea, Marcus will help them a lot. And if Sheed still wants to start and really loves Pop like he's said he'll go to San An.

 

[RipCity32]

Marcus will help them a lot? Why lol.
Hasn't proven anything in the NBA and his been over-seas for 4 years. Though I guess he had solid numbers in Spain.

Bass supposedly has a 5yr/25mil offer from some unknown team.

 

[VC15]

That seems like a bit too much for him.

 

[Pugz]

Magic prolly offered that..

 

[MapleLeaf]

the guy from ball don't lie on yahoo just tweeted

RT @EricPincus: RT @NBA_Rumors_News: Bobcats offer $25 mil to Brandon Brass according to the Charlotte Observer.

 

[Pugz]

The Cat's offered him that



Wow lol, a team that is losing soooo much money offers a long term deal to a career 6th man?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Don't hate on Bass......he played great when he stepped on the floor....he was always Dirk's backup so he never got to play that many minutes. He can be a good quality starter IMO, poor mans Milsap

 

[Pugz]

He's decent and yes on a lottery/8th seed type team he can start and be good. But really, he's a 6th man AT BEST.

And I'm not hating, I like him.

"the guy" is je skeets to you good sir.

 

[MapleLeaf]

yeah i know his name, i just didnt know if everyone did so i just posted what blog he works for so people would know

 

[dez]

The article I read on realgm said Charlotte wasnt the team that did it, I wouldnt be surprised if they did though.

Theyre accustomed to moves like that.

But they are trying to save money. That's why I don't think they would offer this..

[dez]

I dont think they did niether, but wouldnt be surprised if they did lol

ESPN's Ric Bucher used his Twitter page to apparently break the news that Jason Kidd is staying in Dallas.

"Kidd is staying in Dallas. Three years, $25 million-plus," Bucher wrote late Sunday night.

Thank GOD

We need to put our money towards younger talent, we would have taken a step back signing Kidd to that deal, we should go after Sessions with that money instead.

 

[Pugz]

I think if Milwaukee wants to develop Brandon right they need to let him start and rid them selves of Ramon. But I'm not sure if he'd go to NY for the MLE..

 

[dez]

Yeah I know its a long shot, he's sign for the MLE

But maybe a S&T with Lee???

They do need another bigman alongside Bogut, just throwing ideas out there...

 

[MapleLeaf]

Great job resigning Kidd.....if we didn't get him we would be f'ed at the PG position with Barea and Beaubois THIS year, and they are the future, they aren't ready to take over the reigns for a team that still wants to be competitive in the West. And Kidd will continue to mentor the young guys <3.

Now it's time to work on trading Stack and possibly Damp for that 2-guard we need.

EDIT: the 3rd year is not guaranteed, 3rd year is a team option
