2009 Free-Agency Thread

[dez]

Before the season ended I though AI would consider making a move back to Philly.

Is the same owner there?

Either way, I still wanted AI in NY for a year lol

 

[Mexi]

lol

OJ, Rudy, AI, Z-Bo!?


wow. nothing but chuckers.

sorry Marc, you'll never see the ball again.
Conley, idk what to tell you bro

 

[The Young One]

Pat croce isnt involved if thats what you mean. Thats what I last heard but idk for a fact.

Iverson would mess up the chemistry. He should go to miami if they are really interested.

OJ isnt a chucker mexi

 

[elcheato]

Conley needs to go else where, I can't stand to see him in Memphis.

 

[dez]

Conley should love it lol, all he has to do is pass now.

No reason he shouldnt get 8+APG, even if he comes off the bench lol. Im gonna have to get League Pass this year. So I can watch the Grizzlies and more then just the 2-4 games a year I see of my Knicks lol

 

[Mexi]

eh, i just dont like OJ

this could get ugly for memphis.
or uglier.

and i agree with cheato for once.
conly deserves better. he's improved a ton since his rookie year.
with AI, he'll never touch the ball again especially with OJ, Rudy and Zach

 

[elcheato]

You can't get 8 assists per game when you're passing to guys who hold the ball. It's not like he is going to be setting them up for wide open shots and dunks.

Joke?

Didnt see all the "lol's"?

 

[The Young One]

Conley played better at the end of the year...he still isnt anything special imo. He still could be a starter in the league though. Idk i never liked his game. I wanted the grizz to draft Rubio and deal conley.

 

[Mexi]

conley from the corner 3 is unconscious
he really improved his 3pt shooting overall.

i like him.
i hated him in college. thought he was a reach at 3, but he's good.

 

[dez]

Mexi could you change FPS's "Mavs Eye Marion" to "Marion To Dallas In 3way Deal" or something like that since its all about official now?

Might grab more attention that way lol

 

[elcheato]

If he was actually given an offense to run at PG, unlike in Memphis where he has to secede to Rudy and Mayo all the time, he could do very well. He has improved his jump shot a ton, that was basically his only weakness going into the draft..

 

[Pugz]

Good to see Dyess going to San An, this also means Detroit is going to likely try hard for Bass.

 

[The Young One]

San An is still right there with the la in my eyes.

 

[MapleLeaf]

From realgm.com

Dan Fegan told ESPN that his client Anderson Varejao came to agreement with the Cavs on a six-year contract of $50 million dollars.

Did the Cavs really just give Varejao over 8 million dollars a year for the next 6 years?

 

[elcheato]

It seems just as bad as giving Gortat 5+ mill per year for 5 years. That set the price for big men. Being a proven player he wanted/deserved more then that.

 

[RipCity32]

Varajao deserved the MLE, but not about 3 million over that.

I think 30 million for 5 years would of been suitable.

 

[elcheato]

There had to have been something else involved in this. Maybe an overseas team willing to offer the same deal or more. Or a team with cap space left. We can't afford to lose Varejao, he will be starting at PF.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah your most likely right, and if that's the case then I suppose it's a solid sign.

Just like Gordon with Detroit, had to overpay him a little bit to guarantee we got him.

 

[Pugz]

They did overpay, but Anderson is a good role player and helps that team a lot.
