2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[CameronCrazy06]

Guys to make it even worse LA also gave up Aaron McKie in the deal. Gosh Memphis raped em...

 

[DJT]

Oh gosh. Just realized that since Chandler won't be back for Dallas that opens the door for Ian Mahinmi Yesssss!

I also heard Dallas offered Chandler to Orlando in a S&T for Dwight lol

Dallas is now looking at Brandon Wright possibly...

 

[Mexi]

lol its funny because everyone is always talking shit about pau

now he's back to being a superstar

 

[elcheato]

I've maintained he is one of the two best PFs in the NBA.

 

[DJT]

Pau is not back to being a superstar...

Eddy Curry is getting another chance.

The Miami Heat will sign Curry on Friday in time for training camp, sources told ESPN.com.

The Heat, who are in the market for help at the center position, have been monitoring Curry for months and considered signing him at one point last season. Curry has maintained a relationship with LeBron James for several years and has been focused on getting ready for Heat training camp all summer and fall, sources said.

Curry has only played 10 games over the last three years, as he's battled various injuries and weight issues. He did not play in the league last season, though he was traded from the New York Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of the Carmelo Anthony deal.

In his last full season, 2007-08, Curry averaged 13.2 points and 4.7 rebounds in 59 games for the Knicks. He's been a controversial player because of his struggles after signing a $60 million deal with New York in 2005.

Earlier Thursday, the Heat got a commitment from free agent wing Shane Battier, which will likely be their big free agent move of the year. Brian Windhorst is an NBA writer for ESPN.com.

I swear to based gawd if hornets really take Scola/Martin and some picks to get Cp3..I'll be so fucking livid

 

[DJT]

If Rockets land Pau, they will try harder for Nene....

 

[elcheato]

Also, I question the Rockets sanity to involve themselves in a deal that helps the Lakers get CP3.

 

[The Young One]

Kevin McHale is involved...He wants a All-PF team

 

[Mexi]

If Rockets land Pau, they will try harder for Nene....

maybe marc gasol

 

[DJT]

Also BIllups is pissed about the possibility of getting amnesty'd. He won't be happy with the waiver wire either, and wants to chose his own team.

 

[The Young One]

But honestly if I were the lakers..I wouldn't pull the trigger on CP3 so fast when you could potentially get D12

 

[DJT]

maybe marc gasol

They would if possible. But he's 100% going back to Memphis.

 

[DJT]

But honestly if I were the lakers..I wouldn't pull the trigger on CP3 so fast when you could potentially get D12

Yeah, i'd rather have Dwight.

But I guess to their reasoning, if they can get CP without using Bynum, they can get Dwight with Bynum...

I feel bad for billups. Dude is still a nice pg and is getting tossed around like its nothin.

 

[Mexi]

But honestly if I were the lakers..I wouldn't pull the trigger on CP3 so fast when you could potentially get D12

if they get paul without giving up bynum or odom, you know what's next

 

[RipCity32]

It's okay. He will be back in Detroit soon.

 

[DJT]

DeJuan Summers signs with the Hornets...or will sign.

See look Dumars didn't bring everyone back!

 

[Mexi]
