2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[.infamous]

Derek Fisher is signing with OKC.

 

[Mexi]

my main man Ronny Turiaf to the Heat
gonna be great seeing him get a ring

 

[SaintFan25]

Source says Portland has been awarded forward JJ Hickson from waivers. Golden State misses out.

Interesting, I didn't see us picking him up.

 

[DJT]

Whoa really Portland? That is surprising. I totally though Golden State had him.

Also Diaw is looking at the Spurs.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol the Hornets broadcast just talked about this. He was WITH Golden State in New Orleans. Team hotel, team bus, all of that. He gets to the Arena and about 40 minutes before tip is told that he has to leave because Portland picked him up on waivers.

 

[RipCity32]

Lmao, that has to suck.

 

[DJT]

Portland is a decent place to go though IMO.

But still. has to suck.

 

[elcheato]

I hope he resurrects his career. He has talent, Sacramento is just not a good environment.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, he did decent in Cleveland, with lots of upside. Then in Sacramento he just stunk. He didn't really get a chance though.

 

[MR.ballin]

Mavericks Waive Sean Williams.

 

[RManske2]

Spurs sign Boris Diaw

Mavs sign Kelenna Azubuike

Pacers sign Kyrylo Fesenko

aw, lets get this going again

Kyle Lowry is saying he might have to be traded with the emergence of Dragic.
not demanding a trade, just saying he doesn't think McHale can play them both

anyways, Pau for Lowry/Martin > _>
maybe get them to throw in Patrick Patterson or Budinger or something. hopefully Patterson if possible

Houston has to sign Dragic first, and I don't know if that will happen and if anybody really thinks he's better than Lowry.

Lowry would make LAL better immediately, though. Unlike Ramon Sessions, he defends. Unlike Ramon Sessions, he's got a decent jump shot that is consistent. Unlike Ramon Sessions, he slashes and finishes every single night.

[CameronCrazy06]

That's a TERRIBLE trade for Boston and LA.

 

[Pugz]

better for la than boston..that deal for Boston is nasty as hell. wtf

 

[bosoxlover12]

I would do that for the Celtics.

4 1st rounders, like $30M in cap, etc... I'd rather rebuild than be average for years to come

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'd rather rebuild with Rajon Rondo than rebuild without Rajon Rondo.
