Is Chandler Parson an All-Star all the sudden?

Better than Danillo Galinari.

You people don't even watch the Rockets. Parsons had a bigger impact on most games than any other Rocket and was rounding into form. He pushed for 1st team all rookie. Him and Leonard are basically the same player. Great defenders, decent shooters. Excellent small forwards. Parsons defends both Kobe and Durant very well, and in his one start against LeBron James he defended him probably the best 'Bron had been defended all season.

He's a foundation player, and Morey is far too willing to trade foundation players.

It's hard to believe that the Rockets missed the playoffs with how much you hype up everyone.

Lebron shot 52% and scored 32 points. And was doubled the entire game. That game had no Wade or Bosh


Domerocker might actually lose his award for biggest homer. This is sad.

All-Star point guard Deron Williams has made one decision about his free agency: If the Brooklyn Nets win the No. 1 pick in the NBA's draft lottery on Wednesday night – and the chance to secure Kentucky center Anthony Davis – it won't be enough for Williams to sign a contract extension, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
"It's Dwight Howard or bust," said a league source who has spoken to Williams.

Williams doesn't want to stay with the Nets unless they become an instant Eastern Conference contender and wouldn't accept waiting for Davis' development. The Nets have a 7.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, and sources said the organization would be willing to part with Davis for the chance to pair Howard and Williams for the franchise's move into a new Brooklyn arena next season.

hes gone then....and if they get the pick and trade it then they'll be stuck behind the heat because all their money will be on two stars.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He's def got a real tough decision.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What if the Bobcats got the #1 pick and Michael Jordan fucked it up...

[CameronCrazy06]

[Pugz]

[jonathanlambert33]

Bobcats don't deserve #1, they're TOO bad.

A few tidbits:

Citing NBA officials, Gery Woelfel of the Journal Times reports that the Brooklyn Nets are the front-runners to sign Ersan Ilyasova this offseason. Woelfel expects the unrestricted free agent to command at least $8 million per season in his next contract.

After displaying plenty of upside for brief stretches during his first three seasons in the NBA, Ilyasova finally managed to maintain that pace consistently this past season for the Milwaukee Bucks. In the 28 games after the All-Star break, he averaged 16.1 points and 9.1 rebounds, while shooting 55.2 percent from the field.

If he ends up leaving the Bucks for the Nets, they would presumably plug him in at power forward, replacing UFA Kris Humphries. Assuming they can re-sign Deron Williams and Gerald Wallace, they'd be looking at a starting lineup next fall of D-Will, MarShon Brooks, Crash, Ilyasova and Brook Lopez.

Alonzo Gee had a solid season for the Cavaliers and they will tender him a qualifying offer, thus making him a restricted free agent beginning July 1.

According to Bob Finnan of The News-Herald, a source says the Phoenix Suns like Gee and they might offer him a four-year, $16 million contract with the hope the Cavaliers would not match it.

Gee started 31 games and averaged 29 minutes this past season. He also averaged 10.6 points and 5.1 rebounds.

A source also tells Finnan there's a 70 percent chance Steve Nash leaves the Suns and signs with another team.

The Chicago Bulls want to upgrade the point guard position and according to CSNChicago.com, a source says they will target free agents Jason Kidd and Steve Nash.

Derrick Rose has begun his recovery from ACL surgery and he might return by the All-Star break in 2013, although he could also miss the entire season.

Kidd is likely to re-sign with Dallas, although he may decide to move on to the Nets or Heat.

Nash might be offered a two-year, $20 million contract from the Suns. The Blazers, Heat, Knicks and Raptors will all likely to a run at the veteran point guard.

Sam Amico adds Andre Miller to the list of potential point guards the Bulls may target. Amico also mentions Chicago may go after free agents Nick Young and Carlos Delfino.

Synopsis:

- Nets frontrunners for Ilyasova
- Suns planning to offer Gee 4 yr/16 mill
- Bulls targeting Nash/Kidd

nets better hope that they sign more players. im sure crash WITH irsan still isnt enough to keep deron.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Just a thought here.


Who would benefit more off this trade:
Howard, Anderson for Granger, Hibbert, 2012 1st


Indiana can start both Collison and Hill at the guards, and have a very solid frontcourt with George and West at the forward and Dwight at center. Have Anderson to play SF incase Collison doesn't work out.

And Granger fits that 3PT shooting offense they have, and Hibbert is a great replacement for Dwight

Orlando benefits more because Dwight would never stay in Indy
