2012 NBA Free Agency thread

[elcheato]

@sam_amick: Source with knowledge of Derek Fisher's free agency situation said a return to Oklahoma City is possible, but Cleveland is the frontrunner at the moment. Brooklyn and Dallas are also possibilities. Chicago and New York had shown interest before going different directions (Kirk Hinrich for Bulls and Jason Kidd for Knicks). For Fisher, the Cavs could present a good mix of a significant role and money (though possible terms not yet known) while playing a mentor role to Kyrie Irving.

WHY

 

[RipCity32]

Ben Wallace is coming back.
Roster is at 15 though, so someone has to go.

 

[Pugz]

good news for us. having ben around should help AD a lot.

Boris Diaw has agreed to a two-year, $9 million contract with the Spurs.

this pretty much seals the fate of dajuan.

 

[Pugz]

The Bulls will decline a $3.2 million option on C.J. Watson’s contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.

With roughly $67.3 million of committed salaries for nine players next season, Chicago is looking to clear cap space.

The projected luxury tax line is $70.3 million.

real classy move. wait until the teams that needed a point guard sign the guys they want and then decline his option

 

[Pugz]

The Wizards are giving "renewed consideration" to using their amnesty provision on Andray Blatche.

Blatche is owed $23 million by Washington.

The Wizards want to move on from Blatche and have been unsuccessful in their attempts to trade him.

 

[Rios15]

Blatche is a decent big. He could really help out a team if he gets amnestied. Perhaps his contract was a bit too much for what he provides.

 

[RipCity32]

Rashard Lewis will sign with the Heat tomorrow.

 

[Elite]

Eww

 

[RipCity32]

Are James Jones and Mike Miller expected back?

 

[Pugz]

much needed seat warming.

 

[RipCity32]

That team is going to shoot so many 3's lol.

RT @WindhorstESPN: The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a deal with free agent G Lou Williams (nice hometown pickup for the Hawks) #FerryWorkin'

Ayyee Lou back in ATL

Are James Jones and Mike Miller expected back?

Haven't heard much on James Jones but Mike Miller is pretty much a lock to get amnestied. Wouldn't be surprised if he retired.

I hope James Jones comes back though, he was born in Miami, went to The U, took a discount to stay here in the big off-season they had.

 

[RipCity32]

I can't see Riley doing that to Miller after that epic game 5 lol.

 

[Pugz]

yea he gave a discount then but james jones sucked then and sucks even more now.

 

[Elite]

Still knocks down the 3 like it's nobody's business which is all he's ever been asked to do

 

[RipCity32]

Surprised Brian Scalabrine is still available. Has to be the most coveted FA left?

 

[Hurricane Season]

 

[Elite]

If this was the 2005 Finals we'd be a lock
