2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[Elite]

Didn't even see that part <_<

Hmmm...wonder what the Rockets will send back? The Grizzlies don't really need anything other than a center assuming Gasol is leaving...

 

[RipCity32]

I don't understand why they'd even consider not bringing Gasol back.

Gilbert Arenas is now an unrestricted free agent after no teams bid on him following Orlando's decision to use their amnesty clause on him, according to sources.

Arenas hopes to join Dwight Howard wherever he is traded, according to sources.

Miami is also a team that would interest Arenas.

JJB signs with Minny D:

Memphis will keep Gasol...they won't trade him.

I hope that Mayo for McRoberts deal goes down lol. Great for the Pacers.

The Mavericks are attempting to clear Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer from their cap, according to a source.

Fernandez was acquired at last June's draft from Portland.

Hmmm wonder who will make an offer. I'd want both guys...

 

[RipCity32]

I wouldn't doubt Rudy going overseas like he's wanted.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

If Arenas goes to Miami...

This league sucks, why couldn't they get it right with the new CBA?

Hard cap, no sign and trades, no MLE.

 

[DJT]

Depending on where Rudy winds up, he might want to go back.

He was excited to be on the Mavs...feel bad for him.

 

[RipCity32]

Arenas sucks though lol.

Billups>>>>Arenas on that team.

 

[Pugz]

billups and gil for the vets min to miami. ha

 

[DJT]

Billups will be real nice. Gil could nail some big shots for em...but not as necessary.

 

[RipCity32]

Honestly wouldn't doubt if they do get both like Pugz said haha.
They both are already making so much, they would certainly settle for the vets min.

 

[Pugz]

as soon as i seen that they were both waived i thought theyd both end up in miami. billups will for sure as long as he doesnt get bid on.

 

[DJT]

Did anyone mention that Kurt Thomas signed with Portland??? If not here it is.

 

[RipCity32]

I hope he does.

If the Clippers get Paul they might amnesty Mo Williams. Look for him to be speculated for Miami as well lol.

 

[elcheato]

Does Miami even have cap space to bid on the amnesty players?

 

[Pugz]

i dont think mo would be waived. they wouldnt have a backup point and they could use him as trade bait if they keep him.

 

[RipCity32]

Does Miami even have cap space to bid on the amnesty players?

Nah, but Gilbert cleared waivers, and Billups is likely too as well.

 

[elcheato]

I wouldn't bother with Gilbert, but I'd look into Billups and Mo for sure.
