2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

Warriors going after Chandler hard. I don't see why they won't just amnesty Beidrins and clear up more space...

I've heard speculation that the Warriors signing Chandler would go a long ways towards maybe getting Chris Paul to resign with them if they trade for him.

I wonder how much New Orleans would have to take...I've heard Curry and Thompson so far, but its gonna take a lot more than that...probably Ellis...

I've heard Udoh's name come up also.

Staying on topic with the Hornets, they talked to Jamal Crawford this morning and a lot of people believe we are leading the push for him.

 

[DJT]

Lots of teams want Crawford...he'd be interesting on the Hornets.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He would, he doesn't really seem like a Monty Williams type of guy though.

 

[Pugz]

blah. fuck building around monty williams lol. but, on this ill agree. hes not that type of player to forget the coaches system for. he would help any team though.

Caron Butler is meeting with the Pistons on Thursday.
Strange.

 

[Pugz]

i like caron but i dont think we're the best fit for him. hes too old for our team. by the time we would have a team ready to compete he'll be out of the league lmao

 

[RipCity32]

I've heard the possibility of a S&T of Prince to LA for Kaman.

 

[Pugz]

id hate that too. maybe two years ago i would have liked it. lol. he would make us even slower. we need an uptempo big to pair with monroe. one that can run with brandon and stuckey, too. but i do like kaman regardless lol.

 

[cruzg24]

mark stein is based out of Dallas

all his tweets and all of his news are dallas related and it's freaking annoying

same with baseball and jayson stark with his phillies


lol random

Yea, Jayson Stark is a phillies fan. Its so fucking annoying cuz he never says anything bad about them and every time they make a move its always "good."

 

[RipCity32]

I don't even know what I like anymore

I'm caught up on getting Drummond or Davis in the draft.

 

[Pugz]

we wont either. we have it set that we can compete for the 8th seed lmao. we wont tank because of the new ownership and new coaching staff. they dont want them to look bad. dumars needs to get his head out his ass though. fuck

The Lakers and Hornets talked several days ago, league sources told Yahoo! Sports, but it was one of those circuitous conversations that left the sides unclear what it would take to get a deal done, and the talk ended with no formal offers. The Lakers and Hornets expect to speak again this week, sources said. The prospect of Pau Gasol as the primary player going to the Hornets won’t be acceptable, sources said. The Lakers will ultimately be willing to let New Orleans pick its player in the deal – Bynum or Gasol – but New Orleans is determined to get quality, and quantity, in a deal.

Eh...

As we reported today, Chris Paul will face his old team Feb. 17 when Hornets visit Garden on ESPN, new sked sez

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I saw that, as a one time communication major I had no idea you can just make assumptions like that.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Yea I saw that too. That dude's a dick. he always makes stupid assumptions like that. Jumping to assumptions and trying to look super confident.

 

[Mexi]

Eh...

whatttt

 

[jonathanlambert33]

whatttt

Hornets won't trade with the Lakers, yall have nothing very attractive.

 

[Mexi]

i'll be honest, i thought it would be dwight or bust anyways

go ahead and laugh guys, but what im saying is i didnt even think the lakers would go after paul. go ahead and say "lakers wont get dwight" but dont act like they wont try

but nola, dont act like bynum isnt attractive. he's a 20/10 guy on the hornets or magic easily
