2011-2012 official NBA transaction/rumor thread

[Pugz]

wonder who is gonna jump on em.

 

[Mexi]

he'll suck like Splitter

 

[elcheato]

Splitter is one of the better back up bigs in the league

:kobe:

I don't get what makes some guys draft eligible or not.

Why was Goose a FA last year? Why is this Mirza guy a FA?

I always thought it had to do with playing professionally, but wasn't Kanter ruled ineligible because he was a professional? Rubio? And I'm sure many many many other foreigners.

 

[Pugz]

i was just going to ask that question, too.

 

[Mexi]

i think it's age, nola

mozgov was a fa too

 

[elcheato]

Mirza was drafted eligible a number of years ago, and he went undrafted, so he's a free agent now that he's out of his euro contract.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Hm, I wonder if Goose went undrafted as well? I think he's like 26.

Tony Wroten's never going to have a good jumper, it's so broken.

So is Rondo's but he's still a top 5 PG

The point was nola said that his jumper was nothing coaching couldn't fix, but it's not gonna get fixed. I really like Wroten FWIW but his jumper is ASS.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I didn't mean to include his jumper in there, my b.

Sonny Weems will return to the NBA next season. He's a restricted free agent. Celtics, Pistons, Cavaliers and Clippers have shown interest.

This needs to happen, I love Sonny Weems more than one man should love a role player.

 

[Pugz]

id welcome him in detroit. get rid of wilkins, and daye. we have to try and get singler over so i doubt we look at weems.

TIAGO SPLITTER

:skip:

 

[RipCity32]

I don't want Sonny Weems.

:kobe:

I guess Knight has put on 8 pounds since the end of the regular season. And that he and Stuckey have been absolute gym rats together all off-season. Certainly great news.

 

[Pugz]

good news. hopefully both have better seasons.

 

[RipCity32]

Like the fact they are doing it together. Maybe we are looking at Billups-Hamilton v2
Obviously joking though lol. But maybe like their friendship and shit.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Just read the Hornets will match ANY offer for Eric Gordon .
