2012 NBA Free Agency thread

[Elite]

Jason Kidd is going to the Knicks, not the Mavs

 

[Pugz]

i made a thread already lol

 

[The Young One]

demar is falling under the mayo type hype.

He needs to reach out to Tim Grover or a legit shooting coach. Tim works miracles with players.

i made a thread already lol

Just saw that now, I'm way late lol

I saw the thread start off with Jason Kidd and just assumed it was the Mavs one in the View New Content thing

 

[Pugz]

yea ima close the other one.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Too late, I just deleted it.

 

[Pugz]

i noticed ha. thanks <_<

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol I at first was going to merge it but figured that wouldn't make any sense.

Anyway, sounds like EJ is basically mad because we wouldn't give him max money straight up.

 

[Pugz]

i wouldnt be offended if the team wanted the market to set your worth. i knew itd happen though. they do it to get out of paying their bird right max.

 

[RipCity32]

At least Rivers will be able to start at the 2

He's getting his max money either way, so I don't see why he's butt hurt that the Hornets wouldn't straight up give it to him. Like you said, let the market set your worth.

"They drafted another shooting guard, a combo guard like me, which tells me they have another plan," Gordon said.

Does he know what a combo guard is? And hasn't Monty said he see's Rivers as a PG down the road, even before we drafted him?

"Phoenix signed two other young guys that are very talented," he said. "They're already established and they're already going to get better."

Michael Beasley?

:turrible:

 

[The Young One]

I thought you said Gordon gave them the Go on drafting Rivers.

 

[Pugz]

well dragic/ej/beas is actually a nice future base. shot heavy though. and the max from new orleans would have been more money and years correct? maybe he feels they dont wanna risk giving him that.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's what 247 said, they're always right with their sources.

Guess they were wrong on that one though.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yeah, but he's obviously satisfied with the PHX match. Which in the end he'll get from NO.

And Dragic/EJ/Beasley or Rivers/EJ/Davis

I know which one I'd take. I will say Phoenix has more vets, but I think the Hornets future is more bright than Phoenix. And a Hornets team with Gordon is around a Phoenix team with Gordon next year, imo. Maybe better depending on how Davis/Rivers/Aminu/Vasquez develop over the course of the year.

 

[elcheato]

Just because Monty Williams sees him as a PG down the road, doesn't mean he is, because he's not.

 

[lonesomefx]

Eric Gordon? A combo guard?

:what:

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Your reasoning clearly isn't the same as his though. EJ wants to be THE GUY.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Just because Monty Williams sees him as a PG down the road, doesn't mean he is, because he's not.

So I should value your opinion over Monty's?

Jeremy Lin is getting that $$$$$$$$$$
