The Heat lost by about 40 their first game of the season to the Bulls after winning their Chip.Originally Posted by CP1708
Lamar just brought up a real good (scary) point.
We all questioned their hunger this season after being embarrassed as hell last year.
Can you imagine the lack of hunger this squad could produce next season now that they have that ring?
My God, we could get beat by 50 in our home opener.
This will be a HUGE test for Phil if all the peices come back, how to keep them all hungry. I don't worry about Kobe, I don't worry about Fish, and I think Pau will still be motivated, everyone else on this roster...........I dunno.

Kobe will keep the guys in check. Im sure he knows his team has another year or two to make a run to the Finals again. But I guess we gotta waittil the offseason settles down a bit to see who is coming in or leavingOriginally Posted by JapanAir21

Word.
Pistons have a lot of options for the upcoming year (Boozer, Turkoglu, Odom).
Signing with Detroit, or going to the Pistons in a sign-and-trade: Detroit has Allen Iverson ($21.9 million) and Rasheed Wallace ($13.7) coming off the cap, and would like to get as far as $23 million under the cap, which would give the Pistons the ability to acquire two high-level free agents. Impacting their financial equation will be Kwame Brown's decision this month on whether to pick up his player option of $4.1 million for next season, and Joe Dumars' efforts to move Amir Johnson's expiring $3.6 million deal without taking back an equal contract in return. If the Pistons find themselves stuck with both of those players, their best option to make a pair of impact acquisitions would probably involve moving Tayshaun Prince (owed $21.5 million over the next two seasons) as part of a sign-and-trade deal for an unrestricted free agent, whether it is Turkoglu, Carlos Boozer, Lamar Odom or someone else.

So do you make a sign and trade for Tayshaun if you can't re-sign Lamar?

[h2]Kobe May Opt Out[/h2]
Jun 15, 2009 11:30 AM EST
A report from the Los Angeles Times indicated that Kobe Bryant could opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent July 1st.
Bryant conceivably could depart the Lakers for another team, but that scenario appears highly unlikely.
The club's long term outlook as a perennial title contender will affect his decision, according to sources that spoke with the Los Angeles Times.
The report from the Los Angeles Times indicated that a maximum 'extension' would be for five years and $135 million.
Bryant is not eligible for a full extension because of the Over-36 rule. The cutoff date is October 1st and Bryant's birthday is August 23rd, meaning Bryant could potentially miss out on more than $30 million by just under 40 days.
