I still can't see the landing spot for Lance besides the Pacers, maybe the Lakers.
2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

09 season remains as one of the greatest seasons from any guard in the history of the league.
His game at the Garden made me cry tears of joy, just outstanding.

The Zbo extension was not too bad, but I still think his on the court value is very overrated. At the end of the day, I knew we were going to keep him so to get him on that type of contract was okay....I guess.

Bosh should just man up and get a good big contract elsewhere if Riley won't give it to him

Thats a huge paycut considering hes not a free agent
Tim and Manu were free agents, they didnt walk away from that much money
But I doubt the Heat would give him a 5 year contract

Actually forgot the Mavs had $3MM to work with. I'm no CBA expert, but looks like for Rondo's salary ($13MM), we can receive 100% + $5MM = send out $8mil? Looks like that works.Felton and B wright for Rondo works financially.Cuban throws in future picks and cash too to sweeten the deal.
Rondo and Ellis in the backcourt could be tough due to the lack of shooting, but Rondo's D, both of their playmaking abilities, and Carlisle's coaching could equal success. Pipe dreams..

The Heat could actually reduce their risk exposure by using the Stretch Provision towards the end of his contract.

LA need to just take the risk and overpay Lance, try to grab Gortat or Ariza (preferably Gortat but he gonna want that bag) and Patty Mills.
Lance & Kobe would be prime theatre.

Calderon was a juicy steak for opposing athletic guards.

what if LA signs Lance and Bledsoe? And just make ends meet at center to a better big comes along? Washington would be foolish to let Gortat leave, but you can't overpay him either.

how many big back courts can even take advantage of that mismatch?

i thnk riley would... he already said he wants wade the be a heat for life..... and granted it is a 30% haircut... but less be honest the heat are being nice to wade... wade isnt getting a mx deal in the free market... nor would he get a long term big payout deal in the free market.
No team is paying wade 20-22 for 2/3 yrs.... and no team is paying him 13-15 for a 5/6 yr deal. I mean to be honest the heat kinda have wade by the balls if they wanted to play it that way. They really could force the issue and call him on his bluff...on some ok well take 12 from us 5 yrs, or go out and see if you can get 20-22/23 a yr or 2/3 yrs in the free market.
Thing is riley etc... have love/respect for the man and dont wanna do him that way. But if it got axx to grass i wouldnt be surprise if riley and co. pushed the issue.

Not many, imo. Rondo is a great defender. Ellis is.. average to below average. The only issue here is floor spacing in the backcourt due to the lack of 3 point shooting.

Rondo isn't a great defender but he always played bigger than his size

Wade deserve the statue outside AA arena.
Should be the pic of him smiling at Lance.

They aren't being nice to him
Its a mutual being nice to each other because Wade has the Heat by the balls too for the next 2 years.

If Wade did that he'd be a fool
It would have to be a 6 year deal

lol its kinda funny but f' up... in theory wade deserves more, but lets be real no one would trade for wade, nor would they be willing to offer him a big contract short term... or a balloon type payment long term.I could see pat offering wade 10 mil if he opts out and wade being forced to take it
Thats what kills me about the lakers. As much as i respect kobe and all, the lakers easily couldve forced his hand.... Kobe wouldnt get 50 mill in the free market. But the lakers didnt want to risk losing that fanbase/tv deal... but with wade.. if you keep lebron, lets be real wade would be an afterthought

The potential Pat scum bagging is there. I think that's the reason wade and bosh dont wanna deal with it

With 21 mil in cap they better not overpay for him. But I don't want him and PJ fighting in practice over a hard foul

There's zero chance wade or bosh opt out to resign smaller deals, and pat stiffs then when they opt out. Zero.
