SOB. Can't hate him for it but damn.

JR in South Beach sounds like a lot of fun though.

I took his comment as his prediction. This can't be true? What purpose would JR serve when Ray Allen is probably going to stay with the team? I assumed Smith would just sign with the team that offers him the most money.

[Argath]

That cant be true. I thought the heat didnt even have enough money to keep the players they have now.

[Primetime]

It wasn't fact. Just playing around. Heat can sign one player for 3.2 million with the low level exception.

Deal for Eric Bledsoe sounds like its close.

Sounds like Bledsoe and Caron Butler for Aaron Afflalo, Andrew Nicholson, and a future first round pick (surely, protected for years).

[Primetime]

I don't like it for the Clippers, I think they could have gotten more for Bledsoe.

Wojo tweeted this about a potential blockbuster to send KG & Pierce to Brooklyn

Possible Nets package includes expiring deal of Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Tomike Shenglia and three first-round picks, sources tell Y!

Boston blowing shit up.

Why the fuck do the Celtics want Gerald Wallace?

Dwight Howard reportedly unlikely to re-sign with Lakers; plans to meet with Mavericks, Rockets and Hawks

Its ESPN so...

They blew it up two years too late. Vomit at Humph and Wallace.

[Primetime]

I'd love to see him on the Rockets.

Dwight should go to Houston. He and Asik would give the Rockets the best paint defense in basketball. He can be the MAN while also having one of the leagues best players on the team in James Harden who can do all the scoring while Howard still "gets his". Rockets are already a playoff team...Howard isn't being asked to save the franchise, he'll be asked to add to the franchise and Houston will adore him. There isn't a ton of media pressure playing in Houston.

Best place for Dwight is Houston.

It was my understanding that Asik would have to be moved in order to make room for D12. I could be wrong.

Lakers are fucked, they have all kinds of money to spend but they don't have cap space to add anyone.
