NBA Rumors Thread

[godspeed]

NBA likely to add two more Opening Christmas day games.

LA Clippers at Golden State Warriors is likely rumored to be one of the matchups

 

[ralaw]

On the plus side we can just get rid of the NBA All Star game. Most of the guys we want to see are already playing with eachother anyways.

:truestory:

 

[IamMedellin]

so the latest CP3 rumors involve the clippers....


yeah...


oh and LMAO at any knicks fan thinking Ronny Turiaf, Billups, landry fields, and a 2012 2nd round pick will get this done..

Sam Amick: Sources who recently talked to NY & NO were left with 2 strong impressions: Knicks have almost no confidence they'll get CP3 via trade and the Hornets sound resigned to the fact that they will have to trade him somewhere.

Real talk. I rather get Nene and a quality guard then Paul. No more playing Jared Jeffries at fucking center.

Can't afford Nene...:drunk:

Dalembert would be a realistic option for the Knicks.

NBA Rumors: Why Brandon Roy's Knees Should Scare the Chicago Bulls
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...don-roys-knees-should-scare-the-chicago-bulls

Much has been made over the past week about the Chicago Bulls perceived interest in soon-to-be free agent and likely amnesty clause victim Brandon Roy.

While there is a multitude of reasons to be excited about a potential Roy acquisition, provided the Portland Trailblazers use their amnesty clause on the 27-year old, there is much to be worried about including some glaring warning signs.

Roy is considered a likely amnesty clause victim due to concerns over his knees as well as his monster contract, which will net Roy over $47 million in the next three years as well as a $19 million team option in 2014-15.

The most glaring reason the once potential superstar is likely to be cut is concerns of his future as a viable NBA player.

Simply put, the Brandon Roy of old is gone.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Brandon Roy should sit out this year to rest up, and try to make a comeback next season.

 

[FedEx227]

Agreed. He should've never came back in either postseason and instead went with hardcore rehab.

He went the Penny Hardaway route.

Just did the math, and if Paul were to sign with the Knicks he would be losing out on a lot of money. I don't know if the CBA is four or five year deals, so I did the math for both. If he signed a four-year deal with the Knicks, Paul would make $58.19M. If he signed a four-year deal somewhere else (with the exception of New Orleans), he would make $73.27M. If he signed a five-year deal with the Knicks, he would make $74.6M. If he signed a five-year deal somewhere else (with the exception of New Orleans), he would make $93.93M.

In conclusion, he's probably not going to the Knicks.

In conclusion, he's probably not going to the Knicks.

That's where he wants to play though. It's his decision, so why don't we trust his word over yours?

Besides, he would recoup most of that $20 million in endorsement money in NYC if he played his cards right.

Front row floor seats for New Orleans Hornets games cost $54,180 each this season. The cheapest season ticket is $580.

Now that the arena will literally be seasoned by Zatarain's you can bet those prices rise.

That's where he wants to play though. It's his decision, so why don't we trust his word over yours?

If we are gonna use this logic then let's figure what he has said? All that CP has said was a wedding toast years ago in which has helped the media fuel so much speculation. I'm not saying that isn't where he wants to go, but he hasn't really said too much on the subject.

Pacers are supposedly reaching out to Nene and Jamal Crawford.

Happy to see nothing about David West so far.

 

[EmpireWF]

Pacers are gonna give a max deal to Nene?

Not sure about a max but they have reached out to his agent already.
