NBA 2012 Off-season Thread

:| Why don't do this to us i hope my gm makes the right decision. I just want Lin back:(

Well, Eric Gordon is off the market. Suns picked him up for 4 year, 58 million. Hornets are expected to match, but it looks like Gordon wants to play in Phoenix.

So if the Nets manage to actually get Howard, they'll pretty much have gone from being one of the worst teams to one of the better teams, in a matter of a couple of weeks? Does anyone else find that ridiculous?

[QUOTE="TheWalkingGhost"]http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/07/03/lakers-enter-fray-for-steve-nash/?ls=iref:nbahpt1 The Lakers seem to want Nash. But from that it seems neither the Knicks or Lakers could offer him much without a sign and trade. The Raptors kinda rained on NY's parade when they offered Fields $20 million. The Mavs also want Nash.-Halftime-

You don't want Nash on the Lakers?! How come?

Might just keep an eye on Chris B's twitter to see if the Bulls match the Rockets offer to Asik. TheWalkingGhost

Good point. You guys might be losing Bynum too (long shot) if the Magic get rid of Dwight, so a younger PG would definitely be necessary then.

So Deron Williams gets 98mil for 5 seasons from Brooklyn

Eric Gordon and Phoenix agreed to a 4 year 56(?)mil offer sheet

Roy Hibbert still has that max offer from Portland hanging around

Steve Nash will re-sign with Phoenix or sign in Toronto, don't think ANY other teams will appeal to him much unless he gets a BIG offer

Jason Terry signs with Boston

Ray Allen & Jeremy Lin are being courted by other teams for some nice money

Gerald Wallce re-signed with the Nets

Andre Miller re-signed with Denver , so did Kia Griffin with LA

Asik will probly be a Rocket

And JR Smith will not return to the Knicks

Is that everything bubbling for now? Or have I missed stuff?

Looks like Phoenix has a solid chance at Beasly.

I swear if we trade Shump for Nash i'm gonna be pissed. We signed James "The Flight" White thats nice he been playing good in Italy. Nash/Lin/Kidd trio?

Nash/Lin/Kidd trio?

What good would having 3 expensive PGs do? At most the Knicks are getting two of those.

If the knicks get Nash they'll have three of the worst defensive players in the league in their starting 5:lol:-Halftime-

I heard he would sign for minimum and he has great size at "6,4" he could play the 2. He is an adept rebounder and still a great defender. Nash and Kidd on the floor doesn't sound too bad.

Yeah but Amare offense sucked last year too only like 18 points. With that training and Nash we will have his maxium potential.

Let's say the Knicks get Nash...what good does that really do? The Heat will still steamroll them. Now I guess that happens in the 2nd round and not the 1st?

I'd rather keep guys like Shumpert and build for the future than get Nash who only has 2 good years at most left. If you trade anything for Nash you should be sure that you'll be a title contender in the next 2 years. The Knicks aren't.

Steve Nash is still arguably the best PG in the lg when you look at what he did with Suns with nobody around him. You can't say we're not title contenders by not looking what we will have on paper. Steve Nash and Amare is a lethal combination. Not only that you have Carmelo Anthony,Tyson Chandler, Novak, Smith, etc. Celtics,Knicks,Heat, maybe Brooklyn should be the frontrunners of the East.

Rockets offer Lin a 4 year 30 million$ contract. Last two years are back loaded at 10 million each.

deuce4eva doing that delusional posting again

Apparently Nash is going to the Lakers now in a sign and trade?

Get rid of one old PG, get another.

I'm talking more about the fact that a couple years ago they had the worst record in the league, and were the laughing stock of the NBA. Now they will potentially have Williams, Wallace, Johnson, and Howard, making them one of the better teams in the East. It just seems weird when I think of it like that. It's not everyday you see a team turn around that fast. At least the Heat were already a good team with just Wade; they didn't completely turn around in a matter of 1-2 seasons like the Nets. It is good management like you said...it just seems crazy.

You guys looked excellent on paper last season, but what happened? The Knicks have all this talent, but can't seem to work as a cohesive team for some reason.

I don't really watch basketball, but all the media has talked about, other than hockey, is about Nash. And I've followed along and after listening to all these people want him, I don't get why, other than being Canadian.

I'm glad he's going to a place like LA and have a chance to win. If he comes here, he has no shot. He wouldn't have helped anything but ticket sales.

Well, I've read that with this trade, they have a good shot to win.

I'm about ready to give up on the NBA. Rockets getting Lin will be the last straw.
