comparable to Gordon Hayward with less athleticism but very good handle/ability to penetrate off the dribble/Peja Stojagavic/Turkelo, Mike Millerhis shot is Novak 2.0 and off the dribble + jump shot's, 50% 3pter in Europe

At the 1.1m, that would be a complete steal

If they make a swing for Rhondo and keep Lance, with a hungry HIBBERT, that is pretty damn tough

According to an NBA source, the Bulls, during Tuesday’s meetings, floated the idea of Anthony making about $16 million per year across four seasons.

over 5m, wow. I still don't understand why they want to trade isaiah Thomas if they take a player like Collinson. He is probably a little better on D but he is still short in stature.

Also has collision been on 5 teams in 5 years.

He is a good player too. A quality rotation guy.

yea.. but all signs point to him signing there. Rolls eyes. Dear Melo, leave $60mm on the table and piss off your family to come and play with Noah and we super duper promise Derrick Rose who only showed up to welcome you because we have paid him like $30mm over the last two years to play 2 weeks of basketball. I expect him to accept that any day now

Replace the velveteen absorbent headband for a crown of thrones and then ask for his sacrifice!!

Ask not what you can do for your Melo, but what your Melo can do for you!!!

Not smile? Look slim? Cut off the corn rows? Cover his WB tat? Pass the ball? and give up 60 million!!!!

Have to admit, when I saw the 16million figure I had to laugh. I wonder if Melo did?

When the Miami Heat's "Big 3" went their separate ways after a lunch meeting last Wednesday, they went not knowing whether they had played their last game together, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

While Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were committed to returning to the Heat, LeBron James was unsure of what he would do, the sources said.

The only certainty coming out of the meeting concerning James was that he wanted a maximum-level salary.

James did not ask or suggest that Wade and Bosh opt out of their deals or take lesser salaries to allow the Heat to add other top players, according to the sources.

When Bosh and Wade opted out of their contracts a few days later -- joining James who had done so before their lunch meeting -- it was widely assumed the three were working together and would all return to the Heat.

But sources who have spoken with two of the Big 3 said that was not the case. Bosh and Wade are
None of this means James will not return to the Heat, and another season or two for him in Miami seems to be a safe bet, the sources said. But no one, not even the other members of the Big 3, knows what the four-time MVP is going to do.

James's camp has handled this year's free agency much different than it did in 2010. James has hired a new agent since then in longtime friend Rich Paul, and Paul has played it close to the vest.

Paul spoke with clubs interested in signing James beginning at midnight on Tuesday. His responsibility is to share that information with James and then James will decide the next steps.

One similarity between 2014 and 2010 is that James was likewise noncommittal in a meeting with Bosh and Wade before the trio joined forces in Miami that summer.

What are they up to?!?!?!?

So if we'd traded Shump for him, like people on here wanted us to, we would have watched Collinson walk for nothing because we couldn't match that offer (we only have the mini MLE).

Yikes- looks like it's a great year to be a FA lower rung SG!

CrushAlot wrote:Sounds like Indy is trying to upgrade their point guard. Reports of them trying to get dragic or Rondo. Also Collison is negotiating with the Kings.

I don't understand how they would get Dragic- what would they have to offer and why would the Suns want to trade him? I guess they are looking at using Lance as a sign and trade for a PG now.

Gotta wonder if there is a market for JR Smith out there.
