Stephen A Smith has said Lebron would like to join Melo with the Knicks

and he recently reported, according to his "sources", Melo wants to opt out final year and go to the Lakers

probably just hogwash

2nd year on Bynum's offers from Cleveland is a team option I think...and they also signed Earl Clarke; I'd assume he's ahead of Gee on the depth chart...possibly even start at the 3.

So... with MWP gone who do we have left for the Lakers as of now?

Kobe, Pau, Nash, .... ????

Nash is unreliable and can't play D. Kobe probably won't come back until Christmas with his injuries. Is it safe to say the Lakers will be the new Clippers team in the old days? :(

^obviously lakers are prepping for next july already, they only have nash on contract for 2014/15

gonna be interest when you got melo, james, wade, and bosh all with player options next summer

doubtful wade will leave miami unless its for CHI but it would be nice to see lebron with the lakers winning a championship for kobe :lol

Hopefully that will have lakers fan behind him and have kobe leave him on good words after retirement.

aging kobe gasol lebron > wade bosh lebron

Wade will retire a heat. I don't see him leaving whatsoever
If lebron somehow opts out, i still think it will be to cavs and all the heat fans now will turn to diehard cavs fans :badpokerface:
Bosh... Who cares about this guy...lol. I don't see him leaving Miami next year as I don't see any other team that would pay him 20m and 22mill a year if he opts out
I can see Carmelo with the greatest chance to opt out but could he get equal to 23million he wud make ?

Uhh I don't see LBJ going to the Lakers.

From a shoe game perspective, Nike probably will be the first to object. Same colourway for Kobe 10 and LeBron 12? Lawls

Miami core is not going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens. Melo is a maybe depends on how the season pans out. Lakers's best bet is landing a great pick.

Whatever Bron said about playing for his hometown is not very relevant. You should realize how difficult it is to assemble a team capable of winning multi-championships like Miami and not one-hit wonders.

It's pretty obvious wade/bosh will not leave. Who else would pay them the amount they'll make in miami for the remainder of their contract lol

And as for building a championship...it's easy to do if u have wade/James/bosh and players taking discounts to try and get a championship.

You don't think nobody would take discounts to play with lebron,Irving,Thompson etc if LBJ moved back? Without lebron, Miami is nothing as wade has slowed down tremendously and bosh is inconsistent. They'll be a playoff team but that's it

If lebron doesn't opt out then I definitely see him leaving after his contract is up

I'm not hating but just my opinion

Edit: why are we even talking about this lol. It's so far from today. Who knows. Maybe he'll wind up in Brooklyn and his buddy Jay Z lol

lol kobe and melo on the same team

who can chuck the most? :lawl:

bynum to cavs. brb bowling.

Only 6 mil out of the 12 mil in the first season of bynums deal is fully guaranteed. 2nd year is a team option so he would probably get cut if he can't stay on the court.

Melo is an all east coast guy. Grew up in Baltimore, wanted to go to NYC cuz for many reasons, one is the East Coast thing.

Teague will sign a 4-year, $32-mill offer sheet from Milwaukee; I expect the Hawks will match.

LOL @ Dwight.. he said if he was to re-sign with LA they would have to amnesty Kobe, get rid of Pringles, Gasol, and Nash and then sign CP3

Also... LA assembling the all NBA rape team

@KBergCBS: Nick Young has agreed to a deal with the Lakers, agent Mark Bartelstein says.

@mcten: Lakers have reached agreement to bring back Jordan Farmar on one-year, vet min deal. Must negotiate buyout w/ Turkish team first

inb4 Ariza/Odom/Sasha

fuck dwight that guy will never win a championship.

Nets got AK47.

Dwight continues to amaze me, obviously he's a genuinely nice guy, but just as stupid and uninformed, I really wonder what his circle of entourage looks like, bunch of fuckin yes men.... his court mentality is he's still stuck in that prime Orlando Finals Dwight where he could just jerk off in the low post all game long and they would spoon feed him
and because his whole world revolves around this, he's out there looking for another Orlando Magic, another team that will make him the center of not just attention every single second he's on the floor...... NBA doesn't work like that for the most part bro, grow the fuck up and you'll start winning chips.... like Shaq said, "the day I stopped caring.... I started winning chips"


really excited about Doc coaching Clippers, excited they dumped Chauncey he was done last year, NOT at all liking the fact they gave up Bledsoe, makes no sense as their #1 priority for a while has been is to have an elite perimeter defender, and they had that in Bledsoe... so to get rid of him to acquire another shooter when they really don't need help shooting or scoring the fuckin ball, it's an obviously wrong move....

I FINALLY FINALLY hope now that D'Andre Jordan can get his shit together and be a solid double double guy like Asik was in Houston this year, this is exactly what the Clippers need for them to make a deep playoff run.... Vinny fcked with Jordan's minutes constantly so hopefully Doc lets him loose

Bledsoe was gone after this season, they had to get some good value for him while they could....Reddick and Dudley are great players and will be big pieces for their deep run. Great trade IMO. Reddick is a smart player and a dead-eye shooter, while Dudley is an athletic wing who is solid defensively.

3.1 Million over 2 years :badpokerface: Prokhorov either has AK47's family in a Siberia prison camp or there's an under the table agreement with him getting more assets in Russia, where the NBA has no jurisdiction.

Nick Young to the Lakers for 1-year vet minimum. They need someone to take all the fadeaways and dumb shots without Kobe for the first couple of months.

Mwp got waived =[

....$3.1-mill for 1 year.....second year is a player option...

Well said g-spec. Dwight didnt know he had it good with Van Gundy.
Posted via RS Mobile

Agreed.. How could any clipper fan not like this trade at all.. Reddick/Dudley instantly made them better than what Bledsoe would IMO.

And seeing how the Heat have been doing (outside of the big 3) we all know how important the 3pt game is nowadays..
