Thrillers Around the NBA Free Agency Thread(All Rumors and Signings)

LJkAze · 07-01-2012, 01:57 PM

It's going to be so Epic if Nash announce he going to sign in Toronto on Canada Day ^_^

Ataf · 07-01-2012, 01:58 PM

Someone has got to do that to the Knicks/J.Lin. Fuck them over.

Marc Berman ‏@NYPost_Berman
Told Gadzuric has fully non-guaranteed 1.7M contract that could easily be thrown in to bump Nash's number and not cost an asset.

Which means the NYK could offer as much as 7Mil (ish?) i think.

Would Nash get booed here if he took less money to go to NY?

It would be interesting to say the least. And does Nash want to chance that knowing how aware he is of his legacy in Canada?

Cant believe ny would consider giving up landry over this:

5 million less. trust me, he aintgoing there. he already has made it clear he see's cash as a measure of respect for vets. knowing this, no way in HELL he takes 5 million less, for a team that is looking at him as second best behind deron williams. he's looking at it, but i think its a moot point, unless NY has some secret shady BS lined up.

Yes and rightfully so, NY has no chance at the title even with Nash. So turning down extra 5mil from Toronto would definitely piss off a lot of people

Yep, his cap hold though is only 5.4 mil for next year. Of course they can easily go past that after others are signed. I don't think Batum wants to go anywhere though.

I don't think so. Nash is a classy guy and is under no obligation or loyalty issues. I would still cheer and root for him but I will not become a Knicks fan.

No way in 'HELL'? C,mon, if you had a choice would you take Dwill or Nash? It's not close mainly because of age and defense, you take Dwill.

The Grizzlies have offered Ray Allen the full midlevel for two years.

The Celtics are prepared to offer two years and $12 million, but have not formally presented the offer.

That is not a lot after what KG recieved from the Celtics. I'm sure Miami would offer the same as the Grizz but more years than them or Boston. Picking between the 3, I would think F you to Boston, laugh at Memphis and sign in Miami and start winning.

Suns Interested In Fields As Part Of Potential Nash Sign-And-Trade
Jul 01, 2012 2:13 PM EDT

The Suns have expressed interest in Landry Fields should Steve Nash want to sign with the Knicks, according to sources.

Fields would be just one part of a sign-and-trade for Nash.

Fields is a restricted free agent.

How many times will that be posted? What's that 4, 5 now? lmao

Right, they only have the mini-mid level. So can he sign for 1 with a player option for 2 and get a raise next year? Hmm I really don't like Boston and Ray is a big key to their success - that and he doesn't like Rondo. The beauty of Allens situation is he doesn't have agent fees and Miami is tax free state. That won't nulify the difference totally but it certainly will bring them closer together. The team can also offer a front office position or some other business arrangement - there are options.

No idea. Didn't read through. I guess I'll have to point that out for you too since you've never ever done that. Lmao

Pacers must match i guess?

Quote:

The Blazers have reached a verbal agreement with restricted free agent Roy Hibbert.

Portland reportedly offered Hibbert a maximum four-year, $58 million contract.

The Pacers will have 72 hours to match the Blazers’ offer once it’s signed.

Asik to Houston, unless Bulls match.

The Houston Rockets have reached a verbal agreement with Chicago Bulls restricted free agent Omer Asik on a three-year deal worth $25.1 million, according to sources close to the talks.

First nash, then felton?

I dont get it... why are they going after a PG when they have Lin? I thought he was starting according to their coach?

Quote:

The Knicks have a backup plan in the event that Steve Nash rejects their bid in free agency.

Raymond Felton is believed to be plan B for the Knicks, who have the $3.09-million mini-mid-level at their disposal.

Felton shot just 40.7 percent last season with the Blazers, amid rumors he was out of shape.
