Free Agency 2012 Thread

[Brown Notes]

This makes a little more sense. I hope this happens... then Dwight bolts the Lakers.

Dwight is a much better pairing for Gasol than Bynum. That team has potential for 65 wins with him. If they find a dump for MWP and/or can get one of Houston's PFs they are going to look even better. Watch Jackson suddenly reappear. All that guy has to do is crook his little finger and there's his next star laden lineup to keep shoveling success with.

I am very suspicious that if Dwight goes to LA Jackson will return. If he does Howard will extend.

I hate the fact that I can see this happening as well.

Augustin won't sweat to find a team for himself with his 6.4 assists in 29 mins per game stat line.

I would have loved him as our 2nd string point guard over Watson or Tinsley.

Pacers got Gerald Green for 3 years 10 mil, what a steal if he pans out

My understanding of the plan was Dwight to LA, Bynum to Houston, bunch of guys/picks to Orlando.

I believe Houston has talked to Orlando about acquiring Howard directly as well as acquiring Bynum in a 3-way deal that would send Dwight to LA.

Several sources are reporting that Raymond Felton is going back to the Knicks via s sign-and-trade with the Blazers. Now here's an interesting scenario: It looks like the Knicks are dodging the Rockets' efforts to give them the offer sheet they signed Jeremy Lin to. https://blog.chron.com/ultimaterock...s-scour-las-vegas-to-deliver-lin-offer-sheet/

Restricted free agency is a strange beast in the world of professional sports.

If the Knicks do not match Jeremy Lin it will come back to bite them. Looks like Houston has the Asian market under control.

The Suns put in the highest bid for Scoka on amnesty waivers. To make room on the payroll they used the amnesty clause on Josh Childress.

On a side note to this, I'm really glad Childress went to the Suns instead of the Jazz when he came back from Greece. I know the Jazz went after him.

Nothing but upside with a 3/10 deal. Great deal for the Pacers.

Ditto. I thought Childress would pan out to be better.

According to Sam Amick, Aaron Brooks is going to the Kings: As @Thirty2zero - free agent point guard Aaron Brooks - just tweeted, source confirms he has agreed to sign with the Kings.

The Hornets are interested in Ryan Hollins, while the Nuggets are thinking about amnestying the Birdman.

Here's a good one: Per his own twitter, OJ Mayo to the Mavs. Terms not yet known.

Kris Humphries will re-sign with the Nets for 2 years and $24m.

Wow, it just became impossible to re-sign Millsap at a reasonable rate.

 

[Hartsock]

Wow, it just became impossible to re-sign Millsap at a reasonable rate.

Yaaaaa, I don't think I would want to pay over 10 to millsap, but if thats the going rate for a solid PF then you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm thinking he is going to be asking for 13-14 per year for 4 years.

 

[nightmare3983]

I'm sure part of the high value of Humphries' contract is to make up for only offering him a 1-year deal last year, and the fact that New Jersey really needed to re-sign him because of not having many other options for a double-double guy.

I hope not.
