Free Agent Rumors Thread

While I love Lance, he's the type of player that needs some solid vets to keep him from killing your locker room. Hell, even PG had issues with him. Lance would cause all kinds of problems and mess with our tender, young squad.

Those who think we even have a small chance at Parson's are not listening. He opted out (Rox released him) to help the Rox position a deal for Melo/LeBron. He's waiting for that to flesh out and he'll act on the deal the Rox have already worked out for him. He's not an option.

Yeah... Parsons is not a "real" free agent... I would try to pull a Boozer with him though and offer him more than the Rox would.
 
Stephenson will end up in LAL or Hou or NYK depending on who misses out on the Lebron, Carmelo recruiting tour.
 
Well, it's karma. Different owner, but we screwed Cleveland by signing Boozer. They thought they had an "understanding" Boozer would re-sign if they let him out of his contract. But he took the money and ran.
 
Bye bye Gordy!

Good. Now we can finally start Burks at SG and sign a player who can actually shoot (Parsons) at SF. Parsons is already a far better player.

Addition by subtraction IMO.
 
I'm wondering if Gordon does in fact go sign and trade with them if there was some sort of "tampering" done during the draft trade time-frame?? It would all depend on what Utah got back and also sent out of course.

How are the Rockets going to afford Parsons at $12 million and a add Lebron at the Max?

He started fights with teammates? Boohoo. I want a guy like that who's gonna challenge our soft players.

There is a difference between healthy disagreements and constant fighting with your teammates. He's a selfish stat whore and whoever signs him will likely regret it. Remember this last year was "good" Lance. He has little incentive to be good once you give him $50 M.

Risky title contenders aren't touching him... why would we?

If we decide to let Hayward leave we don't need to make a panic move like overpaying Lance or Ariza. Find a fill in at small forward... it's not like we are going to the playoffs this year with or without one of these guys.
 
Lance is a guy that is fun to watch when he is on another team. When he's on your team....

We have a fill in at small forward his name is Rodney Hood.
 
Why aren't more people pissed at Hayward for signing a MAX deal instead of negotiating with Utah? Sorry but Hayward doesn't want to be in Utah. He wants to be closer to Indy. Yet he gets very little criticism? What he gets is the majority of people pining for him to stay.

Exactly find another guy with some upside... Aminu, Jordan Hamilton, etc. and roll with it.
 
CLE or BOS could probably steal Hayward away if they offer the max. They need to be careful with anything less, though. They lose use of the $ if they sign him to a big offer sheet until the Jazz decide to match/not match. Could seriously impede their ability to sign other big FA's.
 
I just got mad (again) that we let DeMarre go last year. DeMarre would be perfect... plays hard, always ready, not such a force that Hood wouldn't see any time.

I like Hayward and wish him the best wether that is in Utah or some where else. I just hope that if it is somewhere else the jazz work a sign and trade.
 
I would like a real SF. A SF who has a long wingspan and can play defense and hit the 3. Hood is the same size as Hayward. 6'8 with a 6'8 wingspan.

Mo Harkless hopefully so we can work a 3 team trade.

Trevor Ariza is exactly what we need except he is old. lol 28 is ancient for the Jazz.

Pretty sure Hayward cares more about the dollar figures it has nothing to do with hating Utah and wanting to be close to Indy. I'm sure most of us would chase the money if we were in the same situation.
 
If Gordon leaves and Utah gets nothing in return they would have something like 30 million in the cap. Why not offer some of the big names and win now? If you could get a couple studs in free agency you could make some noise next year. This could be dogging a big bullet.
