Surprised that Salmons is back with the Bucks. Especially after signing Maggette. Blake will be a solid addition to the Lakers. Three back up pg's though? Farmer, Brown and now Blake?

Farmar is a FA and wont be back.

Where did you get that info?

 

[vivo87]

Yeah apparently Pacers are really interested in Farmer

 

[Ja$e]

Its the whole reason why Lakers got Blake, Farmar wants out, prob sick of playing behind Fisher, without Fisher, I reckon Farmar would be a bit more like Rondo.

Sources: Shaq Weighing Hawks Offer -- NBA FanHouse

Free-agent center Shaquille O'Neal is seriously considering a two-year deal with the Hawks that starts at the mid-level exception of $5.8 million, according to NBA sources close to both the team and the future Hall of Fame player.

 

[ozballer23]

Good news for the Hawks if they secure the big Diesel. Will add to presence in the paint. Hopefully JJ and Smith don't go anywhere!

Yeah but the Suns don't have Dwight Howard in their Division. I think this is the main reason for pursuing Shaq. The Hawks don't have the size to handle DH which showed in the 2nd round. They are just probably looking for 20 mins a game and the ability to slow down DH.

That would make sense. He would be useful that way, but he's past the point where he used to be a power house scorer.

Definitely, he isn't putting up 20-10 again! More like 10-5.

 

[ozballer23]

If you did get 10-5 from him in 20 mins, that's money well spent. His presense in the paint will be more valuable than anything else!

 

[shrimpynz]

So if Shaq does go to the hawks he will be 40 when his contract expires?? Gotta give him some credit for still pulling in the interest from other teams at his age. He is a legend and I would love to see him play on for a few more seasons.
