Official 2012-13 Offseason thread - trades, rumours, etc

He'd be STUPID to leave LA... It's almost a perfect situation for a PG! 3 quality big men in Griffin, Odom & Jordan and an exceptional back-up in Eric Bledsoe.

Thats true, i'd hate it if he left after just one season

He and the Clippers did a fine job last season
 
Hibbert to sign Blazers $58m max offer sheet. pacers can match
Pacers will match. The only pity is it uses up more cap space than I think Indiana would have originally hoped. Damn, so no Eric Gordon (I know it was never going to happen, but while we had loads of money, there was always a small chance), maybe still Brandon Roy or OJ Mayo are possibilities? Fingers crossed.

Just like everyone else here, Dwight Howard is really starting to annoy me. The constant changing of his mind, he's worse than my wife :whistle: . How can someone get older, and dumber at the same time? He started out as a bit of a clown in his early years, which I must admit was entertaining, but his trade demands are now out of control. If I was the rest of the league I would have to be asking myself, do I really want to give up a whole pile of assets to get him and then have to be the one that puts up with his child-like antics?

On KG, I would have liked to have seen a two year deal, but I agree with an earlier comment that he will only play 2 and get paid out the third, and I dont really have a problem with the money. Anyone who watched Boston in the playoffs this year would have to be confident that KG could do similar for another season, then in the 2nd season he will very likely be sharing (possibly even 50/50) his minutes with Sullinger and Fab Melo (my favourite name from this years draft, seriously who calls their kid FAB???) and only playing around 24 minutes a game, but imagine how intense he would be for those 6 minute bursts :mad:.
 
^ Yeah, I'm not sure if I like that deal or not, from either side. Obviously the Hawks are shaping up to spend on someone, but they lack quality front court players (Radmanovic & Stackhouse SFs, and Smoove & Ivan Johnson as PFs). They got stuff all from Brooklyn, and with Jeff Teague as their starting PG, I'm thinking this move puts them in a spot for a possible sign & trade from someone else.
 
Laughing so much at Dwight Howard now. Best big man in the game, and he's behaving like a kid. There's no way the Magic will trade him now, and for it to happen, the Nets would have to offload Lopez (still have yet to make a qualifying offer on him), possibly move Crash Wallace and/or Joe Johnson. Possible neither contracts the Magic want!!!

Trade him to Big D, we'll give you a bunch of scrubs, and you can re-build like Atlanta. lol.

Just been announced that Devin Harris has just been traded for Marvin Williams.
 
Atlanta were not going to win, and overpaying players wasn't going to be helpful, so their trades make sense. Plus Atlanta might be able to sign Dwight Howard one year from now, or someone else with their cap-space.
