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

[Matty4292]

I just read something interesting on Bleacher Report so I don't trust it too much. I personally hate this but I'd be keen to find out what people think.

Apparently, the Nuggets have offered Orlando Andre Miller, Al Harrington, Wilson Chandler, Kenneth Faried and the rights to Evan Fournier & Quincy Miller for Dwight Howard.

I hope like hell that this doesn't go down.

Damn, if that does happen, and assuming Dwight WON'T want to stick around in Denver, that leaves them with a MASSIVE chunk missing!! Not to mention, they'd struggle to win a championship...

And as a Nuggs fan, I don't want another season like 10-11 with Melo

agreed, this is why i also hope chicago are not doing some secret trade ideas in the back to get dwight for one year only to have him enter the free agency next year and end up in brooklyn anyway..

thats why the only way i want the Lakers to get him is if its a sign and trade deal.

Looks like Blair is drawing interest from GSW

The Warriors would have an interest in San Antonio big man DeJuan Blair, according to a source. But the Spurs want a first-round pick in exchange. Not only do the Warriors not have one they can give, they wouldn't give it anyway. If the price comes down, GSW would check him out. He's not the athlete they want, but he'd bring the toughness and physicality they need Sulia

With no bias at all, Blair is one of the biggest bargains around at the moment! He wouldnt be available if the Spurs didn't sign Diaw and he has a great pick game and is a hard worker under the rim. I think there are a lot of teams that would/should go after him.... NOW

by the end of last season, he was the best 11th man in the league IMO!!

100% agree!

If Denver gave up 2013 1st round pick and got Blair, I'd be stoked!

NJ for Blair!?

ROFL... still getting used to it

You know what?? I am actually ok with Brooklyn. There are about 6-7 teams that would devastate me if he went to them, but the Nets is cool! I like GSW too, which was a "possibility"

What about Denver?

Blair is really a one year proposition at this stage due to being in the final year of a very cheap contract, with any team willing to trade a 1st round draft pick having to know that Blair is gonna want to get paid next offseason, which I think he deserves, or risk him going for nothing in return.

Are you kidding??? Blair and Faried would be sweeeeeeet!!!

Yeah, but there are ways around that! If SA choose not to renew before Jan he would be an UFA wouldn't he? Even so, there is a weak class next year and taking the Bear instead of flipping the coin is a good choice IMO

Glad you approve haha!

We don't have Hump signed yet, fighting with the Bobcats for him it seems. But either way would like to see him at Brooklyn (see, I got it right this time ); I think he's a quality player and could even start for us or if we sign Hump then could be the first big off the bench. If we don't sign Hump, then he could be the board eater!

Only thing though, if we DO sign Hump, then we would have Hump starting and then that Turkish guy probably backing him up...... dunno how good that guy is though.

Anyone see that McGee turned down a 5-year/$50M offer!? lmao

He apparently saw the deals Hibbert and Lopez got and wants the same!? If I was him I would take the money and run....... run like the way he did when he thought the ball went in the hoop and Wall had to tell him to get the hell back lol

First Denver....... 50M for McGee... really!? Let's see..

The guy has a Youtube top ten dumb plays dedicated towards him

Averaged the below totals for last season:

Wash
11.9ppg/8.8rpg/2.5bpg in 27.4mins/game whilst shooting .500 from the FT line

Den
10.3ppg/5.8rpg/1.6bpg in 20.6mins/game whilst shooting .373 from the FT line

Playoffs
8.6ppg/9.6rpg/3.1bpg in 25.9mins/game whilst shooting .538 from the FT line

That's a $50M+ player!?

Dang!!!!!
