I'm no manu fan but yeah he deserves to retire on his terms. I just don't think paying him 7 mill a season
Really is in there best interests . At some point in the next 2 season they are gonna have to inject young talent into this team , is many really gonna give them 7 mill of value probably not ,

Other players getting $7m next season:

Brandon Bass
Taj Gibson
Brendan Haywood
Al Harrington
Tayshaun Prince
Anthony Morrow
Chauncey Billups
Tyler Hansbrough
Gerald Henderson


Manu is DEFINITELY worth $7m. He runs the second unit and does a whole lot more good than bad.

Big Al on the move

If this goes ahead then that's a good signing for the Bobcats. Big Al can score and provides an inside scoring presence the Bobcats haven't had for a while.
A nucleus of Kemba Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist and Big Al is something the Bobcats can build on.

Pretty funny how the Big Al signing is a 'good decision'!

It is really only a make-up decision for drafting Zeller! haha

I'm with you Adam, Manu deserves that coin still, he had a reasonably horrible year and can still bounce back next season, all the champions do

Even if he doesn't it's great to see him stay.

Did someone say the Spurs should get younger??????? Why????

Nah, it's more than a make up decision. He can ball and is a vet, which is what the Bobcats have been lacking. They dont have many vets at all.

With you there. Besides a couple of old farts everyone else is young. I keep saying basketball is an old mans game!!

The thing is, people don't realise the bigger picture.
By giving Manu $7m, and Tiago $9m, then signing Belinelli for $3, they qualify for the full MLE and can push $20m/4yrs for another FA big! Imagine if someone like AK47 decides to take less to have a shot at a ring

I agree with you! I am a Big Al fan! I have seen him play the post against Duncan!

I didn't mean your opinion was funny, I mean that it is probably wouldn't have been as good of a decision of they had drafted Alex Len!

When does Leonard become eligible for a bigger contract??

When does Leonard become eligible for a bigger contract??

After next season I think?
It was always 3 years for a 1st round pick and 2 years for a second, but the new CBA might have changed that?

 

[ozballer23]

Iggy has a new home

Adrian Wojnarowski: Andre Igoudala has reached agreement with Golden State on a four year, $48 million deal with the Warriors, league source tells Y! Sports

 

[ozballer23]

The complete Warriors-Jazz trade is as follows:

Jazz get: Brandon Rush, Andris Biedrins, Richard Jefferson, multiple picks (including 2014 1st rounder)
Warriors get: A buttload of cap space, Kevin Murphy

 

[Strop]

Iggy has a new home

I like this pickup for the warriors, not sure about all the picks to go with it though. Guess Jazz needed a sweetner to take on the contracts...

 

[Strop]

Almost officially a Rockets fan!! Well, on the 10 july anyway

Mavs, Hawks, Warriors have been notified they will not be getting Dwight. Down to Rockets and Lakers.

 

[Strop]

Lakers now told they are out as well!

 

[lukesicari]

Fake SportsCenter @FakeSportsCentr
Dwight Howard reportedly unhappy in Houston

 

[lukesicari]

 

[drob50]

Wow!!!!

Not only did Houston get Dwight, but now that have Omer Asik who doesn't want to play behind Howard, so will possibly get traded and they could be going for Josh Smith??? WOW!
Howard, Smith, Harden all on one spot is scary!!

Love the Warriors signing too! I saw the headline that they signed iggy and was p***ed that they traded Bogut.... but then SOMEHOW pulled it off by only losing Biedrins, Jefferson, Rush and a couple of picks??

Awesome! I can't wait to see what the Warriors can do this year!!!

@dmorey: While we are excited & cautiously optimistic @DwightHoward might choose Houston, we have not yet heard about his decision

I think he is just being pedantic isn't he?
Apparently the only confirmation of Howard going to Houston is that they have told all of the other teams he doesn't want to stay play there!
If that is the case, it's good enough for me! lol
