Continue on!
What we've learned:
- Barney is signable, albeit a little "Too soft"
- Bringing up politics is (and always will be) a bad thing here at PtR
- The only thing worse than waiting for your child to be born, is if you're a Clippers fan waiting for your illegitimate child to be born.
- G-State restricted free agent Anthony Morrow has slew of interest, including Spurs, Celtics, Lakers, Blazers, Clips and Jazz, sources say.
- The Warriors new logo is weird.
- Memphis is batshit insane, signing Rudy Gay to a 5yr/$81.6 million contract..
- Spurs have sent interest to Matt Bonner, Bonner has shown interest in return (aww)
- RJ wants to go back to the NYC area (Nets not interested, according to one report)
- Olf said something really boring that no one cares about
- Grizzlies waive Lester Hudson. Again, I have no idea who that is or what it means.
- T'Wolves trying to screw with the Spurs by signing Nikola Pekovic to 3yr/$13 million contract
- Raptors join insane list by signing Amir Johnson to 5yr/$34 million deal
- Suns thought the insanity list seemed fun, so they signed Channing Frye to 5yr/$30 million deal.
- Rockets interested in S&T'ing Scola, Ariza AND Battier for either Bosh or Am''''a'r'e''''
- Suns drink too much A to Z Wine, sign Hakim Warrick 4yr/$18 million deal
- Knicks interested in S&T, but not with the Suns.
Still nothing on my 
Brazilian Lover

Interesting.
I think I’d have liked it more if it hadn’t been for the gratuitous switching from the left channel to the right and back.

So what options do we have left if RJ signs with another team? I think we sign either Keith Bogans or Wayne Vore.
"He has an innate ability of putting the damn ball in the hole." - Pop on Ginobili
I hear that Vore really dropped because no one was able to bring him in for workouts b/c of a really nasty sprained ankle he got in his last game.
He might be a good pick up for S.A.

From Woj: Bulls meeting with Wade a second time, partnership with Lebron on agenda.
The people of the village fell silent, as the beast opened its mouth. And then the beast spoke, and said "LOL BRO".
Also, Lakers agree to terms with Steve Blake.

For such a clever man olf……..doesn’t compute that you are a Laker fan. I’m starting to think some others are right, you’re a closet Spurs fan. Come on out, you’ll feel better, honestly.
BTW congrats on the repeat, not many teams can do it.
Next season is going to be really interesting, lots of $ being thrown around. If Wade and LeBron end up on the same team, it might work because of the type of player Wade is.
Timmy D .... enough said.
Personally, I think that Wade to Dallas could make the Mavs best in the West.
If you don’t need ACL’s to make it big, you don’t need pinky fingers. - completely deck
I agree, which is why we don’t want that to happen
"I've got Tim (Duncan) and you don't. That's the difference." -Gregg Popovich
I agree too, and no we don’t want that to happen. Wade is a great player that KNOWS he can’t do it on his own. I could be wrong, just don’t think he has the ego problems of some others.
Timmy D .... enough said.
Would be interesting if that happened. Wade badly dissed Dirk some years back after Miami beat Dallas, saying he is not a leader. That one interview changed my mind about Wade, who I had thought was a class act up until then. Kicking a man when he is down is not cool, + Dirk is our whipping boy, not theirs.
'What color do you want?" (Tim Duncan)
I didn’t know Wade said that but to be honest it is my biggest complaint about Dirk. Agree not cool to say so when you have just beat someone in the finals. Know I’m a homer but how many other teams have a leader like Duncan? We are very spoiled.
Dirk has incredible talent, seems to be a nice guy but… inclined to choke when it’s on the line.
And yes he is our whipping boy but to be fair the Heat was playing in that Finals not us.
Timmy D .... enough said.
I don’t know, maybe others are right and we need a bad boy on the team like Barnes. Hard to look at all those tats tho. I’d rather have Horry back, at least he just gave back in kind. Nice of Nash to own up to selling that foul, always knew it but good to have proof for my Sun’s friends.
Timmy D .... enough said.
This old school ER nurse told me today that back in the early 80’s if you had more than one tattoo you were DSM chatagorized as a sociopath. They gave you one, as the drunken sailor rule, but any more then you were labeled.
That would include my wife if it were the same today. And she’s the most innocent person I know. At least I think I know.
Yep, maybe I’m showing my age. I think tattoo’s can be cool, just hate to see someone covered in them. Not saying it makes someone a bad person, actions do that. Sure you are safe with your wife, just don’t tick her off ! But that’s true tats or no with us women, we can get pretty nasty when it is called for……… and sometimes when it’s not.

Eh? Free agents? Wut?
Sorry, guys, I couldn’t see this thread over how AWESOME the World Cup is being.
Anyway, I might be on the losing side of this argument, but I want to think PTR can be a place for rational grownups to discuss politics, religion and just about everything in between the countless hours of hardcore basketball. Keeps things entertaining, and helps us identify the childish members who can’t play nice.
I smell death... everywhere.
I don’t have a problem with people discussing that stuff in like a DTOUR thread(BTW, want one for the ARG-GER game tomorrow?), but it should probably stay out of this kind of thread.

Without reading too much into it, does this signal anything about RJ?
Draft express describes him as Keith Bogans at worst. I can live with that.

Clippers announcement:
“We are honored to be one of the select organizations to have been invited to meet with LeBron James and his team.”
How pathetic is this? (And they’re meeting with “his team”? The Cavs? LOL.).
If only the Spurs were a “select organization” like the Clips.
Not that any one cares, but Based on Chicago Tribune, Wade and Bosh are both currently at Henry Thomas’(their agents) office with #Bulls management
Keep the faith!!
That would be a damn dangerous team.
Rose
Wade
Deng
Bosh
Noah

Deng and Noah would never see the ball. Bosh would probably have to live on put-backs.

—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
Its rumored the Knicks are out of the running for Lebron. They allegedly failed to impress Lebron in their meeting, furthermore woj has stated that they are close to signing Apostrophe, this would take alot of the moolah that was meant for Lebron.
And now it appears that Chicago might be signing Wade, they also reportedly met with Bosh.
I bet Wade and Bosh will go to Chicago and Lebron will end up going to the Nets. Billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov could help fulfill Lebrons dream of becoming a Billionaire himself. In addition, they are planning on moving to Brooklyn in 2 years, this would satisfy Lebrons desire to play in a big market.
The Spurs = Not your granddaddies 7th seed !
Splitter makes verbal commitment to Spurs!

I’m so glad you feel like keeping yourself to that.
More like I forgot… I got rickrolld quite a few times after it went popular from 4chan. About that time everyone was watching the URL address on the bottom. It was kind of pointless to try and do it then and I eventually forgot about it.
With people on here refreshing yahoo! sports and twitter pages every fucking minute… it seemed like a good time. Were posting NY times rumors for fucks sake. We might as well be hunting for Commentor Vangelis posts.

I have only been rickrolled once in my life, and of course it was by you (jrw). Did I mention how much I hate you?
'What color do you want?" (Tim Duncan)
You’ve never mentioned the hate before, swgeek, although I can certainly understand the sentiment being directed toward me, considering the context.
And while I’m kind of impressed that you’d never been rickrolled prior to last month, I must admit that I’m somewhat puzzled at what induced you to finally click through to Mr. Astley’s greatest hit: a link promising a walkthrough for jailbreaking a crystal ball.
Really?

At that point I did not know you rick-rolled, so had absolutely no suspicion. Ahh the foolish innocence of days gone by.

Free-agent forward David Lee is visiting with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, and the Wolves won’t have much time to try to impress him.
Lee has already visited with the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, and once Chris Bosh, Amar’e Stoudemire and Carlos Boozer commit, Lee figures to be the top available power forward on the market.
San Antonio Spurs free-agent guard Roger Mason Jr. is receiving interest from Chicago, Miami, New York and the Los Angeles Clippers. Teams see him as an affordable shooter to add alongside a top free agent.

Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.
I’m just saying that if we give him the full mle for nearly 6mil/yr, if you consider that we have no state income tax in TX and our generous soda prices – no doubt due to our close proximity to many bottling plants – tiago’s purchasing power in terms of carbonated beverages is proibably higher in sa than he’ll get anywhere else in the world… And I don’t think they have dr pepper much outside the states (I could be wrong about that though)

Just saw on the ESPN’s bottomline that the Spurs are one of the handful of the teams that have offered a trade to the Raptors for Chris Bosh.
The Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks are believed to have submitted trade proposals for Bosh to the Raptors, and apparently none has impressed Toronto.
Probably offered Tiago rights. Foolish Raptors passing up on such an offer. Oh well good for us ha ha.

V- "I'm quite sure they'll say so."

Unless the Raptors management is stupid, which I wouldn’t doubt, I don’t think the Spurs offered much outside Parker and draft picks. I mean a deal that includes Parker AND Blair, Hill maybe even Anderson or Spiltter is impressive enough I think.
The problem with this seems to be that it assumes that Toronto will re-sign Bosh, even if it’s just for a S & T. It doesn’t appear to me like that’s something he’s considering. Why would he even bother helping the Raptors out?
by DrumsInTheDeep on Jul 3, 2010 2:34 PM CDT up reply actions
Because he can make more money that way. Teams are allowed to re-sign their own players for some odd percentage more than the max. So if he signs with Raptors first, his contract with the added percentage tacked on goes with him. That is not the case if he simply signed outright.
Bird Rights allows for an extra year too and more money per year up to 6 years.
Bosh makes more money, Toronto gets a star in return, and we get Bosh. All 3 parties win here.

What a brutal legacy for Dirk.
Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.
I think it’s really unfair that the words “Dallas Mavericks”, “playoffs” and “collapse” are linked only to Dirk’s legacy.
What about Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Erick Dampier, Shawn Bradley, Raef LaFrentz, Antoine Walker, Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Don Nelson, Avery Johnson, Rick Carlisle, etc? Does anyone of them average 25 and 11 in the playoffs, with those numbers going up in elimination games? Here’s a hint: No. Not even close.
Well, I’m always happy to blame it all on Mark Cuban, if that makes you feel better.
Seriously though, Dirk doesn’t play defense. That’s the difference between him and other players who have won championships. Even a lazy bum like Shaq stepped up and played solid D when it mattered. Ditto for a razor-thin softy like Gasol. Dirk always did his job offensively. Unfortunately that’s not enough.
Well, I get your point, but the thing is, it was enough one year.
In 2006, the Mavs stepped up defensively, thanks to Avery, after a decade of defensive futility courtesy of Don Nelson.
Look, I hate to bring 2006 up every time someone says Dirk doesn’t have what it takes to win it all, but it’s like people just forgot about that, and we Mavericks fans hear things like “Wade, a proven champion”. It’s like a kick in the nuts.
After every big shot Dirk made with Haslem assaulting him, Wade had a trip to the FT line, and Shaq elbowed his way to the basket. You can’t beat that, even if you are a combination of Duncan, Big Ben and Howard on the defensive end.
You’ll get no arguments from me about 2006, mg.
I’m a Spurs fan, and have no affection for the Mavs, but I love good basketball and enjoy seeing it played at the highest level. But I turned off those Finals because I couldn’t bear to watch the handing of that championship over to Miami by the refs.
Mrs JRW came into the living room, knowing that the playoffs were on, and just stood there in wonder, asking me why I wasn’t watching the game.
That series was, and will always be, a disgrace in my eyes and one of the low points in the history of the NBA..
If you don’t need ACL’s to make it big, you don’t need pinky fingers. - completely deck
Well, I will never argue against the futility of NBA refs.
Unfortunately your counter factual doesn’t consider that Dallas probably wouldn’t have even made it that far were it not for atrocious reffing in its favor during the Spurs series (conveniently forgotten by Mavs fans). Moreover, I can think of no perimeter oriented player who receives more favoritism from the refs than Dirk. At least Wade earned his driving to the hoop with regularity.
The Nets, and notorious thug Kenyon Martin, mauled TD constantly in ‘03. What did Timmy do? He and the team mauled them right back. The ’06 Mavs just collectively whined. That’s the difference between champions and choke artists.
by Neuwaldegg on Jul 5, 2010 12:36 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
So you’re saying the Mavs should have mauled the refs? Like, a Mavs player should have thrown a ref to the floor to force him to make the right call, thinking “That’ll teach him to stop calling BS fouls”? I don’t think it works like that. You can confront a player (by the way, kudos to Tim for taking that scumbag Martin to school in 2003) but you can’t confront the refs. There’s nothing you can do if they are against you. Just ask Mark Cuban. And c’mon, it’s not like the Mavs didn’t go to the basket at all. They just weren’t rewarded with FTs the way Miami was. We had a nice collection of slashers in that team but when there’s such a disparity, the will to go inside to get the points starts fading.
Also, since the Spurs are multiple NBA champions, and got the benefit of the whistle some times, people may forget about that Spurs-Mavs series. I’d have to go back and see if it was atrocious like you say, because I don’t really remember. And living in Uruguay in a house with no cable TV and no Internet, I didn’t have the chance to watch the 7 games. The Mavs, on the other hand, had that one shot at an NBA title, and it was much more than atrocious. And yes, Dirk gets lots of calls, but consider the fact that the defenders tend to mug him in order to prevent him to score, because they can’t just guard him. You can’t compare him to the holy trinity of LBJ, Kobe, and D-Whistle.
Anyway, sorry about the multiple rants. It’s just that when this topic comes up I can get a bit annoying.
Like it or not, it’s the superstars who actually have a legacy. Antoine Walker may have a ring, but he has no legacy outside of turning into an out-of-control 3pt chucker.
Steve Nash has the MVP awards, a rep as a magician with the ball, a brilliant assist man, and an exceptionally good shooter who doesn’t defend very well and will likely never hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy. Josh Howard has his weed comments.
I could go on though the entire list you made, but (unfair as it may be) Dirk was robbed four years ago, and although legacies may not include all the facts of the story, they sure do remember the headlines.

Jesus christ man. Please don’t invoke Budd Dwyer lightly… I’m into brutal stuff but reading up on that was chilling, depressing and grim even for me.
Wade won a title ? Oh yea, probably the most inconsequential championship of the last two decades….
The Spurs = Not your granddaddies 7th seed !
Inconsequential?
A lot of Miami’s players were happy to win one ring and retired not long afterwards. So of course Miami hasn’t sniffed a title since. And regardless, 2006 was a great playoff year. A lot of thrilling matches, and plenty of history was made.

Honestly I think he knows that. He did beg Cleveland to get him help, and they tried. I think a bigger problem is that everything revolves around him and the coach does not dare overrule him, and does not punish him for publicly questioning coach’s decisions. Then the coach loses the respect of the rest of the team and it is just a bunch of individuals playing out there. Brown was not a great coach, but even a poor coach is better than no coach.

More Parker rumors from the NY Post (rickroll free)
When it dawns on Amar’e Stoudemire that he’ll no longer be running the pick-and-roll with Steve Nash, he might not want to join the Knicks. That’s why it’s Donnie Walsh’s job to find Stoudemire a running mate and the player expected to be targeted is Tony Parker.
As the Daily News reported in April, the Spurs’ point guard is hoping to be traded to the Knicks and has long wanted to play with Stoudemire. A person close to both players said Stoudemire and Parker hatched a plan to join forces in either Miami or New York.
“It’s perfect for Tony because he wants to be in New York and he wants to play with Amar’e,” said the source.

Argentina’s defense has been their weaker side for a while, especially at goalie.Their have an amazing offense though.
If Germany didn’t win, Argentina is my second favorite to cheer for. Right now, Germany is just on their game though.
One reason Argentina’s offense is amazing is their guys rest up instead of sprinting back to help on defense.

You know, let me drop a “Free Agent palooza” I mean thought on ya. Perhaps I am the last one to notice how all the awesome free agent talent seems to be staying in (LbJ, Wade, Bosh)/headed to (Amare, Boozer) the east. What a bunch of wusses man.
In the east 41-41 gets you the 8th seed last year. In the west I think the 8th seed won 52 games or something. If LeBron is such a basass great talent, let him come to the west and transform Golden State, Sacto or Minni or even New Orleans. Seems like the big names are too chicken or lazy to slug it out in the west.
And finally it also seems to me like the top teams in the east (Bos, Cle, Orl) are all in a bit of disarray this off season while the powerhouses in the west (’cept Phx) are mostly still intact.
Just had to get that off my chest.

Toronto Raptors free-agent forward Chris Bosh went to his hometown of Dallas to rest and contemplate his free-agency options on Saturday after meetings with prospective teams, according to a source.
The Raptors are still open-minded about the possibility of a sign-and-trade with their All-Star and have done extensive research on possible scenarios with each potential trade partner. The Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams in the luxury tax who have interest in a possible sign-and-trade for Bosh. The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are other possible sign-and-trade partners.

Probably. The Spurs would have to trade both Tony and Dice to make this happen. How would we replace our point guard in this case?
The only reason the Lakers are on the list is because LAL was on the list of teams Bosh said he would consider playing for. Right or wrong, the Lakers aren’t moving Bynum to get Bosh. (And I am glad of that btw.)
So maybe the Spurs are listed for the same reason??
Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.
are you seriously saying that you prefer Bynums “potential” to stay healthy and play consistent over Chris Bosh? Seriously, you have already won 2 championships without much contribution from Bynum (except on a losing effort) dont you think you would be much better adding Chris Fuckin Bosh to help Odom and Gasol ?
"Rock and Roll angels bring that HardRock Hallelujah"
OK, I admit that Bynum is my favorite Laker so take this fwiw. But like “spursfan87” alludes to below. Since we already have Gasol locked up I would keep Bynum. Because I think the combination of Bynum & Gasol is greater than the combination of Bosh & Gasol. Bosh is great, but overlaps skill-wise a lot with Gasol (who is also great).
OK, and when we lost in 2008, Bynum (and Ariza too) virtually didn’t even play. Vladimir Radmonovich was our starting SF to defend Pierce – backed up by Luke Walton. Back then the Lakers could not keep the Cs out of the paint (Posey, Powe, not to mention KG & Perkins, etc.) Plus, Perkins & KG did a WWE tag-team pounding on Gasol. With Bynum in, Perk has to stay home to keep him off the glass, etc.
This year Big Baby had a good game or two but he did his damage when Bynum was on the pine. Odom is good but BB was able to move him or get around him – not so with Bynum.
Lastly, it’s OK if you don’t like him. I like him enough for both of us. :)

Hate to say it, but I agree with you Olf. Ugh. Bosh is overrated (imo), and Bynum is underrated because of his injuries. No question he had an impact even with limited minutes in the playoffs, and he adds a defensive presence that Bosh would not. Damn, I have to go wash my mouth out with soap now.
'What color do you want?" (Tim Duncan)
OLF
for once you are making some damn sense! LOL! I said the exact same thing to people in another fanpost about Bynum and Gasol complimenting each others style of play. And if they got Bosh him and Gasol would be a soft front line because they play so similar. I wouldn’t go as far as swgeek and say Bosh is overrated but why would you get a guy who does the exact same thing as somebody you already have not to mention Bosh’s contract is going to cost more than Bynum’s.
One thing i can do...................is FINGER ROLL.
by gunnin' gervin on Jul 4, 2010 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions
my main point relies on health….Bynum is injured most of the time. It doesnt matter if you are the second coming of michael jordan, if you cant stay on the court (via foul trouble, an injury or a bad coach) you are not helping.
"Rock and Roll angels bring that HardRock Hallelujah"
Oh I understand and obviously agree that ability to stay on the court is key. And my point was that even if Bosh is better than Bynum individually, Bynum gives the Lakers something they do not have in Gasol or Odom – a big body to clog the paint or check the larger bigs like Shaq, Yao, and (I know this is blasphemy) even Duncan.
Hey if repeating as champions were that easy even the Spurs could do it.

Yep. When the rumors started swirling (around the trade deadline this past season) that Bynum might be moved for Bosh I hoped and prayed it would happen. Kupchek (sp?) is a smart dude.
"It's Manuway or the Highway" - tlo
I don’t think the rumors ever went too far. I’m not sure if Mitch was the one who killed it. He’s definitely improved his work of recently, but was also a problem in the past too. He definitely had a lot of hate on him previously. The no brainer Gasol deal definitely helped things though.
Oh there is palace intrigue inside the Lakers castle. The owner’s son Jimmy Buss is now V. P. of Player Personnel or Basketball Operations or whatever. I think Kupchek might report to him. He is IN LOVE with Bynum – wanted to draft him, won’t trade him, etc. He also was behind replacing Phil Jackson with Rudy T. back when Shaq left.
The owner’s daughter Jeannie is of course Jackson’s girlfriend and V P of Marketing and non basketball operations. She of course wants Phil to stick around and have a bigger role with the Lakers.
Oh the drama. I will really be sad when the dad is no longer involved with the team. He’s been a great owner.

From ESPNDallas re: Dirk’s deal
Nowitzki essentially ignored exploratory feelers from New Jersey and New York and stuck to his oft-cited desire to keep chasing his championship dream in Dallas, agreeing to the new pact — which includes a no-trade clause — after a series of wrap-up meetings that consumed much of Saturday and concluded at Cuban’s house.
I thought no-trade clauses were no longer allowed and that Kobe was the last one to have one. (OK maybe that was just for the Lakers or something.)

According to ESPN’s salary cap guy Larry Coon, the prerequisites for a no-trade clause are as follows:
8 years in the league
4 years with the same team
has to be a NEW contract, extensions are not allowed
And obviously the team has to be willing to include the clause and the only players with enough clout to get that kind of treatment are the Kobes and Dirks of the world. Which is why only those two guys are currently protected.

Depending on what happens to the CBA, this contract might end up looking more and more bizarre the older Johnson gets.
By PER, he’s only ever been a bit above average, but PER loves it when you shoot. He had an above average year in win shares48 by not turning it over so much but for his career is a slightly below average player.

Im not high on trading TP but I wanted to know if anyone would consider a trade centered around Mike Bibby and Josh Smith for TP. Is Smith worth over 10M a year? Statistically he seems worth it. The problem is the crowded front court. The question rises because of rumors of Snaq wanting to sign with the Hawks and therefore looking to trade Smith. The rumors were reported at rotoworld.com
"If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert"
- DBG
In any case, occasionally we could go big if Smith can play SF for spans of time. Dont know much about him but Tiago, Duncan and Smith on the floor at the same time sounds like something that could be effective.
"If an expert says it can't be done, get another expert"
- DBG
I’m not sure if you could get away with playing Smith at SF because of his lack of range offensively and the fact that he might be a step to slow to guard perimeter players effectively. At PF though he would be an upgrade over Dice, who coincidentally would probably have to be included on the deal to make the numbers work.
Also I really don’t know how well they would fit with the Spurs, considering that Smith is not known for having a high B-Ball IQ and Bibby is an awful defender.
I don’t know, I’d rather keep Tony, but I guess it could work.
Another possible trade with the Hawks would be Parker for Bibby and Marvin Williams, which would allow the Spurs to let RJ walk. Again, I’d rather keep Tony.
