                                Lets see if the NBA can stay off the murder sheet this offseason and one-up the NFL.
Saw Thomas Robinson was traded to the Trail Blazers.

Dwight is meeting with teams on Tuesday, the last of which will be LA and Kobe(who by the way posted a picture of himself shooting free throws over the weekend). They say a decision from Dwight could come very soon after Tuesday. I don't even know what I want from him anymore. Stay or go? Just decide.

Not sure of this being the top 19....but what do I know? Little surprised Charlotte didn't go on Mullens but they'll try it with Zeller.

                        If they add Pekovic and Kirilenko that would be huge. Kirilenko has a great all around game and isn't ball dominant, he had a great year last year. Pekovic is a beast, just no one knows about him because he was in Minny. Supposedly there is mutual interest between Miami and Oden.ohiobucks1;1466205 wrote:Would like the Cavs to target these people in free agency:

                                Not sure what to think of Bargnani to the Knicks, he is a scorer who is a below average rebounder. I always felt like he had more potential than what he was producing, maybe getting out of Toronto can change that.

                        I read that because he started 41 games last year, or half, that raised his qualifying offer substantially. If he had started one less game he probably would have been extended the offer.Ironman92;1466229 wrote:Yeah....not going to act like I fully understood it.

                        I think Pek would cost too much. With Waiters, Irving and now Bennett all being offensive minded players I wouldn't mind targeting a more affordable Tiago Splitter. I think he could be had for less money and give us a physical post presence. Could be lured to come in and split time with his fellow country man. Agree about AK47. Sign him for a 1 or 2 year deal and let him continue to mentor Sergey. Also wouldn't mind Darren Collison as back up PG on an affordable contract.ohiobucks1;1466205 wrote:Would like the Cavs to target these people in free agency:

No. Andrew. I wouldnt give him a god awful contract but if we could get him to sign a 2 year + team option deal, I would consider him. His best year came under mike brown, and if he knee isn't tFUBAR then I think he could be dominate again...

If he isn't willing to take a "prove yourself" contract of like 2 years 20 mil + a team 14 mil 3rd year option i'd tell him to GFH

                        He's probably going to get a max deal as there always seems to be a couple franchises that will overspend on a gamble.like_that;1466423 wrote:He is going to be a bitch and demand a ridiculous contract. Count me out. I like the other guys you listed though.
