2012 NBA Free Agent Watch Thread

so the Clippers are the only one willing to give up a 1st for Brooks. SMDH I couldn't be a GM. If i'm any late lotto middle of the pack team without a big time SG I'm giving up this pick. Aint like the clips are going to even be in the lotto. you telling me the cavs or suns couldn't offer a lotto protected 1st or even jazz?

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Wow. Good for the Clips. Makes the Crawford signing look beyond stupid now, but Brooks for a first is good shyt

Aint nuttin signed yet

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Why is Orlando trying so hard to get picks that wont be that valuable? If Howard goes to the nets and Brooks goes to the Clippers any picks gained from those team are gonna be late in the draft.

You could flip all of those picks for a top lottery pick

Bulls

Could've given up a first for a 2 guard that can score

like Houston?

this aint the nfl where u can get players anywhere, a lotto pick is worth far more then 4 or 5 late first rounders

only reason i hope the trade goes down is because the east is pathetic.

especially since they about to let brewer walk so now we have no depth at the 2 guard position except fragile handle with care azz rip.

i can see not helping the nets get howard, but its going to happen anyway, might as well get in where you fit in.

 

[BlakeSuperior]

They are giving the Nets depth as well, plus they keep Taylor in this deal I'm seeing

This only makes the East even more pathetic.

So now instead of it being Boston/Miami... it's not Miami/Brooklyn? I mean, NY isn't coming up, Orlando is done, Atlanta had a fire sale, Chicago is too injured, and Boston may or may not still be formidable enough to challenge.

The East didn't get better... just giving all their players to just two teams now.

like orlando and boston was going to beat the heat anyway, neither of those teams are a serious challenged to them. blame the heat for squading up like voltron instead of 2 stars on a team.

 

[Crack Daniels]

This feels like Carmelo all over again with all these teams involved. Not feeling all that optimistic

 

[Malta]

This is why you trade these dudes a year or two before their contract is up if they are noncommittal or vague about their future. The Jazz played it brilliantly, they got max return for their star player when nobody had any idea they were looking to trade him. The Magic should have traded this nikka last year....just stupid, now they're about to get that no vaseline treatment no matter if he goes to the Lakers or Nets, all those picks are trash.


shyt, trade the nikka to Houston for Lamb, White, Jones & future picks under the idea that he won't re-sign there.
