Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Whatever happened to the minor grumblings about Stuckey to the Lakers? Was that just some writers idea floating around or was there actual discussion? If it was real, I wonder if it would be rekindled.

I honestly never heard that one. He's a restricted free agent and I doubt there's any chance of him coming here.

I don't think he's ever been paid a big contract, so he's probably going to get a sizable deal from someone if not Detroit considering he's the best PG in the market. I see 0% possibility he winds up with LA.

Personally, if I was a Cav's GM I would use the amnesty on Jamison, Keep B-Diddy as a mentor for Irving as no doubt he will be The Cavalier's future centerpiece and the franchise will be built around him.

LOL you want a guy, who has a rep for not playing hard (the last couple years at least), will prolly show up to camp out of shape and generally has never been a consistent winner to groom you PG of the future?

I don't see how Dalembert doesn't sign with Miami - "Little Haiti".

And from all I've read, the Knicks still aren't going to sign anyone beyond a one-year deal. Their focus is on 2012.

@ Jamal Crawford. Ummm...yeah...no thanks buddy.

Crawford would do really well in D'Antoni's system, especially off the bench...

He'd do well right up until Melo and Amare start giving him the death stare when they don't get the ball.

Crawford is the least type of player that they really need.

And this is it for the lame duck D'Antoni. He just better keep his mouth shut for the season and prepare for his next coaching job somewhere else. He's done.

I like Stuckey as the 6th man, backing up Knight and Gordon (assuming BG avoids amnesty) and still getting near starter minutes.

I don't remember what that Lakers rumor was but it was a mess and had something to do originally with the Pistons giving up Stuck, Prince, and Monroe for Bynum. It was laughable but then some started to suggest Stuckey might be a good fit in LA anyway if they could work out a much smaller scale deal.

Hoping my Knicks can somehow someway pry away DeAndre Jordan from the Clips, figure out who the next PG is gonna be (CP3 or (less likely) D Will). Lastly I'm hoping for some lockout magic from '99.

I would never give up Monroe and I think that Stuck at Shooting guard would help him.

Very interesting....I'm a die hard Knicks fan but a huge B Roy fan. I won't even say (b/c there's no way it would happen) where I'd like to see him for a year.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

When Roy is amnesty'd, do you guys think the Bulls will take a look at him?

Blazers guard Brandon Roy has been working out mornings at UW with other NBA players and has reported no setbacks w/knees.

Hope this is true. I feel really bad for BRoy. This also makes me a lot more open to the Bulls looking at Roy

Edit: and for those who care...it looks like Pargo likely won't be with the Bulls any longer

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Brandon Roy on back-to-back-to-back games doesn't bode well.

With the way the Amnesty clause works, I doubt he goes to a playoff team. I'd like to see him go to a team on the cusp...Clippers would be nice.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

For those of you curious, the salary cap looks to be staying at $58 Million. With that said, teams currently under the salary cap will get first crack at the players coming off of being amnestied. Which means the following teams, as it currently stands, are lined up.

Jazz
Cavs
76ers
Thunder
Bucks
Suns
Warriors
T-Wolves
Pistons
Bobcats
Rockets
Raptors
Clippers
Hornets
Wizards
Nets
Grizzlies
Pacers
Kings
Nuggets

As you can see, that list is pretty extensive, meaning clearing waivers will leave guys sweating bullets who want to be free agents, and the teams wanting to pick up amnestied players that are above the cap.

I actually wouldnt mind seeing him go to the Clips...him & Blake could be a sick combo.

1. Are the Grizzlies still under the cap with the signing of Zach Randolph?

And I hope the Nuggets don't do something stupid and sign one of these idiots to their team just to round out their roster.
