What is Bayless going to give Chicago? Playing time at the 2? At 6'3? With no effort on defense?

Mainly just a combo guard who can start at point until rose is back, and give us some buckets off the bench.

What point is changing here.. I'm not justifying anything actually. I'm saying Drew's immaturity is much different than Dwight's, and yes both have shown red flags. I'd take Dwight and his issues any day over Drew and his. Skillsets included in the discussion.

As I said, I don't see Dwight's major issues carrying over to a team with Nash and Kobe at the helm.

Especially with Steve Nash. Guy is such great person to be around with.

Duhwight's issues are that he flip flops and is too concerned with what people think of him(which I understand knowing his issues OFF the court and non Basketball related) while Bynum's issues are that he doesn't give a **** what people think of him. ON the court maturity, yeah Duhwight has Bynum beat in that category.

I doubt he cares where he goes because as he said, "There's a Bank in every city".

That's what I complained about pages back. The Bulls act like FA starts on the 11th.

Well, techincally it does.

Anyway on the Laker/Nash thing. I think we need to clarify that those four picks are two first and two seconds. A first and second for next year's draft, a second for the draft after that and a first in the draft after that. I'm no college expert, but I'm pretty sure we're gonna have some **** draft classes for at least the next two years. If your picks turn into guys who aren't even on your team in five years, then you may as well had of not even made the deal and let the dude walk cause you end up with the same result.

Drew loses him mind/temper way too easily. His temperament is one of the worst in the league for any player.

Camby to meet with Miami tomorrow, looking for more than the Vet's Minimum, per Houston Chronicle


The Rockets’ overhaul could be close to another change.

Center Marcus Camby, who finished the season as the Rockets’ starter, is scheduled to meet with the Miami Heat on Saturday with a subsequent meeting planned with the Knicks, according to an individual close to Camby.

Camby would still consider the Rockets, but will likely make a decision before the Rockets have a resolution on their hope to add Bulls center Omer Asik. The Rockets will sign Asik to an offer sheet on Wednesday, but the Bulls would have up to three days to match.

Even if the Rockets do not land Asik, they have been retooling around their young players, making them less likely to offer the 38-year-old Camby the sort of contract he can get elsewhere. He would not sign for the veteran’s minimum, according to the individual close to Camby.

In 19 games with the Rockets, Camby averaged 7.1 points and 9.3 rebounds in just 21.1 minutes per game.

Signing are on the 11th. Talks started last week. No interviews, just rumors. They need to assume that Rose will not play this year. Prepare just in case. That's what they did when Jay Williams hit that tree. They drafted Hinrich. Yes they drafted Teague, but that was to replace Watson.

Source says chance Miami could sign Ray Allen with $3 million exception and then seek to get Marcus Camby in sign-and-trade with Houston

If the Heat could land Ray and Camby then it's game over.

Na, let em. It'll be funner reading through message boards and watching TV if they were to not win a title.

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (Updates 1st PG)

Lou Williams is interesting... problem is he is extremely streaky.

At this point as a Bulls fan I know one thing. I want certain players to leave with no real desire to grab anyone out there at this point... except Mayo.

I would say most 6th men are streaky. Given the contract Crawford got, I would prefer Lou Williams. I would prefer Lou over Crawford anyways but I don't think I would want to sign Crawford to a 3 year deal. Lou is a very good at getting to the line and he has learned the art of the pump fake ( Andre Miller). If the Bulls are healthy, they can pull him out of games when he goes cold. I don't know what type of money he will get because this offseason has created some weird contracts but I think someone will pay him.

Jason Kidd was on WFAN in NY and said a week ago, Deron was leaning towards signing with Dallas. But that the moves the team made(getting Gerald Wallace and Joe Johnson, Lopez + Assets)and the fact that they were able to lay out a whole team plan for him was probably the difference.

Rich Levine: Source says that Ray Allen's meeting w/ the Heat went well. Miami said to be very intrigued by Allen's "intense hatred for Mario Chalmers." about 22 minutes ago

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (Updates 1st PG)

Interesting. I will be quite intrigued at how Brooklyn can continue to add guys to the fold in the coming years and if they'll be enough to contend.

I personally don't have the greatest feeling about the core but I'll wait to see what else they have in store.

I still don't think Camby fits all that well, not with the style of D MIA plays...

I also think Ray is trolling MIA, I think dude is definitely headed back to Beantown....I just don't see what his role would be on these current Celtics who are now deep at the 2 spot.

Lol, now that I think about it, this makes sense.
