NBA Movement Central 2012 (All Transactions 1st Page)

[The 24th Letter]

Will it be enough to just stay pat? Hopefully they can add at least one new body to the rotation, or hope Splitter can continue to develop. I don't know how Duncan will look at all next year...

SMH, I don't know man....I don't like the odds of the big 3 coming out of a consecutive season unscathed.....it'll be interesting to see what Leonard, Splitter added to their game this summer....

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

I think you guys should actually be good to roll for one more year at least. No way Leonard and Splitter not add to their games, and mentally they'll be in a much better place.

I'm sure you'll add at least one more player, there's a ton of guys still out there

Article about the Duncan deal



I kind of agree with Jemele Hill on this one.

This is why she is a Writer and not a GM(same goes with some of these Fans).

People(especially people like Ms. Hill) want GMs/their teams to take chances and be gamblers but yet when the gamble doesn't pay off, they're the first person asking for somebody to fired. Prime example of people not knowing WTF they want when it comes to their teams. That and lack of patience nowadays.

Im thinking with no Mayo on the roster, the griz should at least be considered for a top 2 seed.

We have a 1000 pound weight lifted off our backs

Yes Jemele. And have Dwight toy with the Orlando fan base for another 12 months..possibly sitting out on purpose because of his back or being a distraction or flirting/flip-flopping even more during the season or coming to blows with Jameer or keeping your face on ESPN even longer covering this nonsense.

Makes perfect sense Jemele..especially coming from someone who is from Orlando like she is.

Spurs get Nando de Colo for a 2 year deal

Cool story, Spurs.

Ummm....isn't she from Detroit?

Anyway I agree with her premise which can be used either way. I'd take that stance too if I were the Magic. The two teams that he's likely going to end up with can only get him through a trade with us. If you're going to lowball me and try to force me into taking a ****ty deal just to get rid of Dwight, then screw it I'll take my chances with him going out on the open market and getting nothing out of it but 20 million off my cap and a likely top five draft pick. My team is going to suck when he's gone anyway, what do I care if we suck just a little bit less because of a trade as opposed to him walking.

That said I can still call they're bluff and revisit this near the trade deadline. If you really want him, make me a legit offer otherwise I'm content letting him walk and effectively meaning you guys never get him. If Denver just bent and gave Melo up at the first chance they got to get it over with, they'd have been screwed over and not gotten close to the haul they got.

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

Something I just don't get is why they're apparently so anxious to deal Blair and now maybe Neal?

I don't get it... but good move for SA to bring over Nando.. I'm sure Parker had something to do with that, smh.

I didn't realize they had so many guys under contract, 14, so I guess I understand the need to clear room.. but Neal and Blair are capable role players if given the opportunity.

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

Blake signed his deal finally.

Blake Griffin and the Clippers have formally agreed on his five-year, approximately $95 million deal, league sources say.

[ex carrabba fan]

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

Holy ****

Blake had better develop a back to the basket game ASAP to get even close to earning that contract

World's Most Expensive Flopper.

And yes I do realize he does more besides flopping so relax lol.

Not that simple, fortunately.

She says on First Take that she's from Orlando.

And no thanks...cut the headache completely from the picture ASAP. I'd be taking down everything in the Amway Center that has any reference to Dwight.

I don't want this "story" all the way up to the trade deadline. It's nonsense. Give Little Dwight what he wants...a trip to NY. Let the media here stick their claws in him and see what he's made of.

Many athletes have asked and begged to come to NY before. Not all of them had what it takes to deal with all that it comes with.

I'm sure Mr. I'm A Loyal Guy has no idea what he's in for.

Maybe she lives there now, cause she always talks about being from Detroit as well.

You and Pack are probably right, I just don't like the idea of Dwight's stupidity getting let off the hook and him getting what he wanted all along anyway. This idiot opted in, he's shown his *** out this entire time and put Orlando (the fans, not even talking about the team at this point) through hell and for him to get what he wanted anyway in the end leaves a sour taste. I wanna see his ******* scramble with his preferred destination off limits to him and a place I'm sure he would resign to as a backup plan also be off the table. At some point, people need to actually pay for being stupid in the NBA.

Cleveland is out as a third-team trade partner in a possible Orlando-Brooklyn deal for Dwight Howard, sources tell Y! Sports.
