2013-14 Transactions Thread

I've never heard anyone, Knick Fans included, think of him as anything more than a role player who plays good D. Right now or before the season started.

Well alright then lol. Apparently you talk to more knowledgeable fans than I because I heard it all the time and I could not understand it at all.

I for one definately thought of him as a better offensive player than he really is. I didn't think he was great but I didn't think he was that bad either.

Yeah, everybody in New York is struggling with their shot this season.

Perfect in a Heat uniform

Aside from all this Jordan Crawford talk, I'd much rather see Riley trade Joel and perhaps draft picks for another big with size, such as Dalembert, Koufos, Udoh, or Mozgov. I think Beasley is more than capable of picking up the offensive load when the Heat decide to rest Wade.

Which is sad to see, since they had such a great season last year from 3 point range. They literally lived and died by the three.

As a New Yorker, I pay attention to the little things in our teams. And on the bench of the Knicks last season, was this man who I feel deserved credit for the team's shooting.

Dave Hopla. A man who is said to routinely hit 495 out of 500 jumpers was the Knicks' shooting trainer.

That's a video of him hitting shot after shot while chatting. He mentions he's helped John Wall before in the video. Possible reason for the Knicks' shooting taking such a hit.

The Bulls release Mike James, ending that whole thing.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

I'm listening to the Bill Simmons podcast while I fall asleep and he's talking to a Lakers insider. Bill threw out a trade he had been tossing around in his head of Gasol and Steve Blake (aka two expiring contracts/a tryout for Gasol) for Deng and Boozer. The Lakers insider said she thought it made a lot of sense for both sides and went on to say she actually thinks those two teams are discussing that exact trade right now and Bill is like "Wait, seriously? I just made that up on the spot". Lol

Surely the Bulls wouldn't do this trade?

I love Deng and I have a like/hate relationship with Boozer. I'd take off work to drive their asses to the Staples Center personally for that deal though. Pau Gasol is 19 million dollars of salary shed in addition to the near 14.5 you shed by getting rid of Deng's deal.

Just looking at salaries. Not doing this deal, at the end of the year we have Luol's $14,312,125 coming off the books, sending us into the offseason with a payroll of $64,525,410. After this however, we can go into the offseason with a payroll of $47,725,410. Might even be less than that if any more moves are made.

Can't see Thibs going anywhere though. That's ridiculous. Guys are just picking up on the "tension" rumors and running with that. Dude just signed a four year extension last October.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

The same way Boston traded Doc Rivers to the Clippers. I don't think it can involve players, so it would have to be draft picks in return unless they find a work around.

http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun...trade-20130623

Rivers and the Celtics had a "non-competition" clause in the contract where he couldn't leave and sign with another team. Boston's control over the situation due to that clause is what made the trade necessary.

Can't a coach simply resign and sign with another team? Didn't Larry Brown pull that once or twice? Pretty sure so, which is why the Celtics had that clause in the first place. I'd imagine NBA coaches contracts aren't too different than college coaches, where that happens all the time.

Some of these rumors are just absurd.

The problem then becomes that you have Owners who either don't want to pay the Coach if he resigns or he does want to pay, he doesn't want to give him the entire salary.

Basically it comes down to whether the Owner wants to pay 2 Coaches at the same time.

Re: 2013-14 Transactions Thread

I doubt it works like that for head coaches. Assistants? Maybe. Head coaches? Doubt it. If they can resign to take other jobs, I'm almost certain it's only to take college coaching gigs. I say this mainly because I can't think of any coach resigning a head coaching job in the NBA to accept the same position with another team. I would imagine if it were possible, we'd see it happen all the time.
