Hey if anyone can do turn it around for Felton it's Carlisle. Can you imagine if Felton returned to form?

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

How is it dumb? What do you want them to do? They have to spend the money on somebody. And in 2016 they will have all the cap space in the world and a developped Randle.

Because he's not worth 14 mil a season even if it's only for 2 years. I'm more specifically thinking of space for next year when Kobe's contract is still on the books. He's worth 10 a year at most right now. That extra 4 mil is another quality bench player we desperately need on the roster. It's not dumb signing him but anything over 10 is too much.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

How do we know his off the court stuff hasn't effected him or his teammates' game though? The Pacers had a VERY odd dip in production in the middle of the season, and into an inconsistent playoff run. There's speculation his locker room presence has something to do with that. If that's the case, any team would think twice about breaking the bank for him.

We don't, which is why in my first post I said that teams might feel he could have been part of the problem with the team sort of falling apart.. So basically I agree with you.

The post you quoted I was more referring to things that have nothing to do with basketball or his team yet people make something out of it. Like his baby mama stuff, Jordan gambling, Iverson staying out all night, Tiger Woods and his wife... Until that stuff is effecting their profession then I have zero problem with any of it.

@WojYahooNBA on what Bosh told the Rockets: "I want to be in Miami, I want to play with LeBron."

Just came across this tweet? Don't think anyone posted it here.. is that Woj's fake account? Looks like the same one.

Yeah, we talked about it last night, z.

Quote attributed to me on @Foxsports1 feed bit of context: Bosh's preference remains with LeBron in Miami, but he's open to Houston offer.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Basically in line with what he's been saying all along.

time for a Cavs homer reach, but maybe he wants Nike to prepare a "homecoming" campaign lol

Ah ok must've missed that conversation. Although I always felt his decision would come down to LeBron. Still think he should take that offer and run though.

Hasn't stopped Indiana from offering him a deal while quietly trying to shop Hibbert though. He was among one of the issues on the team but not enough to where teams are shying away from him because of his issues but moreso what he's asking for which is ridiculous.

He said it was tweeted out of context. Woj is saying Bosh prefers to play with LeBron, but if LeBron is going elsewhere, Houston would probably be a very strong option for him or something like that. Woj was downplaying it.

I get you. I just feel the Lakers will make sure they get him if they miss on Melo/Lebron wich they likely will. 14M per might be a stretch but even if they where to give him that they could still get another solid FA and some good role players.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Honestly if I were Bosh I probably would've bolted Miami.

I'm just not in love with Rockets management though

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Not too sure what to make of the whole bosh leaving and melo coming in scenario. Maybe Mcbob was brought in to fill that void left by bosh?

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

The other issue I have is how these two guys have basically brought the entire free agency period to a complete halt.

Its ridiculous
