    Re: Fab 5/Board Members the NBA Years

    Okay I will be heading out of town for the weekend. I will update FA signings when I get home then start playing games in year 3... All the Big name FA' took their player options and resigned leaving the Vipers to choose from the likes of Jason Kidd,Ray Allen, and Shaq to eat up some of their cap space.

      Congrats to Rizzo on being selected #1, disappointed I didn't get selected by the hometown team but after the Nova situation maybe that's a good thing. Plus, I got a chance to contribute to Dallas finally winning a championship.

            I havn't had time to look at their roster, I am guessing that Marvell either might log some minutes at PFalong side Granger or who knows maybe someone will make a trade for Marvell.

              Wow, can't believe I went #1 overall! I couldn't even take home conference player of the year in college, but I can easily get over that knowing that Las Vegas has made me the top pick in the draft. With me and Wes dropping 3's on the wings while being fed by reigning Rookie of the Year John Wall, who will be able to guard all five of us? I'm hoping either me or TJ can grab Rookie of the Year honors this year to give the Vipers back-to-back RoY awards.

              John Wall, Adam Rizzo, Wesley Johnson, TJ Youngblook, Al Jefferson. Sounds like multiple titles in the near future for Las Vegas!

                FREE AGENCY

                Going into Summer all eyes were who would sign the Lebron and what type of fallout would that have on players like D-Wade, A. Stoudamire, C. Bosh, D. Nowitzki,Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady ect..


                After all was said and done, most of the top talent decided to at least take 1 more year to decide. Lebron, D-Wade,Kobe, C. Bosh, Dirk, P. Pierce all agreed to sign their player options and give their current teams 1 more year to make changes in order to help them win a NBA Championship.

                Lebron "I just didn't feel like it was the right time to leave"

                Kobe "Leaving L.A. was never a option"

                Pierce "Why break up a great thing. We are NBA Champs"

                Here is a breakdown of the top players that did test the FA waters and where they signed..


                Tracy McGrady signs a 2yr 16 million deal
                J. Pargo signs a 5 yr 36 millon deal (??)
                Mike Miller signs for 3yrs 16 mil

                Will Bynum-4yrs 29 mil
                C. Villanueva 4yrs 48 mil
                Travis Outlaw 4yr 33 mil


                With rumors of Chris Bosh asking for a trade, the Raptors land some offensive fire power.

                H. Turkogla 4 yr 30 mil
                M. Ginobilli 2yr 22 mil



                After resigning D. Rose with a team option, the Bulls add a backcourt teammate.

                TJ Ford 5yr 71 million !!!!


                Oklahoma resigns Durant with a team option and adds

                Al Harrington 4yr 39 mil
                Jordan Farmer 4 yr 28 mil
                U Halseam 3yr 14 mil


                Not only did the Spurs lose M. Ginobilli but they lose Roger Mason as well replacing them with

                N. Calathes 4 yr 26 mil


                Leon Powe 4yr 17 mil
                Roger Mason 4 yr 31 mil


                Warriors improve backcourt signing Derek Fisher and Richard Hamilton to 1 year deals.



                Missing out on getting LeBron or D-Wade the Knicks look to feel the gap signing Ray Allen away from the Celtics for 2 years 13 million.

                R. Alllen "I am ready to be the man again.. I still got game"



                VIPERS ADD DIESEL TO THE MIX

                After missing out on any big names, the Las Vegas Vipers coming off a playoff appearence, looked to add bulk down low signing Shaq to a 1 yr deal.

                Shaq "How can you not be excited about Vegas Baby!!!!"

                They also add former Dukie #5 Overall pick Shelden Williams to a 2yr 5.7 million deal.

                Seattle's GM "We are very excited to be able to bring in Jason. We believe he can continue to help Randy Foye turn the corner to become one of the best PG in the league as well as help the Savage take that next step in the NBA playoffs winning a Round."

                Kidd "I am exicted about this opportunity. Seattle has a great team with Foye, Joe Johnson, Josh Howard, Al Thorton , this team has the ability to be very good for a very long time."

                    I made 3 huge trades, 1 for each team, I plan on posting those as well as the full rosters of the 3 teams that are being used as well.


                    I also played a couple games today, so I hope to get those posted as well. Look for updates tomorrow night.

                            The trade didn't include Peter Blake but it did open the door for more PT his Rookie year.

                              BREAKING NEWS


                              Good Evening and Welcome to another edition of "NBA Insider" I am Chad Ford. We start out the night with some huge deals going down today around the league. It's been 2 years since we broke the news of the Washington Wizards Franchise closing up shop and moving to Seattle to be renamed the Seattle Savage, well annoucing later that day that Seattle worked out a trade that sent former All-Star PG Gilbert Arenas to the Atlanta Haws for All-Star SG Joe Johnson. The Savage have once again made a huge trade adding another All-Star to the mix by adding Chris Bosh from the Toronto Raptors. Here is a the breakdown of the trade

                              Savage get Chris Bosh and SF Taylor Griffin.

                              Raptors get SF Josh Howard, PF Al Thorton, Seattle's 1st Round pick in 2012 and the Dallas Mav's 1st Round pick (aquired in a deal last year)

                              Seattle's GM "I know some people might question this move thinking that by getting Bosh this could back fire on us and be only a 1 year rental, which giving up 2 #1's and Howard and Thorton is a steep price. However we feel by moving Howard this will open up more playing time as Rookies Seth Johnson and Peter Blake will battle for the starting job with the other playing alot of minutes as our 6th man off the bench"


                              Seattle was not the only team that aquired a All-Star to their linup. The Las Vegas Vipers also coming off a playoff performance looked to upgrade their inside game as well dealing for Amare Stoudemire.

                              Suns get SG Wayne Ellington, SF Corey Brewer, PF Shelden Williams and the Nets 1st Round pick (aquired in a deal for Kevin Love)

                              Vipers get PF A. Stoudamire and SF Jared Dudley.

                              Vipers GM Bryan Young "After adding Adam Rizzo and TJ Youngblood in the draft we felt we had the kind of depth that made since for us to go out and aquire 1 of the Best PF in the NBA. Again some people might think this is crazy and that we had a similar player in Kevin Love last year, but we really believe that have Amare and Al Jefferson in the post and John Wall, Rizzo and Wesley Johnson on the wings that we can match up with anyone in the league. Add in Eddie House,Youngblood and Shaq off the bench, I still believe we have the talent to improve on last year's #'s Plus we still kept our 1st Round pick plus the Knicks 1st Round pick which is something we would have had to give up to get Bosh"

                              Rumors are that the Vipers made a similar offer to the Cav's for Lebron James even adding in the Knicks 1st Round pick, but Cleavland is holding strong to the thoughts of "The King" resigning..


                              After seeing their othe 2 fellow relocated Franchises make moves the San Diego Typhoons went the opposite direction trading away their lone All-Star in Michael Redd. In the last year of his contract, Redd had made it clear he was going to test the FA waters. So rather then get nothing, they made the move by trading him to the Pacers for Rookie SF Adrian Marvell.

                              Pacers get SG M. Redd and the Typhoon's 1st Round pick

                              Typhoon get Rookie SF Adrian Marvell and SF Mike Dunleavy.

                              San Diego's GM "We really like Marvell almost drafted him #2 instead of Wilt Chamberlain JR, so to be able to land now 3 of the Top-10 Rookies of this year class (PG M. James being the other). We believe we have a roster that can grow together and dominate for years to come. PG B. Jennings will continue to run the show, with 2010 Rookie Evan Turner moving from SF to SG and Marvell taking over at SF, with 2010 Rookie Cole Aldrich at PF and Andrew Bogut starting at Center, with James, Chamberlain and Salmons coming off the bench."

                              In a smaller trade, the Typhoon dealt backup Center D. Gudzuric to the Thunder for PF/C Nick Collison. (Both players are in the last year of their deals)




                              My own comments "I really like the deals. I will be sad if both Bosh and Stoudamire don't resign. I gave up alot to get both players, but I think in the end it will help both teams win more games. San Diego continues to be a team that is building for the future but I am excited to play with them as well. I tried deal Bogut but didn't get any offers I liked, but I am going to continue to leave in on the trade block and work on aquiring a 1st Round pick back."
