2012 NBA Offseason Thread

the terry signing by the celtics is a great one IMO, if they can retain ray allen and they are healthy going into a playoff series with miami, i like their chances of winning.

as for the mavs, if they dont land williams, im going to LOL for the rest of the summer! and if they cant get anyone decent in a trade, they might have to start looking hard at trading dirk and starting from scratch, dirk wont survive a rebuilding period, he is going to be too old by the time they can get a competitive team together again.

If they can't get Nash they're screwed.

Howard will not be traded to Brooklyn. That trade is a hunk of trash.

This long delay for Deron is a good sign for the Mavs. Regardless of where he goes I can't even be mad. If he wants to make the better basketball decision he will be here. If not, good luck with the Nets, your going to need it.

Dirk isn't getting traded, sorry.

He also has a no trade clause.

i doubt they want to offer him anywhere near as much money as the raptors are offering, and apparently, winning a title isnt really at the top of his list at this point.

probably not, but i think it would be the best thing for everyone involved, dirk can go to a contender, and the mavs can suck complete crap and get top talent in the draft

Rudy Fernandez will sign a three-year deal with Real Madrid.

Fernandez spent four seasons in the NBA with the Blazers and Nuggets.

I've yet to see what the Mavs can put together that's a better team than what the Nets have for Deron.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

When is that clown Deron gonna make his decision?

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Agent for Andrew Bynum says he has not heard from the Lakers or any other team re: trade. "Same chatter....different time of year."

Yeah, LA don't alert agents or players until the deal is complete.

Prob not until Thursday if he doesn't announce anything today, but who knows

The Nets will never be able to compete for a title with that JJ contract.

Unless the Nets land Howard i'll take a team with Dirk on it over anything they can put together in a offseason in a hartbeat

Dirk isn't the same anymore. Dallas already lost Terry and they're probably gonna lose Kidd and West.

Don't agree with that at all. Assuming they can resign everybody they'll be a top 3 seed in the East.

I'm not sure "lost" would be the word I'd use. They could keep them if they wanted them bad enough. I don't think anyone thought Terry would be back, including him. Kidd, maybe, if DWill was with him.

I feel for Dirk right now if they don't land a big fish.
But this team was old as dirt last year and with OKC loaded with young guns, it's time to restock for the long term. I'm kind of dreading one more year of patchwork stuff. Hope it doesn't happen like that.

Right now, it's Dirk, Marion, Carter, Roddy B, Haywood, Wright, and 3 rookies, and misc parts. They'd bring in some good parts I'm sure, but without at least one great one this will not do at all.
I wouldn't mind adding Dragic and a better center if possible to start.

Deron Picks Brooklyn. Weeeeeeeeeee

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Made a very tough decision today.....

Deron is resigning with Brooklyn.

 

[RastaRocket]

Thank god it's finally over.

 

[casmith07]

Well, expect Brooklyn to put the full court press on to get Dwight now.

That will make that team hard to beat.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Deron Williams has reached agreement on a 5 year, $100 million extension with Brooklyn, a league source tells Y! Sports.
