2012 NBA Draft/Off-Season Thread: Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

[Dimmauk]

Houston is basically gonna be Orlando South West now, why would Dwight re-sign there with the same players around him he's had in Flordia??

Explain why he would want to be in Dallas then.

[kisada]

he wouldn't but dwight would be leaving one of the worst FO's in the league for one of the better ones. the team would be a lot different after a bit of time.

[Man0warr]

Explain why he would want to be in Dallas then.

Because the Mavs front office/owner have proven they can and will do what it takes to field a team that can compete. 11 straight 50 win seasons and 12 years going of being in the playoffs, second only to San Antonio.

Can't say that for Houston or Orlando's front office. Orlando did a terrible job surrounding Dwight with talent, that's why he wants out.

[Dimmauk]

Howard should just sign with the Spurs then.

[Man0warr]

If they had cap space for a max deal, I'm sure any FA would consider it due to their history.

But they don't. Dallas is going to be the most attractive team with cap space next summer, unless you like what Atlanta has to offer.

[Dimmauk]

This whole thing is a clusterfuck, if he wanted a ring then sign with LA, if he wants money, then go to NJ or the lesser Texas teams.

This is worse than the decision.

[Man0warr]

Yeah I have no idea why he doesn't want to go to LA.

Kobe isn't going to be around forever, if that's his beef.

[Cail]

This is huge. who ever gets him gets a huge pickup

agreed. also, kwame brown to philly.

and yea, i love dwight, hes a great player. also partial to him cuz he was on my BG fantasy team. but this shit is fucking ridiculous..

[Cleverness]

Only good thing I can say about this is it completely overshadows the Carmelo Anthony drama which overshadowed the Lebron James drama.

[Andalusian girls]

i miss the days when Jordan being a degenerate gambler was the only drama

K.C Johnson ‏@KCJHoop

Pending passed physical, Bulls have traded Kyle Korver to Atlanta. Could be sign-and-trade w/Hinrich. Details soon at http://chicagotribune.com.

[Man0warr]

Wait, wasn't Hinrich just on the Hawks?

[Kaslo]

[Dimmauk]

The uncle drew vs grandpa kobe video was entertaining.

The Dallas Mavericks have successfully claimed Elton Brand off amnesty waivers, a league source tells Y! Sports.

.

one down, one to go for mavs amnesty targets

[Man0warr]

They won't go for Scola now that they got Brand, he was the backup plan.

[Rhinox]

Scola way better than brand lol

[Azull]

Kind of wondering where he will fit in. I am guessing he will pass waivers and someone will sign him outright due to his contract. Good player and i hope he gets onto a good team.
