  1. That can't possibly be real
  2. Cap experts on RealGM already disputed this guy's claim. Link?
  3. This article says (implies?) no. http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-freeagency-100629/cap-room-summary
  4. I don't see any scenario where Bosh, Lebron, or Wade sign for under max. And the Bulls CANNOT get 2 maxes without moving Deng. (Or Noah or Rose) Dumping the rookies won't get it done.
  5. It's cause they know that David Lee is already signed sealed delivered to the Bulls at Max
  6. Bosh to Houston would make things nice and interesting with 2 of the top 4 gone to the non max contract teams. David Lee has to be loving this.
  7. Hilariously wrong. Check your facts. ARAM's contract says he can walk at the end of 2010. Why would he want to stay here at all? Because he's hitting 072
  8. The sign and trade would clear cap space, presumably. They are very close to enough space for two max as it is. Not unless they trade Deng it won't. right. I think it counts against the cap. The reason to do it is to get the player (Bosh) money he couldn't get with another team while getting Toronto something back. I either read or heard today that Toronto has no interest in taking back Deng, so I think we're out of that running. Unless Bosh wants to play for Chicago as a regular ol FA (b/c he wants to be on the Rose/James title teams), he's not going to be a Bull. And in order to sign as a regular FA, one of him or James would have to take less than max.
  9. That contract reminds me of Soriano's. Michael Redd
  10. The sign and trade would clear cap space, presumably. They are very close to enough space for two max as it is. Not unless they trade Deng it won't.
  11. I'm not that well-versed in the intriciacies of the cap, but wouldn't a Bosh sign and trade coming first count fully towards the cap. In a case like Chicago where you can only afford 1 max (and the Raptors don't want Deng), doesn't a Bosh sign and trade mean no other top FA?
  12. I would've given even odds that Gooden was out of the league.
  13. Cashner in the major league bullpen is a big complaint of mine, but I don't know who to place the blame on for that. Actually, the entire process of deciding who's in the big league bullpen has been effed up all year.
  14. With that, some of the main players are probably getting shut out in free agency. Not enough chairs when the music stops. Too many chairs seems more apt.
  15. I have a hard time seeing Johnson turn down 6 years from ATL unless he's going somewhere with one of the big 3
  16. Not a chance. We'll know where all the big guys are going by Saturday. I don't think so. THEY may know where they want to go, but they're going to relish in every single minute of media coverage they get about it. In fact, David Stern probably wants them to string it out to keep the NBA as the lead story every night Yeah the only one I see being public by Saturday is Wade staying in MIA
  17. You whiff and shoot for Melo
  18. I still think it's a little dubious to assume the Bulls will get Boozer when so many teams are freeing up cap space that they're going to blow on somebody. I mentioned Cleveland's backcourt D because I know Jamison's a sieve and that Varejao is really damn good. I was saying it to say I don't know if adding defense to PER would help or hurt the Bulls cause.
  19. How are the Bulls signing Bosh and James outright? Or acquiring Bosh in a S&T without giving up Deng? And while I plead ignorance on Cleveland's backcourt defense, so I'm not even saying it helps Cleveland's case, but defense does matter. You can't just add up PER and say this team's better.
  20. That's exactly my point. After this supposed super-deal, they'd have like six players and no money. Isn't this likely to be the case with any team bringing in 2 max (or near-max) FAs?
  21. why are you talking aobut [expletive] that happened several years ago to a completely different roster? this isn't your best thread Well we can talk about last year when the Heat were a better team.
  22. I don't think Tiger's affairs had much of anything to do with Elin's performance
  23. Sulley hate need not be understood
