NBA Trades and Free Agents 2011 - 2012: Where would you like to see who go?

BlackMamba · May 30, 2011, 02:22:37 PM

I know it's a bit early, we still got the Finals between the Mavs and Heat to go but just wondering what all your thoughts are on next season' possible trades. The big 3 Free Agents are Dwight Howard, Deron Williams and Chris Paul. There's also rumors that Josh Smith might be traded.

I have a feeling CP3 is gonna end up at Knicks in the end because he made that toast last yr at Melo's wedding about forming their own Big 3 at NY. TO be honest I would also prefer him to go the Knicks and hope they can smash the Heat up lol. The other places I see CP3 are at the Magic if Dwight stays and someone convince the NOH to trade Paul over to the Magic though who would want Arenas' crap contract lol (prob gonna end up keeping him).

I have feeling he might end up a Laker. Heard rumors that Lakers might wanna get rid of Bynum, so maybe they could package like Bynum, Odom, Brown for Dwight (maybe even Gasol). Lakers apparently wanna get a new point guard, so again I could see Paul and Howard together at the Lakers lol.

I reckon DWill is probably gonna stay at the Nets. Thing is he can lure the others there as well because I think they will have the salary cap to accommodate at least another max free agent. It would be pretty dog if he ditch them after they made so much effort to get him in the team but then again it was probably against his will lol.

So anyways my predictions are:

CP3 to NYK.

Superman to LAL.

DWill stays at NJN or Brooklyn Nets.

Where would you like to see who go?

CP3 still has a year to run so it would have to be a trade...

i dont think the Knicks can get him under the cap now they picked up Billups' option

www.iamagm.com this bloke is a great source of trades etc...

apparently the Blazers r talking to B Roy about possible retirement :o

DH12 probably wont go anywhere, Magic will offer the biggest contract...

BlackMamba · May 30, 2011, 02:35:54 PM

I meant at the end of 2012 cause they obviously ditch billups afterwards. They signed him so he could be trade bait I'm pretty sure or be there so that contracts can match.

Thanks for the link I will check it out. I heard about BRoy. They don;t want him under the cap or sumthin.

RiOtChEsS · May 30, 2011, 02:47:12 PM

yeah i guess thats what it is :-\

read an article via the oregonian yesterday with Patty Mills and he was really angry about it...

tbh i cant see much movement until the CBA is sorted which could end up like the NFL :-X

nobody is going to be taking on big contracts from trades and its hard to sign a guy DH12 when ur not exactly sure what u can offer...

which is why i think he stays in Orlando bcos there is already room for his contract.

The big one I am interested in is will the Knicks sign Dalembert. (I am a Kings fan). I would like to see what we could get for him with a sign and trade (most likely I am dreaming this would happen). We have 2 developing centres in Cousins and Whiteside. Whiteside spent last season in the D-Leagues

i cant see what u could get in exchange for him tho :-\

The Knicks talent and depth were raped and pillaged by The Nuggets in the Carmelo 'ineedthirtyshotsagame' Anthony trade...

valkorum · May 30, 2011, 03:35:05 PM

Maybe future trade options is the best they can offer

apparently its a done deal The Denver Post have reported to ESPN they have...

TRADED Carmelo Anthony to The New York Knicks...

i hope for The Knicks sake this combination works out

DEAL: Knicks get Anthony Billups Williams Carter Balkman Brewer

Nuggets get Chandler Felton Gallinari Mozgov 2014 1st rd pick 2 2nd rd picks and 3million cash

Timberwolves get Eddie Curry and Anthony Randolph

their flowered Valk! they hold minimal quality picks in the 2 coming drafts aswell which is why those picks r for 2014

valkorum · May 30, 2011, 04:34:16 PM

So basically they have nothing to offer Sacramento so they are hoping they can offer Dalembert a decent enough contract to get him to not re-sign with the Kings and walk.

Hmmm

Brandon Roy is a great player who cant get his body right :'(

Windigo · May 30, 2011, 07:42:18 PM

Don't want to sound harsh.

But I watched a few blazer games and Roy just has no explosiveness and is real slow.

He will only be a role player coming off the bench if he keeps playing. Still good for 10-15 points if his mind is in the right place.

D-12 to LAL?

Gasol has to go for that to happen.

D-12 would be the main man & Kobe would play the same role he did with Shaq back in the day. ;)

RiOtChEsS · May 30, 2011, 08:01:33 PM

Roy has bone on bone in both knees, which only microfracture surgery can help and thats 12 month recovery which he hasnt/wont do...

Dwight is sooo not gonna go to LA ;D i cant believe there is even rumours it has no substance...

apart from being all Hollywood why would he want too go there? their all getting long in the tooth :-X

Dark Horse will be Chicago, they wont be happy with that finish and who wouldnt want to play with a 22 year old D Rose 8)

Windigo · May 30, 2011, 08:29:21 PM

QuoteDwight is sooo not gonna go to LA

Gee, we an dream can't we. :P

Quotetheir all getting long in the tooth

So what if LA are a bunch of dinosaurs.............. :-\

Cicjose · May 30, 2011, 08:30:19 PM

Boston are the same way.....

Windigo · May 30, 2011, 08:34:27 PM

Has Shaq retired yet?
