It sounds like either Miami or Chicago is going to get hosed. If the Lebron/Bosh to Cleveland deal happens and they turn around and sign Mike Miller/Kyle Korver to the MLE, all of a sudden they are looking tough again and the loser in the D Wade sweepstakes is going to come away pretty empty. Miami has an especially tough scenario without Bosh as they have to fill out the entire roster and cant afford to pay above market prices to midlevel talent which they are almost forced to do.

Atlanta and Memphis both made awful moves, Atlanta especially so. Johnson for a max, $120 million deal is a bad deal if he were 23. Since he is turning 28 the last few years of this deal are gonna be ugly. And do they seriously think this team can make a run after this years disgraceful showing? Memphis giving Rudy Gay $82 million in a year where he is an unrestricted FA was borderline retarded.

The Laker's made a typically shrewd move signing Steve Blake to a 4 year deal for 16 million. He is a better option moving forward than Fisher or Farmer, one of which will probably be moving on.

Worst signings
Johnson -Atl
Gay- Mem
whoever signs Boozer-?
Stoudamire-NYK
Chris Duhon-Orlando

Of course they are. Signing Boozer would be further proof that Donnie Walsh is a fraud

So let me get this straight. The "capologist" on ESPN is saying that Miami can sign LeBron as well and STILL have 11 million in cap space, a trade exception and the MLE? Why were they saying that they would have almost no room if they signed all three?

Me neither...is a relative stiff.


If James doesn't get more attention he is going to fake a fall from the courtside seats at Quicken....and fall all the way to the floor.

He's making the announcement on ESPN at 9est tomorrow.

They are having a primetime "special" for the a-hole.

He is a black Gasol. Works a lot better as a second fiddle. May shower more than Gasol.

That's an insult to Gasol.
