The Bulls are in such salary cap hell right now, they might not have enough $$$$ to get Kirk Hinrich for a second tour of duty here. Right now, they shouldn't be adding any salary until they part company with Kyle Korver, C.J. Watson & Ronnie Brewer. The same for Omer Asik and that offer sheet in Houston. Let him go!

Who will be a free agent in 2013? This is what matters to the Bulls.

It's actually a pretty deep free agent pool.

You're right, but will the Bulls actually sign one of the big names?

Eric Gordon once again says he wants to be in Phoenix, Hornets fans just want to be loved

Kurt Helin

Eric Gordon really doesn’t like not having a choice where he plays next season. He clearly wants to be wanted and we should all admit the Hornets didn’t really handle that well (Gordon says neither GM Dell Demps nor coach Monty Williams have reached out to him since free agency started).

But Eric — stop pissing off the fans of where you will play next year.

Phoenix has offered Gordon a max deal (four years, $58 million, with the final year a players’ option) and that’s where he wants to be. But the Hornets have said since Day 1 that they would match any offer for Gordon. Including a max. They see Gordon at the two and Anthony Davis at the five as cornerstones of a future contender (and they may well be right). Gordon will be a Hornet, but keeps singing the praises of the Suns.

Gordon is in Las Vegas for USA Basketball’s Olympic tryout camp and spoke to the media. Here are some highlight quotes (with my comments after), all via Joe Gerrity of Hornets247.com.

• On if the Hornets match and he’s forced to remain in New Orleans– “I gotta play basketball”

• On what impact his statements will have on the fans if Hornets match– “Fans will be fans. They gotta understand what’s really going on. As of right now it’s all.. I’m just concentrating on USA basketball.”

Don’t disrespect the intelligence of the fans. They get this is a business for you, but like you they also want to be respected. They are powerless on who comes and goes from their teams. What they want from you is effort and a sense of loyalty, of commitment to them on some level like you are asking from them and the organization. You can leave in a few years, they have to root for the jersey. They relate to management because it is not as transient as the players who come and go. You don’t have to stay to get them to love you, but you have to get them to believe you would stay for them. In the past week you have done none of that.

• On if he felt slighted when Austin Rivers was drafted– “if you look at it, we have no center, we have hardly no bigs, you never know. I’m at a point where I went to Phoenix, I talked to their organization and next think you know they signed the players”

Gordon can’t be so insecure as to think Rivers is threatening his job. And he must have noticed the first draft pick made was a franchise-anchor center, a shot blocking big, right? He’d be happier if they drafted Meyers Leonard? Really? And if you think they should get the free agent bigs on the market, go look at that market again.

• On what made Phoenix a better fit than New Orleans– “the interest. I feel like I’m getting taken advantage of over there just because I’m restricted… if they wanted to…. you know how this CBA, this deal is, it’s built for you to stay with your remaining team, but everything has been taken advantage of”.

I will just say this: The fans of New Orleans will welcome Gordon with open arms next season. They want to embrace him. All he has to do is open his arms up and embrace them back. It’s that simple. Put the business behind you and move on.

Magic signed and traded Ryan Howard to New Orleans for some guy named Gustavo.

Dwight Howard is a terrible GM.

lots of rumors being bandied about regarding Howard....that Bynum won't sign an extension with Orlando if he's dealt...that the Nets are getting closer to getting it done.

Camby to the Knicks, this is alot to pay and alot to give up for a very old man.

Quote:
The New York Knicks will acquire unrestricted free agent center Marcus Camby in a sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets, according to a source close to Camby.

Camby's contract will be for $13.2 million over three years. The Rockets will receive guard Toney Douglas, center Jerome Jordan, forward Josh Harrellson and second-round picks in 2014 and 2015, according to a league source.

I thought that said Jerome James for a second and was about to laugh out loud stoneroses style for him being on the roster still. Damn. Wasnt that contract like 8-10 years ago by now?

They also just gave Steve Novak a 4 year deal, and are still interested in paying Lin. Welcome back to cap hell New York. You're still going to be a first round exit.

It's hilarious they have Kidd that third year also.

I can't wait to watch the 2014-2015 Knicks.

According to Yahoo! Sports' NBA writer Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are OUT in a rumored three-team trade involving the Magic & Nets for big man/diva Dwight Howard.

Rashard Lewis to the Heat :lol: :lol: 2 Yrs / 2.8 Mil Total
Quote:
Lewis became the Heat's top priority when free agent center Marcus Camby agreed to a sign-and-trade to go to the New York Knicks.

Lewis recently agreed to a $13.7 million buyout from the New Orleans Hornets after they traded for him last month. The 6-foot-10 shooting specialist and former All-Star averaged 7.8 points in just 28 games for the Washington Wizards last season after being bothered by a right knee injury.


That guy left about $10 million dollars on the table to get that buyout. What a terrible deal for him. That would have been his last big payday, and he might have been able to earn a better contract by playing for a bad New Orleans team for one season.

I think he's about the 9th-10th man on your roster these days. Hence the DB sarcasm...
