How old was Paul Pierce when he signed his most recent contract?
Hell, the MLE in 4yrs is likely to start at $7m...
I meant verbally accepts our offer.
Best case scenario: Kings renounce Evans bird rights to sign Iggy and allow the Pelicans to sign him without worry about the Kings matching and allowing Demps to pursue other deals.
Sometimes it takes a couple rounds before the top FAs decide to sign. Hope we keep our bid before the deadline at 8pm
Yup, hopefully Denver backs down.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
You do realize Rose got hurt in Spring 2012, right? He coulda come back this year, but sat out all year to make sure he came back ready. You think it's going to take him 3 YEARS to recover??
Gordon gave the "hornets" more last year than the Bulls got from their SG position, and the Bulls still made the playoffs without Rose.
They pushed the Heat in Playoffs without Deng or Rose and have 3 other SFs on roster: Butler, Dunlevey and Snell -their first round pick.
So why wouldn't they trade Deng, who is a free agent and can leave anyway after this season, for Rose's former AAU teammate!???
Tea leaves...
Well played my friend well played

Before Derrick Rose and Eric Gordon were emerging stars in the NBA, they were teammates.
Very talented teammates.
They were so good together during the summer of 2006, some still refer to it as "The Eric and Derrick Show."
Two of the nation's elite guards, Indianapolis' Gordon and Chicago's Rose, formed a stellar backcourt and were one of the nation's top summer AAU teams, almost by themselves.
"It was stupid good," ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. "While it was going on, you knew those guys were that good. You knew how special it was to have them together.
"It was a foregone conclusion that these were two professional players hanging out together for a summer. It was as high level as a summer backcourt could possibly be."
Both are now in their third year in the NBA. Rose, who averaged 25 points this season in powering the Bulls to the best record in the Eastern Conference, has Chicago up 3-0 on the Indiana Pacers in a first-round playoff matchup that resumes today at Conseco Fieldhouse. Gordon averaged 22.3 points for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The two played together on a team called Meanstreets, coached by Derrick's brother, Reggie Rose. The team won the prestigious Peach Jam in South Carolina and finished runner-up in the summer-ending tournament in Las Vegas in late July.
The team usually had only six or seven players. Gordon, who became the Indianapolis Star Indiana Mr. Basketball in 2007, and Rose, Mr. Basketball in Illinois the same year, typically played every minute.
"We just played well together," said Gordon, who attended Thursday's Game 3 of the Pacers-Bulls series. "At that time, we just wanted to show people that we're trying to be the best out there. We jelled together. We both played up-tempo games and loved to attack the basket.'
The two regularly scored 30 points or more, sometimes in the same game.
In the championship game of the Peach Jam, they beat an SYF team that included most of the players who led Purdue's recent run -- Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore, in addition to Notre Dame's Scott Martin.
"We both had close to 40 points that game," Gordon said. "And we both had a lot of dunks."
The two played their natural positions, Rose at point guard, Gordon at shooting guard.
"That was fun," Rose said Friday as the Bulls readied for practice at IUPUI. "We were two guys that just wanted to play basketball all out, that don't show much emotion on the court.
"It was great standing back and watching him score the ball. I always loved his game, even when our high schools played, but it was great playing with him in AAU."
The two played against each only once in high school. Gordon had 32 points, five assists and three steals as North Central beat Chicago Simeon 68-66 in the Challenge of Champions at Southport High School. Rose was held to six points on 2-for-11 shooting.
Together, they were nearly unstoppable.
"Our games fit each other," Rose said.
"He's a scorer and shooter. I was just feeding him. He made my job easy. We really had a great time. I'm still friends with him and his dad."
I really think it's time we start considering how Jrue, Evans, and Deng fit on the court and how good this team can be next season with those three.
I hope for your sake all of this goes down. Otherwise you're going to look pretty dumb.
Damn it...wake me up when someone signs....
Btw I wanted Chase Budigner

Just a reminder ... with what money/cap space exactly are we supposed to do that? (yeah I know we have exceptions anyway but we still lack cap space for the Evans signing).
Tyreke's offer is not the only thing that needs to happen. We have to trade too.
Hopefully, those trades are ready and we are just waiting for Reke's approval to make them official.
And then after those trades, we aren't even sure if the Pels have to target SFs, Cs, SGs or whatever.
Basically, you are asking "when are we going to do something that may be irrelevent the day we are able to do it."
I can't wait for the Evans domino to fall, not because I want us to go after some FA that has received offers already but because that's when we are going to stop speculating about Vasquez/Lopez/Gordon and see what is the team plan for them (and our future needs for FA).
That's true but i was just curious because after that domino falls we will need a SF and a C.
We dont NEED a C, nor a SF, we arent competing for it all right now.... and we still have Vasquez who is a valuable trade chip
Why would I look dumb?
If I can't toss out random theories and trade predictions here... Where can I?
We do but we have trades in the work that are supposed to give us something too so they don't have to be FAs.
What I'm saying is that looking at those SF FAs that are signing contracts and that we would have loved here is pretty moot for now.
Sure it is annoying but we can't do anything but wait for now and hope that the trades Dell is working on (or those undisclosed) give us good solutions. It's only when those trades are a sure thing that we will know what we can offer and what we still need so I don't expect us to be really active with FAs for quite some time after Reke's decision honestly.
Anyone know the significance of AI's tweets just now that McNamara just retweeted?
They were something like "WOW" and "Really?! Ok MOTIVATION."
Arrogance. Basically stating opinions as inevitable facts.
No clue lol
Trying to figure it out. Sounds like he was insulted no?
I and McNamara both think that Denver told him that they arent gonna offer him as much as the Kings
Maybe because he read some tweets like that:
@kpelton Kevin Pelton
Andre Iguodala is the overwhelming leader in the clubhouse for this year's "Good player, bad contract" award.
@RoyceWebb Royce Webb, ESPN NBA
Love Iguodala but why do the Kings want to move up to 11th in the West?
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Iguodala isn't going to be worth $14 mm THIS season, his age 30 season. What about when he's 33? He relies a lot on athleticism too.
Interesting. If that's the case then welcome to New Orleans Mr. Evans.
