It looks like the Marion-trade will be a four-team trade...

...Orlando Magic get -- trade exception and cash considerations from the Toronto Raptors, and cash considerations from the Dallas Mavericks

...Toronto Raptors get -- Hedo Turkoglu, Devean George and Antoine Wright

...Dallas Mavericks get -- Shawn Marion, Kris Humphries, Nathan Jawai and cash considerations, Greg Buckner (from Memphis)

...Memphis Grizzlies get -- Future seconc round draft pick from Dallas, Jerry Stackhouse and cash considerations (from Dallas)

thus far, it seems like the Spurs' RC Buford has been giving a clinic on how to be a GM.

- Got RJ for spare parts
- Got Haislip at a discount
- Got McDyess from under everyone's nose
- Drafted well, from many scouts' observations
- Kept the core intact

SA is Friday the 13th all over again. Scary.

I'm happy with the Spurs' lineup. The only question is, do Duncan and Ginobili still have legs to pull out a ring?

And why didn't they get Gooden? He will be a good addition in their frontourt.

Battousai · « **Reply #123 on:** Jul 10, 2009 at 11:00 AM »

Whoa! A possible Portland-Chicago-Utah deal is in the works with Utah getting Tyrus Thomas, Bulls getting Boozer and Portland landing Kirk Heinrich.

They can still re-sign Gooden, if they want him back...since, the Spurs currently have 11 players under contract...and if you include Dice and Blair, that's 13...that means, they can still sign 2 more players...they might bring back Bowen, para mag-retire si Bowen in a Spurs uniform...or, they might sign McClinton, for his 3-point shooting...

sa spurs they need to make sure that manu is 100% and finley can still slug it out with younger players. as for TD, consistent pa rin siya. tapos si tony parker he should limit his shot attempts pag healthy lineup sila para lahat involved and confidence builder din yun sa mga kakampi niya para maganda ang takbo ng offense and defense nila.

Brandon Bass to the Magic, signed...Grant Hill and Channing Frye to the Suns...Paul Millsap gets an offer from Portland...

PLUS, Dice is now OFFICIALLY a Spur...

agree about the spurs being under the radar... blockbuster they are not but a huge impact on the team.
not only they have those acquisitions you do remember george hill and roger mason giving the spurs quality minutes when manu was down.

I'm hoping the Jazz are able to get rid of Boozer and sign Milsap. My only question is, why did they give Okur 21M for 2 years? I don't think he's worth 10M+, at least not in this economy.

joey escalera · « **Reply #129 on:** Jul 17, 2009 at 09:02 AM »

maybe its becoz memo is the only decent center they could have...

rusty · « **Reply #130 on:** Jul 17, 2009 at 09:35 AM »

Big men tend to be overpaid and Memo's contract is fairly short term. That's still a bargain compared to Varejao's 6-yr $50m contract. Lebron's definitely leaving Cleveland next year.

Looks like Andre Miller is going to Portland. They really needed a solid PG more than another frontcourt player. Roy should focus on scoring.

Is Odom re-signed yet? Waiting sucks.. Hope it's not for nothing.

geckoph · « **Reply #140 on:** Jul 27, 2009 at 12:12 PM »

Gooden will be signing with the Dallas Mavericks...

Munskie · « **Reply #141 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 07:55 AM »

Odom stays put.

Sorry League.

Wiggum · « **Reply #142 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 08:18 AM »

^ Ayos! Kasado na ang LA.

Si Boozer, saan kaya babagsak? After Odom, he's the only player who matters in all the remaining off-season discussions. Si Iverson din pala.

dyerds · « **Reply #143 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 08:25 AM »

Like Odom, si Boozer ang bagsak din nyan sa Utah.

Sira na yung plano ng Heat na kunin si Odom eh kaya baka hindi na rin nila ituloy na kunin si Boozer. Iverson...primadonna eh.

ivannn · « **Reply #144 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 10:16 AM »

good decision by odom.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #145 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 10:40 AM »

Odom's decision was spot on. Now the Lakers are all geared up for another run at the title. Toughness issue? After knowing what it takes to win it all im sure may angas na Lakers this time around. They cant be bullied around anymore and if they do then they unleash Artest to strike back.

ivannn · « **Reply #146 on:** Jul 31, 2009 at 03:26 PM »

kahit crowd di patatawarin ni artest

edboy7 · « **Reply #148 on:** Aug 02, 2009 at 12:05 AM »

from what i heard meron palang rift between Odom and Artest kaya pala Lakers pulled out their offer to Odom the 1st time..mukang ok na siguro ...and Its still the same contract right?

I can see 2010 Lakers vs Celtics finals in the horizon hehehe if KG is going to be healthy are year round

Battousai · « **Reply #149 on:** Aug 02, 2009 at 03:58 AM »

Never heard of an Artest-Odom rift. What I know is that they've been friends for a long time and being able to play with his friend on the same team was one of the things that made it easy for Ron to sign with the LAkers.

Oh, Bruce Bowen got waived by the Bucks. I wonder which team will sign him or if he goes back to San Antonio. Baka kunin ng Boston or Cleveland yang si Bruce kung hindi sya bumalik sa Spurs.
