It's always been strange to me that high profile players never wanted to go to Dallas. It's a great city and they've been a constant in the West. Maybe's it's something about Dirk and them not thinking he could lead. Before 2011, other NBA players constantly took shoots at Dirk. Star players included, which you rarely see.

Bruh Dirk ain't good anymore SMH and hasn't been superstar good for awhile. What the fuck are you talking about? That's like saying people never go to the Spurs to play with Duncan.

... In spite of all that, people don't go to Dallas because Cuban is outspoken and too involved. Also after saying that racist shit about how he supports Sterling and how black people in hoodys (regular ass clothing) are the same as skinheads, I doubt any black player with choices will purposely goes to Dallas.

You sound foolish. Players wont go to Dallas, but they'll go to the Clippers? Ok then.

Not a Lakers fan either but I'm not crazy about 6'8 power forwards in today's game.

You got shooting guards and small forwards that big today.

And one that can't shoot at that. Like I said only thing him and z-bo have in common is they're both big, black and left handed. He'll come to play every game but I just don't see him being that great

Agreed he seems more like a Carlos Boozer type player.

Boozer has been a decent player and has had a decent career even though I don't like his game I think of Randle as a similar player.

Solid player but you can't build your franchise around him.

He'd do better going to a veteran playoff squad with a post player that can mentor him.

Carmelo to dallas is very interesting. ......dirks team has missed out on potential FA for quite a while now

Could have something to do with the shit Cuban been spewing in his interviews the past month or so

Im not talking about now. Cuban's obviously fucking himself. Im talking about the past decade all together.

Detroit fans gotta be ecstatic Charlie Villanueva's corpse is off the payroll

Yes Lawd!

What's crazy is that off season I wanted the Pistons to sign him and Ben Gordon. Them niggas was balling for they old teams. Ben was lighting it up off the bench for the Bulls and Charlie was a very solid 15 & 10 guy.

They ended up being signed and that shocked the shit out of me. It's like Joe heard me and said "I got you nigga!", shit didn't work out at all tho. We had too many damn coaches tho so that didn't help.

And way too much money was involved.

I hope Orlando makes a run at Chanlder Parsons and Avery Bradley. If Melo signs with Houston I can see parsons leaving

Melo signs with us parsons is staying. He's more likely to leave if we miss out on free agents because the plan is to max out our cap with a 3rd star and then go into the tax by re-signing cp. I know the one place he's love to be in besides Houston is Orlando

How much you think he gets? I'm thinking 4 yrs and anywhere from 44 to 48 mil.

 
im not sure if they have or if he wants too....but why don't some of these PGs hit up gary payton for some training lessons( or just to pick his brain on the game) like ppl do hakeem? GP got a lot of knowledge to give

or even stockton

LeBron James Reportedly Uninterested In Taking Less Money From Heat Without Promise Of Roster Help

June 17, 2014 By SLAM Staff

The Spurs exposed the Heat’s biggest flaw—lack of depth—in the Finals. At times it seemed the Big Three were Miami’s only productive players, and often it felt LeBron James was the team’s only difference maker. There’s plenty of talk about LeBron potentially taking less money and staying in Miami, but he won’t do it just to save the franchise a few bucks. He wants more talent on the team. From the NY Daily News:

As team insiders have maintained for months, James isn’t interested in reducing his salary from $20.6 next season and $22.1 million in 2015-16 just so that team owner Micky Arison can avoid paying luxury taxes. As they say, been there, done that and all it got James was second place.

Bosh, who makes identical money to James, and Wade, who makes slightly less, at around $41.5 million for the next two seasons, also don’t want to rework their deals solely to give Arison another tax break. They want the money put to good use, meaning adding talent so that Miami can return to the Finals for a fifth straight season. No team has done that since the Red Auerbach-led Celtics of the 1960s.

The Big Three would possibly do what Duncan has done for years so that Pat Riley has the means to bring in a young, athletic wing, along with other new parts. There will be talk about taking pay cuts to fit Carmelo Anthony in, but that is seen as far-fetched.
 
Derrick Rose Would Reportedly Be ‘Fine’ To Play If Season Started Tomorrow

June 17, 2014 By SLAM Staff

We haven’t heard much about Derrick Rose’s recovery lately, but it seems like that’s a good thing. Bulls beat writer KC Johnson believes that D-Rose would be ready to roll if Chicago had a game tomorrow.

As previously reported, Rose began taking full contact in the form of one-on-one or two-on-two or three-on-three offday sessions late in the first-round series against the Wizards. Rose has had no setbacks and, if the season started tomorrow, would be fine to play. He remains on schedule to participate in the Team USA minicamp in Las Vegas at the end of July and hopes to make the World Cup team that will compete in Spain in late August through early September.
