good god
Analysis: The Pelicans will take a long, hard look at both Burke and Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams. But I'm not sure they'll bite. This team drafted Austin Rivers last year to be its point guard of the future and sources say that the team hasn't given up on Rivers, despite a miserable rookie season.

am i nuts or is a 3/36 offer for monta something of a lowball?
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 8 June 2013 14:09 (ten years ago) link
i think monta needs a reality check regarding what a team wants to pay him in 2013
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 8 June 2013 14:51 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's certainly below what monta is looking for--i'm wondering if it's a given that some team will come along with a higher offer.
monta was born abt 12 years too late.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 8 June 2013 14:54 (ten years ago) link
Sounds like Bucks already made the decision to keep Jennings, so why not offer Monta a lowball offer to see if he takes it. Volume-shooting guards seem to always get overpaid during FA, so I'm sure someone is gonna offer him more $ or same money/more years.
Super curious about what will happen w/ Bynum this offseason. Since he has two major strikes against him -- prone to major injuries + not a team leader / coachable dude -- probably means he won't get max deal offers. Would love to see him on a vet / solidified team that needs an extra big. Can, uh ... Miami find a way to hire him for a year?
Also, has there been any Rondo trade talk? Kinda hoping Celtics looking to blow up the team w/ impending Garnett retirement and PP running out of gas soon; that said, since this draft is so weak, this probably isn't the right offseason to blow shit up for prospects.

got to think bynum will take a short offer to prove he can stay healthy then try to cash in w a long max deal
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
can only see the celtics moving rondo for an established star or a sure thing draft pick
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:29 (ten years ago) link
tho I wonder what would happen if a team offered bynum like 4/40

Four years of irritating futility?
― IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL (CompuPost), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link
I just want Rondo in a new situation where his one and only job is to dole out as many assists/game as possible and not surrounded by olds / random roster fodder. Basically, either on a Western Conference team or a team that is in dire need of a trü pg.
― IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL (CompuPost), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:34 (ten years ago) link
maybe but its intriguing cause healthy bynum is worth more than the max, he could make a lot of teams contenders real fast xp
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:36 (ten years ago) link
agreed rondo on a fast paced team w a bunch of scorers would be so sick
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:37 (ten years ago) link
maybe rondo to the nuggs
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:38 (ten years ago) link

oh man, wd love to watch rondo on the nuggs

i bet a team rolls the dice on a long term deal
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:43 (ten years ago) link
max deal? idk
btw as a c's fan i totally bless #traderondo
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:45 (ten years ago) link
im not sure, letting go of good players is dicey
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:54 (ten years ago) link
best policy is prob to wait for the next disgruntled superstar demanding trade
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:56 (ten years ago) link
or james harden cap terror type situation
i love rondo but he is kind of an icing on the cake guy
he would be awesome in houston w/harden, parsons et al i think
if i were a western gm i'd be trying to get him to defend parker/westbrook/conley and as a bonus if you already have a solid team you get to utilize PLAYOFF RONDO which is a whole different animal
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:57 (ten years ago) link
Any team w/o a solid locker room / established player leadership that throws either max money or max years to Andrew Bynum is begging for multiple lottery years. You cannot go anywhere w/ Bynum as your star player, full stop. And that's totally disregarding the fact that he's basically only played one full season his 7-year career.
Wish there were a package Nuggs could offer Celtics that could make sense.
― IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL (CompuPost), Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:58 (ten years ago) link
naw bynum is a legit star when healthy he does everything
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 15:59 (ten years ago) link
but if im danny im probably just trying to rebuild around rondo on the fly because right now it looks like anything below third in the east (after mia, ind and chi if rose ever plays basketball again) will be wide open the next couple of years
xp's

Hibachi otm, although Lin kinda fucks that up.

what
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:00 (ten years ago) link
rondo's on such a good contract, it would be hard to get equal value back for him at that price unless someone trades a few really good young players

morey is an ice cold killer, he would not hesitate to make lin a third/combo guard and actively shop him
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
it's true bynums really good! i mean for him to be the best player on a title team obvs you need a lot of talent around him, hes not lebron, but he could easily be 1b in a lot of differnt title configurations
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
Bynum is a really talented player who contributes zero positives to a team's culture, which is what you absolutely need to be a better-than-decent team. Bynum will absolutely never lead a team anywhere promising besides Lulzland.
― IM ME, I DO ME, AND I CHILL (CompuPost), Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:02 (ten years ago) link
would you guys rather sign bynum at $12m a year for 4 years or dwight howard at $23m a year for 5 years
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:03 (ten years ago) link
gtfo w that culture bs, dude can play
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:03 (ten years ago) link
peak bynum is such a fleeting thing and outweighed by months of stupidity and injury that i can barely even imagine him on a title team anymore
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:03 (ten years ago) link
Oh no, totally don't expect Rondo to go anywhere considering C's dearth of talent / exciting players and his favorable contract. Just feel like that Celts team is about to enter weird limbo and I don't want Rondo's best years sacrificed.

bynums problem is he is always injued, lots of assholes have plenty rings
― lag∞n, Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:04 (ten years ago) link
I wonder if you could get Bynum to sign for 4/20 because he's a stoner.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:04 (ten years ago) link
i actually agree with compupost on that one... i think you could compete for a finals with bynum as your offensive centerpiece but you would definitely need to carefully construct the rest of your team and not just from an on-court perspective
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 8 June 2013 16:05 (ten years ago) link
it's not that bynum's an asshole, it's that he's really immature
idk how many immature players have rings

i have no problems with assholes winning titles and in fact think you need a lil bit of that edge (ahem kobe, but also like s-jax on spurs etc) to get there but bynums assholery is actively interfering with his ability to be on the court c.f freaking bowling injuries

none because in the perfection of nba logic once you get a ring youre no longer immature see Wallace Rasheed et al
