Haywood and max isn't something you hear everyday…The lack of "real" free agents this summer is pushing up values. And with several teams a piece or so away, there are buyers.
Charlotte, Bulls, Suns. I suppose you could add wolves, but we'll see there.
In theory, NOLA and DET are too.
Only Jazz player since Pistol Pete to go 16/5/5 in a season though. What's frustrating is his inconsistency, sometimes he looks god-tier and sometimes he is scrub-level.
He needs to play in a higho-temp offense, i would honestly say he is one of the best transition players in the league.
Coach Nick thinks he changed his shooting form, strangely.

It's not a knock on Haywood but a max would be foolish... Haywood might be a great number 2 for a team but if you looking him to carry your team...
Of course I could be proven dead wrong

Wait, we're talking max for Haywood? Uter plsHe turned down a deal last year that would've paid him 10+ million a year,no?
Hayward is a guy who should be the 4th best player on a contender. He's okay, but not special defensively, and his style of play is best suited to being a third option on offense. I haven't mentally adjusted to the new cap figure yet so I can't say how much exactly he should get, but definitely nowhere near a max.
He's probably gonna get something around 9 or 8 though. The thing is, someone is gonna make Utah jump...Wait, we're talking max for Haywood? Uter plsHe turned down a deal last year that would've paid him 10+ million a year,no?
RT @NickSwagyPYoung: “@FarazAlizadeh: @NickSwagyPYoung where did you get the nickname Swaggy P from?” God
Looks like it is confirmed.
@Lakers: BREAKING: Mike D'Antoni has resigned as Head Coach of the Lakers. http://t.co/YiiFWA6jl7

Cavs are going to go after D'Antoni aren't theyHighly unlikely.
They can't get mike brown, fire him, then get Mike D.
Too many laker coaches in a row.
I just don't see him getting much under 10. Really, even at 10 that would be a nice get.He's probably gonna get something around 9 or 8 though.

Batum is making 11.. do we really see him getting less than him in another upcoming "LOL THEY GAVE HIM HOW MUCH???" offseason?
Grats Lakers fans. D'Antoni is the most overrated coach of all time. He took a prime MVP Nash and healthy Amare to the conference finals. Big woop. His style of play does not win championships.

I feel real good about this prediction: Thibs becomes this summer's Doc (traded for a future 1st Round Draft Pick), then Chicago hires Fred Hoiberg.
That would be huge.

That restaurant is fairly noisy, and the room they're in is a huuuuge private area. The guy is either joking or he's full of shit, he didn't hear so much as a peep from them.

If he did he'd have to face the realization that if Nets don't make the ECF he probably won't be posting next year.
I want MDA to go to Minny just to see how many ppg they can average as a teamRubio would average like 13 assists.

Kobe is never getting another ring. Lakers are done for another 4 years bro. Celtics got a better chance at chipping before LA does.
Someone please tell me there is an athletic SF that can shoot that will be available at 22.
cleanthony early and maybe rodney hood
Saw Early during that Kentucky game and if that is what his game is consistently like then yeah we need him.

Tell that to Carlos Boozer.
Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that Knicks president Phil Jackson has informed Carmelo Anthony that he is fully expecting to hire Steve Kerr as head coach.Gee I'm so suprised at this.
According to the New York Post, the Lakers aren't even including Kerr on their list of candidates because he's too far along in talks with the Knicks. Meeting with Anthony on the matter served two purposes: To confirm that Jackson will try to retain his star scorer in free agency, and to tell him Kerr will be an extension of the Zen Master on the the sideline. Kerr, of course, spent five seasons with Jackson's Bulls, winning three championships
and Kerr is supposed to be an interesting prospect....why?
bringing an unproven coach into that hellpit is going to be an absolute disaster, I'd absolutely bolt if I were Melo

I'm not even sure what the goal of the Knicks will be next season. They have their pick for that year because they can't give up draft picks in back to back years but its not like they have an abundance of young talent to develop. When you're working on just 1 or 2 young guys on a team like that it gets ugly. Injuries happen more. Bad habits solidify themselves. Mindfucking.
Phil's got his work cut out for him if he's out to take the this job seriously and not just collect checks, blame Dolan for everything, then move on to his next job like nothing was fault and he was good for doing as well as he did in such a 'horrible' situation.
Let's all take a sigh of relief and appreciate the fact that our favorite teams did not draft McLemore.

Might get a chance to draft his taller Canadian doppleganger tho.
Tell that to Carlos Boozer.
Boozer has sat many minutes, and had plenty of DNP's, and even lost his starting spot, when he refused to play D.
I'm not saying Thibs can make someone great at D. But he won't play you if you won't play hard on D.

You say that like he wouldn't be the best wing on the Cats.
