I have to admit I didn't pay too much attention to the NBA during the Nash era, so I stand corrected. They did have a decent team but couldn't ever take the big trophy home.
Everything since then has been rubbish!

More "agreeing" today (nothing can be signed until July 10 from memory) :
Wolves : Budinger 3 yrs/$16mil, Martin 4 yrs $28-$30mil (great moves for the T-Wolves, finally some outside scoring, but Martin is a slight overpay but that is what they need to do to get players to Sota) Rubio/Martin/Budinger/Love/Pekovic (assuming he stays) is far from a poor starting 5 and they have a solid bench with a number of young guys that will hopefully improve. Hell they might almost make a 8th seed if they can stay healthy.
Spurs : Splitter 4yrs/$36mil - spurs preparing for the post Duncan era
Pacers : West 3yrs/$36mil - also signed CJ Watson as backup PG. Larry Bird makes his first big move back in charge quickly. Probably overs but by all reports he is a locker room leader ... can't wait to watch grainger and george on the floor next season!
New Orleans (I just can't call a team the ... PELICANS!!!) : gave tyreke evans a 4yr/$44mil offer, kings are mulling over whether to match.
The Kings in the mean time offered Andre Iguodala 4yrs/$56mil then a few hours later pulled the offer as he wasn't interested ... maybe they just realised there were one too many zeroes in the offer before he could sign ;)
Teams are interested in Greg Oden ...... gee they must be desperate and willing to take a huge gamble

is that martin as in kmart from okc?

yep

LOL the Pelicans are trying very hard to get rid of Eric Gordon. First Jrue Holiday and now $44mil for Reke evans which the Kings won't match.

Free agent guard O.J. Mayo is closing in on a multiyear contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. Dallas has even more cap room now to sign Dwight and....? Josh Smith?

Manu Ginobili gets two-year, $14 million deal from Spurs. Not happy with his turnovers in the Finals he wants another chance to redeem himself.

I was expecting manu to retire, guess he and Duncan are going to hang in for as long as they can.

Korver 4yrs/24mil to stay with the hawks ... good money for shooting 3's and doing ashton kucher impersonations

LOL yeah I expected Manu to retire too, he was so bad in the finals. But for $14mil for 2 years, he must still be good i nthe eyes of the Spurs.

Kings gave $56mil to Iggy then turned it down, now traded Tyreke Evans ($44mil for 4 years) to the Pelicans for Vazquez.
"As part of a sign-and-trade arrangement, Evans will come to the Pelicans on a four-year, $44 million contract. New Orleans will send guard Greivis Vasquez to the Kings and center Robin Lopez to the Trail Blazers, sources said."

I don't understand teams going for mediocrity (first round fodder, whatever) when the next draft is supposedly the once in a generation kind with 8 potential all stars.

They say generation but I think it's a little more frequent than that.

Dwight chooses houston, houston trying to trade lin and asik for josh smith
Iggy joins gsw

Mavs is running out of free agency players :(

Nice, Olajuwon was right when he said Dwight was a 90% chance to choose the Rockets.

Pelicans are trying to trade Ryan Anderson for Asik now... Not that the Rockets would bite on that cos they already have Parsons who can spread the floor... But with Anderson at PF too, that would really open up the paint for Dwight.

PG Lin
SG Harden
SF Parsons
PF Anderson
C Dwight

Beverley
Delfino
Thomas Robinson
Garcia

Wow Dwight is a real dick. Keeps bailing out on teams because they only just make the playoffs. Maybe he should start playing better basketball and work on his free throws if he really wants to win?
