Josh Smith to the pistons : 4yrs / $56mil
Jarret Jack to the Cavs : 4yrs / ~$25mil

Dallas are the big losers this year, have only added Calderon and now supposedly courting Andrew Bynum. Will they do the almost unthinkable and trade Dirk to a contender?

They wanted Howard to give Dirk one last chance but that wont happen now. Bynum was great before his injury, But I do see them going for him in hope.

Cuban is on record as saying if it got to the point where the mavs coudn't contend, and Dirk asked to be traded to a contender, he would do it for him. As it stands now the Mavs will struggle to make the playoffs let alone contend. Why not trade him for a pick and an expiring contract so you improve your own pick for next season, pick up an additional pick, plus an expiring contract so you have shit loads of cap space for the following season.

They were 4 wins behind houston with nowitzki injured half of the season and came back unfit. Not to mention we have kaman whos also injured most of the time lols.

Collison - struggling with dallas offense
Mayo - sometime plays like a superstar something plays like a role player.
Marion - best player while dirk was injured
Brand - throwing bricks
Wright - love the guy but should be playing pf

Howard is stupid.

He wants more post touches, maybe he should have read the analytics report.

He had the 2nd most post ups last season with the Lakers, which includes better post up players in Gasol and Kobe.

Houston are the fastest offensive team in the league, shot the most 3-pointers and had the least post ups.

Not only that, the points per play P&R with Kobe/Nash was godly, around 1.4 points per play compared to his 0.8 or whatever in post ups.

Sure made the right choice.

Houston have waived Delfino, Brookes and Garcia, Lin is being shopped (goodbye China market) as well as Asik. Then watching Harden play iso 30 possessions a game...

So you have

Beverley
Harden
Parsons
????
Howard

Bench of Smith
Montje

Houston was hands down my favourite team last season. I watched every regular and post season game.

Be interesting to see how different Howard will be compared to Asik, Asik was really turning into a good center.

Lakers did everything they could to accommodate Dwight. Nash had to change his game to accommodate Dwight. Kobe had to do the same but half way thru the season, Kobe's tolerance began to waiver and he said fuck it, I'm the superstar in this team. Even Pau, one of the most talented big men in the NBA had to come off the bench... which is pretty darn stoopid really. You can blame the injuries all you want, but the team chemistry clearly wasn't there.

The whole season was a mess and the Lakers had no one to blame but themselves. Now they are in a tough spot with big salaries, not many future draft picks and even fewer superstar free agents to choose from. Best option is to tank it next season and go for the supa dupa free agent class of Lebron, K Love, Carmelo and co.

The Clippers just added Darren Collison to back up his old team mate CP3 for 2 years on a mid level contract. Lakers have added no one thus far...

Nash
Kobe
Metta
Pau
J Hill

Bench of
S Blake
J Meeks
R Sacre

Rockets have signed Fransisco Garcia after earlier not picking up his third year option. Saved them a few million per year.

Mavs have brought home Devon Harris on 3yrs / $9mil .... they are clearly tanking for next seasons draft pick and FA's

It's hard to build chemistry when your 4 stars played only 20 odd games together.

That being said, they went over 70% after all star break. That's mighty impressive.
