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.

JJ Hickson will sign a 3yr, $15M deal with the Nuggets.

Now we just need to trade off Javail Mgee for a decent Center. Or pick up Monta Ellis...

Nuggets are going to struggle to make the playoffs... they just lost Corey Brewer to the Timberwolves. That's a bigger loss then Iggy to the Warriors.

Ty Lawson / Andre Miller /
Randy Foye / Evan Fournier
Gallinari / Wilson Chandler
Faried / Darell Arthur
Mozgov / McGee

Official Celts/Nets trade :

Nets get : Garnett, Pierce, Terry, DJ White
C's get : Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Marshown Brooks, Kris Joseph, Keith Bogans, the Nets first round picks in 2014, 2016, 2018 and the right to swap 1st rounders in 2017

Nets are all in and looking at paying $80mil in luxury taxes next season. Celts picked up some $1000 scrubs for tanking and draft picks, that when you add to their own high picks, gives them the perfect tools for rebuilding. If they luck out in the lottery next season they can bundle their own high pick and a lower round first to move up if they have to.

If they can land Wiggins then it'll be all worth it. But somehow I reckon they are going to lose out again like they did when they tanked for Duncan.

As for the Nets, 100mil dollar team and 80 mil in luxury tax is unprecedented. The other GM's are calling for an investigation into the AK47 signing. Cos the Spurs were trying to do a sign and trade with the Timberwolves for 8mil per season for 3 seasons for Kirilenko. Then somehow that fell thru and now Nets got AK47 for only the $3.1 mini-midlevel exception.

That kind of salary cut does not sound like AK47 who went back to Moscow to make some money while other NBA players were on strike. Unless of course AK47 is getting under the table deals from his comrade.

Heck, even Kobe Bryant does not want to take a pay cut to help the Lakers rebuild in 2014.

The Nets only became interested in AK47 Thursday when they found out one of their draft picks from a season or 2 ago will not be coming to the NBA this season as planned because they couldn't work out a deal with his euro club.

Prokopov(sp?) is stupidly rich, he won't even blink at spending that much if it means a title, it is all play money to him. As for under the table deals ... well I'm sure they could work out something "back home" that the NBA would never be able track. Most clubs would be up to some sort of dodginess so this would be the same just on a bigger scale ;)

hahah yeah true.. Kirilenko would rather give the money to Prokapoc then to the commish of the NBA. Prokhorov wouldve pauid 8mil and then some (luxury tax) anyways. Pretty sure AK47 is getting more then just the 3.1mil per year.

I bet when he finishes this contract, which is likely his last in the NBA, he goes home and plays for a Russian team and "The Prok" gives him a nice salary ;)

Depends on the production of the old guys (if which they have a few now)
Main roster :
Williams
Johnson
Pierce
Garnett
Lopez

Bench
Terry
Kirilenko
Blatche
Evans

Defending an opposing SG could be a problem, I don't see a legit defender who can defend the 2 amongst those.
