no doubt it's an interesting year.....last year was big, but this year seems to be even bigger....we already had T-Mac and Franchise switch teams and others that are circulating rumors of trades are Shaq, Kidd, Martin (sign and trade), Pierce, R Allen.....man everyone is on the line

I think Cuban should be willing to give up Nowitzki, i mean he's not a franchise player. Don't get me wrong he can play really good but he just doesn't have defence. If he traded Nowitzki and say Nash and Finley for Shaq if it worked, then Mavs would still have talent left over. I think getting Shaq is the Mavs only chance of winning a title.....parting with Nowitzki is a must to get him though

This is going to be a great offseason. Definitely a lot of trading and signing going on.

Wolves need to resign Hassell and Hoiberg (let T-Huddy walk, he is the next Bibby, one good playoff series vs. Lakers and he gets all this fame) and sign Foyle for MLE. And we should be set.

Bibby isn't worth the max. It's just there aren't that many good free agent point guards I know for a fact T-Hud will be signed to a big, long term contract. He isn't worth it, he is a streaky shooter who doesn't know when to pull back and be in control. I would be much happier with Derek Fisher or Damon Jones.

hehe. lol.

Spurs, he should stay there if he wants another championship but if he wants an MVP-type Honors, then UTAH...

btw, do you think UTAH is a racist Team?? cause almost all the players there are white + their coach, Jerry Sloan.

Yeah,as soon as one team has more white players than black players they are racists!They kept Karl Malone on the team because of his skin color so no one can say they're racists

I was almost positive I read somewhere that Ginobili will sign an offer sheet, or is rumored to after July 15th (or was it the 16th?) for 6 years and starting at 9 million. I can't seem to find it, but if I do, I'll post it.

Edit - I found a link, RealGM...RealGM is very credible. However, the key word here is "offer". So it's on the table for Ginobili...but he hasn't agreed on it yet.

Manu definitely shouldnt be worth that much and he was played as a 6th man under Turkoglu

It wasn't because Hedo was better, it was because Pop didn't like starting Manu. Manu provided a good boost off the bench and a grat energy force. Popovich wants a controlled team and start Manu out there with Parker would give him fits :lol:

Plus, Hedo finally picked up his game around the time Ginobili got injured. Hedo was a good boost to the team, a change of pace in that starting lineup when Ginobili went down. He didn't play much earlier in the season because of his defense and lack of knowledge with the system, but once he got a hang of it, he played well....until the playoffs. When Ginobili came back, they discovered what a great spark plug he is off the bench. Some players in some systems and situations are just better coming off the bench and providing energy, scoring, hustle, or rebounding, etc.
