Sunday NBA rumor mill

in Denver Nuggets: Free Agent News
Email
PrintNot much news to report on the Denver Nuggets front, perhaps a possible trade for Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Marreese Speights if Nene isn't re-signed, reported by David Aldridge. The team opened training camp Friday (Dec. 9) evening and still have roster spots available. The Milwaukee Bucks matched the Nuggets offer on forward Luc Mbah a Moute, Nene is still on the market along with Arron Afflalo, and in a bizarre move - the Lakers gifted Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks. Yes, the same Mavericks who swept the Lakers in the playoffs last season.
Word around the NBA campfire:
- The Blazers reached a two-year agreement with Kurt Thomas. The same Mr. Thomas that I believed played on the 1999 New York Knicks NBA Finals team, after the last extended lockout. Good omen for the beat up Blazers?
- What do the Lakers get back from the Mavericks? A large trade exception and a 2012 first round pick to perhaps use in a Dwight Howard trade. People are slamming the Lakers for making this deal, but if it helps get them D12, they wont look so lost. And the Chris Paul to the Lakers trade is officially dead ... now he can sign there as a free agent for nothing!
- Jason Richardson signed a four year deal worth $25 million to stay in Orlando. Why would he do that? Why would they sign him to that deal? Richardson had been rumored to be suited for the Chicago Bulls, but perhaps he was asking for too much money for their blood.
- The Nuggets have an interesting rookie on the roster. Julyan Stone, out of UTEP. He's a 6'6''-6'7'' point guard who broke Tim Hardaway's assist record at UTEP. For a good read about him, check out Kalen's piece on Roundball Mining Company where he brought in a UTEP writer for the scoop.
- The Los Angeles Clippers will match the Golden State Warriors offer sheet on restricted free agent (RFA) DeAndre Jordan. The young center is the proud owner of a new four year and $40 million contract. Not bad for a kid who only shoots 41.4% from the free throw line.

hold on, Nate
Denver will trade a 2nd round pick for Maurice Spleights if they can’t get Nene to resign. That’s something….isn’t it?
Indeed it is!
I’ve always liked Speights … not sure what his attitude is like though.

Cap holds
I read an interesting article over at roundball that with our cap holds our team salaries is around 100mil. The nuggets can’t renounce there cap holds or they lose the restrictions on AAA and Wilson and bird rights on kmart,nene and Jr that’s why the nuggs used the MLE on M&M even though we were under the salary cap. Very interesting how the buisness side of this all works and that’s probley why the nuggets are so quite.
by tknuckle on Dec 11, 2011 12:20 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Is it really that big of a stretch to not renounce the rights of KMart?
24million dollar cap hold?!!!

At least renounce kmart for some flexibility.
by tknuckle on Dec 11, 2011 12:32 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Do the holds count towards the salary floor?
If so, there’s your reason nobody’s getting renounced…this team has no intention of doing anything but pulling an Avs for the year.
The only question is whether they remain like that in the future, or if they let themselves start spending again after 2012.
god i hope not
that was my immediate thought after reading that article.

wtf masai, Plz pay attention
The Memphis Grizzlies are in advanced discussions with the Indiana Pacers on a sign-and-trade deal that would bring free agent Josh McRoberts to the Grizzlies and send guard O.J. Mayo to the Pacers, according to sources close to the process.
I always liked McRoberts
Dude is serviceable. We lost out on jerobko also which I thought would have been a good pick-up he was restricted but coming of bad injurie

They're both hungover in a cabin up in Estes Park
Heard they tossed their smartphones into the Big Thompson early this morning during a blackout drunk. After an aborted attempt to climb Long’s Peak, they tried some little climbs down on Lumpy Ridge, but couldn’t even make it up Twin Owls.
Some friends saw them shooting pool at Bob and Tony’s on Elkhorn Avenue just before closing time. They’re staying at River Spruce Cottages in Estes. Right this minute they’re trying to get some breakfast to stay down at the Big Horn Restaurant. Somebody should drive up there and get them back to work. Tell them they could still salvage the season!

They showed with last year’s performance that they are among the best at what they do. Diligence is their middle name, and creativity is their A game.

But when you see the money being thrown around…. still.
Bird’s contract a steal.
And Larry closes the deal
David West has agreed to a 2 year, $20 million deal with Pacers, league source tells Y.
Someone tell me why we aren't chasing Humphries?
Dude averaged a double double last year and plays PF. If we don’t get Nene, why not sign him? He comes a lot cheaper, plays D and grabs boards, and can score occasionaly.

I just learned something (not too tough for me)
RE: potential West deal. Celtics hadn’t signed their draft picks, as then they couldn’t be traded (for 30 days) so apparently they could trade their “rights.”
Have I ever mentioned that I really like those celts picks
I say we send them Kufas for the pair of Purdue boys
poor rockets
Rockets pursuit of MGasol still a longshot. Memphis likely to match, unlikely to do sign-and-trade. It’s a Hail Mary after trade collapsed.
I just looked at Memphis' roster
All they’ve got is Haddadi behind Gasol, hahaha. And really, a contract starting @ $10+ million
seems not that bad, for a decent center.
this is good news though
nuggetsnews Benjamin Hochman
Watchin #nuggets practice.. Gallinari, imo, is best player on the court .. Hustling, hittin jumpers, makin steals, drivin hard
If you guys had to guess, who do you think this is about?
The dunks don’t count any more points than a 10 footer (which he’s never made in his life) and the blocks into the third row just give the ball back to the other team – so yeah, there’s an element of flash to his game that might cause him to be overvalued. He’s getting a reputation as a defensive force, but the truth is he’s still not a great post defender, he still bites on way to many up fakes, and he rarely bothers to box out, preferring just to turn and chase the rebound.

"J.R. SMITH! WITH NO REGARD FOR COMMON SENSE!" - Future Kevin Harlan Quote
"They're two-deep at the crazy position!" - Kenny "The Jet" Smith.
That was an enjoyable read.... (thanks for the link)
Myself, I fell in love with Ibaka a couple of years ago and lordy has his game just grown. He’s starting to develop a good offensive game to be more well rounded, but his defense can be dominating as we all witnessed first hand. It’s why I have mixed feelings ’bout signing Nene.
I guess this is old news.... or not?
So Denver’s standing offer to Nene reported to be 5 @ $60 million.
With the Nets being at the front of the line for Howard, they likely have Nene on hold, understandably.
Plus Houston now pursuing Marc Gasol plus they don’t have the cap sp. for Nene.
So how long does Nene want to be played ? Would he just accept the Nugget’s offer? Of maybe they meet in the middle somewhere?
On the one hand I don't want to lose him,
On the other hand, nobody’s been able to steal him yet. I thought he’d be gone by now.
I even questioned Nate’s gut (feeling) haha. So far Team Ujiri/Kroenke still holding court.
i think we are waiting for someone to offer nene and sign afflalo to deals
so we can match aflallo’s and extrapolate whatever deal nene gets with a 5th year, and then if that is not enough they can always bring it up to 75.
although if the reports are true about n.j.’s offer to nene that would make any 5 year deal at 75 mil anyway.
by Patrick KB. Nugget on Dec 11, 2011 3:12 PM MST up reply actions
i read on nba.com
that n.j. had offered nene 4 years at 60 million, but i think it was less an offer than an agreement to amount if they are not able to get howard, cause this was prior to his demanding a trade.
by Patrick KB. Nugget on Dec 11, 2011 3:19 PM MST up reply actions
so basically, with houston and indiana now out of the picture,
if howard goes to n.j. not only do we get nene, but it royally screws the lakers. that’s what we as nuggets fans have got to be rooting for.

Curious how this plays out
Looks like Nene wants the Nets deal but they’re holding court until they know on Howard. How long are they going to wait. Indiana and Houston now out of it. Sacremento is fairly numbered at 4/5 positions. GS only has about 11 million to throw out and is now locked in to Jordan. So cap space is limited to two teams really.
i honestly don't think nene wants the n.j. deal,
as much as he wants to have it offered so he can get denver to shell out the 5th year. i just hope we do if it comes to that. i really just hope that dwight goes to n.j. so we can get a better deal on nene.
by Patrick KB. Nugget on Dec 11, 2011 3:24 PM MST up reply actions
Clippers still haven’t seen offer sheet for RFA C DeAndre Jordan, but expected to late afternoon. The 4yr offer is in the $42 million range.
It would seem that deals for Paul and Howard will take many more days
or even weeks. One would think Nene would get resolved real soon, but who knows?
Julyan Stone just tweeted
“learning everyday in practice. I can see y Andre miller has had a long and productive career. Watching and learning from him is a blessing”
I then tweeted at him saying I liked his attitude and willingness to learn to which he ACTUALLY REPLIED! He said he appreciated it and he ready to work.
Feels good that he actually had the time to reply, seems humble and really committed to learning.

He has potential
Although he can’t shoot he will be able to defend both guard spots, he also broke Tim hardaway’s assist record at UTEP. George Karl loves that 3rd string PG to have on the bench just in case. Example AC

too rich for the cheap clippers?
DeAndre Jordan has signed a 4 year, $43 million offer sheet with Golden State, agent Greg Lawrence tells Y!
works out to be..
About 10.7 million a season. It’s probably front loaded though. Jordan is worth less then that, but only just in my opinion. Id give him 8-9 million a season. In a league that lacks many quality big men he is very valuable and has so much potential. The seal is to much but it’s bit the worst contract in the league like some people are making it out to be.

Would NJ Be Attractive to Nene?
Not sure, .. Probably depends on Howard. Nene just doesn’t seem like a NYC kind of guy. The media there can be really tough, and Nene is a pretty sensitive dude. I tend to agree with Karl— if the money is right, Denver seems like a no- brainier for him.

and waits while deals go down around him. I wonder if he feels ‘disrepected’ now?
This whole weekend was suppose to be an exciting
FA experience, short,deals going down left and right but no we get the melo drama all over again. In glad I took 4 days off of work to enjoy this part of the NBA but the whole situation turned out to be a bummer.

If clippers lose all those assets
and don’t pay to keep Jordan’s massive offer. The team looks like Paul, Griffin, Butler + cheap scrubs. Can’s say that’s anything more than an 8 seed, IMO
Wait... What? This has to mean there's hope for the Nuggets some day.
As currently things stand, two of the top five players want to be traded.
One wants to play for the Nets, one wants to play for the Clippers.
Who wouldathunk?
its because all the big boys already have good teams and no space
nets still NYC market, Clippers LA market, Both also have stars already there. Besides once upon a time AI was a star and was traded to Denver to team up with a star…or was that just a fairy tale?
that was before the recent unprecedented selfishness
of anthony, lebron, bosh, paul howard etc.

Reggie Williams?
What have all of you been thinking about with Reggie? Would he be a good scorer to come in wit the second team? I think I am seeing that GS is not pursuing him too hard.
i'm hopeful
i’d love to see us get reggie….we’re one of five teams pursuing him, it’s reported, and i think he’d be a great swingman for us who can play the 2 and 3.
i liked reggie williams better in the 80's
he’s gotta be 50 by now ;)

Nene report: He’ll end up w/either Nuggets, Nets or Rockets. But consistent word on this is that Dwight/Marc Gasol sagas must play out first
Jason Giambi for player-manager in 2012!

Hearing Denver still confident of finding way to re-sign him. Rockets obviously trying to steal M. Gasol first but still covet Nene. AND:

Fastest: Ty Lawson
Slowest: Al Harrington (slower than Mozgov and its not that close)
Koufus is actually pretty fast. Nearly as fast as Jordan Hamilton (who is not fast). Birdman didn’t seem to run in this one.
freakin awesome
Gallo has some wheels too holy cow! Would have liked to see Nene and AAA run that.

I say we let forbes go
all he will do is get in the way of Faried and Hamilton here. Might as well just keep Higgins if we feel we need to replace him for that emergency guard roll, but we probably already have with Stone. Plus Toronto will be better for him, Klezia’s out for like the first month of the season and they called off the Pietrus trade so he’ll actually get some real burn there.
i agree
Plus Higgons from what i hear can shoot so i wouldnt be so worried about losing Gary. Sounds like the Raptor fans are stoked to get him and they think he can really ball lol.

Dexter is great ...well was great.
This season is kind of iffy. Homeland is the best new show this season IMO. It’s basically a spy thriller for lack of a better way of describing it but there is soo much going on it and fantastic performances by Claire Danes and Damian Lewis. I really like it. I’m eager for Justified to start again. I love Breaking Bad as well.

i have a feeling something dramatic is going to have to happen in Dexter for it to continue. I just hope it doesn’t go as far out there as Lost did to the point to where i had to stop watching it was so redic. But i am excited to catch up and see whats happening.

just a curious question
would you rather have Nene or Josh Smith? A lot of people want Nene to play PF for the Nuggets, but in my opinion his price tag is getting too high. I would much rather see us get Josh Smith (i’m not sure who we would have to give up for that to happen) to man the 4 as he’s a considerably better defender. Yes his shot selection is questionable. What do you guys and dolls think?
