The 2006 NBA Offseason Thread
let the dealings and reelings begin.
'melo gets a contract extension . well deserved.
and the raptors and bucks make a surprising trade. tj ford goes to toronto, while charlie villanueva goes to milwaukee. in my opinion, this helps both teams, as mike james can now play the shooting guard spot, while morris peterson can play his natural small forward position. as for milwaukee, this could be very interesting, as it looks like milwaukee is confident mo williams can perform well as a starter. he was an awesome 6th man for them the past couple of years.
1) wtf are the hornets trying to become the kings of the south (peja + bobby jackson + byron scott?). They may as well trade for c=webb and get vlade outta retirement lol. but that team w/ CP3 is gonna be a force, which means bad news for utah and golden state.
2) the kings made out like bandits in the peja/artest trade.
3) apparently nene is getting a large extension along w/ melo. if both underperform denver is gonna have some serious salary cap woes.
watch out for NO next year i guess 
edit: can i nominate myself to be the kings rep on TA? 
BIG BEN TO CHICAGO ZOMG!
i am shocked myself that big ben is going to chicago. a surprise.
to replace big ben, detroit quickly signs nazr mohammad. smart move. he's not the dominant figure as big ben, but he can post those double doubles on a consistent basis.
and peja to the hornets? that is a surprise to me, knowing that the hornets payroll isn't really that great. signing him and re-signing byron scott means there is a very bright future for the hornets. peja, west, and paul make a good combination.
The Mavs do a dumb trade and move Daniels for Austin Croshere
lets see...a potential starter for a white guy worse than Van Horn...
Clippers are a joke for chasing after Tim Thomas insted of signing Radmanovic.
***Blazers sign Prazbilla for 30 mil'X6 years which i think is a good move cuz anyone needs a Center like Joel - he will be an asset for our team...
The Hornets made some pretty idiotic moves IMO, Peja Stojakavic?? Tyson Chndler?? Bobby Jackson instead of Claxton? what good will that do?.
They will be injured most of the time and even when they are healthy you cant trust Peja to deliever under pressure nor trust Chandler to be a solid Center throughout the entire season...
They should have waited,but im glad they didnt
apparentyl the kings offered bonzi wells 5 years/36 mill.
although id rather see bonzi in a sign and trade i kind of like this number, except the 5 years part (3, maybe 4 woulda been a better number IMO.) id like bonzi on my team but it wont be disasterous if he doesnt sign on...just imagine cavs fans right now w/ the lebron extension
anyhow, anyone have any feelings on bonzi wells?

| Originally posted by svens_bath there were suggestions for a while that he was going to go there from commentators over here. should be interesting to see the Bulls next year if they keep the rest of their squad. played quite well against Miami i thought. |
by the way any talks about moves from people like Iverson? there was some talk about him maybe moving on..ie. hes taken the franchise as far as he can
also Garnett? similar situation..someone wanting a ring.

i dunno what but something about ty thomas makes me think he has "bust" written all over him

anyone have any summer league notes?
1) andrea bargnani got 10 fouls in like 28 min against the kings lol... otherwise i heard hes been looking good.
2) renaldo balkman sounds like a rebounding machine?
2) kevin martin of the kings has been absolutely dominant in the summer leagues. might this translate to a possible sign and trade involving bonzi wells?
Brandon Roy is playing stellar in the summer league. I have really good feelings about this guy. I'm thinking Grant Hill type of game, off guard who can handle the ball and do everything well. I'm excited.
Randy Foye is looking really good too as a scoring point guard. Not really my type of PG (Starbury, Telfair, etc) but Minn needs scoring to help KG.
Bargnani is looking like he's gonna score but I've been reading he's still really shy to do any rebounding, blocking shots, banging inside. He's like a really tall small forward.
Kevin Martin is a good source for a sleeper next year in fantasy basketball. 
trade rumor FWIW:
grant napear on kings radio reports taht theres gonna be a massive 6 team trade tomrorow possibly involving AI going to boston
forget the rumor but will AI and p-cubed get along?

| Originally posted by PhaseFour awesome...hes the future of the knicks lmao |
from ESPN reports at the summer camps, i heard
-Bargnani looks pretty solid
-Adam Morrison struggled here and there with his shot selections,
-Marcus Williams has been playing superb ball.
-Boston's young crew of Telfair, West, Perkins, and et al. has been tearing things up.
my sleeper picks for next year to watch out for are (and will crack the top 50 nba list):
Josh Smith
Kevin Martin
Andre Igoudala(if AI leaves the sixers, i expect him to start putting up Scottie Pippen type of numbers)
Jameer Nelson
