Title: The Basketball Off Season Thread
Post by: Spency234 on June 29, 2004, 05:59:00 PM
OK

So far we have Antawn Jameson to the Wizards for Jerry Stackhouse, Christian Laettner and the draft rights to Devin Harris

And the big kahones, T-Mac is going to Houston for Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato.  Going to the Rockets is Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue and Reece Gaines as well.

Also a couple of questions.  Where will Kobe/Shaq end up?  Any other crazy rumors floating around? I heard a straight up trade AI for Vincalamar Carter, but won't happen because AI would hate it up here in Canada.  Will the Raptors make the playoffs?  :lol:

Up too now it has been a very interesting off season, and I have a feeling it is just going to get more so.

I think the Rockets are going to definately be a team to watch this year.  T-Mac and Yao, also Jowan Howard will help.

As for the Magic, I don't know if they really got all that much better.  Francis can be a force sometimes but commits waaaay too many turnovers.  Of course they did get the #1 draft pick overall, so I could be talking out of my ass.

I heard another trade rumor.  Shaq for Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson.  RIDICULOUS.

houston will probably be a contender, depending on the dallas/shaq deal, in the midwest divison. san antonio will stick with manu, they'll talk with kobe but he wont come here, he'll probably go to LAC. magic will do pretty good with stevie franchise and that high schooler they got (i forgot his name.) and new orleans is screwed!

what would've been nice if steve francis stayed with the rockets so there can be a combination of all three of them (yao, t-mac, and steve) but hey t-mac isn't for free!!

If by Starburry you mean Stephon Marbury, he plays for the Knicks now.  Did for about half of last season too.

Coach K is staying in Duke.

Sooooo, that probably means Kobe will leave Shaq will stay.  Just my guess.

Post by: darth stuart on July 05, 2004, 03:18:00 PM

Post by: darth stuart on July 06, 2004, 06:55:00 PM
i don't care what those stories are from manu isn't going anywhere. he's staying put in SA. They will match any offer made by nuggets. the spurs are also going to resign bowen, or as i like to say "bruce bruce". and the suns are gonna make a move for hedo.

yea, i read that he's interested in the 2 LA teams and Mephis. the only one that he isnt making demands at is mephis...it'll be funny if he went there. and heard on leno: it was really hot in la today, like 100 degrees? we already lost someone to the heat...shaq! but the Spurs are trying to court malone into coming to SA

lol with the most dominating player in basketball on a team that plays together really well...the heat are goin to the finals for sure
Title: The Basketball Off Season Thread
Post by: darth stuart on July 20, 2004, 11:11:00 PM
well, even if the new heat is the team that plays well, they still have to deal with detroit and idianna in east not to mention orlando who got a lilttle bit better this offseason. so i dont think they'll make it to the finals. the spurs will probably do well, but im not going to make a bold prediction like that with all these signings in the west. phoenix, houston, denver and others are all lookin better.
