    The official 2007 NBA offseason thread

    So, the season is over, spurs win...again...

    here is where we can talk about trades, coaches fired, arrests, the draft, etc

    so this week my team (the nuggets) had a busy time....First jr smith was in a fatal car accident and had to go to the hospital...he is still in the hospital but seems to be ok thank god, but a passenger in his car passed away...khoda biamorz

    talented benchwarmer dermarr johnson (who would be part of the rotation of more than half of the teams in the NBA) was arrested for resisting arrest, or public disturbance, or something like that....so far not so good

    it seems like the kobe bryant trade talks have died down, but you can bet that the lakers will be VERY active this offseason. Denver is trying to move defensive player of the year marcus camby and the pacers are considering moving jermaine o'neal. A trade that is being discussed is this:

    Jermaine O'Neal and Marcus Camby to the Lakers

    Ike Diogu, Jeff Foster to the Nuggets

    Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and Kwame Brown to the Pacers.

    obviously we would be getting the worst out of the deal, but its more of a salary cap thing with us. The lakers, although they are giving away pretty much everyone, they are getting in return 2 FANTASTIC players. For indiana, these are quality players; maybe they need to get away from kobe in order to succeed.

    Now, we dont have any draft picks in this draft, but keep in mind that we are getting all star KENYON MARTIN back, and it seems like nene is finding his form. It might take a while for k mart to get back from surgery, so we might use him as trade bait.

    the main person we are trying to get this off season, although unlikely, and unfortunate that it is unlikely because it is a PERRRFECT fit:

    *DRUMS PLEASE*




    CHAUNCEY BI-BI-BI-BILLUPSSSS


    you heard it here first

    and if it happens, expect big things from denver next year

    but it will be difficult if it doesnt, especially in the division, which was a cake-walk this year, with the exception of the western conference finalists utah, but both of the big guns this draft, oden and durant, will be in the northeast next year

    and seattle, if healthy, is REALLY good; rashard lewis (btw the nuggets are looking at him too, i love him, amazing offensive player, but thats a little to much offense for us imo), ray allen, AND kevin durant...

    Chuncy isen't going anywhere because he is a restricted FA. If some team gives Chuncy an offer, Detroit can match that offer and he stays with Det.

    Furthermore giving up Bynum, Lamar, and Kwamie for O Neal and Camby is a bad trade FOR THE LAKERS. There is just way too much upside with Bynum he can end up being the next big thing at the Center position. Camby is not that great either. Jermaine O neal is a good player but he just isen't worth giving up LO, Kwamie, and Bynum. Who are we gonig to have left Chris Mihm and Ronie Turiaf?

          if that doesnt happen for la, 2 other possibilities are garnett (slim) and ARTEST (somewhat likely)

          actually im looking now, and the lakers are lookin at chauncey too

          but the reason why the rumor of chauncey going to denver is getting hot is cause he is a denver native

            Bro knowing our luck Mitch Cupcake and Dr. dingbat are going to sit on their a$$ once again, and nothing is going to get done. Next year Kobe will be a FA, he will get frustrated that nothing will get done and he will be gone.

            LOCK IT I GUARANTEE IT.

            Ever since Mr. West left LA it's like a bad curse has been placed on this organization.
            However, it would be sick to either get one of those three players you mentioned above. Of course the big ticket is KG but would he be willing to share the ball with Kobe? At Minnesota KG is the main attraction now he would share the ball with Kobe.

              if chauncey goes to denver i think the pistons are over unless rip steps it up big time, then the nuggs will be really strong with k mart coming back and mello ai and billips anf camby, but k mart can be traded so yeah....

                If Chuncy goes so will the Pistons because basically they would be now without Ben Wallace and Chuncy Billups. It would be up tp Rip, Sheed, and CWeb, and Teyshan. Det is my 2nd favorite team man so I follow them.

                  its quite likely that camby wont be there, but nene was AMAZING down the stretch, k mart is a mystery. To be able to afford chauncey we are going to have to get rid of camby for a really average player to make it work.
                  ---billups---iverson
                  melo---nene---k mart
                  niiiiiice
                  even if we dont get billups and dont make any changes
                  ---iverson--melo---
                  k mart-camby--nene
                  still star studded...4 all stars and 1 all star caliber

                    nyc khak to saret u beat me in making this thread

                    raps lead asst. jim todd is off to milwaukee.

                    there was a rumor trade of jose calderon and JG (joey graham) to ATL for josh childress, solomon jones (soph) and the 11th pick in this years draft but BC declined the offer cause he feels that depth is important and wants to keep jose around (khodaro shokr)

                    Raps Interests:
                    Mikel Pietrus (rumor about a sign and trade with mopete)
                    Josh Childress/ATL wing players
                    Gerald Wallace (probly too pricey)
                    Rashard Lewis (only ideal situation is sign and trade)
                    Shawn Marion (rumored to TO but very unlikely, especially with the suns demanding bargy)
                    Luke Walton (only probleem is it will be hard to bring him up north)
                    Some Notes:
                    - as you can see from the list, those players are all athletic wing players that the raps are looking for. dont expect mopette to be coming back if u ask me.
                    - Joey graham is in the final year of his contract and needs to show some consistancy if he wants to stick around.
                    - Jose calderon>>>TJ ford if u ask me, but that wont be causing him to start unfortunately.
                    - longtime player Darrick martin is a freeagent, and the raps could sign him for his coaching, or they could let him retire and hire him as an asst. either way i think he will stay.
                    - Rasho could be a trade asset.

                    Expect the raptors opening day starting lineup to be like this:
                    PG- TJ Ford (young and will improve)
                    SG- Anthony Parker (amazing season comin over from europe)
                    SF- Jorge Garbajosa (hopefully 100% healed after the horrific injury)
                    PF- Chris Bosh (expect bigger things from him)
                    C- Andrea Bargnani (something amazing will come out of this guy next year)
                    6th man- Jose Calderon (amazing season)

                    expect bryan colangelo to add amazing players this offseason that will impact the rest of the rotation, which i believe is up in the air.

                    NYC THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH THAT CHAUNCEY WILL GO TO DENVER.

                      I heard KOBE is on vacation in BARCELONA right now

                      and he's training and practing with BARCELONA FC (football team, not the basketball team)
                      he used to play soccer when he was younger

                        lol, just what we needed...

                        http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/6926338?MSNHPHMA

                        i forgot about the iverson assault case

                        ekbatan, yeah i read that too, but he wasnt training he was just watching (and he went and hugged ronaldinho lol)
                        but for some reason i kind of got a LITTLE more respect for him now...i mean his favorite player growing up was rijkaard, so he must have followed the game. Its like how i used to despise shaq, but then i read that he recognized jaber rouzbahani, and then i liked him a little more

                          raps got another good asset in Carlos Delfino from D-town for 2 2nd round picks. another amazing deal by bryan colangelo. you can already see he is getting ready for another big offseason. another international player added to the roster. this will surely help delfino in his career. expect him to get the min. he was nagging about in detroit, and make the most of it and play well.

                          the list of internationals:
                          Jorge Garbajosa
                          Uros Slokar
                          Pape Sow
                          Andrea Bargnani
                          Rasho Nesterovic
                          Jose Calderon
                          Anthony Parker (former euroleague star)
                          Carlos Delfino

                            Yeah, he is a big FC Barcelona fan, and his big idol is Ronaldinho. When Ronnie saw Kobe, he ran over and talked to him!
