billups opts out of final year. Still a good chance he'll stay in detroit tho

[benreyhani15]

VC signs a new contract with the nets and is gonna get a new four-year, $61.8 million contract.

and also raps sign Kapono for 4 years worth 24 million, 6 mill per year for Kapono!! we couldve got many better guys instead of Kapono for the same price or even lower.

IS Gilbert Arenas still rumoured to be leaving?

[Aryaan21]

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

He once said Barca is his favorite team and Dinho his favorite player.

IS Gilbert Arenas still rumoured to be leaving?

no hes staying put in washington for another year until he becomes a FA and is expecting a big raise.

as for kapono, that was probably the worst decision making ive ever seen by bryan colangelo since he arrived in toronto, i dont know what he is thinking, he could of had a good athletic wing in mickel peitrus or someone similar to him with less money, but he gets a shooter, which the raps have many on the team as of now, i just dont see where this came from.

raps-27th in the league in rebounding, maybe get a player like anderson varajao who can rebound for cheaper $$?

It's because he is a restricted free agent, so all the Pistons would need to do is match someone's offer and Billups would remain in Det.
