Now that the NBA season is going to start, thought it would be good to start the annual thread to discuss all the moves and rumours.

Just read that Philly wants to amnesty Nocioni to sign...wait for it...Kwame Brown!! This free agency period is going to be really fun.

Or does it have to be done immediately? This amnesty clause is the thing that I believe will cause Miami to win about the next 3 rings. Also, what is actually gonna happen with all the players that signed in China??

RT @billionairetone: Can teams use amnesty every year? (NO. ONLY ONCE. ON 1 PLAYER SIGNED BEFORE 7/1/11. IN ANY OFFSEASON OF NEW LABOR DEAL)

Hell no. The ONLY reason that Heat team won a title was because certain refs gift-wrapped it. I have to agree with the others Kingston - no comparison. Wade's only marginally worse now, and LeBron/Bosh totally outweigh (maybe not literally so!) a somewhat aging Shaq (not quite prime).

No doubt the heat need to win now because in the next few years the salary cap will tighten things right up.

What are the Rockets going to do?  if only he could shoot and be a big time 4th quarter player when it countshe isn't even his teams best player Rockets are fine, just keep developing their own, look for Patrick Patterson to have a big year.

Kevin Martin also is a more efficient scorer that your boyfriend LeBron. #9 in points per game #2 in points per 48 minutes #1 in free-throws made #8 in free-throw percentage

That's rich. After your little spat in the Auction thread. Some consistency'd be nice. This is a public thread, if you can't keep track of how you act on different accounts, hell - why should we be expected to? I just find it interesting that one of your last ever set of posts as Froginablender was vitriol-laced bile towards the Heat, yet here you are, kissing/making up with the Heat.
