IT's official on Twitter - Shane's announced he's signing with Miami.

Eddy Curry is expected to follow suit.

 

Why do I even watch the NBA anymore?

Might as well hand them the title now.

 

Ha ha ha ha.... Curry hasn't played ball in years. His conditioning has always been awful from offseason to offseason. Which is why he gets hurt all the time.

 

Please sign him Miami, so I can laugh at you some more. You have 3 All Stars and 1 Ball. You add a center that needs the ball just to be effective, because he checks out of games when he doesn't feel appreciated (Ex: NY and CHI). It's like having 2 LBJ's now.....

 

Ha ha ha ha

can one team S&T a player within a package with another player to another team?

 

ex. Houston S&T Battier & Lee for Orlando piece? (Bass? IDK)

 

 

You can only S&T your own free agents.

Yup. They've got their 2, 3, and 4. At 1 and 5 all they need is defense and three point shooting. lebron or wade also need to work on their catch and shoot skills or else its going to be 4 on 5 every trip on offense.

[Jay Magic 1,251]

for starters we need to sign & trade j rich for monta ellis! ellis is a all star in the making without a doubt.

[Secretly Space Jesus 670]

I'd say at this stage in his career he's similar to what Barnes was right? Not that much better, and I doubt he'll have a better season than the last. Upgrade over Turkoglu for sure though.

 

 

Battier is 3x the defender Barnes was, especially as a help defender.

[Bauncey Chillups 288]

Shane Battier isn't very good anyway. He's old and wont be able to hack it through the expedited season. We dodged a bullet.

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

I agree, but I worry about battiers ability to play this whole season at a high level due to age
