NBA Free Agent List 2010: The Peachtree Hoops Scoreboard (v5)


Ummm...Don't know if you heard. LeBron heads to Miami.

Scoreboard, sucka.

LUCKY 7/11 UPDATES: 

Dorell Wright signs with the Warriors for 3 years, 11 million.

Wesley Matthews signs an offer sheet with the Blazers for 5 years, 34 million. (updated with italics)

7/10 UPDATES: 

The scores are in for the Sunshine Boys' contracts:

LeBron and Bosh get matching 6 year, 110 million dollar signing deals.

Wade takes a little less and comes in at 6 years, 107 million. 

Mark Stein takes us through their Early Termination Options and options on Year Six.

Also, a couple of restricted free agents get offers: JJ Redick from the Bulls (3 years, 19M) and Anthony Morrow from the Nets (3 years, 12M). Both teams have 7 days to match the offer sheets and both players are now italicized on our Scoreboard.

Should those teams match? The heart s and minds of the people that know these players best, the fans and readers of Orlando Pinstriped Post and Golden State of Mind, say yes on Redick and yes on Morrow.

Just remember, not all fan bases want their guy re-signed at any cost. Joe Johnson, the biggest winner this offseason total contract wise, had his contract soundly vetoed by readers of this site.

Johan Petro agreed to a 3 year, 10 million dollar deal with the Nets.

7/9 UPDATES:

Tyrus Thomas sticks it out in Charlotte, with a 5 year, 40 million dollar deal.

Negative WS/48 "player" Brian Cook got a guaranteed two years from the Clippers, for a total of 2.5 million.

Kyle Korver re-joins Utah teammate Carlos Boozer in Chicago, with a reported 3 year, 15 million dollar deal.

 

UPDATE: The Knicks responded by signing and trading David Lee to Golden State for three players. Lee will make 80 million over 6 years.

UPDATE:  The Clippers are using their cap space to sign Ryan Gomes to a 3 year, 12 million dollar deal. They are also to sign Randy Foye.

Atlanta will win a championship....someday

by maxxj3 on Jul 8, 2010 9:42 PM EDT reply actions  

This is actually good news for the Hawks, right?

Even though the Southeast is now the toughest division in the NBA, Lebron going to the Heat means that the Hawks actually move up a rung in the pecking order.

Had he stayed with Cleveland or gone to New York, either of those teams would have then been better than Atlanta. Now, they both remain irrellevant.

The East now looks like:
1. Orlando
2. Miami
3. Boston
4. Chicago
5. Atlanta

by Fred Pen on Jul 8, 2010 9:43 PM EDT reply actions  

I’m not convinced that adding Boozer makes Chicago better than Atlanta. It’s also not a certainty that Boston will be better than Atlanta in the regular season and thereby finish at a higher seed. Milwaukee will have something to say about who is the 4th and 5th seeds too. I expect Pat Reilly to figure out a way to round out the Heat roster well enough that Miami rather easily finishes in the top spot. I’d rank them as

1. Miami
2. Orlando
3-6. Atlanta, Boston, Milwaukee, Chicago (exact order TBD)

by redwards95 on Jul 9, 2010 10:44 AM EDT up reply actions  

The biggest question, to me, about the Boston/ATL/Chicago thing

is who improves the most-Josh Smith, Rajon Rondo or Derrick Rose?

If Rondo keeps up his playoff pace for the entire regular season, then Boston would have to be considered than the Hawks.

Can Josh Smith keep his head out of his ass for an entire season and learn to be a grown man? If so, then the Hawks may be the favorite for the 3rd seed.

Does Derrick Rose take the next step into elite-superstardom? If so, Chicago will be phenomenal.

I had forgotten about Milwaukee. Guess we will have to see how Bogut comes back from the injury, and see if Salmons can have another career year after getting a nice contract.

It's no certainty Miami will be in the top three

No bench and a whole mess of chemistry to deal with

Besides Orlando the East is up in the air

by axhfan on Jul 9, 2010 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think chemistry is the concern as much as supporting cast...

assuming they find a way to keep Haslem, he’s an ideal dirty work/hustle big man either behind or alongside Bosh. Mike Miller sounds like a pretty good fit in the backcourt. And there’s other veterans who may or may not want to come along for the ride such as Shaq, Derek Fisher, Jason Williams, Luke Ridnour, Ben Wallace, Kyle Korver, Shaun Livingston, Brad Miller, Tim Thomas, Richard Jefferson, Michael Redd, Joe Smith, Flip Murray, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Q Richardson, and Tracy McGrady, among others. So just what type of bench they can put together remains to be seen. I’m not sold on them yet, but I can certainly see the potential, and the mass of available free agent vets that just might fill roles well.

by Mr. Sanchez on Jul 9, 2010 4:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Tracy McGrady should if he's smart

oh, and on Joe Johnson. Now it almost makes sense to have sign and trade him for a young piece, even if it meant a step back into the lottery. In hopes of capitalizing in 3 years as Al and Josh hit their prime and the big 3 in Miami are starting to fall off.

by Mr. Sanchez on Jul 8, 2010 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Tracy McGrady isn't smart.

That would be way too much star power for TMac…it would threaten his personal record of playoff series losses, too.

by rbubp on Jul 9, 2010 10:32 AM EDT up reply actions  

He's not getting a starting job...

so why not back up the stars, and be a spot shooter since he can hit from outside. And the playoff history was why I said it. Either he can be a champion, or maybe, hopefully, hisjinx rubs off and destroys the Miami superpower.

by Mr. Sanchez on Jul 9, 2010 11:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don't know if he'd be welcomed

He may just be washed up at this point.

Can I interest you in Allen Iverson? (I know it won’t happen but It’d be so cool if AI joined up with the Heat – Him and Shaq)

by axhfan on Jul 9, 2010 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Backing up Wade and James...

even if it sdeeper down the bench behind Mike Miller, and I can’t see why they wouldn’t welcome him? He’s got skills even if his health can’t let him show them night after night, so a bench spot could be ideal. In spite of his playoff failures, I’ve never heard him in the bad teammate/bad locker room discussion. Iverson has been in that discussion before, so I’d think he’d be less likely to get a welcome mat rolled out for him than TMac.

Mario Chalmers Earl Watson Jason Williams
Dwayne Wade Mike Miller
Lebron James Tracy McGrady DaSean Butler
Udonis Haslem Michael Beasley Jarvis Varnado

Called out everyone other than Wade and Riley. The team from that time is gone, but he also criticized the training staff and others within the organization.

It's been pointed out

With all the cap space generated by so many teams in the hope of adding LeBron, a lot of marginal players are going to get signed for way more than they are worth. Richard Jefferson was smart to opt out.

As a result, I think the MLE will be worth a lot less this year than it has been in previous years, since the teams with cap space will happily overpay for the type of players who would normally be forced to accept the MLE. In fact, a lot of years, some really good players are forced to accept the MLE since there just aren’t enough teams under the cap. It won’t be the case this year.

Unfortunately, this is the year that the Hawks are actually willing to use the Mid-Level.

by Bronn on Jul 8, 2010 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

So, with Linas Kleiza already back...

can we get something for Josh Childress now? Please oh please let it be Jevale McGee, Taj Gibson or Deandre Jordan. Maybe it allows us to move Mike Bibby or Marvin Williams in a 3 team move with some many teams having to do SOMEthing.

by Mr. Sanchez on Jul 8, 2010 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

We can probably get back something for Childress

But I wouldn’t expect it to be Taj Gibson, or anyone with the Bulls. Assuming they hang on to Luol Deng, and right now I don’t see as they have much choice, they have a lot of guys who are best off of the dribble, and they really need someone who can catch and shoot. You can’t have team of all drivers, you have to have shooters to spread the floor.

Childress would be a great fit for a team like Phoenix or the Knicks, anyone who wants to go up tempo and utilize Chill’s strengths optimally. He’d be great for the Hawks if we’re serious about going uptempo, but every day that passes without any movement on the Childress front makes it more unlikely that we’ll see him return to Atlanta.

by Bronn on Jul 8, 2010 10:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think the Clippers fit him perfectly...

for one, he’s a local. Two, I think he’d be a good fit with Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, and Baron Davis.

I always felt that had more to do with the head coach than anything else, and now the coach is gone. But I still don’t think it’s particularly likely.

THe balance of power is shifting considerably...

if Carmelo goes to the Knicks next year there will be four really good teams in the East, possibly all better than anyone other than the Thunder in the West. Right now it’s very possible that Boston, Orlando, Miami, and Chicago are all better than anyone in the west other than LAL and maybe OKC.

Utah? Done. SAS? Too old. Dallas? I’m not a believer—also too old. LAC, a year or three away. Denver might be in there, but they’re so flighty, and Karl’s absence really hurt them last year.

Well who can the Hawks beat now

we can turn our Miami wins into losses, our Cav losses into wins. The Bulls are better, the Bucks are better, The Bobcats were tough for us already.

Since Wade said that he’d accept a below-max deal to make room for LeBron, and because LeBron’s presumably max deal will be a non-Bird max, JJ will probably be the highest paid free agent this off season. How about them apples?

If I've figured this correctly

JJ would in fact have the second biggest contract in the NBA, behind Kobe. It’s making my head hurt even more.

Good for him, he got his, but wow. Putting together a team that’s going to contend any time in the near future is going to be extremely difficult. Hawks need to start stockpiling draft picks as soon as they can.

by Bronn on Jul 8, 2010 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

man

if anything tonight just shows that sund and the hawks organization is gonna have to step their game up even more. trades are gonna be crucial if we are going to be able to play with them over a 7 game series. if anything we are going to have to build this team for the postseason. the regular season is a lost cause at this point.

by Bryant Singleton on Jul 8, 2010 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, it remains to be seen

There’s not really any precedent for this kind of grouping of elite talents. You’d think they’d be able to win most nights with those three guys showing up, but it might not work out as well as you’d expect if the rest of the roster is filled with below average talent. It’s tough to say.

The only thing to which I can compare this is the Boston team three summers ago. There are two key differences-this group is younger, and this group is even better, so this comparison might be completely moot. That team, despite having its own big three, still wouldn’t have been as good as it was if it had lesser players in the place of Rondo and Perkins. They also got some key contributions from Leon Powe and James Posey.

I don’t think you can say that Miami is definitely the top team in the East right now. The kind of players they put around those three guys will be important.

by Bronn on Jul 8, 2010 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not saying there on top

but i am saying that we are going to have to see this team at some point in the postseason. along with orlando, we are going to have to play the matchups more than the grind of the previous 6 months. we screwed up last year going for the higher seed and it cost us when we ran into orlando completely unprepared. we gotta get ready to see these teams right now while we have time.

And some say he left PHX because he wanted to be the man, and for money….but what i remember is he left because PHX acted like they didn’t want him and dragged their feet to get a deal done after he had given them great years…now we just gotta start making some deals…Can’t trade Josh S now we really need him now

This might sound crazy....

But what if JJ signing, and the Hawks willingness to go into luxury tax territory means that we are about to make a trade for a superstar. Possibly Chris Paul.

The Hornets have Collison and need to save money. We’d have to give up Josh Smith, but a top 3 of Paul, Johnson, and Horford could be a legitimate threat to both the Magic and the Heat. Who on the Magic or Heat could guard him? No one. JJ/Paul/Lebrand/Wade/Howard are all best friends from the Olympics. They can all be in the same division.

We trade:

Josh Smith
Marvin Williams
1st Round Pick

We Recieve
Chris Paul
Emeka Okafor?

That could be part of Lebron’s evil masterplan. Maybe that’s why Shaq’s considering Atlanta? Whatever happens, it’s gonna be some shady under-the-table business, that much is certain.

That’s a much more realistic offer. Then we’d get Shaq for the MLE.

But they played the first half of the season without “Big Shot Jack”, so I figure having Jackson the full season will boost wins. Plus I felt it woulda been weak to leave two spots open.

But you're right about the Bulls

They could either continue their sixth straight season of being the “up and coming team” or they could become a legit threat. We shall see.

Pacers are going to be better this year too 8th or 7th

Toronto is done, NJ won’t make it, Wizarsd are too young/ new, Knicks get in this year
you don’t want to be in that 6-9 pile up ATL should just miss that mess
Bucks, Bobcats, Pacers, Knicks, 76ers, Pistons

Boozer's deal was for "only" $75M...

…Also known as 60% of Joe’s total contract.

People keep bashing Joe's contract

Fact is, he could have gotten that same deal at five or six other teams. It’s not like we were giving him money that he couldn’t possibly get anywhere else.

(And yes, I’m talking about in a sign and trade)

by axhfan on Jul 10, 2010 6:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Actually

we are giving him an extra 25-30 mil for the sixth, so yeah people will continue to bash Joe. The organization was afraid to take a step back to take a few steps forward, and so far, we are not looking good recruiting free agents to Atlanta. We overpaid Joe, now it’s time to see if he will earn his money.

by Anonymous HawksGuy on Jul 11, 2010 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

No

We didn’t give him anything extra because, like I said earlier, he could have gotten that money in a S&T

I could see...

Bibby/Chills/ ’11 first rounder for CP3…. Greedy trade is greedy. lol

Football is played with an oblong ball. Take your roundball and GTFO...

Wont happen

Hornets will want some real value for Paul. Or expiring contracts.

Thoughts on Tim Thomas as a backup F...

good player for 15-20 per, can hit 3s, not a bad backup 3/4. He’d be a decent fit.

Wait.

How did James and Bosh get 6 year deals without a sign and trade being involved?

It frustrating to see....

Our Hawks not doing anything to make this team better besides overpay JJ. At some point in time, the teams that are being aggressive and adding on missing pieces will surpass us. Why not keep J Chill here and get rid of Marvin and Bibby? J Chill is obviously the better player and teams will be willing to take Marvin and Bibby in a package. Personally, I say we need to do what it take to get McGee, that is a piece that is definitely needed on the Hawks.

agree....each day its everybody but ATL making moves

I know that have to be patient and make the right deal but…give me a sign or something that we are at least talking about something…..on another note just looking at the list somebody is going to get a steal if they take a chance on Redd..if he’s healthy
ridnour, Hughes, Tim Thomas, Scola, Josh Howard, Will bynum, Rafer, and Quinn…..I could puttogether an all-star bench with some of these players…there is some talent out there we need to grab some of it

What teams

Will be willing to take a Marv/Bibby deal?

by axhfan on Jul 12, 2010 4:27 PM EDT reply actions  

heard a rumor that T-Mac could be going to Lakers

if they don’t get Shannon Brown back …..wonder if T-Mac could play the 3 for ATL
Bibby, JJ, T-Mac, Smooth, Horford

Al Jefferson moved for a TE and protected 1sts.

Dang. I can’t think of anyone around these parts who was saying that a TE had real value for a creative franchise.

/rolls eyes

by mrHonline on Jul 13, 2010 2:22 PM EDT reply actions  

We aren't creative

or at least haven
t been in the past.

Josh Boone is a UFA Nets Last Year He had a 13 Point game and Rebounded 20 rebounds that Game

Played for a little over $2 Million Last year But his Avg wasn’t nearly as well.Make a Great backup For the Hawks. F-C
