They are definitely in the mix, the combination of the lower half of the East getting weaker and adding a 20-8 big man along with a solid starting PG will surely add at least 10 wins to their total. I'm not expecting very much of Amare, their future is bleak as long as Amare is their best player, this team reminds me a lot of the Raptors last year with Amare being the Chris Bosh of the situation. Just lot's of role player around a star who isn't really a franchise player.

I still hate everything about what the Bucks did this off-season, was pretty Colangelo-esque.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the dumbest one of all. Also please go back and re-read my post, I clearly said from HIS perspective, he won't have the ball in his hands as much as he typically wants (POINT FORWARD), which was his big problem in Toronto. And while he is a solid shooter, he isn't at his best as a spot up shooter, that is not his ideal role at all.

Considering he was responsible for all the contracts that were flipped I don't want to give him too much credit. It was pretty cool how he turned a 3 year and a 4 year deal into 2 year deals, but at the same time this wouldn't have happened if he didn't overpay to begin with... Brian has always been a pretty outstanding GM in terms of trading so deals like this shouldn't come as a surprise to us anymore, at least in my opinion. His weakness is, and probably will continue to be, is his incompetence financially, he has never signed a player here, or acquired one for that matter on a bargain deal, besides maybe Jarret Jack. Bargs (debatable), Jose, Hedo, Amir, all got overpaid. Is obtaining cap flexibility such as this that great of a thing with BC as our GM? With 20M in cap will we just wind up signing the next Hedo? Trade for another Rasho? Sign another Kapono? I love these moves as much as the next guy, but let's not call him a miracle worked quite yet, since the mess he is currently getting himself out of, is the same one he put himself in.

PG without PG skills who can shoot the ball. Funny all these role players think they are going to step up next year and help the Cavs, they will win 35 games at most.

If he said New York instead of South Beach I am sure your feelings would be dramatically different. Anyways, the NBA needs a hard cap asap.

Miller is perfect, though I wished (for the Heat behalf) they made a run at Redick.

Amazing deal, the age of the youngunz officially begins... I love that we don't have a single ball dominant player anymore, our ball movement is going to be awesome and with Sonny/Demar on the floor together, along with Jarret, we will be awesome in the open court. We are going to be really streaky because of our age but I expect us to be a real momentum team. I am expecting a huge year out of Jack next year, trading Hedo is going to shave a few wins off our season though, I expected him to be a lot better next year with CB gone... going to be an exciting team to watch, which is pretty cool considering we will be a lotto team as well... hopefully we can be bottom 5, this draft looks pretty good. I just really wonder where this leaves Sonny, we have a glut of small forwards and that is where I figured he and Demar would log major minutes... hopefully more deals are coming because I want Sonny to be a rotation player next year getting 25 minutes a night.

Apparently Jose Calderon might be involved as well as Tyson Chandler, according to poopsworld at least.

5/34.

I don't... you use your max money to bring in impact players and stars, you use future MLE's to get role players. Basically I think they should have just stood pat, sign some 1 year guys and tank again, use their cap next year.

Gambo620 Turkoglu agrees to waive $5.25 million of $6.5 million trade kicker. Turkoglu is under contract for next 4 years at roughly $42 million This is awesome. Now this means our starting 5 will be something like Bargnani-Davis-Weems-Demar-Jack... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Maybe, but Hedo isn't a great 3 point shooter and has always been at his best running off screens with the ball in his hands, not spotting up from 3... him at the 4 is going to be very interesting as well (if that does happen). Hedo is going to have to come into camp in shape this year for sure though, playing in a system like that.

Source confirms Suns' huge 1-2 punch Sun. night: acquiring Hedo Turkoglu from TOR 4 Barbosa and s/t with ATL for Josh Childress. Story soon. And Poe you clearly don't know what makes Hedo a potentially effective player, I'll give you a hint, it isn't his spot up shooting.

Hedo in Phoenix is even worse than Toronto from his perspective, especially with Bosh gone, hahaha, Nash holds the ball more and Hedo would hold it even less than he did here. http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7610/aahhhhhh.gif

How does Bosh not respect opponents?

If you can get paid 12 bucks to work at McDonalds or 10 bucks to work in a top restaurant, which do you do.... Gilbert is just pissed because his employee said he would work at McDonalds longer than he did because a new great opportunity came up.

NBA needs a hard cap.

Signing Blake pretty much sealed his fate.

Still don't think Fisher leaves, this is just a way to get the money from LA he wants.

This looks pretty cool, wish I was good at this game.

They need a new coach... there is talent there but as long as they keep playing the way they do it won't work. But yes, Monta and Curry are a solid backcourt and Lee is a good offensive threat in the front court, Biedrins is a good player on the defensive end, don't really see where Wright fits in really.... but there is certainly talent there, I just don't think Nelson is the one who will help them realize it.

Wade said it best, they are getting criticized for doing what the Celtics did, just instead in the prime of their career rather than the twilight.

Magic should only sign him to that much if they intend on giving him 50% more minutes than he got last year, he will play well over 30 minutes in Chicago, if they re-sign him they should utilize him.
