2013 Free Agency Priority

[sailfish]

Was this to make room for Bynum or do we have something else brewing?

Quinn's 30 years old and he was outplayed by Higgins & Dellavedova in Vegas. Reportedly he's looking to sign & play overseas.

Jones got caught up in a numbers game at the PF spot. This gives him a chance to catch on elsewhere.

With these moves the roster is now at 12, excluding Karasev. Reportedly they're still looking for a 3rd point guard and another shooter.

Well you should probably include Karasev considering he will be a part of our team this year, just saying...

Reportedly Karasev is going to come over this year, although I've heard some rumblings to the contrary. Guess we'll see.
If he comes over, we'll have 2 open spots, which will likely go to non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed type players.

Wait, what? Where?

WFNY just tweeted Karasev will be in Cleveland as early as tonight and should be introduced soon...

Good to hear. His dad coaches him over there and there had been some rumblings that he might push for Sergey to stay, if they felt he wasn't likely to get any playing time in Cleveland.

No reason why Karasev can't get backup minutes. Not signing Miller means there should be room for him, as of right now.

Bernard James was just waived to clear space for monta Ellis. He is a 28 year old second year player we had interest in drafting who is a legit 6 "10, I would love to claim him on waivers now as the Heat are said to be very interested! He was actually part of the seller trade. He is cheap and would be a clever waiver claim!

Mavs tried hard to avoid it but were forced Friday to officially waive center Bernard James to have sufficient cap space to sign Monta Ellis

As ajz20 said, I wouldn't mind taking a look.

All signals suggest that Gary Neal, after strong play in NBA Finals, sure to be snapped up quickly once he becomes unrestricted free agent



Any chance we take a look at Neal? I know we were looking at some guys that can shoot.

Dunno, he just looks like a poor man's Jarrett Jack to me. We're plenty deep in the backcourt already, so even in case of injuries I can't see him playing a significant role for us next season.

I wouldn't mind the Cavs making a run at Neal. Would seem to fit what they say they'd still like to add. He's pretty versatile and is a solid 3 point shooter.
My only concern would be that the Spurs were so willing to look elsewhere and move on.

 

[Hydroponic3385]

Yeah the Cavs are looking for additional shooting, but I'd have to guess we'd much prefer someone taller. A legitimate SF/SG wing rather than a combo guard.

 

[Snarly]

I don't get this we just signed jack. Neal makes no sense at this point also how much would he cost and could we even afford him. I would much rather give the minutes to the young Kaserev than him. Again unless they cut Miles Neal does not make sense.

 

[Kyrieville]

Cut Miles, sign Neal. Makes way too much sense.
