[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4317515"]NBA free agents: Sources: Deal to send Carlos Boozer to the Chicago Bulls in works - ESPN[/ame]
It's Official: Cavs ink Tony, errr Anthony Parker
Center: Check (Shaq)
Resign Varajao: Check
Athletic Swingman/ Backup Guard: Check (Parker)
The team still has around $3 million to spend from their mid-level exception.
Pretty decent offseason, Danny!

Looks like Orlando has matched the Mavericks offer to Gortat. That's a pretty expensive price to pay for a back-up to Howard. I've been waiting for Houston to come in and give him a pot of gold with Yao gone but it looks like he's going to be a back-up for the rest of his career barring anykind of trade.

I don't know if I would give up on Beasley THIS easy....
This is getting ALOT of talk down here. It was said that Sloan craves Beasley, BUT loves Adonis Haslem. I would EASILY throw in there Haslem/Blount or a Haslem/O'Neal for Boozer.....but Beasley?!! I am sure D. Wade know ALOT more than anyone else is Beasley is ready or not.

NBA Trade Rumor: Carlos Boozer to Miami
By Andrew Katz
Game 7 for D-Wade...
Up until July, Orlando’s Otis Smith and Toronto’s Bryan Colangelo were the two most proactive GM’s in the League. But now, Dwyane Wade is coming for that crown. After lobbying for Allen Iverson, Wade is now reportedly working on getting Carlos Boozer to the Heat.
If AI ends up in Memphis and Boozer heads to Chicago, Wade has Rob Kurz, and a couple of guys who hoop at West 4th in his sights as Plan C, D, E and F.
Trade talk between the Heat and Jazz over power forward Carlos Boozer is increasing, according to the Deseret News.
Dwyane Wade is to a degree lobbying for Miami to make a trade for his Olympic teammate.
This rumor popped up about an hour after we read a Miami Herald article in which Wade is quoted calling Beasley “slow-footed.”
Wade said it would be ”tough” for Beasley to play a lot at [small forward]: “You’ve got guys at the [small forward] position who are super-quick and fast. Beasley is slow-footed.”
B-Easy has put in work on that weakness this summer, playing against the quicker Dorell Wright and Daequan Cook. But if Pat Riley believes that Wade isn’t 100% behind Beasley’s maturation process, maybe he’d be smart to offer him up for Boozer. Ultimately, every one of Miami’s moves is geared towards keeping their star happy, and on South Beach.
We tried out a couple of trades in ESPN’s Trade Machine. Here’s what worked:
* Michael Beasley and Udonis Haslem for Carlos Boozer
* Michael Beasley and Jermaine O’Neal for Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko
Utah’s motivation to make either one of these moves would be about money just as much as it is about basketball. They’re about $15 million over the cap right now, and haven’t even dealt with the Paul Millsap situation. If they’re going to match the $33 million sheet Portland offered Millsap, they need to send Boozer out of town this week.
Both Haslem and O’Neal have expiring contracts. If the Jazz worked out that second option, in which they trade AK-47 and Boozer for Beasley and J.O., they’d have about $13 million in cap space heading into the 2010 summer to add onto a roster including Deron Williams, Michael Beasley, Paul Millsap, CJ Miles, Eric Maynor, and Ronnie Brewer. That’s enough to go after an elite shooting guard.
Miami could compete in the East right now with a lineup of Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer and Mark Blount.
GM of the year…. Dwyane Wade?!

i fully expect gortat and that $8 million trade exemption obtained in the turk trade to be traded for a super star (chris bish, maybe). the magic can trade gortat starting december 15 and i fully expect something to happen.

Orlando Lands True Power Forward- Lance.... errr Brandon Bass
Orlando Magic land Brandon Bass, a power forward willing to do the dirty work in the paint - OrlandoSentinel.com
To sum up the Magic's offseason: They've lost Hedu Turkaglu, Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston. They've gained: Vince Carter and Brandon Bass.
Here's how I see the Magic's starting O:
PG- Jameer Nelson
SG- Vince Carter
SF- Rashard Lewis
PF- Brandon Bass
C- Dwight Howard
Bench:
Pietrus, Gortot, Reddick
With the losses of Turk and Lee, I think the Cavs matchup better with them this year. Especially with the addions of Shaq and Parker.
Either way, the East is going to be top heavy again this year. In no particular order, Boston, Cleveland and Orlando will be 1a, 1b and 1c going into the season.

If the heat miraculously pull off a deal and get Boozer and Kirilenko, you got to add them to that list....
Suns Buy-Out Ben Wallace & Expected to Dump Sasha Pavlovic
Suns complete buyout of Wallace
Looks like the Shaq to Cleveland trade was nothing more than a money saving move by Phoenix.

LMAO!! And YOU are a basketball man...??!!
That is Carlos Arroyo...former Piston, former Magic and starting point guard for the Puerto Rico National Team.
I do NOT want that trade IF it includes Beasley....
Realy?!?!? I would take that trade in a heartbeat!
...from the same article...
It doesn't sound like Odom wants to go anywhere else. He's just letting his agent do all the dealing and hopefully his agent doesn't screw up like Ariza's agent and try to play a little too much hard ball with Kupchak.
