NBA Hot Stove Thread


Moon is a lockdown defender, athletic as hell and 6'8" and has the ability to get to the rim. I like this dude A LOT!

I have a feeling your Heat will miss his presence if you don't match this offer.

Moon did very little....like I said, there was no one better player at the time to play the position. He is listed at 6-8...but believe me when I tell you that he is just a tad above D.Wade's height and he is ONLY 6-4 or 6-5. I saw him enough to think he is a decent player. And let's not get TOO ahead of ourselves....he was barely here HALF a season....they weren't too attached...
 
Hakim Warrick a Future Cavalier?!


I've always liked Hakim, ever since his days in Syracuse...

Cavaliers not done shopping; team reportedly offers contract to Grizzlies' Hakim Warrick - cleveland.com
 
ooohhhh. I like what I hear! I'm keeping my fingers crossed with this one!

Like I said, Moon ONLY started because Beasley just was not ready to defensively assume the roll....other than that, Moon was a throw-in in the Jermaine O'Neal trade and would have gotten splinters on his a$$ sitting on the bench.
 
Ben Wallace Signs with...... DETROIT!

Looks like the rumors of Iverson coming down to Miami persist. IF..and this is a HUGE IF, he is willing to take a off-the-bench roll and play about 27 minutes a game and sign for HALF of the exception...around $2.5 million for one year...hell yeah, why not?? The Heat do not have ANY big time points off the bench.

What an absolute STEAL of a contract! Way to go Danny!

IF his knee holds up well, I agree. Cleveland has taken out an "insurance policy" so to speak for the center position. Funny how the East as always been known to have very few big men...and Cleveland has 3 very formidable ones. :up

It's a nice risk. One that I'd be willing to take. His contract is basically the league minimum for a proven difference maker. Plus, the Cavs are in position to let Powe sit for 1/2 a year before they will really need his services.

While everyone else in the NBA is relaxing this offseason, it looks like Danny Ferry and Dan Gilbert are showing a certain someone they are doing everything in their power to make this team a winner. They are proving that they won't stop at trying to improve this team each and every way possible. Go Cavs!!
 

They have definately been the most busy of all the NBA teams AND they have made some smart choices in their signings. I think, and this just my opinion, this is not so much to KEEP a certain someone, but IF, by some small chance a certain some DOES leave, they alteast will have a good enough team to be competitve in possibly signing another big free agent....let's call it "plan b, and c and d"...which is a very smart plan/s.
 

While that may be true, I am finally coming to terms that if that certain someone does leave for some odd reason (which I don't think will happen), but if he does, I won't feel bad about it because at least ownership is doing everything in their power that they could do to keep him here. If he leaves, there's not much I can second guess that could've been done differently.
