What's new

Free Agency 2012 Thread

Not huge news, but Rudy Fernandez is going back to Spain: "Rudy Fernandez: Tomorrow, my deal with Real Madrid for three years will be oficial. Really happy to be back! I will tell you why I've taken this decision!! Twitter"
 
Another biggie: Adrian Wojnarowski: Brooklyn has agreed to a 3-year, $5M sign-and-trade for Reggie Evans, sources tell Y! The Clippers will get a distant future 2nd round pick.
 
Nic Batum does not want to return to the Portland Trail Blazers "under any circumstances for a variety of reasons," according to an NBA source close to the situation. Batum, a free agent who visited the Minnesota Timberwolves this week, is said to have told the Blazers Tuesday that he does not want to return to the team.

And:
Nicolas Batum: trust me I didn't... Twitter

Go figure.

Finally (for this post): Lakers plan to meet with Antawn Jamison and try to make a sign-and-trade for Steve Nash.
 
Eric Gordon plans to sign a 4-year $58 million offer sheet with the Suns, which the Hornets are expected to match. I guess Eric Gordon was quoted as saying that his heart's in Phoenix now. Maybe a half-hearted effort to deter the Hornets from matching?
 
Looks like now that the Deron Williams watch is over, we are switching to the Steve Nash Watch...

Rumblings are it is between a sign and trade with the Lakers, or a straight up signing by the Mavericks or Raptors.

Also, Mavericks are throwing their name in the Jeremy Lin sweepstakes. Free agency is getting interesting...
 
I think Batum is being overpaid... big time.

I'm hearing from some message boards that Jeremy Lin is going to sign an offer sheet with the Houston Rockets for 4yr/40 million. 5/5/15/15. I can't find any confirmation on this. I would assume the Knicks are going to match for Jeremy Lin, right? I mean, that guy is marketable money making machine.
 
Looks like the Knicks are in the lead for the services of Steve Nash. I wonder if he thinks he can resurrect Stoudemire's career?
