Free Agency 2012 Thread

There are some "procedural issues" being worked out, but it looks like Robin Lopez will go to the Hornets as part of a three-way deal:

This also gives the Wolves some cap space to go after AK.

I did not expect the wolves to throw themselves at batum and ak47 like they did.

Turiaf to sign a one year minimum deal with the Clippers.

Good signing for the Clippers. I'm starting to think that if they lock down Chris Paul and are willing to consistently flirt with the luxury tax that they will become a contender for a decade.

Dwight is now saying that he will resign with the Mavs if he doesnt get nets or lakers...

I don't care about the Dwightmare anymore, but I wanted to add to my post count.

It's been a slow day with the number of FA's dwindling. The Lakers are interested in Jodie Meeks. The parties are talking.

I would think there should be more news with that many FA's left.

Close to 1/2 probably won't be on an NBA roster at the start of the season.

Good point. On another note, AK has officially signed with the Wolves, who completed the trade they needed to free up cap space for AK.

Kind of feel bad for CJ. Dallas was toying with him to get at Deron, but then left him hanging and signed Delonte West.
NJ has shown no interest.
And the Jazz have clearly moved on.
The only talk was Cleveland had him in for an interview last weekend or earlier this week but no contract.

I don't feel sorry for him. He shouldn't have thrown his coach under the bus at the end of the season (you know the one right before the free agency period). Why would someone want a 10-12 man on the roster who destroys team chemistry.
