Unless Nate Robinson gets an offer from the Kings, looks like he will be signing a contract for less than 2 million dollars. Whoever gets him at that price is getting an absolute steal, for a very good energy bench guy.
I think he will endup in Orlando, since they can still offer part of the MLE and they just lost Alston, and Lee

Antonio McDyess is headed to the Spurs.
Would've liked Sheed, but Dyess is still good. Great rebounder and has a deadly mid-range J. This has been a great offseason for Spurs fans.

Haha yeah that's the only thing adding Dyess isn't exactly lowering our reputation for being real old. As said though, the Spurs window for another title is 2, maybe 3 years, so adding a proven vet who will give good production makes sense.

hells yeah marion is, and the grizz, being the glutton's for punishment they are, LOVE to help swing deals for division rivals so we are making sure the mavs can give the salary cap rules the good ol 'Fuck you' by taking on stackhouse, then immediately buying him out. God gravy i fucking hate our owner sometimes.

It's obvious why you didn't got a pick. After giving the Lakers a championship, it's more than an obligation to help other western conference teams be contenders. I'm guessing next you'll be involved in a trade that gets the Spurs something they are lacking. It would only be fair.

Actually I think their window is -2 years, since the last legit chance they had (and will have) with their current group was 2 years ago.

considering we used the cap in the lakers trade to get Z-Bo, eventhough Z-Bo has his problems, I'd say Pau Gasol <<< Z-Bo, Marc Gasol, Darrell Arthur, Javaris Crittenton (which we traded to get our 1st back), and Lakers 1st this year. Yes, Gasol helped the Lakers get the ring, but he's still at best a 2nd option and looking back I think we got a pretty good deal

The funny thing is Grizzlies fans used to kill Pau for being overpaid and Zbo is only getting paid 450k less and is a hundred times worse. The Memphis owner's strategy is to be on welfare and live off the revenue of the other NBA teams and you are still throwing out that Pau isn't a #1 option line like it means something.

I can't believe you believe that but if so it's an opinion and I have to respect it. Hopefully you aren't just fooling yourself. Fans do that sometimes. With Gasol (that little talented bitch) you were a respeactable team. 1st round fodder but at least a playoff team. Gasol, as shown in cased you missed all of the Lakers games, is one of the best big men in the league. Kobe is the still the man in that team but Gasol was crucial too at some points. Z-Bo never lead a team to anything and was never a good wing man either. Him being better than Gasol can't be read without a smile. He won't lead the Grizz anywhere close to the playoffs even putting Knicks like numbers and with a talent backcourt and SF to help out. He's still better than Marc Gasol, Darrell Arthur and Javaris who are lucky to have a long carrer in the NBA (and I actually think Marc is talented). All in all the Grizzlies gained with that trade a ring. And that's assuming that Mitch will send Wallace one of the rings they won as a thank you gift. That's the least he could do. But that's fine. I'm sure there isn't one fan in the NBA who doesn't like Wallace. It was a pleasure to watch Gasol blossom with Kobe and it's not like the Grizzlies would go anywhere anyway with that cheap owner. That's why he loved being a part of the Marion trade. He got tons of cash in that deal.

The Memphis owner's strategy is to be on welfare and live off the revenue of the other NBA teams and you are still throwing out that Pau isn't a #1 option line like it means anything. The funny thing is you act like you know what grizz fans think. Grizz fans didn't think Pau was overpaid. Grizz fans thought he was a baby. They didn't turn on him until it was leaked he wanted to be traded, which happens to just about any player in any city once the fans think he doesn't want to be a part of the team. Z-Bo isn't a million times worse. So you can stop that crap right now. Am I a Z-Bo fan? Nope. Would I rather have Gasol? Yep. Doesn't change the fact Gasol isn't leaps and bounds better than Z-Bo. A better passer and a better team player, but both are about the same as an offensive option, neither is that great of a defender (can't tell you how many times I got sick of Gasol playing matador defense), and Z-Bo is a better rebounder. I'm only throwing out the Pau isn't a #1 option line because it's true. Why wouldn't I say something if it's true? Did I say the reason the Grizz traded him was because he wasn't a number #1 option? No. Did I say it wasn't a financial move? No.

That's why he loved being a part of the Marion trade. He got tons of cash in that deal. Where did anyone say Z-Bo was better than Gasol? I said that entire package was better than Gasol. Z-Bo also has never been on a team with Kobe and Lamar. Not defending Z-bo because I think he's a black hole, but i'm just stating facts. Yes, we went to the playoffs with Gasol. We also went to lotto land with Pau and won just as many games after we traded him as we were when we had him that year. My whole point is that I'm tired of people acting like we got absolutely nothing from the lakers trade when that couldn't be further from the truth.
