Latest real rumor about shaq is he will end up in Miami for Odom, Grant and someone else (caron?)
Boozer just took a dump on his agreement with the Cavs and signed an offer sheet with UTAH for $68M 6yrs
The Cavs are in deep s h i t now. Money talks....

The Cavs fucked up beyond belief. Unless, there is a deal with Utah, which I doubt, this is one of the biggest blunders of recent memory.

F*ck dats big news.... i dont kno who did better for the shaq deal if it happens... i think probably LA... yeh the Cavs are fu cked... they would have been a great up and coming team if they managed to hang onto boozer... in a couple years they would have Z, carlos, luke jackson, and bron... utah might slip under the radar next year and pull off a championship.... its a big MAYBE...

Utah already signed Okur. Put all that with AK and thats pretty good for a team that went 500 last year.

Oh, wait. Looks like the Cavs can match the offer. I wonder if they will. Thats a big cap buster. They really should though. Will lock up Boozer for years.

The Cavs will have to clear a bunch of cap room in order to match the offer so it's very unlikely they'll be able to retain Boozer.

They could have kept boozer at 600K for another year and then they would have full bird rights
The word is that Boozer asked for them not pick up the option because he wanted to improve his deal now and he would sign with them for the full MLE for 6 yrs
Then he was offered $68M for 6yrs by the Jazz and took it. FA can't sign until the 14th and I think he could still sign for the Cavs for less money. But he probably won't do it and that isn't very nice of him.
I respected Boozer. I liked him but this is just not right and I'm not anything close to a Cavs fan. Sure he has the right to be seduced by the much better offer but they were nice to him and he shouldn't make promisses that he wasn't going to keep.
That's just wrong and money can't be everything.

Shaq's deal to miami is getting real every minute. Shaq just gave his ok and said we wouldn't opt out of his contract next summer if the deal goes through.
It's Caron Butler, Odom and Brian Grant for Shaq. Lakers like it.
It's not yet official but it's more than just a another rumor now
Another word on the deal is that Kobe asked for Wade in any deal with the Heat but they don't want to trade Wade. We'll see.
It's getting more and more clear that Kobe calls the shoots in LA now. He is the new GM and isn't even under contract. What an EGO!!!

Crawford is also close to NY in a s&t deal
something like:
1) Anderson, Mutumbo, Harrington, Cezary Trybanski, and Moochie Norris for Crawford, Jerome Williams, Eddie Robinson and Chris Jeffries OR 2) Anderson, Mutumbo, Harrington, and Frank Williams for Crawford, Williams, and Robinson.
Crawford is expected to sign either a 6-yr., $57 million deal or a 7-yr., $70 million deal.

This summer brings new meaning to "I love this game", Mcgrady to Houston is big. But moving the big daddy makes things really intresting,especially since were a sim league.

And S Jackson is now a pacer in a s&t deal for Harrington. Al should put some nice numbers as a Hawk...
Antonio McDyess is very close to the Pistons for $30M 5yrs. 5yrs to Dice? Are they crazy? They must feel very lucky and they might win the jackpot but still....
Miami is trying to take Caron Butler of the deal. They have all the cards and they know it. Lakers have until the 14th to deal Shaq if they want to keep Kobe...
I feel sorry for the Lakers. To be in the hands of that bastard
