InYourHonor53 (5:58:45 PM): I'm so scared of this FA!
InYourHonor53 (5:58:53 PM): I really think Granger should want to come here pretty badly
BowN9008 (5:59:07 PM): if I offer him Max he's coming
InYourHonor53 (5:59:09 PM): he'll be #1 scoring option, playing along with the best PG in the league, a young team with an incredible bench
BowN9008 (5:59:16 PM): so I encourage you to give me Bell
InYourHonor53 (5:59:17 PM): i can offer max too, but I think we should make contract reasonable
BowN9008 (5:59:28 PM): where are the final ratings anyways
InYourHonor53 (5:59:29 PM): like, he shouldn't get much more than CP3
InYourHonor53 (5:59:35 PM): it's a big post in announcements

BowN9008 (6:00:52 PM): oh nm
BowN9008 (6:00:54 PM): I would be excited
BowN9008 (6:00:59 PM): Granger might be too good to pass up on
InYourHonor53 (6:01:16 PM): you can try but for real, I think he'd rather come here
BowN9008 (6:01:21 PM): I don't
InYourHonor53 (6:01:24 PM): he's not a 3rd option
InYourHonor53 (6:01:26 PM): that's bull
BowN9008 (6:01:26 PM): title or be gay in Charlotte
InYourHonor53 (6:01:30 PM): haha
BowN9008 (6:01:38 PM): he knows what he can do with Kobe and Lebron
InYourHonor53 (6:01:46 PM): dunno that you have a title in your future if you have three studs and then all 68 rated players
BowN9008 (6:01:48 PM): maybe you ought just give me Bell so we don't find out
InYourHonor53 (6:01:50 PM): lololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!
BowN9008 (6:02:34 PM):
InYourHonor53 (6:02:49 PM): trying to check out my team see if I should move Raja or not
InYourHonor53 (6:02:53 PM): right now I have
InYourHonor53 (6:03:19 PM): Hawes/Lee/Gordon/Terry/CP3
Gasol/Tyrus/Raja/Rudy/Delonte
Yi and DeRozan
InYourHonor53 (6:03:30 PM): at worst, I WILL get Wilson Chandler for SF
InYourHonor53 (6:03:40 PM): so I can probably afford to move Raja
BowN9008 (6:04:09 PM): you going to bid?
InYourHonor53 (6:04:13 PM): yep
BowN9008 (6:04:16 PM): im waiting
InYourHonor53 (6:04:23 PM): haha what cap do you have right now?
BowN9008 (6:04:27 PM): 20 M
InYourHonor53 (6:04:28 PM): your salary chart was not updated last I checked
InYourHonor53 (6:04:32 PM): I have 21.6
BowN9008 (6:04:34 PM): it's basically the same
BowN9008 (6:04:39 PM): you can't offer more than 20 M
BowN9008 (6:04:42 PM): I planned ALL This
InYourHonor53 (6:04:45 PM): max is 25
BowN9008 (6:04:48 PM): no
BowN9008 (6:04:52 PM): 6 year 120,000 M
InYourHonor53 (6:04:56 PM): yes, BUT
BowN9008 (6:04:58 PM): no year can go over 20 M
InYourHonor53 (6:04:59 PM): the max for oen year is 25
BowN9008 (6:05:06 PM): security
BowN9008 (6:05:17 PM): I can offer Granger as much money as you
InYourHonor53 (6:05:17 PM): rimrocker13.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=freeagents&thread=1025&page=1
InYourHonor53 (6:05:44 PM): you're just trying to do this to get me to give you Raja. I don't think Granger should really get above 16 to be honest.
InYourHonor53 (6:05:49 PM): CP3 signed happily for 13 mil
BowN9008 (6:05:53 PM): I'll give him max
BowN9008 (6:05:55 PM): he's a stud
BowN9008 (6:06:00 PM): you always talk about him and you know your talent
InYourHonor53 (6:06:02 PM): They're in the same part of their careers
InYourHonor53 (6:06:09 PM): oh I know he's a stud, but we should be realistic
BowN9008 (6:06:16 PM): he'll make a nice addition with Kobe and Lebron in my new empire
InYourHonor53 (6:06:28 PM): haha no way he'd go there man. I'm sorry I really don't see it.
BowN9008 (6:06:36 PM): you aren't the PA
InYourHonor53 (6:06:38 PM): He would much rather be #1 option and have the chance to go AGAINST Lebron/Kobe
InYourHonor53 (6:06:47 PM): well I might do some, but obviously not for a guy I bid on
BowN9008 (6:06:51 PM): if this was real life
BowN9008 (6:06:57 PM): Artest would take nothing ot play for me
InYourHonor53 (6:07:08 PM): haha nah it'd take at least 6 mil
BowN9008 (6:07:12 PM): whatever
BowN9008 (6:07:16 PM): it took like 5 for him to play with Kobe
BowN9008 (6:07:18 PM): Kobe AND Lebron
BowN9008 (6:07:23 PM): he'd be like a fat kid in a candy store
InYourHonor53 (6:07:34 PM): 5 for him to play with Kobe *and Gasol, Bynum, Odom*
InYourHonor53 (6:07:37 PM): you forgot that part
BowN9008 (6:07:41 PM): **** Bynum
BowN9008 (6:07:44 PM): not even worth mentioning
InYourHonor53 (6:07:46 PM): *for the title defenders*
InYourHonor53 (6:07:46 PM): hahahaha
InYourHonor53 (6:07:50 PM): have you seen what he's doing?
BowN9008 (6:07:51 PM): Lebron and Camby >>>>>>>>>>>>> Odom and Gasol
BowN9008 (6:07:56 PM): idc what his fat ass does in summer league
BowN9008 (6:08:01 PM): he can't move
InYourHonor53 (6:08:04 PM): um no, this would be the regular season
BowN9008 (6:08:10 PM): how is he even playing?
InYourHonor53 (6:08:14 PM): you remember that it started?
InYourHonor53 (6:08:16 PM): he's dominating
BowN9008 (6:08:18 PM): I figured they would trade him for like Andre Miller
InYourHonor53 (6:08:29 PM): they just signed himt o an extension
InYourHonor53 (6:08:31 PM): they're not trading him
BowN9008 (6:08:34 PM): I wouldn't want that fatass
InYourHonor53 (6:08:47 PM): b/c you're very weird with him
InYourHonor53 (6:09:16 PM): 38:47 mpg, 20.8ppg, 9.0r, .8blk, 1.3stl, 1.5ast, shooting 58% and 77% from line
BowN9008 (6:09:20 PM): Give me Tyrus
InYourHonor53 (6:09:26 PM): it's early, i expect points to come down and r and blk up
InYourHonor53 (6:09:36 PM): but he's looking very good for a just turned 22 year old
BowN9008 (6:09:39 PM): Tyrus
InYourHonor53 (6:09:44 PM): you gotta give me something in return bud
BowN9008 (6:09:47 PM): Lebron: "Come Tyrus, join me"
BowN9008 (6:09:53 PM): 60th pick and basically Danny Granger
InYourHonor53 (6:09:55 PM): 60 is not enough
InYourHonor53 (6:09:56 PM): haha nah
InYourHonor53 (6:10:01 PM): I think he'd rather come here anyway
BowN9008 (6:10:05 PM): if you don't give me Granger
BowN9008 (6:10:08 PM): I'll make it hard on you
InYourHonor53 (6:10:12 PM): you mean tyrus
BowN9008 (6:10:16 PM): yeah
InYourHonor53 (6:10:30 PM): meh, I'm not going to give him away, he's expiring and he's young and good and has a nice rating already
BowN9008 (6:10:37 PM): we will see
BowN9008 (6:10:45 PM): final offer
BowN9008 (6:10:48 PM): Green and 60 for Tyrus
InYourHonor53 (6:11:24 PM): I will think about it I guess...Green was taken 2nd round right?
InYourHonor53 (6:11:37 PM): by you not IRL
BowN9008 (6:11:37 PM): it's a take it or leave it
BowN9008 (6:11:51 PM): because I'm going after Granger if you don't meet my demands
BowN9008 (6:12:00 PM): Tyrus for Green and 60 or Bell for 60
BowN9008 (6:12:04 PM): and yes 32nd overall
The Heat have Kobe, Lebron, Camby and 20 M in cap space and are really playing this kind of hardball? Experts say GM Boen was upset about the lack of secondary players in this FA class, but still this is low even for him. We will see how this unfolds, but this is the kind of stuff that could start a Bobcat/Heat rivalry.
