With all the wheeling and dealing going on this offseason, it can be tough to remember where all your favorite and least favorite players will be living in November. Every day something big happens, we'll give you a rundown of the NBA's most recent offseason wheelings and dealings. It's the NBA Circus.
The deals and rumors have begun to peter out as the big-name free agents have already been gobbled up. Dwight Howard looms over everything and everyone. The End is Near!
| Check Out Yesterday's Circus |
Tim Duncan re-ups with Spurs on a 3-year deal believed to be worth around $34 million. Winning a bunch of NBA titles will earn you that kind of respect. [Yahoo! Sports]
Center Marcus Camby will return to the Knicks after New York agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets. The Knicks will trade Toney Douglas, Josh Harrellson, Jerome Jordan, and second-round draft picks in 2014 and 2015, plus $2 million cash for a 38-YEAR-OLD CENTER. Christ. I know New York City tapwater is delicious, but there must be SOMETHING that makes the Knicks terrible at putting together basketball teams. [Sheridan Hoops]
The Utah Jazz buy out Raja Bell. Are the Lakers/Heat/Celtics potential destinations? Did you know Raja Bell was still alive? [Brian T. Smith]
Roy Hibbert signs offer sheet with the Trailblazers for four years and $58 million, but the Pacers will match it. [Mike Wells]
Steve Novak re-signs with New York for 4 years, $15 million. Some people may think that's too much money for a three-point specialist, but SOMEBODY has to be efficient on this team. [Adrian Wojnarowski]
The Spurs decided to give Boris Diaw a 2-year $9 million contract. This is a guy who was a benchwarmer on the historically bad Charlotte Bobcats last season before the Spurs snapped him up and turned him into a player who resembled the Boris Diaw of Phoenix Suns lore. [Yahoo! Sports]
Devin Ebanks re-signs with Lakers on a one-year deal. Cool, I guess. [Alex Kennedy]
RUMORS!
The Wizards are again considering using the amnesty clause on Andray Blatche. WHY DID THEY EVER STOP CONSIDERING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? ESPN's Marc Stein makes some sarcastic, but painfully true, remarks on his Twitter feed about how the Wiz are desperately seeking a trade partner that doesn't exist. How on earth they ever decided to extend Blatche's contract is a puzzle whose solution will forever elude me. [Marc Stein]
Dwight Howard, you guys. Dwight Fucking Howard. Something's going to happen. Soon. [SportsOlogy]
