shaq with the mavs would be the best choice in terms of advancing in the playoffs,i really wonder where AI is goin this free agency. willing to play for any team and any amount, but he needs to go to a contender i know hes not gonna take the backseat on a shitty team and he doesnt deserve to. although i didnt like his attutide last year because he was told there was a chance he might play off the bench and he left, but if it were a contender especially with somebody with a big ego (ie kobe, wade, etc etc) than i know itll be kool.

ATL is looking for an All Star calliber PG and this rumor has been out there. The salaries matchup. Make the trade, resign Jefferson...and sign AI in a backup role.That would give us...PG Hill / Bibby / TempleSG Manu / AI / HairstonSF Jefferson / AndersonPF Smith / BlairC Duncan / SplitterI know typically AI has been at the point...but for the sake of ball movement I would rather him be at the 2. The rookie Anderson is really a SG, but we can use him at the 3 and play small ball with the second unit. Bibby, AI, Anderson, Blair, and Splitter will bring a ton of energy and our starting 5 would definitely be solid.

He is around 12 mil and Dyess over 4. Smith is around 10, and Bibby around 6. So the salaries fit. ATL is looking to upgrade at the PG position, and Parker would be the best player in that trade. So it helps both teams.My only concern with that trade, is it doesnt address our outside shooting. We need more shooters. Anderson is gonna be solid of course. But we wouldnt have a real deadly 3 point guy in the starting lineup.

yes english is my mother's language and it's also my langaugeand the article even indicates that the celtics would have been bound to the 21 million on their cap REGARDLESS of if Pierce stayed or not - meaning THERE WAS NO PLAN B stupid people like you give Europe a bad reputation on this forum.
Instead, Pierce's deal averages out at less money than what Gay is making. Regardless of how it escalates, Pierce's salary in 2010-11 will undoubtedly be lower -- much lower -- than the $21.5 million he was set to earn, and will save Boston's ownership twice the difference in luxury tax dollars, a potential huge savings for the team.
And while we all expected Pierce back, the Celtics can breathe a sigh of relief because there was no quality Plan B.
If Pierce had walked away, the team would have been bound by the salary cap and it was unlikely they could have secured a player of his talent -- at least without cutting ties with Allen as well -- particularly in this deep-pocketed market where free agents are receiving head-shaking amounts of money early in the process. It might only get worse as the pickings get slimmer for cash-gushing teams that spent much of the past season clearing space to lure a superstar, but could get left scraping for whatever is leftover.
In the summer of 2005, the new CBA provided an amnesty clause: a one-time opportunity for each team to waive one, and only one, player and avoid having him count against the team's luxury tax calculation.
32. When do free agents stop counting against the team's cap?When any one of the following three things happen: * The player signs a new contract with the same team. When this happens, the player's effect on his team's team salary is based on his new salary. * The player signs with a different team. As soon as this happens, the player becomes the new team's problem, and his salary no longer counts against his old team. * The team renounces the player. (See question number 33)
if lebron doesnt head to miami, hes gonna ask himself "what if" his whole life.

On the other hand, it's just dumb to pass on 4-5 rings and at least 3 finals MVPs just because you want more attention... whatever. I'd be very sad if Lebron stays in Ohio.
