news on the new Oklahoma City team...

Oklahoma City looking to deal Wilcox?
LINK

A few trades seem to be a more likely approach. Forwards Chris Wilcox and Donyell Marshall, both of whom have attractive expiring contracts, could be dealt to free more minutes for Green, and guard Luke Ridnour could be packaged to create more minutes for Westbrook. Presti also has a glut of centers in Swift, Johan Petro and Mouhamed Sene, any one of whom could be traded this summer. Look for Presti to improve Oklahoma City's roster through trades this summer, not free agency.


Pietrus to Okie City?

Oklahoma City could take a flyer on wing players like Mickael Pietrus, Matt Barnes and Kelenna Azubuike of Golden State or Dorell Wright of Miami. Azubuike and Wright are restricted free agents, meaning their teams can match any offer to retain them.
-------------------

this new team wants to have a fresh start in the NBA. with the team build around Durant and Green who have the legs to run, moving those older guys is inevitable. and with those expiring contracts, Wilcox and Marshall could still be good pick-ups as complimentary big men.

why don't they try to get the services of maggette...?

-----

^^^it seems that the OKC Team is opting to make changes by way of trading and not by signing free agents, a good strategy in saving money to used in the near future. perhaps they are also targetting to land big names come 2010.

gusto ko laro nyan ni pietrus..ang mj ng france...
mukhang mas mabibigyan sya ng playing time sa oklahoma kaysa sa warriors

-----

besides they won't be needing Maggete since they have KD and Wilkins on their roster (the two is sharing minutes, sometimes both are on the floor)..if Maggete will join them, that would mean conflicts on the rotations..Green usually plays SF while KD plays SG..there are times when Wilkins will play SG and KD at SF and green will come from the bench..

i'm actually more impressed with Green's game that Durant's. but the 2 compliments each other well. however, they still need to beef up their roster for them to contend with the rest of the league.

-----

Yeah, there were a lot of instances last season wherein KD was forcing his shot..but nobody can't deny it..this guy has talents..he won't win the ROY for nothing..(though i really thought Horford was a lot impressive than him)

horford was also my bet for ROY... but durant was also impressive though... durant just needs to figure out how to get good shots and not force it...

-----

horford is a lot better than KD...mas kumpleto laro nya that KD who is just a scorer for me...
at mas marami nman npatunayan si hoford like his big game during game 3 and 4 sa first round ng PO

-----

In Durant's defense, he had nobody else to rely on in Seattle. He had no choice but to force some shots that he wouldn't have taken if he had better teammates. Horford wasn't the star in Atlanta, and he definitely had better teammates than Durant. Sometimes it really helps a young player playing alongside the likes of Johnson, Bibby and Smith.

-----

Limited to 1-3 posts per day.

agree with pareng Jhokz. Durant is forced to become the franchise player in Seatle and it's upon himself to make those shots especially during crucial times. Durant could have played better if he has someone to rely on to when he's trapped or doubled.

-----

Mukhang seryoso rin ang Hornets sa pag-improve ng line up nila..una extend nila si CP3 tapos ngayon sabay sila sa ibang team contact kang James Posey at Jarvis Hayes.

-----

di naman papakawalan ng hornets si cp3...dami nya nagawa sa team.
ginawa nyang star si west and chandler, nakapasok pa sila playoffs!
next season target: WCF baby!!

shit happens!

NBA: Thomas eyes return to Spurs


Kurt Thomas spent four months in San Antonio last season, just long enough to determine he'd like to come back for a second tour of duty with the Spurs.

Thomas also has been around the business of the NBA long enough to know he'd be best served to look around a bit before committing to that desire in writing.

Though it remains his preference to return to San Antonio next season, Thomas — an unrestricted free agent — said Monday he plans to investigate other opportunities before signing a new contract.

“Hopefully, things work out that way,” Thomas said of the possibility of re-signing with the Spurs. “That's the great thing about being a free agent. I get to weigh my options and decide what's best for me and my family.”

Lost amid the hubbub of the Spurs' week-long recruitment of free-agent swingman Corey Maggette has been their low-key courtship of Thomas, who played an integral role in the team's run to the Western Conference finals last season.

The biggest piece of the Spurs' free-agent puzzle this offseason, Maggette has been pondering interest from a horde of salivating suitors since opting out of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers last week.

The Spurs, owning a $5.8 million mid-level exception with Maggette's name on it, are considered the favorites to land him.

However, Maggette has received similar overtures from Boston, Utah, Orlando, Detroit, Cleveland and New Orleans. Maggette also could draw interest from Philadelphia and Golden State, two teams with salary cap space to outbid the Spurs.

The rest of the Spurs' free-agent picture should begin to clarify once Maggette makes his decision.
