Real Madrid has signed Sergio Rodriguez, who was most recently with the Knicks.

 

Rodriguez also played with the Blazers and Kings while in the NBA.

 

The contract runs through the 12-13 season.

 

Rodriguez :prayer:

 

Gostava que tivesse ficado na NBA.

Clearly, Robert Sarver was not willing to wait around and see another one of their targeted free agents get scooped up by another team as happened to Amir Johnson, who signed a rather large contract (5yrs/$34m) with the Raptors yesterday.

 

Nor did he want to see the price for their guy continue to be driven up as this crazy free agent market got even more desperate, as the big cap space team were left scrambling to fill their rosters.

 

The impatient Sarver struck fast this morning, coming to terms with 5-year power forward Hakim Warrick. According to Yahoo!, the deal is 4 years/$18m, however KTAR's Gambo reports the final year is a team option, making it a 3yr/$12m deal with the 4th not guaranteed.

 

$4.5m per year isn't a huge hit to the payroll and the three years isn't too large of a commitment for a guy who's roughly a 10-point, 4-rebound, 20-minute backup.

 

This likely is further indication that Amare isn't coming back (no surprise), but the deal isn't so large that it precludes the Suns from doing a sign-and-trade with another team like Houston if that option comes up. But the Suns couldn't afford to wait and see IF Houston wanted Amare and IF Amare wanted Houston and IF the Suns could agree to terms with Houston and IF Luis Scola could agree to a new contract the Suns were willing to accept. That's a lot of IFs.

 

We'll have more on Warrick soon, but my recollection of him is of an athletic power forward with a decent mid-range game. Not known as a defender or rebounder, one could imagine a platoon of guys getting minutes on the Suns front line as opposed to one guy who can both score, defend and rebound.

 

The Suns, wisely, won't try and replace Amare with one guy but will have a group approach and seek a longer term "star" solution down the road. Given the options at power forward in this market, that's the best approach.

 

Gut reaction, I like the deal. It was decisive and fills a roster need without making a long or large commitment that will limit flexibility to go after better players should those opportunities arise.

esse gajo tem um certo hype... :mrgreen: eu também acreditava que ele era capaz de mais na NBA. Que tenha sorte no Real.

 

e gosto do Warrick, até é bom para uns rebuilding Sunsecos.

[Perdigas]

Para o Real Sergio? :( Pode ser que o Llull vá para o Caja Laboral 8)

 

Não jogaram mal os Suns, o Warrick é razoável.

[Nuk]

O Warrick é = ao Villa só que ainda mais burro e com menos lançamento. Nada demais jogador razoável mas que pensa que é o maior da sua terra, é com cada lançamento á Bryant.

a que soltei a maior gargalhada foi com a do "Pale Free Agent Summit".

[#24]

Brian Windhorst of The Plain Dealer reports that LeBron James may have been more impressed with the presentation from the Nets than he was with the presentation from the Knicks.

 

Both teams met with James on Thursday, the first official day of this year's NBA free agency.

 

"Here's what I hear from yesterday: LeBron interested in Nets pitch but not so much NY. NY trying at moment to secure Amare' to help cause," Windhorst wrote on his Twitter page.

A reunião de Riley, Arison e Zo com o LeBron demorou 3 horas. Ninguém fez comentários, ao contrário do que sucedeu com as equipas anteriores.

 

O contrato do Pierce é de 61M por 4 anos.

[NIkeL]

A reunião com os Clippers também já acabou. Não houve comentários.

 

Está a decorrer a conferência de imprensa do Byron e já disse uma coisa engraçada: "There's nothing like winning at home...I won three championships in my hometown & not a better feeling." *Hint*Hint*

[Jonas F]

O Corey Maggette vai para Milwaukee?

[Gavazzo]

Pat Riley to The Miami Herald on meet with LeBron: "It was very relaxed. We all know him. There was genuine respect."

 

O Amar'e terá recebido proposta de 100M/5 anos dos Knicks.

O Corey Maggette vai para Milwaukee?

Já lá está.

[NIkeL]

After four meetings have come/gone, pattern is teams feel they went well but LeBron non-committal with everyone.

[Gavazzo]

CLEVELAND ---- LeBron James got a close look at what has eluded him during his seven years in the NBA. And Miami Heat President Pat Riley, who met with James and his group on Friday, easily obliged.

 

"These people [James and his group] need to see who we are," said Riley at his hotel, shortly after his session with James. "They need to see me, Andy [Elisburg], Zo [Alonzo Mourning], Spo [coach Erik Spoelsra], Mickey [Arison] and Nick [Arison] --- and the rings."

 

Riley has won five NBA titles as a coach. His last with the Miami Heat in 2006.

 

Riley and his Heat contingent of owner Micky Arison, Senior Vice President Andy Elisburg, VP of Basketball Operations Nick Arison, VP of Player Programs Mourning and coach Spoelstra arrived at James' office in two black SUVs at 10:30 a.m. and left at 1:50 p.m.

 

Riles :lol: :prayer:

 

E agora está toda a gente preocupada em Miami com a reunião surpesa que o Wade vai ter esta noite com os Bulls, depois de já se ter encontrado com eles ontem e de nada estar planeado :s

[El Colosso]

Vinha aqui postar isso da 2ª reunião do Wade com os Bulls. Parece que vai ser feita com o agente, também...

[ProkhoLov]

Esta é pra assinar.

Nunca pensei que o Amare fosse para os Knicks.

 

E muito dinheiro pelo Amare.

@dwadeofficial

 

O l2ms quer dizer laughing to myself. Deve estar a referir-se a isso.

 

Pat Riley on Wade about to have second meeting with Bulls: "We feel very strongly about our commitment to Dwyane and our fans."

 

Mas confesso que n esperava nada disto, pensava que ele só andava a fazer reuniões "de rotina" (as que estavam planeadas) e que esperava pelo Bosh até dia 4 ou 5 para assinar connosco. Mas acredito na mesma que fica, é claramente o mais provável.

[outsider]

É o LeBron James o free agent mais desejado da história da liga?

[El Colosso]

Sem qualquer dúvida. A única coisa que se pode comparar é o Shaq em 96, mas esse estava mais que visto para onde ia

Não? São os únicos para quem é primeira opção.

[Nuk]

Pensei que ele fosse ficar nos Suns ou então Heat.

[andriy pereplyotkin]

Os Suns não lhe dão o max pelos 5 anos como ele quer. Estão demasiado preocupados com os joelhos.

[Nuk]

Mas tá bom para os Knicks é mais um para ajudar a defesa :mrgreen:
