NBA Free Agent Game

From the pool of most talked-about free agents, you will select who signs where, and the order of signings (if a player signs with the same team for the purpose of making it simple if the signings are announced the same day it can be considered at same time, we don't need to work out salary cap orders or anything; you also don't need to make the salary work or anything but you probably won't win if you don't!)

The main pool of free agents will be Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Melo and Pau. You can select an additional bonus free agent of your choice and assign them too.

Three points for correct stating the destination and order, two points for the destination, one point for the order.

Example:

1. Lebron announces that he is playing for the Lakers.
2. Pau announces he is going to play for the Hawks.
3. Bosh announces that he is going to Houston.
4. Melo announces he is going to Dallas.
5. Wade announces he is going to the Hornets.
6. Marshon Brooks announces he is going to the Heat.

You have until Woj announces a deal in principal for one of the four players in the pool to enter.

I changed it just before you quoted me so that they don't double up on shooting guards.

I think they could easily end up with Greivis Vasquez at pg, trade Monta for a big man, and so trot out Vasquez/ Stephenson/ Parsons/Dirk/ random Shot blocker or brandan wright lineups and be a better offensive team and a bit better on defense as well. They probably don't have the cap room, but they can sort it out. People will facilitate if they're not going for the big fish.

They stole their team from Seattle and played Kendrick Perkins and Derek Fisher incredible minutes in the 2014 playoffs So I assume that any player they add will be just as ugly to watch.

The B_36: Jul 10, 2012

1. Gasol to Toronto.
2. Bosh is intrigued by Gasol's out of the blue decision, sits down with Ujiri and is wowed by his GM'ing skills, and decides to return to TO like the prodigal son .
3. Lebron follows his good friend Bosh out of a sense of camaraderie and fellowship, signs w Toronto for the veteran minimum to win rings and take his brand truly international.
4. Melo is confused by these shocking developments, and accidentally signs with the Shenzen Tigers of the Chinese Basketball League while on his annual pilgrimmage to the country to get his picture taken with a panda bear.

After all this, its pretty obvious how the dominoes fall for all the other minor free agents, so I won't bother going thru any more.

Edit: fine, one more: Wade retires, lives a very happy and fulfilling life in excellent physical health, passing away peacefully in his bed surrounded by friends and family at 109 years old, just to further piss off the people who called him a whiny flopping injury faker all these years.
