If the Lakers lose against the Nuggets (or 2nd round vs the Thunder), will they trade Gasol or Bynum or neither?

Will the Bulls amnesty Carlos Boozer?

Will the Hawks blow up their team this offseason?

Will Dwight be a Laker, Maverick, Net, or something else?

Will the Jazz be back in the playoffs next year?

Will the Clippers trade Foye and Bledsoe if/when Billups is healthy next season?

If the Heat fail to win the title this season, will Bosh be traded/Spoelstra fired?

1. I think rumors will fly around, but I on’t think one will get traded, at least during the offseason.

2. I hope so but they won’t.

3. I doubt it. I’m not sure what they should do.

4. I’d rather him be a Net or Maverick then any other big market teams. If I had to guess I’d say Net.

5. I hope so, I like what they have going. I think they could be a 7 seed next year.

6. I don’t what there contracts are, but I doubt it.

7. No.

[bloodshyParticipant]

1. No. Gasol’s value is too low to trade him for what he’s worth.  Bynum has secured a long-term LA situation.

2. No. They don’t want to eat the $, even if it would open up cap space.

3. I’ll go with Net. I think DWill stays in NJ also.

4. No.  They won’t find anyone willing to give real value for them.

5. No.  They’ll feel they were sufficiently close and ownership won’t want to rock the boat.

1.is gerald green finally gonna show hes better player than demar derozan?

2.is sasha vujacic gonna lose a spot in NJN because of gerald green or some draft pick

3. ak 47 gonna lose his spot in whatever NBA team he plays for next year

4.jeremy lin or iman shumpert?

5.frank mir beat JDS in 15days?

[joshinator1Participant]

1. I think one of them should be traded lots of rumors will float around, ultimately I think gasol is gone, but they won’t recieve much in return player wise, but will get some future 1st round picks

2. They should and let gibson start, but it won’t happen this is the set core for awhile now

3. I think they should trade josh smith, the hawks crowd are not that fond of him anyways, but blowing it up should happen after that

4. I see howard as a net when they trade for him

5. Not sure about jazz going to the post season next year depends on what they do during the off season

6. They will try to probably trade bledsoe, but I don’t know what they would get in return hopefully a small forward

7. If the heat don’t win it all spoelstra is fired

If the Lakers lose against the Nuggets (or 2nd round vs the Thunder), will they trade Gasol or Bynum or neither?-im gonna guess yes, and preferrably pau. 

Will the Bulls amnesty Carlos Boozer?-no. Im not a boozer fan, but thats a lot of money they just gave him to eat.

Will the Hawks blow up their team this offseason?-I see joe johnson and jeff teague as guys who will defenitely be back and they will try to remain competitive around those two, so not necessarily "blow up", but everyone else could be gone. 

Will Dwight be a Laker, Maverick, Net, or something else?-If I had to guess, the magic fire van gundy and try to keep dwight and make him happy. But He wont be happy and will try and force a trade but the magic will hold onto him throughout the season and wait till the offseason to deal him.

Will the Jazz be back in the playoffs next year?-impossible to say. A number of teams that missed the playoffs such as golden state if bogut and curry get healthy, the suns if nash stays, the wolves if they continue to develop and rubio comes back strong, the rockets etc… will all have a chance to catch utah who isnt anything special. But we’ll have to wait and see.

Will the Clippers trade Foye and Bledsoe if/when Billups is healthy next season?-Does it really matter? They are both solid, but are role players who you can just as easily bring off the bench. I doubt the trade market for either is so high that the clips feel forced to deal them if billups is the starter.

If the Heat fail to win the title this season, will Bosh be traded/Spoelstra fired?-i could defenitely see bosh being on the market, but what would they get for him? Complete guess here, but ill say both remain in miami.

 About the Clips, I don’t know how much value Foye has, but Bledsoe is pretty valuable, if they are fine with parting with Bledsoe, and are comfortable with Billups and Williams in the backcourt alongside CP3 than by all means it would be a huge boost to trade Bledsoe for some frontcourt help, maybe the Jazz decide it’s time for Favors to get some more run and aren’t able to get a point via the draft or FA, and maybe a Millsap for Bledsoe and some other valuable pieces goes through, who knows. But remember, Nick Young is as good as gone, they didn’t give up much to get him anyways, just a 2nd round pick, but I seriously doubt the Clippers’ all-around depth going foward, and I know things are looking pretty good as of now, but remember CP3 is only locked in for one more year, they have to be able to prove that they will be a solid tittle contender for years to come and are capable of imrpoving their team, because I don’t think it’s a sure thing that Paul neccesarily stays, but I do think that he eventually will.

 If the Lakers lose against the Nuggets (or 2nd round vs the Thunder), will they trade Gasol or Bynum or neither?

They will try and trade Gasol, but really its a weak bench that is their biggest problem

Will the Bulls amnesty Carlos Boozer?

No, they should only use the amnesty clause if they think someone will claim him off of waivers so that they don’t have to pay his entire contract. "Teams can claim an amnestied player at a reduced rate, with the waiving team responsible for paying the balance of the contract."   Unlike Gilbert Arenas, Carlos Boozer is still a good NBA player, so he will get a decent sized contract and the Bulls will only have to pay the difference.

Will the Hawks blow up their team this offseason?

Not entirely, but I think that Josh Smith will be traded. They won’t be able to find any takers for Marvin Williams, but without Smith he will finally be able to have a much bigger role. Kirk Hinrich will not be resigned unless he takes massive pay cut. The players with the 9 lowest salaries on their team are all free agents. The only ones I see being resigned are Tracy McGrady, Jason Collins, Ivan Johnson and possibly WIllie Green. I would trade Smith for a lottery pick and something else possibly- if there are any takers that is.

Will Dwight be a Laker, Maverick, Net, or something else?

He’ll be with the Magic, but only if he gets to pick his coach and his entire team in addition to a max salary. In other words, he’s gone and I think that the Nets still remain his most realistic landing spot

Will the Jazz be back in the playoffs next year?

Yes, I see them back as an 8 seed or so. This team has the potential to be deadly in a few season though.

Will the Clippers trade Foye and Bledsoe if/when Billups is healthy next season?

Neither have much value as trade bait (Foye is a free agent anyways) so if they must get rid of one, I’d say Foye will be gone, because he plays a role that Williams, Billups and even Nick Young pretty much already perform. Bledsoe is younger, cheaper and has "potential," so I say the Clippers keep him. Billups is a soon to be free agent, but I am pretty sure he will re-sign with the Clippers because they want him back and he wants to be there.

If the Heat fail to win the title this season, will Bosh be traded/Spoelstra fired?

They HAVE to fire Spoelstra if they don’t win the title this year. Bosh will be "on the market," but I doubt there will be any takers honestly. They will hire a big-name coach- we just don’t know who it will be yet. Maybe Pat Riley will decide that its time to come out of retirement, and maybe Phil Jackson will ponder the same thing.

1. I don’t think neither will be traded in the off-season. Coach Brown will have a full training camp to fully implement his system. However, if the team flounders I do believe one of the bigs will dealt by the trading deadline, more than likely Gasol.

2. I think it’s a high possibility Booz will be amnestied in the off-season. The Bulls may feel like Gibson can give them much better play with an expanded role, plus Thibbs is really high on Gibson.

3. With a healthy Al Horford and a full training camp, I think the Hawks make another run with this current team. If the team starts to tank by the trading the dead-line then they may look to blow the team up.

4. D12 ends up with the Brooklyn Nets

5. The Jazz will be back in the playoffs next season. The have a very young raw talented team. PG is a question mark and Big Al wants to be paid other than that, sky’s the limit.

6. Regardless if Billups is fully healthy they will keep both guards. This is the second connective year Billups body betrayed him, and he came in really good shape this season. 7.

 If the Lakers lose against the Nuggets (or 2nd round vs the Thunder), will they trade Gasol or Bynum or neither? – gasol wil go. bynum will stay

Will the Bulls amnesty Carlos Boozer? – nope.

Will the Hawks blow up their team this offseason? -nope. maybe trade some pieces.

Will Dwight be a Laker, Maverick, Net, or something else? my bet is he’ll go to the nets. its a long plan, too fcked up if he wont go there

Will the Jazz be back in the playoffs next year? yes

Will the Clippers trade Foye and Bledsoe if/when Billups is healthy next season? yes

If the Heat fail to win the title this season, will Bosh be traded/Spoelstra fired? – i think the 3 will hold on for as long its a shame if they wont even get 1. but erik may be the one to go here if they fail now

im not saying this is what will happen. just my bets
