2024 NBA Season

Rajon Rondo has signed his contract with the Pelicans. Rondo will get $3.3 million next season, as reported by Shams Charania.

There's no big deal and attraction for Rajon Rondo anymore. But this is still a good contract for him, old players seems to have lower their salaries also by the management. And yet he is now on a team that isn't that making some noise and attraction in the league. Good luck to him and for the rest of the Pelicans.

I feel for Derrick Rose right now. There are not a lot of teams interested in signing him, especially for another huge contract, as we all know that most teams have already hit the salary caps and only very few with some money left to spend on smaller contracts. Gone are the days when he would command a big money contract, even from endorsements. He might have to settle for a small contract and maybe work his way up and prove that he still deserves big money even after his injuries.

Before the injury he was sensational but injuries after injuries slowly kill his carrier, I miss the old DRose but it seems like it's hard for him to bring that back again. He is not the same as his old self but he can still play and that is important, slowly if he can recover I think he can make another big contract and he still young so I believe he can still grow if he will really do his best. Paul George was once suffered a serious injury but he made his way back and prove to everyone that he can still play, now he paired up with Westbrook, I think he will make a name in Thunder as well.

Well money-wise this may not seem to be a good deal but adding rondo to a team that has a very formidable and solid frontlibe makes the pelicans dangerous this coming season. We really can't take away what rondo can bring to this team experience and leadershipwise. Perhaps that's anthony johnson and cousins need to take this team to the next level

At the moment, Derick Rose is negotiating with the Cavs, according to ESPN. The max that Rose can get in Cleveland is 2.5 mln per one season. 

It seems that Cavs will bring half of league just to match with the Warriors. But...

With lots of games he missed because of injuries, he is lucky to get that offer.
Although Warriors still is more solid with their current team composition.

I don't know what to think about this one, for me the Cavs should just take it easy and wait for a miracle (and upset in the Western conference or some injury). They are already in the NBA Finals unless Lebron gets injured, I don't see the Cavs even losing one game in these playoffs if they are healthy. Boston did ok but adding Hayward and a rookie won't stop James.

As for Rose, if he can fit into a role player model he could be a great addition, I'm more worried about his attitude honestly not about his fitness or skills.

Somehow true but maybe it was minimized now. Attitude can be changed, at least if he will feel the intimidating aura of Lebron James if they will play as a teammate on the same floor. I see Rose will step down here and will just do what kind of help he can bring to the CAVS.

But still prior to that contribution, the questioned if he can play at leats 50% of Cavaliers game throughtout the season. We all know that this guy is prone injury resulting minimal performance by him in every game.

I can't say any word but it's about desperation. Cavs is getting desperate to get this season's championship. They sure are upset with what happened and they want to upgrade their roster. Well Rose is another good just like Lebron who is a one man team.

Yes, Dennick Rose seems like a desperate attempt.
Cleveland was wrong to lay off GM Griffin who had almost convinced Jimmy Butler. Cleveland can win his conference (probably against Boston) but is clearly inferior to Golden State. LBJ next year will surely change team

If Derrick Rose goes to Cavs, what role should he fit it? A backup to Irving? I don't know if this is a good moved from the Cavs management. I guess what others have speculate, this is a desperation move from their end. I think what they need is a good role player that can defend a opposing teams main man and not another superstar which career is going to the pipe. I know that Cavs owner has a lot of money to spent, but they should choose a player that will perfectly fit with the team and not to disrupt it.

He is but in recent seasons he didn't have "major" injuries or missed entire seasons which were pretty common for him at Chicago. It's true attitude is something that can be controlled and changed but remember he has a huge conflict at the middle of the season threatning to leave, missing practice, etc. He's definitely a prima donna type of player.

However the Cavs already "reformed" J.R. Smith. No one can deny that, he's not an all star of course but we can all see how he's a very valuable role player for the Cavs, a 3pt threat and a decent defender. He can even be a great weapon from the bench. If Rose can fit in like that in Cleveland he has a much higher ceiling than Smith.

Actually an injured prone Derrick Rose still has better than stats compare to other players. According to his stats last season with New York Knicks, he established an average 18 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, for 64 GAMES. The only downside here is, as usual, lots of missed games.

With Rose current status today, I think it's fine if he will landed on Cavaliers. No such thing now as main role for him because he knows he have to adjust to playing style of Lebron James like Dwayne Wade did on Miami Heat even on his prime era. Like I said in my previous post here, attitude are being changed. The disadvantage here like I said is the missed games so it's hard to cover that hole if he will missed. Now what is the solution? Offer Rose a standard salary so still it will make Cavs' salary cap more rooms.

Right now, there are 3 teams courting Derrick Rose, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. But remember, sometimes surprises happened like what happened to Paul George.

Got your point as it was the always scenario and it can be take as a reference for teams that will adopt him. But still we are talking here in advanced and who might know that Rose "might" be changed.

About J.R Smith, that's the one I like to formed by the Cavs. If Rose will stay healthy and "removed" that traits of his, they will have a better Small Forward lineup, not on the starting lineup but as a backup. Anyways I can't see any rumor currently about Cavs target players so I can't state my final view on Cavs roster. Let's wait until free agent signing is over.

If only Derrick Rose maintained it's shape, that numbers will be more impressive. He is still young but injuries will really minimized anyone's ability even you are a superstar. I miss his Prime days and actually I just watched a while ago some of the NBA highlights including his spectacular plays during his prime days. You guys can find lots of it on Youtube.

For three teams you mentioned, only Lakers did some meeting with him. He doesn't do meetings yet to Cavaliers and Bulls.

BREAKING NEWS:

Kyrie Irving Requesting Trade From Cleveland Cavaliers

I verified first the story and I found it legit. To the link I provided, Im just disagree to the last part "Is this the end of LeBron James’ era?" LOL. Cavaliers with Kyrie when Lebron is not yet returning to The Land never entered the playoffs for 3 season and his first playoff experience just started when Big 3 of Cavaliers was formed.

Just amazed that even he already experienced championship, still he will give up his max contract in Cleveland worth lots of $$$$$$ in 2019.

Apparently Kyrie wants to be a star in a team in which he can't do as Lebron James currently hold that title. He demanded for a trade not to be a contender but to be a face of a franchise. He also chose 4 teams he preferred to be traded to which are the Timberwolves, Spurs, Heat, and Knicks. Now I don't know where he wants to land or what the opposing team can offer in exchange for Irving. Also From what I remembered the Jimmy Butler trade and Paul George trade didn't have much in return on their original team.

I also read it on espn. If Kyrie will be traded the chance of Lebron getting a ring becomes much lesser. He wanted to give up his max contract. Is it really he wanted to become the face of the franchise or he seems that he can't get a ring on Cavs anymore nor an MVP title.

There are four teams, where Uncle drew wanted to be traded.

1. Spurs
2. Twolves
3. Heat
4. Knicks

I hope that he lands to SPURS, even though hes playing style will be change because of Pop's style. I feel that He could contribute a lot to SPURS. Uncle Drew, Kawhi and LA would be the next big three of the league.

What do you guys think about LA Clippers and the Chris Paul trade to Houston Rockets, in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a protected first-round pick next year and cash considerations. Clippers have also signed the Serbian Milos Teodosic. NBA Franchises have been trying to sign him for ages but he wanted to keep playing in the euro league/Europe. He is comparable to Steven Nash for the Euro League and holds the most assists there. He has loads of similarities with Nash and could probably be the starting PG for Clippers. In other news, Kyrie Irving is looking for move. Do you guys think he should join the Clippers?

He's already part of the clippers. Milos did sign for clippers last July 10. I think someone already posted this last week in the same thread. But still this is still a good thing for Clippers in exchange for Paul's departure.

Yeah,  Miloš signed for Clippers back then. I was the one who posted that
Yes, many NBA teams were watching him for while. But, his dream was to win Euroleague with CSKA Moscow and he finally made it in 2016. Last year he didn' t join NBA because he wanted to defend Euroleague title.  Unfortunately, he failed to do that. Still, he decided to finaly join NBA this summer. Many teams have been chasing him, but at the end he chose Clippers. I think he is 100% ready for NBA. I can't wait to see him in action!
