I thought I would start a thread about the free agency. There have been some trades and signings so far. Steve Blake is going back to Portland. Dallas is trying to get Chandler Parsons from Houston. They signed him to a max offer which Houston has to match by tommorow or let Dallas have him. Nowitzki and Parsons would make a great combo of forwards.

Pau Gasol has just signed with the Chicago Bulls. Chicago now is about equal to Minnesota. They will have around 6 players to root for. Three of them should be starters and this is on a playoff team. If Rose can't get healthy, they might even play Jimmer at the point guard which would make them even more fun to watch. Don't forget they drafted McDermott.

The Suns are one of many teams trying to land Kevin Love but Minnesota isn't budging. In time he will probably go somewhere or Minnesota will risk getting nothing in return for him.

Marcin Gortat resigned with the Washinton Wizards to a long term deal.

Dirk Nowitzki also resigned with the Mavs so he will end his career where he started. Tremendous loyalty to the city of Dallas.

Also, Gordon Hayward signed a max offer sheet with Charlotte, which the Jazz have matched. Glad to see some of our guys get their dues and sign some decent contracts.

Right now Chicago has the following on their roster:

Mike Dunleavy
Kirk Hinrich
Jimmer Fredette
Pau Gasol
Doug McDermott
Lou Amundson
Cameron Bairstow
They are also trying to sign Nikola Mirotic from Montenegro

This team looks like they can already challenge Minnesota for being the most white friendly. Whoever the owner is I like him.

Minnesota looks like they are going to lose Kevin Love. That will be too bad; they were starting to build the most white friendly team in a LONG time. It doesn't look like Rubio and Pekovic are going anywhere soon.

Looks like Chandler Parsons is now officially a Maverick. This is good news. It will give Dirk a white wingman next year.

The Bulls have signed Hinrich and Mirotic, so now they have 5 whites who are officially on the roster. All of them will either be starters or rotation players getting solid minutes. I'm not sure about Jimmer's status. Is he under contract for next season or trying to make the team? In any event, Chicago has become one of the teams to root for, along with Dallas, Minnesota, and San Antonio.

Parsons and Dirk at forward great combo. Happy for Hayward and McRoberts as well.

So it turns out that dirk rejected a 4/105 million dollar offer from both the rockets and the lakers and chose to sign a 3/25 million dollar deal with the Mavericks instead . That really pissed me off. Why are Northern Europeans such suckers ? You've got every black player taking their teams for all their worth and then dirk here gives up 80 million dollars for his jewish owner. And he didn't do it because he wanted to win, going to Houston would have given him a much better chance to win. He did it out of pure loyalty to the Mavericks.

More Good Moves by The Bulls

Chicago just keeps getting better, i.e. more white firendly:

"The Chicago Bulls made two trades Monday to clear salary-cap space, setting the stage for the addition of free-agent center Pau Gasol.
The Bulls sent forward Anthony Randolph, two second-round draft picks and cash considerations to Orlando for the rights to Milovan Rakovic. They also traded forward Greg Smith to Dallas for the rights to Tadija Dragicevic."

"The rights to Rakovic, who has played his entire career overseas, were originally acquired from Dallas in 2007. Orlando intends to waive Randolph."

"The 6-9 Dragicevic was selected by Utah with the 53rd overall pick in the 2008 draft. He was traded to Dallas in a four-team deal in 2012 and has never appeared in an NBA game. The pair of moves helps make room for Gasol, who announced over the weekend he planned to join the Bulls. The 7-0 Gasol is a four-time All-Star and averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds in 60 games last season with Los Angeles."

Evidently both of them are Serbian. Dragicevic is 28 years old, 6-9, 222. Rakovic is 29, 6-10, 280. Not sure which one is the better player or what the chances are that either one will actually end up in a Chicago uniform.

The concensus I seem to be seeing among sports writers and DWFs is that Gasol will start as well as either McDermott or Mirotic. We all know about McDermott. I don't know how good of a player Mirotic actually is.

Dirk's made over 200 million in his career, not including endorsements. You want him to act like a savage and demand every last dollar that he can never spend.

Mike Miller just turned down money as well to sign with his "friend" LeBron James in Cleveland. He wants the chance to win.

Mike Miller has also always come off as a huge wigger.

He wouldn't be acting like a savage . He was offered that money by two other teams and he could have just left the Mavericks . He stayed out of misguided loyalty to his jewish owner. He gives up 80 million to stay on a team that has no chance of winning another championship . How does that make any sense ? I bet Cuban and his buddies had themselves a good laugh over the German goy. And there's always something you can do with millions of dollars; give it away to charity , leave it for your grand kids, etc. But knowing dirk he'd probably give all that money to poor kids in Africa. He's already proven himself to be either an extreme cultural Marxist or a complete idiot by marrying a dark skin negress. Here's a guy a who could have had any woman he wanted and he chooses to destroy his gene pool and his legacy instead. I bet in his twisted mind he thinks mating with a negress is going to give his "son" the best chance at becoming a good athlete

So much Dirk bashing. How about this: Chandler Parsons got the money Dirk left on the table, so it stayed in White hands. Also, everything Dirk earns during his marriage is marital property to be shared with his negress. Therefore, everyone on this board should be happy with his decision to take less.

He could have given the money to help feed the homeless Afrikaners in the squatter camps in South Africa. God knows they need it.

Dirk's marriage to his negress is all the more disappointing when you look at the photos of the German soccer team with their white wives and white children. To think of the athletic prodigies that Dirk could have produced with a strong Germanic woman.

The max Dirk can get is 97 million.

Nowitzki had max contract offers from the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers of $97 million over four years but was reportedly never interested in any offers outside Dallas. Instead, the 12-time All-Star voluntarily took a 65 percent pay cut, leaving over $72 million on the table.

Lakers denied giving him the max.

A Lakers official disputed ESPN report that indicated the team tried to entice Nowitkzki to leave Dallas for max-level money. The report said that Nowitzki refused to enter negotiations with the Houston Rockets or Lakers. But a Lakers source familiar with the situation said the team would have never offered a max-level offer to Nowitzki considering they planned to set that money aside both to pursue LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony

From what I've heard about Mirotic, he has the potential to be another Gasol type. He is only 23 so they can move him into the transition very slowly. I'm glad Gasol is there to help mentor him. If they only had Rubio they would have 3 guys from the Spanish Nat'l Team. :popcorn:

The rumor mill is going crazy right now about Kevin Love. Chicago is trying everything they can to get him to go there. Can you imagine a Bulls Team with Kevin Love, Gasol, Hinrich and McDermott among a few others? Keeping my fingers crossed as they would become one of my favorite teams from day one. This would also be a team with a legitimate chance at a title assuming Derrick Rose comes back healthy. It sounds like he is finally ready to play a full season. He is a great point guard when he plays. If they get Love, I will predict the Bulls make the NBA Finals. Yes I said it. Only if they get Love. I still think Chicago is a playoff team regardless and I already will watch them as they are fair to all players. Let's go Bulls.
