- Wade inks 2yr/$34 mil deal with Miami, deal has a player option next year.

- Wade inks 2yr/$34 mil deal with Miami, deal has a player option next year.

By far the worst contract of the off season.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I really like what Washington has done.

They lost Ariza, replaced him with Pierce.

They lost Booker, replaced him with Humphries.

I don't know if they've gotten better, but they certainly haven't gotten worse.

If Otto Porter puts it together, they could be a threat in the east.

Playoffs next year in the East

Pacers

Bulls

Cavs

Wizards

Hawks (If Horford stays healthy)

Heat

Raptors

Hornets/Knicks/Nets

Of course if get Lance everything changes. Btw, how awesome would a Heat vs Cavs playoff series be??

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

- Haslem officially back to Miami

- Baron Davis insists he's making a comeback

- Washington says that they didn't have a deal in place with Pierce before letting Ariza go.

- GM's starting to realize that agent Dan Fegan is getting more money for his clients by representing multiple players on one team... Houston cites this as a reason for not matching Parson's who shares agency with Dwight Howard.

You have the right teams but either Toronto/Brooklyn/New York will be in the top four because of the way the playoff seedings are (division leaders).

I went with

1. Indiana (if Stephenson returns, if not swap with Chicago if Rose stays healthy) (division winner)

2. Chicago (if Rose stays healthy, if not swap with Cleveland)

3. Toronto (division winner)

4. Washington (division winner)

5. Cleveland

6. Miami

7. Atlanta

8. Charlotte

9. Brooklyn

10 Detroit

11. New York

12. Boston

13. Orlando

14. Milwaukee

15. Philadelphia

My biggest surprise this year is Detroit. I think they will put together a decent year with SVG, but fall short because 12 of their games will come against Indiana, Chicago, and Cleveland.

- Dirk contract finalized and he took a huge pay cut, 3yrs/$25mil

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

[Omega Atrocity]

A max contract for Dirk would have paid him $22.2 million this season. Instead he took $8.3 million from Dallas. That is ridiculous loyalty to his organization. He took a $14 million pay cut. Wow.

He'll probably get that money back with a FO job when he's done.

You're probably right, Cuban is a very forward thinking guy and him and Dirk have been together a long time. But he could have easily demanded more money from the Mavs, and would've gotten it, because they still aren't over the salary cap.
