    Add Joe Johnson and Deron Williams and you have collectively the most overpaid starting 5 in the league...

    You can have that with their owner...

    I'm not sold that they will be worth it though... Wallace is the only solid defender in that group... And there is only one ball to score with... I think Crooklyn will be a disappointment this year when compared to their hype... I think they'll be in the Playoffs... But not a top 4 seed... At least with their present roster...

      I'd rather Dwight go to LaLaLand than go to Brooklyn. If there had to be another SuperTeam, I'd rather it be in the Western Conference than the Eastern Conference.

      But if it's all about Dwight getting his way, then I'd rather send him to Houston so that he can languish there for 1/2 a season.
      Because I can't stand la just getting whoever they want whenever they want. Not to mention Dwight will probably whine and end up winning a ring

        I get that Lopez was hurt most of last year. But other than Joe Johnson, did they really add anything else other than Dwight rumors?

        I just can't get that hyped about a team coming off a 22 win season, with only one significant addition.

          Everyone thought we got a steal with Augustin at 3.5mil for 1 year and I know we needed a true PG but I'm kind of surprised that Mayo is going to make about the same with a 2nd a year option. Mayo is cold blooded. Mavs got a steal imo.

            it's one addition on paper. in reality, Brook wasn't really there, D-Will was injured a lot too, G-Wallace =deadline trade.
            Teletovic is new, could be their 6th guy.

            Basically, the 22 win team was mostly Humphries and Brooks with part-time D-Will. This team could be MUCH better.

              I agree.....but if it came down to LeDecision or the Knicks winning another Championship and seeing Kobe/Nash/Dwight winning one...I'd settle with seeing LaLaLand winning it all. All are necessary evils....but at least Nash gets one.

                I'm a firm believer in others not fixing/tampering with someone elses post, so instead of "could" they WILL be much much better.

                    I think it was more of a fact that Mayo waited too long and simply ran out of options. The Pacers and other teams were interested in him, just not at 8 mil a yr. If he would have backed off and accepted between 5 and 6 he's most likely a Pacer I would think.

                    It'll be interesting to see how his season goes as the starter on the Mavs.

                    DC+Mayo= the backcourt Larry legend always wanted for the pacers lol

                      If you're bored read this Jarrett Jack interview. Guy's definitely not afraid to speak his mind.

                          The Suns signed Gordon to a four-year, $58 million offer sheet that includes the opportunity for him to opt out of the contract after the third season.

                                Vet minimum anybody? He might be a good player coach for Mahimni and Plumlee. I really haven't wanted him in the past couple years, but the way the team is set up...it's an interesting thought now. And Larry isn't here now. Could the stars be align for a Oneal return?

                                “I’m not stupid, I don’t think I can go for 20 every night anymore, but I do believe I can go for 20 on any given night. It’s just about finding a position whether it’s coming off the bench or starting, whether its 15 minutes or 30 minutes, whatever the coaches ask you to do it’s just about having the opportunity to be yourself. I just want to get to the level that I know I’m physically right. HoopsWorld

                                “That’s the only goal,” O’Neal said. “Winning a championship is the only goal. There’s no guarantee in this league, everything has to go right to win. I know that personally. It’s not about money because if I sign, it will be for the minimum. I’ve made a ton of money in this league. The NBA has been very good to me and my family so it’s not about that. It’s about being healthy and being strong. And again this is by far the best I’ve felt in five years. Between the treatment in Germany and my coaches here, strength and conditioning coaches and basketball coaches, it’s been a really good relationship between the three. I’m looking forward to it we’ll see what happens.” HoopsWorld
                                Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
