So much for being committed to the Nets huh? After just one season in Brooklyn, Paul Pierce is jumping ship and signed a 2 year/$11 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards. Things didn’t quite work out as some expected after Pierce and Kevin Garnett joined the team after a trade from the Celtics last year. The way it looks at the moment, next year will be even tougher in Brooklyn for the Nets to really do much. So can you blame Pierce for leaving? Hit the jump.
NBA: Report, Chris Bosh Staying In Miami For 5 Years/$118 Million!
Lebron is leaving, but to the surprise of many, Chris Bosh is staying. The Heat are finalizing a new contract with Bosh that will pay him $118 million dollars over the next five years. Pretty much if he remains to the end of the deal he will retire as a member of the Heat. The Rockets thought they had Bosh in their grasp after Lebron announced he was leaving Miami and offered Bosh the max they could which was four years/$88 million dollars. Bosh decided to take more money and stay in Miami with Dwyane Wade for now. There are rumors Wade may be looking elsewhere at the moment now also. As long as Bosh and Wade remain Miami will at least be a playoff team in the east, but not a legit contender. Houston currently looks like a big loser, especially if they do not match Chandler Parson’s deal with the Mavs. That would mean they lost a very important player and could not close the deal on Bosh or Carmelo.
NBA: Report, With Lebron Leaving Miami, Bulls Making Run At Dwyane Wade
The purge is on in Miami and everyone is coming after the heat’s best players. We all know by now that Lebron deided to return to where it all started in Cleveland and rejoin the Cavs. Chris Bosh is on the verge of accepting an offer to join the Houston Rockets, especially since they have now traded Jeremy Lin and have the cap space. Dwyane Wade seems to be the man left out in all of this. It was been widely assumed that he was staying in Miami no matter what happened because that is his team. But things are different today now and the Chicago Bulls are reporting seeing what interest he may have in joining them. Hit the jump.
NBA: Bad Sign For Knicks Fans? Carmelo Has Been Ignoring Texts From Phil Jackson!
Phil Jackson might have a “good feeling” about Carmelo returning to the Knicks but he wouldn’t be able to tell you that for sure because he hasn’t heard from Melo himself! In reports that came out yesterday, Phil is saying he feels confident that he made a connection with Melo and thinks they are on track to re-sign him but the same reports say Phil has been texting him and getting no reply for close to a week. That may be the reason the rumors of Melo giving strong consideration again to joining the Bulls after it seemed Chicago missed their chance. Hit the jump.
