Well, here's some wishful thinking.

Elton Brand -> Spurs
Michael Olowokandi -> Denver
Karl Malone -> Lakers
Andre Miller -> Seattle

Jason Kidd and Jermaine O'Neal will resign with their respective clubs.

Scottie Pippen: retirement
Karl Malone: Mavs
Jason Kidd: New Jersey
Jermaine O'Neal: San Antonio
Andre Miller: I have no prediction here. But he may be a bargain for someone.

Wishful thinking? Are you wishing for the Lakers to get Malone over Brand? Do you think Malone is a better fit for them...or a better financial fit for them???

BulletBob

Jason Kidd -> Spurs
Karl Malone -> Lakers
Scottie Pippen -> Mavericks
Jermaine O'Neal -> Pacers (Resigned)
Andre Miller -> Denver
Michael Olowokandi -> Spurs

Or at least I hope that's how it goes. I wouldn't mind seeing Pippen or Malone land in San Antonio though. Pippen doesn't really fit in but Malone would fit in great since he's willing to sign for the veteran's minimum to win a championship. Either way, if the Spurs pick up Kidd they're instantly the favorites to win it all again.

Halx

Karl Malone is a much better fit for the Lakers than Brand. Sure, Brand is a better player at this moment, but Shaq owns the middle. The Lakers need a PF who can knock down an outside shot.

After listening to his latest interview, I think JKidd is heading to the Spurs.

JoeyB

In a perfect world I would agree with you. Do you think Karl Malone will be able to quickly adjust to being the third option, rather than the first option in Utah??? He's been the primary focus for more than a decade in Salt Lake City. In LA, he's #3 (#4 if Mark Madsen is rolling....sorry).

Seriously...can the Mailman put aside his pride to run the floor in Staples??

livingitup101

Parker stays with Spurs
Kidd re-signs with Nets
Malone to Dallas
O'neal (Jermaine) to Spurs

Halx

I watched Sportscenter tonight and their analysts think that all the big name free agents will go to the team that can pay them the most. They CONSISTANTLY decided in this manner for several questions that were asked of them regarding this very topic.

I'd like to believe players like The Mailman and The Glove have made enough money in their years to be satisfied with a veteran's minimum and a shot at the title.

Malone will almost definately sign with a contender for the minimum or very near it. Payton is different though, he could still play a couple more years, so if he wanted the money he could sign a one or two year deal for a lot with a bad team, then sign with a contender his final year.

Jason Kidd - Spurs (Lakers also have cap room, and a veteran exemption left, don't rule that out)

Malone - Lakers

Jermaine O'Neal - With robinson gone, Spurs.

Pippen - Lakers maybe? No idea, maybe Dallas.

Halx

No, Lakers are way over the luxury tax.. we dont have room, but since we're over, might as well bite the bullet.

As long as the bulls get a small forward who can play defense, i'll be happy

I was under the impression after this season they weren't over the cap, or tax, whatever the hell you wanna call it. Jim Rome mentioned somthing about it a couple weeks back. Maybe I misunderstood. I know he did say they did have a vet exemption left, when talking about Kidd. I guess thats why I was under that impression.

dragon2fire

i am telling you right now jermaine oneil is staying in indiana

the pacers will pay enough they will make it happen

they need him

BigGov

O'Neal isn't taking a major pay cut if he gets the maximum from someone else.

If the Spurs go to him, he'll seriously consider.

However, it will be interesting if the Spurs lay off and don't sign anyone this year (or just sign cheaply) and wait till next year when they could sign KG.

I think Payton stays in Milwaukee, with Jordan about to purchase the team. Could be a good move on his part.
