2009 FA All-stars/ All-star calibers where will they go?

June 27th, 2009 · 6 Comments

Anthony E. M. asked:


Here is my guess….

2009:

Steve Nash – NEW YORK KNICKS – Has the luxury to opt out of his contract as stated by his contract w. Phoenix before it officially expires in 2010. Seeing all the negative changes done by the franchise I see it as foolish if he doesn’t leave. The question remains will he leave this year off season or next?

Mike Bibby – Stays in the A.T.L has a good thing going for him.
Raymond Felton – Stays in Charlotte will have a good thing going for him,

Allen Iverson – CHARLOTTE BOBCATS – Reunited w/ Coach Brown he will have the ability to play as himself rather than conforming to a lost cause system he would never fit under.

Ben Gordon – NEW ORLEANS HORNETS – I see them throwing $ his way they need a more consistent scorer on the wing/perimeter.

Zydrunas Ilguaskas – I can see him staying finishing his career off in Cleveland.
Jason Kidd – Stays he started his career there and welcomed a trade to end it there.

Rasheed Wallace – PORTLAND BLAZERS – I think he will be brought back because they need a vet who has seen his fair share of playoff big games to improve their young team.

Jamal Crawford – Stays they made an investment in him
Ron Artest – Stays Houston’s progress over the last year shows
Kobe Bryant – Stays
Lamar Odom – Stays
Jermaine O’Neal – Stays
Ramon Sessions – Stays if they know whats good for them
David Lee – Stays if we know whats good for us
Al Harrington – Stays

Nate Robinson – PORTLAND BLAZERS – I see him being reunited w/ college teammate Brandon Roy to help out Blake.

Hedo Turkoglu – Stays

Andre Miller – W/ all the trade talks and buyouts his name has welcomed I think it will be stupid on Philly’s part to lose him, he stays.

Drew Gooden – Stays and starts next season
Shawn Marion – Stays
Paul Millsap – Stays and made into the PF of the future

Carlos Boozer – DETROIT PISTONS – C.Booz is young at 27 just needs to not get injured. Pistons are in desperate need of a low-post threat.

Mehmet Okur – Stays
Ron D look at my other question I think he will stay cause no one wants that contract and he still has the versatility to prove doubters wrong if he can somehow stay healthy.
K I will hopefully they pan out.
Why would Hedo go back to the Kings if they did not believe in him enough to resign him or Gerald Wallace?
god AI and Brown rectified their issues, the youth of Portland is their main problem they need vet leadership, and the rest are all validated.

    well being a laker fan..id take andre miller as the pg since fish is up in age…bigger body, more assists..but i really couldnt tell ya where these players will go.. it seems it’s all about the money and contract and also who the star is on the team after that certain player

    save this list so we can see how close/off you were/are come the start of the season.

    Some sources says that Hedo Turkoglu will opt put. Possible destination is Sacramento.

    nash to knicks… never happening.
    ai to bobcats… he doesnt even like larry brown. they got into so many fights in philly.
    rasheed… why would portland want to bring back the jailblazers??? they are trying to stay young, not get old

    are you seriously pulling these out of you ***?

    Gordon is not going to New Orleans. They have no money, if anything thell be trying to cut budget this offseason (remember the attempted Chandler deal). Also I doubt Portland has the cap space to get Nate and Sheed, and I SERIOUSLY doubt they would even want sheed in the first place.
