Free agent Sam Dalembert interested in Heat, Knicks, Rockets

[WeGetRing2012]

He will most likely make more money else where. Why would he take a pay cut to just "witness" LeChoke and Dwhistle come up empty....

He wants to win an NBA title. He's the missing piece of the Puzzle for the Heat's quest to win an NBA title next year.

He won't need to do much to make an impact there. He will make them a better team. Any improvement on last years centers will make them a better team.

It then leaves Anthony to be there energy guy off the bench which would suit him far better as well.

People easily forget that Joel Anthony is an undersized Center. Dalembert is a legit 6'11". You needs his size when the Miami Heat play against some taller teams in the playoffs.

I wonder will Miami take a look at Curry again? would add depth if he has indeed lost more weight.

Maybe. Dude isn't a scrub. All he needs to do is improve his work ethic. He also needs to play team ball.

Sacramento needs to hit the minimum salary cap and can swap out Jason Thompson.

So the Kings could offer Dalembert say 4 years, $32 million. Which is overpaying him, but they need someone at center.

Dally for the vet min, or he can go somewhere else.

This.
We all know he won't take that so he won't be a Knick.

From the sounds he will take the MLE which I expect Miami will offer him that.

I also think he will end up in Miami.

"If you look at the playoffs with Dallas, you saw what Tyson Chandler did," Dalembert said, referring to the 7-foot-1 center who helped the Mavs beat the Heat in six games for the title last June. "He was basically a key ingredient for them to win a championship. And Miami didn't have somebody like that. Somebody able to stop (foes from) getting second shots and somebody able to rebound and finish. I could fill that role and be an asset for that team."

Dalembert said he's not going to "put my eggs all in one basket" regarding the Heat. So he also named New York and Houston as teams he will consider in free agency.

"All the Haitian people I talk to say, ‘You have to come to Miami,"' Dalembert said.

These quotes suggest he has pretty much made his mind up.

Plz Dont sign his fat azz

I don't want him for the money he'd cost. If he is not given shots on the offensive end his effort on defense can be spotty. He's being vastly overrated.

[miamiandorlando]

hopefully the knicks make a run at him, i think pittman needs to get some more burn this season and hopefully we see what we can expect out of him

i think both would be great but how much cap space are we working with to sign either?

is there some sort of MLE we can use?
