NBA Offer sheets can be match starting today.

Starting today, NBA teams can make trades official and also match offer sheets given to their players, they have three days (until the 14th) to match it or let their formers players leave to a new team.  Here's a list of all the offers sheets that have been made since the start of the free agency period.



Houston Rockets
Omer Asik agreed to a 3 year, $25 million contract.
Jeremy Lin agreed to a 4 year, $29 million contract.

Minnesota Timberwolves
Nicolas Batum agreed to a a 4 year, $45 million contract.

Phoenix Suns
Eric Gordon agreed to a 4 year, $58 million contract.

Portland TrailBlazers
Roy Hibbert agreed to a 4 year, $58 million contract. 

Toronto Raptors
Landry Fields agreed to a 3 year, $20 million contract.

I expect all of these offer sheets to be match by the teams, except New York, i don't think they are willing to sign Landry Fields to 20 million dollars, signing Lin is a priority and they also spent a lot on getting Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby.  Eric Gordon and Nicolas Batum have expressed unhappiness with New Orleans and Portland respectively, but there's nothing they can do at this point.

Clippers sign Jamal Crawford



The Los Angeles Clippers were looking to sign a scoring guard after trading away Mo Williams to the Utah Jazz and probably losing Nick Young in free agency. The Clippers got what they were after by signing Jamal Crawford to a 4 year, 25 million contract.  The deal is 4 years long and it's questionable, Jamal is 32 years old and last season he had the worse shooting percentage of his career.

Brandon Roy wants to make a comeback.

Brandon Roy and his friend Will Conroy were on twitter on Friday, and they confirmed the rumors.  Roy is going to attempt to play in the NBA again after retiring last season, at age 27, due to cartilage deterioration. They even posted a picture of them working out:



Roy had a stellar (but short) career before his knees gave up on him. He was named the NBA 2007 Rookie of the year, he was the first Portland TrailBlazer to be named to an NBA All 2nd team since Clyde Drexler in the 91-92 season.  Roy averaged 19 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds during his five NBA seasons.

I don't think this is the best move for Brandon, the Portland TrailBlazers medical staff told him to retire, they said it was too risky for him to keep playing and he might end up not walking, although the Blazers medical staff isn't exactly the most trusted staff.  I wish him all the best and hope he doesn't end up regretting his decision.
