Also represents Elton Brand, Evan Turner, G. Monroe, A. Rivers, Sullinger, Jeff GreenRT @ZJ_THE_ROCK Any other big names Falk an agent for?

No help there, unless Brand clears amnesty waivers and comes here for vet min. But that's not a big help really. Have Turner demand a trade to Portland quick.

I dunno where to throw this, so here.

I dont understand why we wouldnt bid at least that. We better get in on Scola.

 

[MARIS61]

Looks like we're trying to avoid any short-term improvements which might keep us from being in the lottery for the next few years.

You mean like Hickson?

 

[MARIS61]

Anyone ever heard of that saying? Human Capital?

It's PC for slaves.

 

[MARIS61]

Keeping Hickson is an exercise in treading water. As a 10-15 MPG bench player he'll neither hurt nor help us.

"I'm a great believer in good will,'' Falk said. "I have a very long memory, and I will remember how Neil and the Blazers handled this and invite them to all our playoff games next spring.''

fixed.

 

[Sinobas]

Hey, this guy is still available as a backup PG. Just putting it out there....

Fletcher Mackel ‏@FletcherMackel
RT “@basketballtalk: Hornets will match Eric Gordon’s offer sheet on Saturday.>>>>>>

He's going to be the saddest $58m player in the world. He got a lesson in RESTRICTED free-agency. Sound familiar?

That's one helluva glut of 4s. If Scola could play at the five it might be worth it ... but he can't.

I thought for some reason he played some center against Portland in the playoffs when Yao missed some games. He seemed to do pretty well. He is bigger than Kurt Thomas. Speaking of which what are our options with Kurt?

The new coach can make him an assistant?

 

[Blazinaway]

CJ Watson can be had on waivers for 3.2 mil one yr, otherwise Nets will sign him once he clears, any interest?

 

[Blazinaway]

Also looks like Felton to NYC and Lin will go to HOU

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Lin/Donatas

I really like this duo.

Donatas is lucky to have McHale to develop him.

What Portland center would he have guarded? Joel? ... Joel uncovered by anybody is still pretty much guarded.

'Melo chiming in on Lin's OS...Really???

Carmelo on Jeremy Lin: "It's up to the organization to say that they want to match that ridiculous contract" #MeloHasDolansEar

 

[Sedatedfork]

'Melo chiming in on Lin's OS...Really???

Wow... pretty unusual for labor to call another labor's contract ridiculous.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Carmelo is butthurt because he got all of the blame for ruining their season when he came back from injury. He probably hates Lin's guts for not getting him 30 shots a game.

 

[BrianFromWA]

"Let's be quite frank..."

One of the defining moments of Lin's young career came Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, when he hit the game-winning three-point shot with half a second left. What if such a situation arises again with Anthony on the floor? Well, the veteran player admitted, he might have a little selfishness in him after all.

"Of course I want to take the last shot," Anthony said. "I mean, let's be quite frank: I've been doing it for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them."

 

[Mediocre Man]

'Melo chiming in on Lin's OS...Really???

I wonder if Melo knows that Lin helps them win more than he does?

 

[Pinwheel1]

What Portland center would he have guarded? Joel? ... Joel uncovered by anybody is still pretty much guarded.

How many "true" centers are there in the league that teams actually post up on a regular basis? Not a lot. Having said that I would rather hold on to Jeffries if it is an option.

Wouldn't mind taking a shot at Brandon Rush at SF if we let Batum walk

So...
Thomas/Brooks/Jimmer
Evans/Thornton
Finding one onr two guys who actually like to pass the ball on the team might be a good idea.
