"Offers come in on Monday and teams think, 'I've got until Thursday,'" Dunleavy said, "so you don't know what the real deal is until [the end].

"For instance, if you're talking about Portland, I would say that they will probably pull the trigger on that LaFrentz deal of some kind. I don't know exactly what it would be, but that one seems real that there's something that's going to be there."

So maybe people are freaking out too soon?

I wouldn't take anything the worst coach and one of the worst GM's in the NBA has to say without huge grains of salt.

Or Dunleavy has no idea, which seems to be the case. I don't think he is speaking from sources, rather he's just saying "like portland, etc etc etc".

Dunleavy doesn't know anythig except it looks from the outside KP should make a deal.

What do you mean, IMO, any time is a great time to freak out!

He is a GM, he ought to know something. He probably knows that whatever he offered KP wasn't enough.

My guess is that both are true. Mike doesn't know and people are freaking out for no good reason.

Such as, RLEC for Baron Davis? Lol!

Full circle? Isn't that supposed to bring "closure" to your emotions?

or full circle, as in circle jerk?

 

[handiman]

Wouldn't full circle be for Telfair or Ratliff?
