his agent must have a deal set up for him, like BD did a few years ago.

Wonder what Chris Wallace thinks he's about to do.
Pretty sure he'll fail at whatever it is.

Chris Wallace has the foresight of bat (except without the cool sonar thing).

who knows maybe he is using sonar or some extra sense that none of us has. Heck, the guy's now outlasted Kevin Pritchard.

Amar'e officially opts out.

Jerry Colangelo has not heard from Nets.
Looks like he's going to get to weigh the Beasley/Chalmers, Lee, and Deng packages for the Bosh S&T.

Or Tony Parker?
Erick Dampier my dark horse.

D'Antoni's going to be out of a job by Jan at this rate...

man, How stupid is Richard Jefferson? Unless one of the teams that has cleared massive space loses out on all the primo players and makes a major mistake offering a big deal to Jefferson... there's no way he comes anywhere near 15.2 million.

Bill Simmons just likened it on his twitter account to walking away from an orgy with Lakers girls.

Dallas is about to move Dampier in a massive multi-team deal. I can feel it.

MUST, is the key word.

A player that aweful should NEVER turn down 15.2 million dollars without having greener grass on the next hill...

ATL maxing out JJohnson means it's unlikely they'll match any offer to Josh Childress.

* Atlanta's decision to max out Johnson means restricted free agent Josh Childress, who had been playing in Greece, stands to score big in free agency because there's no chance the Hawks will match given their expected commitment to Johnson, sources say. Though Childress left the Hawks for Greece two summer ago, his restricted free-agent status remains frozen on the NBA clock and the Hawks still have the right to match any offer sheet.

Love a Childress play here.
Some reports on the JJ max offer suggest ATL owners don't care because they won't be paying him at the end of it- sale/ownership resolution apparently finally moving along. Childress offer too low, I'll bet the match. Adding Childress to last year's team isn't bad.

I'd take JChill based off the Buke principle

My Bosh to Texas suspicions gaining steam....
Yao courting Bosh directly via twitter now.

the W's should ask Monty to put in a call to Childress as a favor...I'm sure he'd be happy to do it...

the Rockets might get busted for that, it's not 12am est yet
