as is Andray Blatche, Jeff Adrien, Shelden Williams and Randolph Morris (whose Beijing team just won the CBA Championship today). Morris was born in Houston but played HS and AAU ball in Atlanta. He was on the same AAU team as Dwight and Josh and is the same age 29.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

you don't get it
he wants the player option for next year as well
that mean guaranteed contract
first you have to waive dorsey
he has one year left on his contract
then you sign mcgee another one with one year next year
it's not just few hundred thousand dollar
it is 3-4 million
they must few good about howard returning next week


They don't have to waive Dorsey they can waive Pablo Prigioni (guaranteed for only 300k next year) or McDaniels (RFA). You would lose the right to match any offers for KJ but they wouldn't match any big offers for him anyway and should focus on Brewer anyway.

Howard isn't going to come back 100% right away and it would be stupid of them to give him too much minutes
I don't care if McGee wants a player option. Most likely he would use it anyway to try and sign another long term deal.

wow waive prigioni
we traded shved and two 2nd round pick for him
i supposed each 2nd round pick cost about a million that is expensive
mcdaniels we also gave up canaan and a 2nd round pick
i wonder which more cost more

Shved was not going to be re-signed anyway. More than likely Prigioni will be waived this summer as well as they are not going to pay him $1.7m
Both trades were a mistake in retrospect. How do you figure each 2nd round pick is worth $1m?

Let's not over react every time a player goes down.
Even with healthy Dwight and TJ in the line up, the team still has a long way to go esp. this season.
Let's at least make the game respectable by making simple executions properly even if we lose a game or two without Dwight and TJ in the middle. That right there builds character.
Not much drop off Dorsey over D-Mo in the middle.
In a way, I like D-Mo as 3 for offense and 3 or 4 for defense spot.
J. Smith just has to pick up the slack for a while until TJ shows up :)
