The threat of litigation hangs in the air like a sniper on a zip line. (Nothing scares rich guys like lawyers. It's true.)

Post all post-trade-fallout here.

Rox are still screwed if the delay in finalizing the deal screws them out of their ability to sign a FA center.

We'd have lost Hayes, and that's still a possibility, but if worse came to worse, the team has ... a better baseline ... with Gasol.
