(1/2) Local NBA FA buzz: Orono HS alum Jon Leuer has the Suns, Lakers, + NYK, among teams interested. Good under-the-radar FA, IMO.

With no bench, no margin for error, and the clipper org has been a **** show since this big three and their insane former owner all got together there. I mean, in order to do this, they would have to renounce the rights to their late first round pick, think about that. What is that contract slotted at, 1.5M? It's nuts.

Its the same path the Heat took with James, Bosh , Wade. Fill the roster with ring chasing vets.

ya and look at how that turned out? it blew up in their faces. two championships. it's a completely untenable option.

I'm too lazy to comb through the threads. Has anyone seen anything on QOs for Early or Galloway with NY? Or Dellavedova with CLE? I expect all three to get one, but haven't seen anything official yet.

I take it this post is missing green font.

The timing of this hitting at the same time as that Undefeated article by Spears seems remarkably coincidental to me.

Interest in 33 year old Ioannis Bourousis

The Washington Wizards seem very interested in acquiring him for next season but also New Orleans Pelicans and Spurs may make a run at the Greek big man.

ya, I guess having the best basketball player in the world had nothing to do with those two championships...And one can easily say that Miami team was a disappointment with only two championships.

NM. Galloway got one, Dellavedova got one, Early did not.

Down to just Diaw, Livingston, Tucker and Jack to be kept or waived before all is settled before the Moratorium starts. Waivers have to be in by 5 PM EST, so we should know soon, I expect Diaw, Livingston and Tucker to be kept and Jack to be waived.

Did Ilya and Morrow get guaranteed yet, or have we not heard? I know Ilya's guarantee date is 7/1, and I think Morrow is 7/15?

The Nets requested waivers on Jack just now

local beat guy saying maybe Portland still in the mix---and I don't see why Dallas would be and Portland wouldn't.

I'm confused as to what part of the Heat plan you think is a bad idea. The Heat made four straight finals (unheard of) and won two of them.

What should they have done instead? Given up on Bosh and signed three MLE-level players? Not signed LeBron?

Uh yeah, the Heat were a rousing success by any remotely reasonable measure.
