MCW/Vasquez
Middleton/mayo
Giannis/inglis
Parker/west
Monroe/Henson

That looks damn good

You also called Ty Lawson to the Bucks, neither of which will happen.

Does he have anything left in the tank? I mean, if he's really cheap for like one, maybe two years I would be ok with it for some size and a veteran presence.

At like 15-25 minutes a game I think he certainly has it left in the tank. Solid offensive option off the bench.

@WojYahooNBA: Free agent center Robin Lopez discussing deal with Knicks that would earn him in range of $12M-$13M per season, league sources tell Yahoo.

tbh he would be a decent pick and pop warm body guy. Im all for bringing in guy with playoff testing to help the young guys.

Dumb question, what's Lebron waiting on? I know it's day 2, but what's he waiting for?

I'd be okay with scola cheap on a short contract.

ESPN sources say that the Sacramento Kings have offered Wes Matthews a three-year deal in the $45 million range

LOL, kings are going to be terrible.

Yeah, I mean I'm game for that. Obviously we'd need to shift around parts first before that could happen, but he'd be a small move I'd be ok with. Should be easier to get than the suggestion of West at the very, very least.

If he comes back with no ill-effects that's really not that bad. Better then Monta or Rondo.

Personally just don't see it happening. Would take either Monta or Rondo than Matthews coming off that injury.

EDIT: not to mention what they gave up for that cap space.

Do we know what Marco Belinelli is asking for in free agency? That wouldn't solve our size issue and it'd create more of a logjam at guard than there already is, but I can't deny that I want some more shooting off the bench.

Bullet, dodged.

Kenyon Martin, the No. 1 pick of the 2000 NBA draft, told Yahoo Sports he has retired from playing professional basketball.

Martin scored 9,325 points, grabbed 5,159 rebounds and blocked 864 shots in 757 NBA games over 15 seasons. The athletic 6-foot-9 forward made his lone NBA All-Star appearance in 2004, played in the NBA Finals for the New Jersey Nets in 2002 and '03 and was known for catching lob passes from former teammate Jason Kidd. Martin also played for the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks from 2000-15.

"It's been a great 15 years," Martin, 37, told Yahoo Sports. "Thanks to all the fans that supported me over the years. But a time does come when you have to walk away, and the time is now for me. I'm ready for the next chapter of my life. I would like to thank the Nets, Nuggets, Clippers, Knicks and Bucks for the opportunity to play the game that I love.

"It's been real. Thanks for the love."

Martin was the consensus 2000 college basketball player of the year at the University of Cincinnati. He also played briefly for the China Xinjiang Flying Tigers during the NBA lockout in 2012. His basketball career ended when the Bucks opted not to sign him for the remainder of the season after he completed two 10-day contracts and was waived on Feb. 19.

Martin said he is interested in coaching on the college or NBA level. He also plans to help his 14-year-old son, Kenyon Jr., who is already 6-foot-3½ entering his freshman year at Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, Calif., develop into a basketball star.

"I have family time and business ahead," Martin said. "And if something coaching comes up [basketball-wise], I will consider it. I'm also getting Kenyon, Jr., ready to be the No. 1 pick in a couple of years."

Forgot who wrote it, but someone wrote the other day about his re invented 3 point shooting in the later half of his career....

I wouldn't mind bringing back K-Mart as a bench Coach to make sure they fire stays lit under Henson's ass.

$3-5 million per over multiple years for Delly? Methinks his agent had some verbal outside offers lined up to shove under the Cavs' nose.

The guy drafts well, his decisions in FA are a little iffy and his trades are a mixed bag. Is he the best GM in the league? No. But at least he isn't a complete bucket of ass.

Intentional irony by saying the phrase "bucket of ass" in the same breath as arguing that Hammonds drafts well?

Fo sho.

My understanding is that the Bucks front office loves delly. But I was told this prior to the playoffs... Guessing his performance boosted him out of any value play from the Bucks.
