Yes, now they can. Except that they sent it to Atlanta for JJ, didn't they? Or do they still have their first rounder, and sent someone else's to Atlanta?

Nowhere near as good as a Bynum/Nicholson front court which would be VERY legit.

The Hawks also received the Rockets' lottery-protected first-round pick in 2013.

Probasketballdraft
Spoke to a member of the Cavs front office, who tells PBD that at this point teams are waiting on the Magic to give their approval. Said the ball is in their court unless a late development threatens to derail the trade.

tell your damn GM to send Bynum and Ebanks and quit dicking around.

I don't understand Cleveland's purpose in this if humphries is willing to take a one year deal as reported. Why wouldn't take humphries on a huge one year deal and we get another pick and we get to unload someone like Hedo.

I guess we should all be praying for a derailment, or we're going to be stuck with a train wreck.

Been saying this since the draft - he will be one of the steals. He has potential to shoot the 3 as well as Ryno and Rashard did, while playing with a higher energy level and can create his own shot.

Personally - I think he's an upgrade over Ryno.

Now that actual parameters in place, waiting begins. For Hennigan, is cap relief, 3 late 1sts, Lopez & 3 fringe talents enough? Had heard no

Skin · Post #1100 » by **Skin** » Mon Jul 9, 2012 8:39 pm

So nobody is taking our worst contract? Hedo's 6M even AFTER we waive him will count against our cap. That makes Duhon's $1.5M cap hit insignificant!

How stupid are the Magic? I mean, I get the clueless fans thinking that Duhon is a cap killer.. but our front office should know better!!!
