Yep... and idk why, but I always keep thinking Indiana or Memphis might play ball with us.. who knows

If they are back at, you have to think that the Lakers are now offering Bynum. They couldn't offer the same players, knowing damn well the owners would kill it again.

it's a shame that signing Nene doesn't fully disqualify the Nets from the Dwight race next summer. we need them to sign a couple more guys for it to make a big enough difference. right now all they need to do is amnesty Outlaw and they're back at it.

Still solid, not all-star anymore... he's kind of living off of reputation now... he's slowed down, his defense got worse... and he's getting more injured... but he can still hit a big shot, and he can still put up good numbers... but his body isn't holding up i think, it happens

I like the TPE for Turiaf and since he's played for the Warriors, you gotta figure the thought has crossed Otis' mind.

Or, they are signing Nene as trade bait for Howard.

Taller than Jameer. If he came with Ellis or Iggy, I wouldn't mind.

I like NeNe, but not at his age, and whatever contract they are signing him for

I think at this point with all that has happened since yesterday... Orlando should just stick their middle fingers at NJ and walk away from their deals
