So Stern killed the 2nd deal for CP3 too? It's confusing because the gen board was saying ebanks and a 1st and caracter were involved. Aren't they young talent?

Now hollinger had Bynum and Pau going out, but said it was a guess.

What's the deal?

Howard might be one of the most immature people I have ever seen. Thinking back of all the times I defended him on the Ts he gets. Well it is pretty obvious now that he deserves them.

I hope the Magic rape any team that trades for him.

So strange not to hear anything on JRich, whether it includes us or not. Last I heard was this (Dec. 5):

"It's exciting ... it's almost like I'm being recruited again," Richardson said. "It's the first time I've been a free agent. It's good to see you're still wanted."

"I've got an appointment to talk to (Orlando coach) Stan Van Gundy," Richardson said. "They're involved. I've heard Chicago (Bulls), Denver (Nuggets), New Orleans (Hornets), Minnesota (Timberwolves) and Boston (Celtics)."

Should just re-sign him, but don't over pay. And get AK47

Nelson/Du Du
J Rich/Redick/Liggins
AK47/Turk
BBD/Ryno/Harper
D12/Clark/Orton

Decision expected from Nene by the end of the day on hefty offer from Nets. Four years, $64M is the most they can offer.

Wonder if the nets know that howard will go to LA since it looks again like CP3 will end up there.

Since Fegan handles both of these players, it looks more like dwight would not go there. Where else can Fegan get that type of money for Nene? I could be wrong though.

So will we be happy when Bynum is included in this trade? Or will we still find a way for Dwight to go to LA?

Bynum wont be included, it will be Odom and Gasol.

The nets signing Nene is great for us, it would mean they can no longer sign Dwight in free agency next year and they lose all leverage. We can sit on Dwight and tell him if he doesn't want to resign then he can leave in free agency
