Well, not really, but regardless, it's been a long time. I'm ready for something to go down, dammit!

I'm really pissed at Dwight these days. He gives a list of three teams that have injury prone/little to no assets. Ugh.

He got those injections earlier, and whenever I watch him play I'm just waiting for him to hit the deck with an injury at any time.

San Francisco Chronicle...

The Warriors think they could get Joe Johnson but feel he's a more expensive and possibly inferior player to Monta Ellis. They'd like Josh Smith, but they haven't found the Hawks willing to part with the forward. .... The Warriors talk to the Hornets quite a bit, but they think Chris Kaman's play may have driven up the asking price.

If they really have have interest in Kaman, we have to get in on this! Ellis/Ariza/Bendrins to Orlando. Fill out the rest.

Lopez left the arena on crutches, some saying it's worse than Avery says. Way worse.

This has been the trade from Day 1. We have to facilitate Kaman to GSW and take back Biedrins. If anything happens, that's the 1 trade that gets us Ellis.

wow, weren't guys on the hornets board saying they'd take a second rounder or something negligible like that for kaman? wth there's gotta be a way to get in on that, demps gotta be empathetic to our sitch.

I hope we get some new rumors soon because I'm tire of hearing nothing. It's depressing.

I think they are saying that based off a report last week that said the Hornets took Kaman off the market a few weeks ago because his price was much lower than they expected. They wanted to showcase him a bit and move him. The article said the Hornets would be lucky to get a 2nd round pick for him now.

That really sucks for Lopez. For as much as I rag on him, it sucks to see anyone get injured.

In other news the Warriors were offered Kobe Bryant for Monta Ellis, but they feel he has gotten to old and think Ellis will reach Bryant's level shortly.
