I stayed up late came back and was 30 pages behind on this thread, lol. I hope Henny has said to the Nets, we don't want your garbage. Nets are busy signing an entire roster and we're left with a bunch of crap that got us nowhere last year. We're going to be so bad.

In other news, I thought Orton was playing for us in summer league, roster is out and he's not on it. Guess he's moved on.

I'd be surprised if Henny locks anyone out until we have a deal. The more teams kept involved, the better chance to play one off the other to improve the deal.

Teams under the cap have the full MLE, teams over have about half ($3mil)

Saw the summer league roster and would like to have the player Magnum Rolle on the team. I can imagine Paul Porter saying his name on the loud speaker lol

Team under the luxury tax, not cap. Brooklyn has the MLE now because the Joe Johnson trade put them over the cap.

I hope the NJ trade is still crazy enough to be possible and can give us a little leverage with other teams in trade negotiations.

We should bring Montiejounas if we trade D12 to Houston.

Lopez is not going to help us no matter what we add to him. You could add to Bynum and contend. One piece at a time.


if i was asked which was the better player, i certainly would not be choosing that stripper pole of a center.

so realistically, are we gonna be able to sign our gasol, sessions and kobe after that? and if we do, are we topping miami or chicago?

And our other option? Tank and hope we get the first pick? Say we got lucky again... what are the chances he will ever match Dwight's status? And would waiting for that rookie to develop and building around him be any better than adding to Bynum? I think Bynum is the best way to go as it locks us in with a great C, one of the hardest positions to fill with talent, and then we can add another star next summer and so on. It's not like we have Turk and Duhon on our roster forever. While it's not a guarantee with Bynum, over a few years we may be able to add some very nice pieces. Plus we don't know yet what Bynum is capable as a consistent 1st or 2nd option. Could be better than you think and he's only 24 right now.

I get that it's going to be very tough with all these Eastern Conference teams being built up, but I'd prefer not to just throw in the towel for the next 10 years...
