Things will heat up either tonight or tomorrow morning. All the posturing is close to over and it's time for teams to make their final pitch/decisions.
The Josh Smith situation is holding up a few clubs. If Atlanta does trade him (likely), their choice will dictate some other decisions. The Nets are still hoping that their offer of Hump and Brooks is enough to get Smith. The Bucks are supposedly in the lead with their offer. If the deal is made with Milwaukee, the Nets and Cats have some decisions to make.
I really don't want Bargs from Toronto. As has been said before, Mullens is doing most everything Bargs does, and in flashes better. I'd rather find a way to secure him with a reasonable contract than take on Andrea. If we do deal Gordon for Humphries that's OK too.
While it won't happen, I think my favorite deal would be to get Al Jefferson here. If we're gonna pay somebody some bucks I think he'd be worth the investment (not a max deal but some serious cash). Jefferson would solidify our frontcourt, and paired at various times with Biz, or Mullens, or even Humphries if we made that deal happen, we'd have a productive lineup. Combined with our top 3 pick this summer (SG), we could be competitive most nights.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
