Better question: Who else in the front office has a son that plays?

I´m taking my talents to North Carolina. We already suck, and I would play for the minimum. So why not trying? :tooth

You mean now that Diaw's not taking up two spots at the dinner table?

Bismack dines with him and is not declining. I guess taking up Doris' fromage heavy portions could be enough.

I'm willing to fill a Sean May role. I could even do it from here! :D

Does his salary still count against the cap, though? In other words, anyone new we sign would still put us over the cap, essentially doubling their salary?

Buyouts are usually done for less and in some cases spread out over more years. 1st is true, 2nd part I am not 100%

The best of the D League:

Elijah Millsap, Dj Kennedy, Zach Andrews. How about a guy who shoots 56% on 3s (120 attempts) Antoine Agudio? For ten days not much to lose by taking a look.

I like pretty much everyone they list for the Celtics other then Mikki Moore. I think he would be a better fit on a playoff team looking for depth.

BTW the Spurs only have 13 on their roster. I would bet money Boris ends up in SA.

:( :( :lol: :lol: :oops: :oops: :evil: :evil: This is a good time to see if we have a plan to look at another player from the D-League or another player released. Twill would have been perfect to give a chance,but as usual we missed that one. If we do nothing then why did we not just sit Boris's ass on the bench until the season is over? If we do something now the[color=#80BF40]n management is not as stupid as everyone thinks they are in evaluating talent and managing the team.[/color]

I think Diaw's next logical spot is an exercise bike.

I hope some crap arse team like the Hornets pick him up off waivers before a contending team has a chance to sign him as an UFA.

I've heard rumors about the Spurs.

Good link Snide. Millsap has shown some great potential and there are also guys like Morris Almond, who are prolific scorers and still relatively young. I think Almond has held the D-Leage scoring record twice, scoring 50+ and then breaking his own record a few games later. Someone like him may be able to provide what we thought we would be getting with Reggie Williams.

If we end up trading DJ or just lose him to a contract we dont want to match in the offseason, giving Uzoh another look might make sense.
