I'm happy if Dwight would sign .. But i'd be even happier if Otis could still improve the roster today ..

Jrich can probably still get us something .. I'd still like the JRich/Beasley swap

Problem is i think we're stuck with Baby....Damn shame because he's taking away minutes from guys that should be playing more than they are....No reason why Clark shouldn't be playing more if Baby is this inconsistent....Harper should play more as well.....He's probably the closest thing we have to Rashard Lewis on this roster to be completely honest.......

Why does Q need to be moved?

SAS says he's giving up all his power, all that freedom the players fight for.. Hill saying.. no, he was free to make a decision and he did. still has leverage in the organization

Thanks Bro Montana.

trading Q would be like splitting mobley and francis, the end would be near

Nothing like that, but Q can and his Defense is needed at times. When he is focused, he is a true stopper like he did against Melo earlier this year. He may be a bufoon, but when he gets on fire, he is great and entertaining.

Plus, he is capable of starting at the drop of a hat when needed.

Yeah, as much as I disliked Q when we first got him, he's grown on me. Solid backup. Always cheering the team on. The picture he posted last night really made me want him here.

"Nets turning page, convinced DH is signing ETO. Will look to do a different deal - and no they're not moving Deron."

I dont think Q should be moved, good contract plays tough and plays with heart

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏ @WojYahooNBA
Several contenders chasing Ray Allen. Some offering a good young player, some offering 1st round pick. If Celts get both, they may move him.

How can you offer a good young player for Ray? Those salaries wouldn't even come close to matching...

Pretty much this, if we can move him for a solid back-up SF or C, I still say do it. That 1st year w/ Q was rough though, ain't so bad off the bench, but in the starting line-up he wasn't working.

Why are they still talking about Phil Jackson coaching the Knicks? Let the man retire. Last I heard he is in a knee brace and has kidney stones. What will it take for the media to come to reality that he's not going to return?

Stephen A smith is pathetic

A team under the cap doesn't have to offer a matching salary as long as they can take on Rays contract I believe.

She basically told Stephen A that at the end of the day it's not wrong for Dwight to want to be happy and choose to stay in Orlando, for himself and his fans & city... Stephen A went off some tangent about how this is like slavery because Dwight opted not to leave ... saying that Dwight is giving up his "freedom" by not leaving or opting out... what a douche...

Dwight also has the freedom to STAY if HE WANTS TO STAY (which is Jemele and Skip's point)... it's his happiness and decision... Dwight is not a puppet for your own enjoyment and agenda Stephen A... Stephen A is just mad cuz he predicted Dwight would leave or be traded, and he now looks dumb... He mad.

Yeah he is a slave alright. Making 19 million plus in a year, playing for the team/city he loves. SAS is on crack.

the dude is so angry.

Going off the wiretap- J-rich for Eric Bledsoe, would the clips want that? They would have to add Gomes to match salaries.

That's correct, but they said "several contenders". How many "contenders" are that far under the cap?....

Did not see it mentioned anywhere but Sam Young was traded to the 76ers for draft rights to someone. It is in the WT now

Yeah, sign me up for slavery if that's the case. Bring on the whips and chains (wielded by hot women, of course).
