Source tells Y! that while Chauncey Billups 1-year deal with Clippers is agreed upon, Jamal Crawford's is in the final stages of completion.

There's still a chance that Crawford could be in Orlando!

Then why would we sign Nelson to a three year deal? We should have either let him go or offered a nice contract for one year.

maybe because he has a vision of what players at what positions he wants to sign next year. Otherwise I would question this move.

Toronto will send a future first-round pick that source says "is conditional with high upside" for Houston. "Guaranteed lottery pick."

Wow

Right. No one else wants the best center in the world.

People need to calm down. Patience can pay off, and probably will here.

They let CLee go to.

Maybe a Dwight, Meer, Duhon, JRich deal is in the works for Houston.

Exactly.

Jameer already had a nice one year contract.

Well at least we can scrap the idea that we can add 2 max contracts (without Dwight) next season thanks to the new Jameer contract. Woo hooo!!! FML.

Well if we trade Duhon, J-Rich, Turk, and Big Baby, then we can sign a bunch of max contracts!

You obviously didn't see my break down of our cap space for 2013.

No, I didn't. I just went back and saw it now. We really need to trade Turk, Duhon, and J-Rich.

I was not comparing Jameer to Nash in any way other than that Nash who is deemed a HOF'er was at 7-8 assists for the majority of his career until he was the same age as Jameer. Then his stats jumped dramatically to well over 10 a game. Showing that he is not old at 30 despite what people are saying about the three year deal and him being on the decline.

Jameer is a very good pick and roll player who has the speed and handle to drive off the pick, the shot to hit a jumper, and the only thing he lacks is the height to get a pass over the defense in tight spots.

I blame SVG for Nelson's mediocre assist numbers because he runs so many plays through Hedo and relies heavily on the elbow set which takes the ball out of Jameer's hands often.

Nobody wants Jameer. He was sitting in FA and nobody even gave him a call except us. Like Otis, Hennigan overbid himself. SMH.
