The great young talent in this league is locked up already (Rose, Westbrook, Durant, Love, Aldridge). Draft, Draft, Draft. Eventually, it'll sink in.
Signing Jameer means we are in "win now"mode. We are trying to win as many games as we can next season. We're not interested in developing young players as much as we are tyring to plug in mid-level vets who can help us win the 10th seed of the playoffs... Oh wait... there is no 10th seed. LOL.

give me a break you guys never change

We ~know~ that? How do we know it?
It's awfully tough to prove a negative. Was part of it loyalty? Probably. Desperation? How was it desperation?
How about we wait until we're done, and closer to training camp, before we declare the offseason a success or a failure?

Don't do it, Mr. Devos. Don't do any deal with the Nets. Any other team is fine, preferrably the Hawks. I like Teague and Horford.

What cap holds would those be? This all we got on the roster. No more. No less. I guess you could add a few more million for the 2013 draft pick, but until we actually draft some one, we won't know how much that is worth.

No - we "just" know that. Don't confuse him with facts.....

Patience please.
Was Rome built in 1 day? no. Was the Mayans civilization built in 1 day? No.
a good portion of people in here lack patience. Im fine with Henny taking his time. i rather have him take his time and do it right then take 5 mins and get it wrong and repeat.

The market for teams willing to rent Dwight will grow smaller, not larger at the dealine. It is as good as it is gonna get right now. The less games they have to rent him, the less interested they are in having him.
