if somehow Nelson signs with Charlotte after having said he preferred a contender then we might as well start chiseling the headstone for the rebuild right then and there.

Want no part of Turner, even for cheap. He's bound to be a career "get numbers on a tanking team" type of guy.

Evan Turner's agent should try to force his way to the Knicks on a relatively cheap contract, even if it's the minimum. Under Phil Jackson's watch, he might be able to revive his career. I've seen Phil do it with many of players like Ron Harper and Lamar Odom to name a few

I like him, but I'm not interested in his talents for 'this' team, not even as a 3rd stringer

RE: Ekpe Udoh: I wouldn't mind him for the veteran's minimum as initially a 3rd string center behind Biyombo that might can challenge him for minutes

Rumor is Lowry will sign with Raptors for 12 million. I think this increase our odds of snagging Vasquez from them if we're interested.

This is why he was not better for our team than Walker. That is way to much for Lowry and between 3 and 4 times what Kemba costs next year.

No point, unless you just want Bismack to feel better about himself.
