This has to happen!

Surprised Cleveland haven't reached out to Diop, he is the elite rim protecter they need imo

Isn't Emeka Okafor still out there? He'd be a great backup C for Cleveland. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he just ends up retiring or something.

The force may be too strong with that one, Sachmo may become a Cavs fan..

I don't think I'll forgive them after they signed Gana to a deal in summer and cut him before the 13-14 season started.

Knicks are hiring Cleamons to be an assistant. Big time triangle guy.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hired a 90-year-old Tex Winter as well.

I just really miss the Sonics and wish they got them back. Now that the Hornets are back, not having the Sonics in Seattle is the NBA's biggest travesty IMO.

BrotherDave has jumped off of the wagon.

I think he just is bummed that his list of things to complain about with the Hornets has grown short.

Yeah, I grew up a Sonics fan, but switched to the hometown team around 1997 or so.

MIL renounced Ramon Sessions today. I guess maybe that's why he hadn't signed somewhere else yet, because MIL still had his rights?

I found a Hornets / Raptors shirt from 1997 at Goodwill the other day for $2.25.

he was unrestricted. I don't think it mattered either way. He wasn't going back there. My guess is Houston picks him up on the cheap.

I wish we had Sessions back.

good to see plumlee make the olympic team, he's clearly one of the best american power fowards in today's game, wouldn't be surprised if he started making the all star team soon
