Probably saw the Nets' offer.

Even Dennis Scott was making fun of the Nets.

He would probably need new representation as well. I could see it happening though.

If he got a new agent, I would almost expect them to suggest he stay here, rebuild his rep, and resign for big bucks.

The punchline there would be Fegan would get exactly zero since he's not on his current deal, and would miss out on his next deal. Justice would be served

Jarrod sucks and is only an insider to the extent that someone in Dwight's posse uses him to perpetuate a message that is clearly not reflective of the reality of the situation in which Dwight finds himself.

Jarrod doesn't know what's going on. How could he? He knows what Dwight wants--or more accurately, what Dwight's cronies say he wants--but he's not an insider. He's a blogger with a homie in Dwight's coattail brigade.

Don't wake up in a roadside ditch. Get rid of cable, and upgrade to DirecTV.

Just the same old crap being rehashed and passed off as new rumors. Like the Rockets, Lakers, and Hawks being "back in the mix"...when the reality is, they've been in the same position the entire time.

At 5 p.m., Magic inclined to take "best deal," aren't entertaining idea of playing hardball to keep Dwight longer to enhance another trade

He said that the Brooklyn deal would most likely go through but if not Dwight would be a reasonable man (lol ..wtf?) and would open up his mind.
Settling for teams like Dallas or Atlanta or even Orlando.

So that means, "last call" to whoever is still trying to get a deal to offer I guess.

Hawks moved to replace JJ with Lou quickly. Good move for both parties, he's returning to his home state

Schmitz knows nothing. Just tweeting something to try to protray the fact that he's really been out of the loop throughout this entire process.
