Picking Ekpe Udoh over Greg Monroe?!
Udoh = another Adonal Foyle who block shots and that's it.

Warren, Gawal, and Gallon all went much later than I thought they would. I thought one of those 3 would end up in NJ.
The Boston Herald is reporting that Doc Rivers will return for this season.
I like it.

I say we stomp him! Then we tattoo him! Then we hang him! And then we kill him!
I say we let him go.
I read that he said he "just couldn't leave this group of players."
Low odds, but it would be super ironic if Pierce ended up leaving him.

"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
I think this a pure money grab by Pierce. Not that I blame him, I'd do the same. I think he comes back on a 3 or 4 year deal. I mean, where is he going to go? The Clippers? Good luck. He has to be smarter than that.
As currently constituted (or rather, soon to be) this is a Top 3 team in the East.

Don't tell me Glen Sather is running the Minnesota Timberwolves.

And I thought the Knicks signing Jerome James for 5-year/$30 million was a bad signing.
Darko Milicic who averages 8.3 PPG and 5.5 RPG re-signed by the Timberwolves.
What type of kool-aid are owner Glen Taylor and GM David Kahn drinking?

That's actually better than the Jerome James' signing, if someone is stupid enough to offer him. Milicic is still only 25 years old and what he needs is playing time. When the Timberwolves started him last season, he was decent. Also, the rumor deal's fourth year is only partially guaranteed.
Gay max deal with Grizzlies.

Wow. I thought a max deal for him could happen, but this quickly?

Amazing, the NBA has a salary cap yet these teams waste tons of $ on overpaying players.
And the owners will end up locking the players out due to out of control salaries... when it's their fault for giving out these insane deals.

What's taking so long? None of these guys have signed yet?
Well, Phil Jackson is back. Get that 4th 3-peat my man!!!
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
The only way I dont see LA winning again next year is a) injuries or b) somehow Bosh, Wade and James end up on the same team. As good as my Knicks would be if we could get James/Bosh, James/JJ or James/Amare to add to Gallo, Chandler, Douglas....it still wouldnt be as good as what LA has. At least not yet.

In a messed up kind of way overpaying players is good for individual teams (eventually). It is very rare to have a FA period like this one. So you have to acquire players by trade. And the only way to get a real good player (who would more than likely have a big contract) is to trade players whose contracts match up. Especially if it is an expiring contract. Those are the best. Like when the Celtics got KG, that never would have happened if not for Theo Ratliff's stupid contract.

Pierce will re-sign with the Celtics.
And apparently they are talking to (or did talk to) David Lee. I have no clue how they would be able to swing a deal for him.

4 Years, $61 million for Pierce
So he'll make just over $15M per year? Not quite the money grab I expected nor the max deal that was rumored. He's actually taking a paycut.

He's taking a paycut for this year, but then his deal was done. He wasn't going anywhere so he just guaranteed himself an additional $40 million and finishing his career in Boston.
I think he's taking a pay cut in the sense that he may have been able to get more money from another team.
Or look at it as an extension. A 3 year, $40 M extension.

I've confirmed the Wade-Bulls meeting tonight. Source believes Wade is leaning toward joining Bulls ... Link coming
Steve Blake signs with the Lakers.
Finally we get a point who can allow Fisher to rest more in the reg season!
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
ESPN is saying Wade is going to Chicago.
How does Wade and Rose work in the back court? They're similar players.
D-Wade in the SG/SF with D-Rose in the PG.

If Wade goes to Chicago.....I think Bosh joins him there while James goes back to Cleveland.

Wade works well off the ball when given the chance...remember in 2006 when he got to work with Payton/J-Will?
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Woj is talking about BOTH Wade and Lebron going to Chicago now...
Mo' Nut: One Smoove Brotha.

That would be rather interesting...the team speed would be off the charts.
Poor Bosh if he gets left out.
