    Let's hope he chooses Boston.

    Kind of where I was going, too.

    The downside, I guess, is that now DM can't make the offers to Lin then (or maybe Asik, or maybe both).

    But that said, I can't figure out why he'd want to make those offers in the first place, relative to just keeping Lee on the squad.

    I have no idea what direction they are going with offers to Asik and Lin.

    Mayo to Phoenix is virtually a done deal, once the Hornets match the Gordon offer, if you believe the likes of Chad Ford.

    You'd rather he go to Minny for nothing?

    I would let go of scola before I would trade lee. Just think if Lee stays atleast howard would have a friend on the team that may help in keeping him.

    Once you play well for Adleman, you will always have a job in the NBA ...as long as Adelman has a job. :)

    The man likes HIS guys...

    I'd rather get nothing for him then get a bad contract back for him. I don't even see what the Celtics have on their roster to make a trade work salary wise.

    JaJuan Johnson and Greg Stiemsma are expiring deals worth a little over $2 million (Johnson has team option). Those would help out Dwight pack. Toss in a couple of 2nd rounders or a future 1st?

    What is Stiemsma's contract? JJ is only around $1 million. Celts are over the cap so you have to get relatively close in contracts. I imagine CLee wants something around $6-$7 million.

    Bradley, Johnson, Williams and moore are all tradable and would match up to lee's new contract.

    So PHx is going to roll out Mayo, Dragic, Gordon, Kendall Marshall, and Marcin Gortat, Jared Dudley, Markief Morris and Channing Frye?

    That might be worse than a non Howard/Bynum Rockets team and they're not even trying to tank. Talk about thin up front...

    They are? Are you sure? I don't see that they are and if they were under the cap why would they want a sign and trade?
