Houston Rockets: Not signing Samuel Dalembert to the lucrative contract which he deserves. Sincerely, Samuel Dalembert
I like the Clippers and Knick moves. Centers are just expensive. Getting CP3 is always a win, even if you are giving up size. CP3 is irreplacable, while the other guys are easier replace. Sacramento make a good move by going after Hayes. They need some veteran leadership, especially on the defensive side. It would have to be a tie for worst between Detroit and Philadelphia. It's hard to say which is worse. Stucky's contract is large, but it comes off the books really quick.
I forgot about Chuck's heart problem If he is unable to play, then the Kings move would be the worst.
Don't really understand how anybody could say re-signing Thornton was a bad move for Sacramento after the way he played there last year.
I think you missed the worst one, LA Lakers letting L Odom going for a bag of peanuts. I think this will kill them and their limited depth already. Also, makes one of their biggest contenders even stronger.
The entire NBA fiasco with LA, NOH, and Houston trade, what was that about? Though, the Lamar Odom deal takes the cake, as with the Lakers could've gotten younger and even quality players for Odom. Having Odom gave them so many advantages over other teams, as with they had a versatile big man off the bench who could also handle ball, and could hit clutch shots. Even at times, the Lakers could go even bigger against teams, while having another scoring options. OT: I really hate the 5 year rule on contracts, why does the NBA need that? Couldn't teams just do that anyway, while it shouldn't be universal rule.
You have to admire Prince's loyalty. You dont see that too often. Its not like they have a chance to really compete. Dude is a homebody.
The Stuckey signing made no sense considering they drafted Brandon Knight. I'm shocked Tayshaun Prince still wants to play there.
Milwaukee trading for Stephen Jackson is up there too. He is holding out because he wants a contract extension. Great trade for a player that wants a long term deal but you don't need him long term.
