Even if he's not moved Dekker is already starting to take more and more minutes at the 3 which is his natural position. I mean, yeah Dekker is versatile enough to play small ball 4 like Ariza, but he's still a 3. Doesn't mean you couldn't still mix things up when matchups call for it though.

I hope morey gives a nice hard look at Tyson Chandler + a pick. He's on the hook for two more season at $13m, but he's still extremely capable and is an excellent veteran presence. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hxabjmo
I still think 50% Dmo is enough to dominate all our bigs on the offensive end once he shakes the rust off.
Speaking of Atlanta's implosion, I cannot state emphatically enough how much pleasure I'm getting from seeing Dwight wreck yet another team. We actually gave this selfish phony the benefit of the doubt, and it cost us one full season of misery and set our growth back three years. Atlanta burning down in real life is more fun than it was in Gone With the Wind.
Danilo Gallinari would be deadly in this system. He, Gordon, and Harden on the same floor almost seems unfair.
Not negotiating in good faith. Negotiating to control the players options. Talking trade with the teams interested in signing him to an offer sheet threatening to match to get teams to talk trade while the summer ticks away. Then telling player to bring them an offer sheet when they're blocking it on the other end. Telling teams interested in the RFA that they (the players team) are willing to give him 3/40 but they'll talk trade of the other team wants to pay him more or they might match or if the other team wants to sign him cheaper than 3/40 that they'll (the original team) will withhold any offers if the other team will do a sign and trade. Then telling player they'll only pay him a much lower figure unless he brings them acc offer sheet. Talking talking talking, just keeping things stirred up with no intention of completing anything until trends go another direction and the players demand is diminished. There's 50 ways to leave your lover hanging in restricted free agency until you really want to deal with the player now at a severe disadvantage.
