    I'm
    Yes I did.

    Barnes, Gibson, Cousins in a Chicago club. Same table. Now I don't know how much they were chatting with Barnes. I wasn't there. Friend of mine works there.

    Barnes has been sliding by on reputation for awhile now. I wouldn't want to give him any minutes at Dekker's expense

    Apparantly CAVS are favorites to claim D.Williams off waivers so with that said I doubt the money would allow them to go for both players.

    Matt Barnes would seem like a clear candidate for the job if he wasn't such an ******* to our star player. Going from the lottery-bound Kings to the 3rd seed in the West while getting rotation minutes would have been a blessing for him.

    Barnes also likes being close to his family Cali. Locations matter for some of these players who know they won't stay on past next year. Or they go on a shitty team to ball out and gain a bigger contract.

    They are going to be offering peanuts to players but it will get them.

    Can we sign Sedale Threatt to a 10-day contract?

    Harden is a 6'5 point guard so that evens it up.

    "We have the most money among contenders" but money will matter none when they sign for peanuts (& are giving up money to get bought out)

    I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere on the forum, but when do buyout candidates become available? Immediately? Or is there some kind of "moratorium period"?

    They have to be bought out by March 1, I believe.

    If I am not mistaken, with a buyout as soon as the contract and amount are agreed upon between the team and the player and signed, he immediately becomes a free agent. As opposed to a waiver which takes 2 days.
