    I thought I heard Bima say if Chicago does not match the sheet for Asik, that Lee can possibly be a restricted free agent again with rights to the Rockets?

    I've thought that for a while. It depends on when and if the Dwight deal gets done, though. Obviously Courtney can't wait around forever... but there's a reason, imo, that he hasn't gone too far in negotiations with any one team, even though he's highly sought after. He's on good terms with Dwight and would be an ideal starting SG on a Dwight-led team. If we can somehow get a D12 deal done over the next few days... I think Lee stays.

    Mavs are back to not mattering. Jet is now out of the west. Rockets now have a chance to be the 8th seed finally. Cuban collected 90s greats.lol Too late the hero.

    One team less to worry about. Pacers seem to be out of it, too (see my post above).

    morey needs to trade scola so that we have the caproom to get Lee back under restricted status. That, or we need the Lin/Asik offers to be matched quickly, rather than drag out. Do i have that right CH?

    Poopsworld, though.

    Wolves beat writer earlier:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>For those asking, Wolves options now when Blazers match: Courtney Lee, O.J. Mayo, Iguodala</p>&mdash; Jerry Zgoda(@JerryZgoda) <a href="https://twitter.com/JerryZgoda/status/223470694602784768" data-datetime="2012-07-12T17:35:40+00:00">Juli 12, 2012</a></blockquote>

    Majo will go the Phoenix, so common sense is it will come down to Lee and Iggy. I actually think it will be Iggy, not Lee that will end up in Minnesota.

    Wolves wont need to give HOU anything. They can just sign Lee if Batum matched.

    I'd do a sign and trade for Webster's expiring and a 2nd rounder.

    They have space but after giving Lee the $5 million per he will want it will be gone.

    Will Wolves want to be completely out of cap space just for signing Lee? I doubt it.

    If Lin hasn't signed the offer sheet officially then can't Morey just renounce it and reclaim Lee's bird rights and match?
