    To clarify, the "inconceivable" part is the salary that Lee gets if only Johnson to HOU. Has to be more players in it to pay Lee market rate

    Don't bother replying to that troll. He's just out on the internetz having the time of his life riling people up because he's a loser who doesn't have anything better to do.

    JJ is not strong enough to play the 5 spot. He is a tweener 3/4.

    Not necessarily if it puts strain on our cap. I think that's what people are alluding to here.

    If it turns out we got picks back in return or something, it's easier to stomach.

    But this may be an indication that the Howard/Bynum talks aren't going anywhere and that we may be settling in with what we have.

    I mean, we just got through giving up Scola for absolutely nothing but capspace, so picking up another dude that appears to be just filler seems like a departure from the plan.

    it's official. Morey has completely buried this team 6 feet underground. I predict 15th or 16th seed and hopefully 1st on the lottery list. It's been a while.

    The Magic added two PFs this draft. They're roster is unbalanced like the Rockets, too many PFs.

    They're high on their first rounder Nicholson who has impressed.

    Would be nice if they added Avery Bradley to the mix. I'd imagine he would be the headline though instead of tirple J.

    I had this thought as well. People were talking about mid level exception money with Lee, and this is like the veteran minimum.

    Boston is over the cap, so money wise the salaries have to be within 25% of each other.

    So literally, this doesn't add up.

    I hope we get Fab Melo (I doubt it) but we can have an all rookie starting five. PG White, SG Lamb, SF Jones, PF DMo, C Melo. Our new Signings coming of the bench Asik, and Lin.
