    We do not need him anymore.

    We just need to use our little MLE on JOneal and flip Asik for a good four, and this team will get Miami sweating.

    He doesn't need the Bucks and the Bucks don't need him. Oh well, he's about to fall off the map. I much prefer that as opposed to seeing him light it up for a contender.

    Weird, as he admitted last year he was not having fun playing ball there.

    I'll miss Delfino. He was such a laid back cat, and I'll never forget that dunk on KD! Someone should really post that.

    Trade Lin, bring over Llull and the Greek wing shooting 53% from the international line

    Glad he's not going to a contender in the West. Thanks for the memories, Carlos.

    So, according to Jonathan Feigen's article on the Casspi signing (and the Garcia one):

    http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2013/07/rockets-sign-omri-casspi-bring-back-francisco-garcia/

    So, guess the Rockets must have seen this coming-- Delfino getting too much money to turn down even to play for a good team. Not sure how much confidence they have in Casspi, though. He hasn't really proven much in his first few years and his role seem to be going downhill. Maybe they'll add more at the "Delfino successor" department.
