    What are the thoughts about Sergio Lull coming over now since we've got a contender with Dwight? Would seem to be a great opportunity for him to break into the NBA no?

    (didn't want to post a thread about that and get killed)

    It's remarkable to me how in an era of deals worth 10s of millions of dollars that no-one bothered to clear the schedule of the signing with Jrue's agent! His week's holiday will hold up not just White's trade and Dwight's signing but also a slew of half a dozen signing planned after Dwight, not to mention our other free agency pursuits this Summer.

    This seems unprofessional and has me worried that there is something more under the surface than a 1 or 2 week honeymoon.

    Can the NBA fine Jrue for not reporting on time?

    NOLA has been saying the press conference introducing Holliday is today...first it was at 6:30, then I saw a tweet that said they are pushing it back till 7:30.


    I dont know whats up with all this, if it doesnt get done in time they cant hold the presser...it will have to be pushed back.

    and the info about the presser is in the thread here on the first page.
