    Of course I could be wrong but it was worth a shot and makes about as much sense as anything else posted.

    Oh, and Jet Li = The One....double "The One" = 11

    This was verified as correct by the leaker I believe.

    Man, Wolves are not trading Rubio and Pelicans are not trading Holiday. Both of those teams are so happy with those guys.

    What is Minnesota playing for with Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon with no PF and Kevin Martin on the bench?

    I think you need to adjust it a bit. Those two guys (Holiday and Rubio) seem to be out of place here. There must be another 11 and another senator.

    So how exactly are we going to be able to get this done before Sunday afternoon? Or is it already over and we have no shot at signing anyone and matching Parsons.

    Let's just say Daryl Morey's gonna be one no-sleep mamma-jamma for the next couple days.

    All we are waiting on is for the NOP to clear some cap space so they can take on Asik without getting anything back. They are in the process of waving Austin Rivers from what I understand. As soon as that is done I expect for the Asik deal to go through.

    Wow, has Rivers sucked so desperately for them? You'd think they'd find someone to take him for at least a 2nd rounder.

    The clippers and the Pelicans should do a 3 way deal where Reggie Bullock goes to the 76'ers, Rivers goes to the Clippers and a future clippers second goes to the Pelicans.

    I'd thought they would use Gee and his salary to trade for Kevin Love.

    What's weird is that if they trade Gee to New Orleans and New Orleans is trying to SHED salary to make the Asik trade work...

    What does it mean?

    There's a much larger trade happening. Anderson or Gordon are probably apart of it.
