    4 questions.............
    1- if jj and/or continues to no report, can they waive him or buy out his contract leaving him to sign wit anyone?
    2- i know zo wants to go to a contender, but shouldnt he be grateful anyone is willing to take him on considering he's not the zo of old?
    3=if #1 is possible, you think jj would resign here or would he have too much pride?
    4- would you guys welcome these guys?
    5-can we just buyout ward to make room for someone else?

    2 - Zo is clearly being a cry baby here. Worst GM in the NBA Jason Kidd asks for the Nets to tie up about a kabillion dollars in his friends Motumbo and Mourning. Then the spectacularly well paid injury list players cry that management is not committed to winning. I used to respect Zo and Kidd both.

    5. We actually have room for someone else. There is still an open roster spot after the JJ/Boki for Wesley trade.

    I would prefer that we cut our losses with Ward. Did they actually think that he'd be here for 3 years and be productive for even one of them?

    if you were a part of a large reason why a team got to the playoffs last year, and then you finally thought you had found your place, then you get shipped off to the Hornets, would you ever want to come back?

    i would sign ZO in a heartbeat. come grind it out playoff time (we will make the playoffs)... having the depth of yao, deke and zo to rotate in at center will be a big help.

    jj... not sure.

    Sadly, I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see JJ come back, but no chance he does. Nice Julius Ceasar reference too.

    I would be all for using the last roster spot to sign Zo or bring JJ back. Or perhaps on a Keon Clark or Marcus Haislip type.

    One idea is since Cleveland is practically offering to give Dajuan Wagner away, offer them a 2nd round pick for him. Could be an interesting and rewarding experience, to get a young guy with superstar potential for so cheap. If it doesn't work out, he's a free agent at season's end.

    Having Zo is a great idea. He can help us at the PF spot with defense, reb and toughness. He'll probably can last for 2 more years. He can defend single coverage on his man.
