    So, can we make him a restricted free agent after this year, similar to Daniels? I assume so.

    Whatever money they had left to Omri Casspi :eek::eek:

    Would have rather spent it on any of these upper-list guys:

    Interesting contract. I wish it was longer, but oh well.

    How did BT beat you to the post?

    And, if there's any of the MLE left, use it on Oden. As bail money.

    But what are his eating habits? Is he willing to eat with the team?

    One small step closer to a championship:

    ? / Beverley
    Harden / Daniels
    Ariza / Papanikolaou
    ? / Papanikolaou
    Howard / ?

    Yeah, I'm worried of seeing another Parsons situation. Although given how late he was picked and the fact that he'll have limited minutes makes it unlikely he gets a massive deal.

    So we still have the BAE yes?

    This really isn't the signing a lot of us were looking for. But with that kind of $$$ he's making I'm sure Morey is banking on him taking over the backup wing. He never really had standout stats in Europe which has me kind of worried.

    trade fodder for matching purposes. Essentially an expiring contract come the deadline.

    I guess the saturday we are looking for is much closer to the trade deadline.
