I choose to believe the Rox will use Yao's DPE by 1/31. You bubble-busting party-poopers seem pretty sure they won't. While your smugness...
Yeah, Melo has that option for one year, but he can sign a longer-term contract this year that would most likely bring him a bunch more money in...
What excites me is, something is going to happen in 17 days; we don't have to wait for 6 weeks for some player movement!! I'm hoping for a...
I guess they could do it using this year's numbers, but I understand the owners want to cut the cost of salaries by one-third. They might limit...
Right. I had the idea NY would be using a TPE under this scenario. NY doesn't have the room to fit Melo's contract; their projected team salary...
The way I look at it, we have Yao (expiring), AB, Budinger / Battier (expiring), Hill, Jeffries (expiring), and the 2012 protected NY pick to...
Not only that, but they can't combine picks or players with an exception. If we got a TPE for Melo, the only way we get more would be if we were...
Hypothetically speaking, would you trade Scola and Patterson for him?
It occurs to me that maybe we should trade all our players and get 7 picks a year (both 1st- and 2nd-rounders) for 3-4 years. You have to figure...
It's Hill Derangement Syndrome.
Likewise for me. I felt he was saying that we weren't involved in the NJ / Den / Detroit talks, but we might very well be involved in other...
yeah, Morey reminds me of that snake in the Jungle Book cartoons. I have to side with DD on the Franchise Player thing. I'd say there's a 70%...
Yeah. Our leverage next season won't be anywhere near what Denver's is before the trade deadline, especially if we can't pick the team to whom...
Yes, yes., of course. Picture this, fellas: you have just suddenly become a fire fighter. They have no training program, it's all OJT. A week...
I would ask Melo questions, but I don't know that I'd believe anything he told me. He likes to play people. DM is not going to get caught with...
I think he means, "Moving without the ball." very interesting. But, he's still learning! Look at, say, Hilton Armstrong and Joey Dorsey -...
Orlando's thoughs on available big men
I would say, Iggy plus Dalembert, maybe losing AB, Scola or Hill, Budinger, a pick, an exception. I'm not saying that would be the deal, just that...
Parity is not the point. The owners want to give the players less money. They are shooting for a 1/3 reduction. The season will start after the...
PPatt = Agent 99 Hill = Maxwell Smart (at this time!)
