    Tough call, but I think this move is certainly more embarrassing and ridiculous.

    As his agent notes, the statement damages Head's ability to be signed, and is 99% a flat out lie. Man up...if you changed your mind, you changed your mind.

    I pick a third and fourth option: Clippers and Timberwolves. The ultimate winner? Timberwolves.

    (((LOL))) That's the first thing I thought when I saw the title. Someone would make this analogy! The title says Head was declined for alleged physical reasons. Hey.... That could mean anything right?

    T-Wolves, by far, are the worst run franchise but those two aren't to far behind.

    And it's not even a lucrative deal! It's a two-year MINIMUM SALARY contract!!!

    Hell, the Hornets could just trade Head later in the year without taking any salary back. Some team out there would have little problem paying a guy like Luther Head the veteran's minimum.

    This episode does far more damage to the Hornets' reputation around the league than it helps them from a salary cap standpoint.

    I think they realized how much improvement Luther needs before the Hornets could pay for head
