Michael Finley is the man. You want to sign him? You have to go to him.
It was reported last night that Fin and his agent have invited the teams he's interested in to come to Chicago for a sitdown with Mike so that they can give him their recruiting pitch face-to-face. Pat Riley and Stan Van Gundy supposedly were in the Chi yesterday, the Suns will visit today and the Spurs roll in on Thursday.
Just sit back and enjoy it Mike.
Dale Davis agreed to terms with the Pistons yesterday afternoon. Are you surprised at all that he's going to Detroit? He was made to play Pistons basketball and will more than adequately fill in for the departing Elden Campbell. His agent told the Detroit Free Press that the Pistons were tired of waiting on Finley's decision and chose to go with the sure thing in Davis instead.
Detroit is now pretty much out of any kind of race for Finley.
Aaron McKie agreed to terms with the Lakers. How perfect is he for that team? He's a big guard, he can play the point, he can defend and he can still stick stand still jumpers.
As always, when one guys signs, it sets off some kind of chain reaction with all the guys waiting in line. McKie went to the Lakers, so Derek Anderson signed with the Rockets.
With both of those guys off the board, the Nets, who last week thought they were a lock to get McKie, now look to guys like Wesley Person.
By the way, it could be an interesting training camp as D.A., Bob Sura and David Wesley battle it out for starting spots.
That's good for the the Rockets though. That team is supremely talented, but they don't really seem to have any kind of edge to them.
We saw a story yesterday about how Emeka Okafor has been working out with Hakeem Olajuwon this summer. Good for Emeka.
Why don't more young big men seek out guys like Hakeem, David Robinson and Kareem?
The T-Wolves re-signed Eddie Griffin.
Did you see Udonis Haslem's take on Shaq's re-signing with Miami for five more years? "I guess that's five more years of wide-open shots for me,'' said Udonis.
