RT @reallisa: Just got off phone with Clippers' Neil Olshey. Clips bringing in Tracy McGrady next week to work out for them
Adrian Wojnarowski WojYahooNBA
Just hung up the phone with agent Mark Bartelstein, who's irate over Hornets empty suit Hugh Weber reneging on a contract for Luther Head.
WojYahooNBA
After firing Jeff Bower as GM, Weber is trying the slimy trick of 'failing' a healthy player on a physical to back out of a deal Bower made.
WojYahooNBA
Weber is one more clown act running a team who doesn't know if the ball is stuffed or blown. With Shinn, he undermined Bower at every turn.
Typical hornets bush-league move
Hornets front office is a joke. Stupid move.
Lakers look close to bringing back Brown...probably not a bad consolation prize to losing Bell.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...gentbuzz071410With Raja Bell choosing to sign with the Utah Jazz, guard Shannon Brown has moved closer to re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday night.
Lakers general manager “Mitch [Kupchak] and I have been talking and we’re getting there on something,” said Brown’s agent, Mark Bartelstein.
Brown, 24, played 82 games for the Lakers, and averaged a career-high 8.1 points and 20 minutes last season.
– Adrian Wojnarowski, 12:39 a.m. ET, July 15
Would the Lakers be limited to the remaining amount of their MLE ($1.7M) to retain Brown, figuring since they do not have Bird (or even Early Bird) Rights? You've got to figure that Brown could make more than that on the market, no?
According to John Ireland out here in LA, the market was not as big for Brown as Brown thought it would be...
No team would even be willing to part with the LLE for Brown? I am honestly shocked.
Lakers do have Early Bird Rights (two consecutive seasons without being waived) on Brown.
Thanks. After reading more on it, I have a better idea how the Early Bird Rights work. That makes more sense now for Brown and his agent to be in the process of negotiations with the Lakers.
According to Matt barnes he makes his decision on where to play next year tommorow...
Posted this in the RJ thread but it looks like Barnes is not coming to San Antonio...

EDIT: Heat and Celtics are favorites but he's also considering other teams.

Matt Barnes and his agent are close to finalizing a free-agent deal that could send Barnes to one of the Orlando Magic’s toughest rivals.
Barnes posted the following message to his Twitter account minutes ago: “2maro is the day. I will let my fans know where I’m going to sign. Its gonna SURPRISE you!!!! Keep it locked..”
I exchanged text messages with Barnes a few moments ago. He confirmed that he wrote the Twitter message, but he politely declined to comment on his specific plans.
My colleague Brian Schmitz wrote earlier today that Barnes has drawn interest from the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics, among other teams.
In the meantime, Barnes and his agent, Aaron Goodwin, are strongly denying an OrlandoMagic.com report that mentioned Barnes had turned down an offer from the Magic that would have paid Barnes roughly $2.6 million in 2010-11.
In fact, Barnes and Goodwin continue to say that the Magic have not offered Barnes a contract this offseason.

It's gonna surprise us? Could he possibly be a Spur? Hallelujah if so.
Read the first line again.
My money is on the Heat.
Bro, we're practically Team Edward/Team Jacob with Orlando
The Denver Nuggets have re-signed G Anthony Carter and signed free-agent F/C Shelden Williams, team Vice President of Basketball Operations Mark Warkentien announced today.
Carter, 35, spent the past four seasons with the Nuggets, averaging 5.6 points and 4.5 assists in 204 regular-season games. In his 11-year NBA career with Miami, San Antonio, Minnesota and Denver, he has averaged 5.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 566 games.

They still have money left over? Whats he signing for the minimum?
What time is the sportscenter special?
With Barnes it's not so much as a 1 hour special as it is a multi-week, survivor style production. One by one teams refuse to offer Barnes a contract until the last one standing agrees to take him on a 1-year deal for league minimum.
