For the MIN, i wouldn't mind Dampier at all.
we could do worse....
Trade TP, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal for Al Horford and Kirk Heinrich.
Hawks get a top 10 PG to go along w/ Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, a clutch 3 pt pg/sg hybrid and a run and gun PF who's undersized but is a perfect change of pace type PF behind Josh Smith.
Spurs get a PG w/ some defensive skills who can pass and hit the 3 and a PF who can learn footwork from TD for the next 3 years (provided TD becomes a coach after next year). What this ALSO does, is allows more slash scoring opportunities for RJ.
Al Horford is fool's gold. He's not the mistake that you've made with Blair, but, he's close.
You'd be a fool to cast off Neal. He's a winner. And what's more, he knows it.
Fool's gold who scores 15 a game, gets 10 boards a game and hit FTs at 77%? Previous 2 time all star fool's gold. I'll take that gold.
Also, Neal was in there simply to sweeten the pot. And trust me, another 3 Pt specialist shooting guard will be available next year in the draft. There a dime a dozen.
Horford plays frightened.
Neal ain't.
The Clippers are close to signing veteran free agent forward/center Reggie Evans to a one-year deal for about $1.3 million![]()
Good for the Clippers, Given their depth behind Griffin and Jordan had been Brian Cook, Trey Thompkins and Ryan Gomes.
it's so appropriate
Tyrone, don't be dumb. Neal should not be traded unless he mason's all over the court this season
...at which point he has zero trade value.
How did Horford even come up in this thread?
Attempting to look like you know what you are talking about when you say like this isn't fooling anyone. Stop talking about basketball if you don't ing watch it.
True. I've never been a fan of the buy low sell high mentality when it comes to players so i guess we're rolling with Neal for a bit
Depends on the value, but the Spurs won't get equivalent value for Neal. He allowed the Spurs to part with George Hill, which is huge.
I thought Dallas was supposed to sign Sean Williams today. I haven't seen it go through. Honestly, I thought he was our best shot at picking up a capable, affordable big body. Anybody know if the Dallas deal has snagged, or if it's just formality at this point?
Plugging random names into the trade machine? Basketball madlibs? A terrorist cell trading information via coded messages on ST? I can't think of any other ways for something like this to happen.
How about if we trade Spanoulis' rights to Boston, in exchange for a draft pick and Len Bias? (Now I'll just sit back and wait for Homeland Security.)
The Mavericks are expected to sign big man Sean Williams on Monday.
He's been in Israel after failing to stay out of trouble, or catch on in the NBA, but what is memorable about him is his ability to block shots. We doubt he puts a very big dent in the Mavericks rotation if he makes the team, but he's worth keeping track of in case he's got his act together. Dec 19 - 3:24 PM

Heh... I never said he was known to be a character guy. But hey, neither is Josh Howard. He would mean a lot more to us than to the Mavs, and he would have a much better shot at getting minutes - especially to help carry the regular season.
He's big. And inexpensive. And he can make some noise in the middle on D. We need all those things pretty damn badly. I'd like to think that the reason the Mavs didn't close the deal on Mon. or Tuesday is because we are still in the mix.
I was hoping we could maybe take a look at Solomon Jones or Yi to be honest..
Who was last year's draft dime a dozen 3 pt specialist?
He would be a fine end of the bench player but I guess he will go back in Italy where he played during the lockout.
When asked if his contract would be in the range of $7 milion per season, Dalembert said it would depend on whether the contract is for one or two years. Dalembert had been courted by Houston. But he's not sure why that fell apart. "It's frustrating," Dalembert said of the Rockets dropping out. FOXSports Florida
In a press conference, Gustavo Ayon confirmed that he is leaving Baloncesto Fuenlabrada and will sign a contract in NBA with New Orleans Hornets. The buyout of the player is $1.5M. New Orleans Hornets will pay $525.000 while the Mexican big man will pay the difference by his own. Sportando
Kris Humphries isn’t getting a divorce from the Nets just yet. League sources confirmed Humphries is expected to re-sign with the Nets today. He is expected to receive a one-year deal for roughly $7 million, as The Post’s Peter Vecsey reported in yesterday’s editions, and could be in uniform as soon as for tonight’s preseason game at the Garden against the Knicks.
