    hmm, so much for his rights being included in a trade.

    You can trade his salary instead.

    Why would we do that? Seems counter-productive

    No, I'm not willing to give up Filler, Filler has too much potential.

    Besides, to make that trade work Filler must make somewhere around 12-17M and be able to be traded almost straight-across for CP3. I say keep that guy. Good thing we can't trade Filler without a GM

    Just wanted to put that out there preemptively for those that are bound to ask why his butt is glued to the bench in February with 50 DNPs

    One reason to sign him would be to make up salary in a trade. His rights alone don't count, but once signed he could make up the difference in a trade (say with Prz for Deng - which, of course, will not be happening now that LeBron has committed to the Clippers (sources tell me).)

    Interestingly, coverage of this event was buried by ESPN.

    Too important for ESPN. This will be aired on ABC.

    I heard there is an ESPN 1 hour program called "The Decision: Take the money and run, or re-enter the draft".

    It's gonna bump LeBron because it's too fucked to have an hour long show saying FUCK YOU to Cleveland fans.

    I'm still unclear on Williams' role with this club. Will he replace Rudy as the backup two? Will he be a defensive specialist? Will we ask him to play some point?

    For those who know his game, please give me some input.

    From what I read - he is a longer, lighter Jerryd Bayless.
