    I'd be wary of trading for a Spur - especially a Spur with bad knees.

    He is only 1 million expiring. Not a big risk if you ask me.

    Paul "Allen just wants Blair because we passed him up in the draft and he wants to try to undue his mistake. Your right though it is low risk.

    Berger said we're trying to get a first rounder for JJ. And Ben from BEdge says that Speights' and JO's availability is making the market for JJ soft.

    JJ for Shumpert would make me seriously happy. I don't like Crawford.

    Oh I agree, but there is nothing wrong with this deal if it happens. It's a low risk and low reward; but his contract is really cheap.

    Which makes you wonder how much money he could really get this summer, with Milsap and Jefferson out there.

    I don't really like this trade, but I could see how it could benefit both teams:

    Matthews/Hickson for Lamb/Perkins (and pick?)

    I think he will get right above MLE but nothing crazy. Teams probably realize that his real impact isn't as great as his stats suggest, and they might finally try to get fiscally responsible.

    Not crazy about it either, but I'm not hanging up. I don't know why, but Lamb really intrigues me. Watching videos (taken with a giant salt lick) he looks very smooth. If he can develop and translate to the NBA I think he has a chance at being the best wing in the 2012 draft. Of course, I didn't think Barnes would be this good.

    He tweeted his stats? WTF. I didn't want him before, and still don't want a guy like that on my team. I'm sure our guys care about their stats too, but they don't tweet them to the public to brag.

    Just checked. They went 3-11 in December. 7-9 in Jan, and are 4-4 in Feb. That coincides with Wall returning, I know.

    If he blocks a trade I hope they bench his ass and ruin his value as a FA this off season

    I'm sure agents would love that.
