    I wonder if Tyrus Thomas will be our starting PF, or a back up once Aldridge leaves?

    Good question. Probably go with the veteran Thomas and make TRob earn it over him?

    How ironic it would be for you to trade LMA for Tyrus at the PF position.

    It's such a HUGE step backward.

    So amnestied players basically go through waivers? Teams under the cap bid on them? Is that right? If so, then why does that article indicate the 'contenders' can scoop up players off amnesty for pennies on the dollar?

    Can someone explain how this works?

    Thanks.

    You are correct on how it works. Maybe the assumption is nobody would bid on him, so he'd be free then to sign wherever.

    So Sheridan Hoops thinks he's too crummy for bottom feeding teams but good enough for contenders. Got it. :)

    Thanks.

    Al Jefferson going to Charlotte. Didn't they just draft Cody Zeller? That franchise needs to be moved to Seattle and freed from it's ownership.

    Imagine, players abandoning the Lakers like they're on a sinking ship. It doesn't get much better than that.

    Twitter is buzzing that the Warriors are trying to trade Bogus, Jefferson and others for cap space to sign Howard outright. They would need to clear it about 30 million. Gonna be tough to pull off but makes you wonder if Dwight said something to them.
