    How much does Dallas have? I could see a desperate Cuban throwing a big offer at him.

    So realistically, Dallas is the biggest competition for him, but what does that team look like after they clear enough space to sign him?

    If they pursue Howard, I bet they trade for Rubio and sign a vert shooting guard like Courtney Lee.

    Rubio/Lee/Random SF/Dirk/Howard

    Not awful. But the longer Cuban keeps building around an aging Dirk, the worse the rebuild is going to get for the Mavs.

    Lakers still think they are the showtime Lakers and players will fall all over themselves trying to play for them. While they do have a very good history they need to stop living in the past and realize they need to start a true rebuild and stop hoping for a quick fix.

    Canzano was so busy talking to Obama, the pope and the Queen of England I'm surprised he had time to take the GM's call.

    Don't forget about Elvis, little Timmy with the broken leg, and the Lochness Monster.

    Fwiw, CJ is currently speaking at Ed Davis' camp in Virginia. Dame and Terry are at his camp in Beaverton.

    Trying to see if we can piece together where they'll be headed tmrw for their FA pitch

    Howard was just on Terry's show. Seemed like a solid guy looking to be involved in the offense of any team that signs him. When asked about Hawks and Celtics having meetings, he didn't confirm what teams he's talking to.
