    They're trading for the rights to LeBron James cousin.

    Biggie, like I predicted with Vonleh when we got him, won't get a second NBA contract. If he plays minutes, we're in trouble

    The logical conclusion to a hardish cap with the max salaries set too high:
    10% of players getting paid way too much
    20% of players getting paid the right amount
    70% of players getting royally screwed.

    I was so upset at the Ed Davis news I went and did the dishes by hand for half an hour. Thanks NO! Now my kitchen is clean when I should be obsessively following twitter!

    I wouldn't mind getting him as a cheaper Ed replacement - but not as a more expensive one

    yes. Not sure there are any UFAs worth giving that to. Maybe Tyreke?

    Could be right. But I think Biggie brings a level of skill that Vonleh or Ed just don't have and gives us a different look. Along with some inside and out interchangeability w/Zach, he also offers possible 5 out spacing and another guy that can lead a break.

    And as much as you guys are bringing up Dame's love for Ed, are we all forgetting how much Dame praised Caleb in training camp?

    I'm ready for more of this...
