    So Orlando gave Dooling a cheap offer to push him away and then grabbed the cheap Anthony Johnson

    Essentially, they couldnt afford Dooling, so they threw up a hail mary for him, but moved quickly once he balked....Anthiny Johnson is an OK signing for a team that had to have some PG depth and had little money left....this isnt going to make or break the team though....

    Good cheap signing. Hopefully we still trade for Crittenton though. He played with Dwight in high school so they have chemistry, not to mention he has tons of potential.
