    I love it... so many rumors about us that no one knows what the hell KP is planning on doing. I have a feeling KP has mastered the art of playing the media to his advantage, and will try to get the best deal possible or just sit on the cap savings for the summer.

    I wonder how Ridnour would fit into the group. Would he play ahead of Bayless as backup PG, or just sit and be that third-string PG?

    I'd say third, but Nate had him in SEA.

    Someone mentioned earlier JC made it up.

    Did he come out and say he made it up? i don't know.

    either way he's still a dick.

    I'm loving KP's unwillingness to give up LMA,Roy,Oden,Bayless and likely Rudy. Those must be great calls.

    KP: So, here's our offer...RLEC + (blank) for your superstar

    GM: Uh. No.

    KP: Yeah, the economy sucks + I have the Bucks...er...the BUlls on the other line.

    GM: But you sent that threatening email...

    KP: can ya hold on a sec, the Nets are calling me every 2 minutes. I'll have to put ya on hold.

    RJ and Carter aren't worth much more than Raef by himself. I can't believe Portland would add in Outlaw and Sergio. I hope neither of them land here. I'd rather keep Raef than get either of those two.

    After all these rumors, I am definitely going to be disappointed if by Thursday afternoon we have not traded for at least three of these players: Butler, Wallace, Amare, Devin, Deron, CP3, and LeBron.

    uh, no on the jeff/rid package. i'd rather roll with what we have at SF than get a oft injured SF and a journeyman PG. Make a deal for a stud or don't make one at all, i hope thats the thinking at One Center.

    Ridnour is not an upgrade in any way shape or form. It sounds like ESPN and Stein fell to Canzano's joke.

    I'm more interested in getting either......A SF that can score in the paint, or get a SF that's a great perimeter scorer, which should lead to some more open looks and passes for others in the paint.

    I don't think I'd like an in-between scorer at this point.

    RJeff isn't the ideal candidate to play at SF for us. He is a good candidate, though. If an ideal candidate like Butler, Prince or Jeff Green isn't available for a reasonable price, go get RJeff. We've got better than solid back-ups for RJeff in Webster and Batum when RJeff's injuries happen.

    Now Ridnour... I'm not too sure about Rid even as a back-up. I just can't see Nate letting him stay on the floor very long. He's not a good enough defender. Larry Brown is so desperate to sign a veteran PG he has Charlotte talking to Indiana about Jamaal Tinsley. Yuk. How about we get Charlotte involved. Send Ridnour to Charlotte. We can get Felton if we are willing to eat Nazr Mohammad contract. We could use 6 more fouls at the C position in the playoffs anyway.

    Got it all worked out here...
