    PA might be selling the team?

    Nate continues to only sign 1 year contracts?

    We have 3 times the GM power as most teams

    We not only have a plan, but we have B and C contingencies

    Kinda hard to have any kind of good news considering how incompetent this management is.

    Larry Miller
    Bert Kolde
    Paul Allen

    It's a fucking disaster.

    How much can we offer him next year? After a certain number of years doesn't the designated first round salary slot expire? Would signing a Carl Landry or Chuckie Hayes hurt our chances more? The ideal situaion of course would be a 3 man rotation of Freeland ,LMA and Oden at the 4-5.

    He signed a long-term deal with Unicaja Malaga but can be bought out -- $2m after this season.

    But he also made it clear he doesn't want to "warm benches" in the NBA when he comes over.

    You mean the year that almost wasn't? Why would a Euro sign this year when they were not sure there would be a season?

    It would (have?) been great to get him over here this season. You can almost bet that he wouldn't be warming the bench, especially if he's as good as they're claiming.

    I'd love to see Freeland come over. He looks like the hustle guy/banger that we need.

    I understand completely.

    Do you think Freeland eats a lot of bangers?

    As I understand it, they can go above his salary slot to acquire him - but only if they are under the cap or have the full MLE available. Whether those rules will get tweaked in the final draft is anybody's guess.

    GREAT Post. Thanks.

    It's clear Freeland is the answer to replacing Camby next year. He looks good next to LMA, great prospective.
