    Pretty sure your source was a tweet from a fake account taken from another fake account. Inception style.

    Danny Ferry has done an incredible job in his first few weeks.

    Shedding Joe Johnson/Marvin Williams with enough cap next summer to sign D12 or CP3.

    Bucher had an interesting idea: Horford/Teague/picks for Howard makes sense for both sides -- sign CP3 next summer.

    Nets have three players under contract for next season. Let that marinate

    Where was this Danny Ferry in Cleveland? LeBron would still be there

    I'd hold the praise until after Ferry rebuilds. Breaking it apart is easy. Building back up is the hard part.

    David Aldridge: Total Hawks savings thus far (yes, I'm assuming Marvin Williams wouldn't leave $7.5M on the table next year): a little more than $96M

    Clips still making moves: Jamal Crawford to visit Tues, Clips to offer Billups contract; interested in C Ryan Hollins;http://www.latimes.com/sports

    Looks like Eric Gordon will be getting a max contract (offer) from the Suns.

    Le sigh.

    They'll end up paying nearly as much money to someone else, so it's not really saving money unless they can quickly improve on what was already a pretty good team.

    wasn't going to compete in the east. they moved Joe Johnson's contract which many people thought was impossible. I thought they got Devin Harris for a pretty low price. Tons of cap space to chase CP3 and Dwight now. If it didn't work, they blew it up anyways and starting over pretty quickly.

    PHX hasn't agreed to it yet. I assume they will ponder it and Gordon will continue to go to teams until one offers him a max.

    Gordon agrees to offer from Suns, I'd imagine NO would match though since Gordon is like their only player. But it looks like we can probably cross him off the list.

    didn't they just make an offer for Lin? Or planning on it. Sounds like Dragic and Houston aren't close.
    Funny if toronto viewed this offseason as landing Nash, and then, with deron staying, nash goes to dallas, dragic to phx, lin to houston, and....felton to toronto.
