    Dallas could reload in a hurry with Brand and Lou Williams

    Any chance they would be in the market for Ray Felton? If I was Dallas I don't think I would do it. Lots of BBQ's in Dallas...

    Maybe? Felton, Williams, Brand and Dirk, along with what they have easily gets them to the playoffs

    It would be just our luck that Felton turns into Steve freakin Nash in Dallas.

    Dallas has eyes for ramon sessions based on rumors. I doubt they go after felton.

    Sessions would be a good pickup.... not great. He kind of flopped on the Lakers.

    Sessions has always been a third tier PG. It wasn't he flopped, he just stayed the course.

    He flopped if you consider their expectations.

    That's 10mil more than ESPN is reporting. The video in this article says 'more than 30mil', but the article itself says 28.

    http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/sto...y-lin-agrees-sign-offer-sheet-houston-rockets

    Even if he's a backup, its not a bad contract (if what they're reporting is true). 5 mil each of the first 2 years, 9 in the 3rd and a team option for 9 in the 4th. So, if he sucks next year, that's 2 years of being overpaid at only 5mil and then he becomes an expired 9mil contract in the 3rd. Seems pretty low risk to me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Actually, he was great for them in the regular season. Their offense took off after he joined them. He flopped for them in the playoffs.

    According to Mark Stein, the Raptors just pulled their QO to Bayless.
