    Isaiah Thomas grew up as a Lakers fan, so getting that call must have been special. Last week, he told me LA offer sheet would "mean a lot."

    Pierce was on my original list. I think he'd be great off the bench for us.

    Alex rarely breaks news anymore.

    Lately he's spammed the newsfeed with "don't forget to read my....."

    Over and over.

    Playing no defense won't get us a championship.

    Damn... this is even more exciting since we didn't have a pick.

    Always knew Neil would be heavy into it right at midnight.

    Lets hope we can get at least one of Monroe or Hawes.

    Didn't he come off the bench for NJ for a while?

    Why not? Ego? If so, don't want him near here. His role is a bench next year, period. He should know that if he wants to stay in the league.

    That's why he fits with Stotts. :)

    Hearing the blazers name more than I expected already, and I knew it would be an active one!

    It seems like the initial flurry is dying down a bit. Lot's of immediate post-deadline contacts and now the fallout, rumors and negotiations start up.

    Trevor Ariza is receiving interest from a ton of teams after big season. I've heard HOU, DAL, LAL, LAC, CLE, TOR, PHX, DET, MIA interested.

    We haven't signed anyone yet (well, got a commitment)?

    Season.

    Over.

    One rumor I heard before draft: Cavs thinking of giving Trevor Ariza a deal in the $8-10 mil range. Like I said, teams going nuts for Ariza.
