    The #10 and Capspace for Asik and Trob (if necessary)

    Was kinda curious where Fez was going with that.

    Starting Asik and DMC leaves us...in an interesting spot. Neither has a reliable outside jumper, and neither is a great passer.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--h...-become-free-agent-this-season-035834459.html

    Bobby Brown, who is killing it in the SerieA playoffs right now, is a free agent and might come over to the NBA.

    I couldn't find info on whether or not Bo McCalebb, who's probably a better NBA fit/talent, is a free agent, but either way, Brown would be a great bench addition for a team lacking scoring off the bench, and will probably be one of the more coveted free agents if he actually comes back to the States.

    I'm also wondering, with Glen Rice, Jr. being considered anywhere from a lottery to late first round pick, where would Bobby Brown and Bo McCalebb be if they were thrown back into the draft process this summer after proving their worth as professionals abroad (granted Brown has already had his time in the NBA, given more freedom over in Italy he really proved that he could more than excel in a primary role).

    Hey, the Blazers were the team that originally drafted Marcus Brown. Bobby has a way to go to reach his namesake's Euro-legend.

    It's obvious that certain players are better suited to Europe. Jeremy Pargo was amazing in Europe, but not so much the NBA. Brandon Jennings was the reverse. And Rubio looks better for the Timberwolves than he did for Barcelona (but that might've just been the coach). I have a feeling Nolan Smith could thrive over there.

    Mike Malone is a living lock 2B Kings' head coach, I'm informed. Don't know time frame of announcement, but go to sleep on it happening.

    If Malone becomes the Kings' coach by June 2013, I see the Kings in the playoffs by April 2015.

    Seems like he will be a great coach. Wish PDX would have liked him more

    And the West just got that much better

    One part of the Dwight Howard market could be very interesting for the GSWs: Teams possibly dropping/moving players to create cap space.

    Tim Kawakami ‏@timkawakami 1m
    Houston has a team option on F Carlos Delfino. If he's jettisoned, that's a guy who could fit the Warriors very nicely.

    Amazing, the Kings will have made the first intelligent move in years right after the Maloofs were kicked out.

    Alex Rankin ‏@ARankin11 3m
    @TheRocketGuy @DTPERKINS23 He asked if the Lakers fired D'Antoni would that make D12 stay. I told him it'd be a start but maybe not enough

    Bill Ingram ‏@TheRocketGuy 2m
    @ARankin11 @DTPERKINS23 Oh, OK. I've been told the Lakers won't fire D'Antoni because it shows they don't know what they're doing.

    Is Malone the same guy that was drawing up plays for Mike Brown's err... LeBron's Cavs? He was a good Xs and Os coach-- what better play can you come up with than give it LBJ, and get out of the way?

    Name sounds familiar. I remember a gif of him (i think) and all the players huddled up with Mike Brown twiddling his thumbs on the side.

    Spurs don't appear to be on D12's radar, but they do have space to sign him and re-sign Manu, as well. There's a championship team for you.

    Holy Cow! Yikes!

    Not sure how he figures that's possiblle, unless Howard takes a big paycut. If the cap goes up to 60 like projected, they'd have roughly 19 million in space. But they also would have Manu's cap hold, ad Splitter's cap hold. So waive Splitter, renounce Manu, sign Howard, and then Manu's going to waht, take the room exception of 2.6?

    Manu isn't a RFA, is he? Don't think he has a cap hold. Could be completely wrong.

    Edit - On hoopsworld, they really don't have much cap room tied up next year. TP gets 12.5. Duncan gets 10.4. Manu isn't a RFA.

    48 mill is what they have if they keep everything. Could easily renounce Splitter, cut Bonner, Mills, and Diaw, and have a bit of room
