    Rip Hamilton will soon be a free agent as the Bulls will waive him rather than guarantee his $5 million salary for next season, source says.

    So who is left?? Kaman, pev, and a miracle shot at Asik?

    And starting at center... ZaZa Pachula

    Still better than JJ/Meyers at center. I doubt he would let a scrub like Reggie Evans drop 22pts/26rbs on the Blazers. That was a dark day in Blazer defensive history.

    We must be waiting for Asik, or other Howard dominoes. Or maybe Lopez.

    I remember Dalembert dropping a random 35/12 last year. He'd be better than Pachulia, on par with Kaman.

    Sounds like Budinger is close to re-upping with the T-Pups, per Jorge Sierra on twitter.

    MM would argue he's better than Kaman.

    Reading up on the Abbott piece (he's not horrible if he just shuts up about about the Blazers)...

    talking about how having 4 good 3-pt shooters on the floor is a big deal and very predictive of wins.

    I have no doubt that with some combo of Lillard/McCollum/Wes/Nic we'll have good shooters at the 1-2-3 at almost all times. But LMA has never shown a tendency to shoot 3s. Obviously our centers can't. Who's a premier long-range 4? Kevin Love.

    Who says no in a LMA-for-Love swap (aside from most in here)? Do we have to sweeten it? Does MIN? Would either?

    Or do you try to swing a trade for someone like Novak/Anderson/Olynyk/Muscala/etc? Or do you just say "Abbott's full of crap" and stick with what we have (aside from a C)?

    Chase Budinger has reached agreement on a three-year, $16 million deal to return to Minnesota, league source tells Y! Sports.

    So how long does Dwight drag this shit out? I really hate that guy. He has somehow turned this into a three year ordeal.

    Wow.... fuck that guy. Seriously. Fuck that guy.

    Does he realize that he's holding up any number of other deals from happening?
