    Signed Earl Watson, along with re-signing Greg Buckner and DerMarr Johnson.

    My guess is they'll try and give Dre Miller some more minutes at the two in order to give Earl the Pearl minutes. With Lenard also coming back this season and Boykins their sparkplug off the bench, I don't see any room for Flip in Denver.

    They would have to be early favourites for the Northwest too.

    I agree, scratch another possible destination off the list for Flip. In the end he probably acceptst the QO taking a gamble that as along as he puts up decent #'s, he'll garner some interest as an UFA because of his ability to create his own shot.

    I love the Pearl, but interesting move from a team that not only just resigned 2 guards in Demarr Johnson and Greg Buckner, but drafted Daniel Ewing and Julius Hodge! Just seems like a total logjam a the guard posistion when you couple them with Miller and Boykins.

    Your right, so I guess its not as bad as I originally thought. Watson is a George Karl kind of guy, so maybe he'll get some run, but I just don't see the room for any more of a role than he had with MEM. My guess is that Boykins gives up some of his minutes to make some room for Earl, we'll see.
