With Kevin Durant almost definitely going to the Sonics, you can guess that the Sonics will either trade Rashard Lewis or let him go in the free agency. What team will get Rashard in the offseason? A solid 6'10 All-Star who is about to reach his prime/already in his prime. He can make the three repeatedly, and his rebounding numbers aren't too shaby.
Well I think he wasn't returning either way with Durant coming or not. He turned down an extension, that's a good indication he does not want to stay in Seattle.

But then again look what happen to marbury when he first got nyc.....The Hornets would be a nice fit though cause Mason aint cuttin it for them(.) consistently at leastWhereever he goes he better not be coming off the bench(.)
I would like to see him be the veteran type all-star in Charlotte. Charloote doesn't have that many scoring options and he could probably fit their or his hometown Houston like Rok pointed out.

And the Hornets already invested a lot of money in Peja Stojakovic. That's all common sense.
A realistic option is Orlando. Also, Charlotte. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>he could probably fit their or his hometown Houston like Rok pointed out.</div>That was the black ninja.
He will not go to Charlotte.I can see them going after Jeff Green in the draft, and they already have Gerald Wallace and Adam Morrison, not to mention Walter Herrman.

"9th man of the year" That's common sense.I forgot Peja, just like I did with mashburn.But Yeah with peja back they dont really need him unless one of them slides to the SG spot. Hard to see that happen tho.
Hakim Warrick will most likely come off the bench for us. Hes very good doing that. Rudy Gay can play SG, put Shard at the 3, and do somehting with Mike Miller...DAMN memphis has alotve talent. Im over not get 1st or 2nd, Memphis is still set if we can get a damn GM and coach.

I want him to stay - with him gone we're back to 2 stars. I would like them to sighn him and make a trade for KG or JOneal we could throw in Swift or someone like that

In my opinion, your better off cutting ties with Rashard Lewis. Resigning him and add to that Ray Allen's contract, that doesn't leave you much flexability. Your better off just having the SF spot ready for Kevin Durant. Keeping Lewis might make you more exciting in the short term, but long term it's not a blanced enough team or a good enough defensive team to make a run in the western conference.
I think Orlando is a prime spot for the Rashard Lewis to think about. They have the cap room for him to be signed to a decent amount of money, alot more cap room than most people have to spend on him. As well as Orlando has the need for an oustide scoring presence like Rashard Lewis that can creat his own shot, as well as hit the spot up jumper off of passes and kickouts. He would easily be our first or second scoring option for the team. That is a prime spot for Lewis to think about.

They have cap and they could make a run at him. It's not out of the question to move Wallace to the 2. Morrison right now is going to come off the bench for the Cats. Same with Hermann. Neither are starting caliber.

We have alotve good young talent.
