I guess they could always reneg on Wallace or the Euro.

Yeah, this is the kind of stuff I'm thinking now. It seems really unlikely (hell, Teletovic is repped by Schwartz...), but you never know.
I honestly think the Magic would be monumentally stupid to trade Dwight to Brooklyn right now. That offer will be there in months. They can wait.

They won't. They can trade him wherever they get the best deal.
Its not like Dwight's gonna sit out an entire year and forfeit a years salary.
He really has no choice about where he plays next season.

It's 1 am here - really went to bed too late yesterday already.
Guess I just call it a night. First thing tomorrow is gonna be check this board - really hope it's "Deron Williams..." instead of "Primal Scream.." that sits on top.

That's a horrible image. Accurate, but awful!

I am wondering if the Nets are saying this to Deron, "We are signing a bunch of pretty good to very good players that we believe will be trading pieces for Dwight sometime before the trade deadline next season. You've gotta have faith that some combination of these contracts will eventually equal Dwight Howard". Then its up to DWill to decide if they can pull it off.

You know what I haven't heard around these parts in a while: the idea that Schwartz needed to do Dallas a solid for the Odom saga...

Oh I bet he won't say anything tonight. Just another "wasted" day in free agency. But we know now that Landry Fields is headed to Toronto and Nash aint going to NY.

Big shock on that one. The puss didn't want a coach to get on to him and he didn't want to play 82. He wanted to leave the NBA last summer before he got traded to the Mavs.

Wouldn't that be kind of unprecedented? I know contracts get voided due to health concerns and things like that, but wouldn't doing something like making a handshake agreement with a free agent and then taking it back greatly hurt a team's chances of signing other quality guys in the future?
Has that ever been done before?

Carlos Boozer says hello. He f*cked over a blind man in Cleveland to sign with the Jazz.

They should have sent Alan instead. One man Wolfpack would have got the job done!

Please match JET now... There are no other max-worthy free agents, so the Mavs should be able to sign him and a quality PG.

I get the feeling both items are easier said than done.

Fish is such a hack. Insistent that Dwill is coming until the final minute, then tweets "Dwill is headed to the Nets... What's next for the mavs? Dallasbasketball.com is on it!"
