DUST Chip Countdown

[Underdog]

I'm sure a few teams will be unloading talented players with bloated contracts to make space for Wade/LeBron/Bosh - I'd rather swoop in and get 2 rotational players of value (JET/Josh-quality) with the DUST chip than gun for a superstar and end up empty-handed...

One of the great things about the DUST Chip is it gives us the ability to wait and see how the situation plays out for those superstars. If there's an opportunity to nab a Wade or James, then we pounce on it, if not then we still have a valuable chip that can be used up until January 2011 to net 1 or 2 very solid players.

There are always teams looking to unload talent for cap relief so no need to rush into a trade now and potentially tie our hands later should the opportunity to acquire Sammy Superstar arise.
