Another medical retirement seems in order here. Can't he get a note from his doctor that would satisfy the insurance company's lawyers?

nets "debating" whether to put a claim in for chauncey billups in amnesty circus.

not sure why they'd do that. they have dwill, and they need money to get dwight howard. billups has no trade value, because he's made clear he'll retire if he's dealt to an insufficiently competitive team (e.g., a howard-less magic).

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

wait so can teams over the salary cap not put in a bid at all for amnesty guys? im still confused on how this thing works. im guessing they cant because i assume some contender (celts, lakers, mavs??) would be all over a minimum bid for chauncey even as a third guard or injury insurance

concussion section, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:31 (twelve years ago) link

also can i just looool at the TWOLVES swooping in for barea, that dude is only useful in the exact situation he was in for the mavs (change-of-pace third guard on a slow, old, contending team with guard depth)

concussion section, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:32 (twelve years ago) link

like, really, you just paid a dude 5m a year to block rubio from seeing the court

concussion section, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:33 (twelve years ago) link

it appears the nets are playing a very calculating game:

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- If Orlando believes signing Billups could help keep Dwight Howard, clearly Nets are suggesting: Well, maybe Big Shot won't be a free agent.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:34 (twelve years ago) link

billups isn't going to orlando as a free-agent, anyway. and billups -- at 35 -- isn't keeping howard in orlando for any length of time.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:35 (twelve years ago) link

Twolves GM to Rubio: "You're our guy. Leave europe and come play here". Twolves GM under his breath: "You will pay for jilting me."

david kahn made the decision that the wolves needed another point guard - you don't question david kahn about point guards

tumblr whine-y (dayo), Monday, 12 December 2011 21:43 (twelve years ago) link

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- Y! Sources: Hornets GM Dell Demps a "spectator" in basketball decisions. Stern's deputies running Chris Paul talks.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link

what's the t-wolves story?

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link

JJ Barea should buy Dirk a thank you gift.

Aimless, Monday, 12 December 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link

well, maybe i was wrong about dwight howard maybe staying in orlando if they land billups. hm.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 12 December 2011 21:48 (twelve years ago) link

man if this shit is true magic are srsly taking advantage of dwights good nature, what a crap org

Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

you mentioned it in an earlier post but if billups is claimed he can't be traded for the rest of the season

he's a SG btw

v-shasty, Monday, 12 December 2011 22:58 (twelve years ago) link

nah, he's 6' 5"

v-shasty, Monday, 12 December 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link

also undercover brother wasn't bad

concussion section, Monday, 12 December 2011 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

there's nothing wrong with the Lee deal if he's been amazing in camp. Unorthodox but fine.

I like how the league quietly allowed the Wolves to retain the rights to Ngombo to save them the embarrassment of making officially the worst second round pick ever.

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 12 December 2011 23:42 (twelve years ago) link

chauncey to the clippers

LOL U MAD BRO

Sources have told Tony Allen's Twitter account that Josh McRoberts and Brandon Rush are headed to Memphis, presumably for O.J. Mayo.

tony allen's twitter is very upbeat!! what the hell does his handle mean tho

cad, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:37 (twelve years ago) link

like whenever it seems like the insanity might be slowing down, tony allen breaks a nonexistent trade on his twitter and then blames mike conley

v-shasty, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:38 (twelve years ago) link

I'm glad they've handed stewardship of the Hornets over to Stu Jackson. His sterling record as Grizzlies GM from 1994 to 2000 assures me that he's the right guy for the job.
