Wow, this article had me scratching my head. Garnett was drafted by the Twolves in 1995, not 2005. What a gaff by the editors of this story.

Anthony Davis agrees to a 5 year, $145M contract extension. No better gig in this world than being a superstar in the NBA.

[KevB]

Kawhi agrees to 5 year, $90M extension. Waiting for Gasol to agree with Grizz on 5 year, $110M deal soon. Just huge money getting thrown around.

He'd have to play pretty much for free, so um, no.

Rumors that Lebron wants Dunleavy (****, Lebron is the worst GM in the world).

Other rumor is Cavs shopping Haywood for Splitter and Patty Mills. Now that, on the other hand, would make Cleveland an absolute powerhouse.

Would that also help the Spurs in the quest for lamarcus Aldridge?

I've since read that report was BS. This time of year, who knows.

That's the theory. That might also allow them to also keep Danny Green, but I don't think the deal is real.

Is Haywoods expiring contract even big enough for teams to bother trading for it?

And Mo Williams is probably going to sign with them. Would be a very good pickup. Would be one of the top backup PGs in the league and could fill in if/when Kyrie gets hurt way better than Delly.

Oh, Brendan Haywood has a 10.5 mil contract for next year.



Uh...alrighty then...

It would make sense for the Spurs for sure.

Cavs need scorers.

Yup. There's a reason they kept that useless bastard around! Think they have leverage to get $13-14M in trade exception for him. Even more if they package any players.

What's wrong with Dunleavy? Shot 41% from 3 this year.

This is pretty much the perfect move for both teams. The Cavs don't really need Splitter, but they really, really need Mills. I would actually rather the Cavs make a play for Diaw instead of Splitter. Splitter will create a huge logjam at Center whereas Diaw could play a very valuable role of giving Lebron quality bench minutes in the regular season.
