Hornets interested in a sign and trade for Suns Robin Lopez.

I wouldnt mind moving moute, udrih, or gooden. We have young talent lets use it and grow on it. Harris only 20 he needs to play and not sit on the bench.

ak47 returning to the nba but not the nets he said he'd be a nice addition at the 3! heard he's playing the best basketball of his career right now!

Dooling signs one year deal with Celtics. Ronnie Brewer signs with Knicks.

The Hornets are closing in on a sign-and-trade for Robin Lopez.

The deal would be completed as a three-team trade with the Suns and Wolves also involved.

Going to the Hornets along with Lopez will be Hakim Warrick.

Phoenix will acquire Wesley Johnson and a first round pick from the Wolves.

The trade would clear cap space for Minnesota as they pursue Andrei Kirilenko.

I wish we would have at least looked at Lopez! I know he is nothing on offense but he is young and pretty stout on defense.

Plus that would have help free up that logjam at pf that we have.

Read over at Magic board that a poster read on another forum that Magic interested in Ellis to try and keep Howard. I think they read a old article when Ellis was with Warriors yet. Then a few posters threw out bad proposals of Ellis for Redick,QR and two second rounders. lol QR is on a horrible deal like Gooden. I see us as bad trading partners now. Its was ok back when we wanted to unload Jackson. But he's gone. No need to unload Ellis for scraps. Besides there two draftee's are pf's so that's out.

Looks like AK47 will get a two year deal worth $20M, $10M per from Wolves.

There source was Bucks started to follow Redick,Davis,QR on twitter. So the posters assumed Bucks might be closing in on a deal. Actually my other post I was thinking of bad contract of Jason Richardson. Not Q Richardson. Redick has one year left on his deal.

Redick $6,000,000
Davis $6,400,000 $6,400,000 $6,600,000
Q. Richardson $2,627,400 $2,808,600

Ellis$11,000,000 $11,000,000

Ellis final year is a player option. Which he probably will opt out to get more money or just to leave us. Even though we have a ton of cap space in 2013.

Not sure if I like that deal or not. I know I wanted Redick in any Jackson deal back last deadline.

substitute Orton for Davis,and it becomes more interesting

I would think there would have to be a first included

[ROY 2 MVP Braun]

i dont want anyone besides jj orton or jrich from orlando, with that being said none of them are worth ellis even if we get a first which will be a late first with howard+ellis....jrich is old n not the player he used to be, orton has a ton of upside just needs playing time but i think he is with another team now(pretty sure i saw him on another team in summer league not positive but like 75%sure) n jj is a good shooter but not a starter he's a good bench player but i think lamb will have a better career than jj when its all said and done id rather hold on to ellis and try to keep him and jennings. if anything wait til the deadline and trade him to a contender looking for that 1 piece to put them over the top or a young team with picks looking for a vet leader...id hate to just give him away even tho theres a chance he leaves for nothing!

In the Hammond conference call he mentioned he's in talks with Jennings and Ellis for extensions.

Delfino may be going to Houston.

[ROY 2 MVP Braun]

^thank god!

[time4change]

We could really use Delfino if he's right. We need some more shooting.

I know we have Lamb but I'm just being realistic and not expecting him to play much yet. Hopefully he'll do something early to prove that he should be playing though, same can be said about Henson.

[ROY 2 MVP Braun]

true but i dont see lamb getting a shot if delfino is here
