He is the guy you build around not get rid of. Salmons would be the first one gone if they are going to trade anybody.

I'm not saying this year, that's why I based it on Jimmer's development. But what other reason would they be acquiring YOUNG talent with the same skills?

They're basically trying players out and seeing who can fit with each other. We all see the same thing, a bunch of scorers. But their thinking may be that they could at least hit on 2 or 3 guys who could mesh with DeMarcus Cousins and possibly Tyreke Evans at the 2.

Remember, Marcus Thornton's contract is frontloaded.

Not like the media helps. I mean, we haven't heard any reports on ESPN about our favorite teams, but ESPN CHOOSES to air the Dwight/CP3 saga.

Same thing with Tim Tebow. Herm Edwards mentioned this, but while the media and fans, etc. are so concerned about who should get credit for the Broncos' wins, and the fact that fans may or may not put so much on him, the only guy NOT making it about him at all is Tim Tebow himself.

Not comparing Dwight or CP3 to Tebow though. Just saying, the media chooses what goes on air and how often. How much of us would actually like to hear training camp reports on our favorite teams?

And when teams start playing their preseason games, how much do you guys bet ESPN and the media will over-analyze the "chemistry" between CP3 and the Hornets and Dwight and the Magic, and the states of their teams?

It's getting out of hand for sure, but only because we hear about it 10 times an hour.

I'm wondering what the Nets are going to do now? Do they take a chance of trading for Dwight later in the season or do they go on and try and sign Nene.

I'd put Portland in over the Knicks. He's gonna want to recoup some of that money he lost by buying out, and there's a clear need at SG in Portland. Also, this could force Crawford's hand a bit, since Crawford isn't considering the Bulls. But the Bulls definitely are the frontrunners.

Also, I have a friend who said he doesn't wanna see Rip in a Chicago uniform
