Jason Hart wasn't a half-bad idea,but he's going to Utah now.I was looking at their website to see if we were going to the rocky mountain revue and I chanced upon that item.I guess we're not going to Salt Lake City by the way.

What did Hart sign for? I don't think there's a chance that he would have picked Charlotte over Utah so good luck to him.

Just looking at the FA list (here) I guess these would be our options if were going to sign a FA at PG

Keith McLeod
Smush Parker (no thanks)
Mike Wilks
Travis Diener
Daniel Ewing
Junior Harrington

I would have much rather spent Carrol's money on Darko. I think we overpaid and that he won't get significantly better.

As for the PG, I don't know if they could have handled the situation any worse. First we keep him when he has value, then we get rid of him when he doesn't even though it's highly likely that he'll regain that value near the trade deadline. Also, we've left ourself without a quality option for the backup point slot.

Edit: Are there any decent points in the last year of their contract that we could possibly get for cheap, maybe to help somebody get under the luxury tax or salary cap?

Diener to the Pacers

I can't say I would have been thrilled to sign Diener as more than a third stringer I don't see who else is out there...
Francis returns to Houston

I don't think we need him,but I don't think I would pay 30 million$ to not play for us either.

[nutmeged3]

Wasn't there some kind of rumor at the deadline that we turned down Ely for Diener and Outlaw? Makes that trade look even better now that we don't have a backup point

[nutmeged3]

I guess Hudson's bought to be bought out and as long as he doesn't want much he would be a decent option

[nutmeged3]

WOW, KG to Boston, just got a lot harder for us to make the playoffs

I think teams like New Jersey and Washington should be more threatened by this move than Charlotte.

After ten years with the Golden State Warriors, Adonal Foyle will be moving on. The team has requested waivers on the veteran center after reaching a contractual buyout agreement. Terms of the agreement are not yet known.

"We will certainly miss Adonal's presence, both on and off the court," Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Mullin said. "However, we think this move is in the best interest of both parties as we move forward. Adonal was a true professional in every sense of the word during his decade-long tenure with the Warriors. We wish him the best as he begins the next phase of his career."

I don't know he's not very good but he would be a good backup big and we have some Warrior conections with J-Rich and Higgens.

[Diable]

I would guess that he might just go home to St Vincent and the Grenadines.He's already made 43 million playing in the NBA and now GSW is giving him 20 million to not play for their NBA franchise.Anything that we or anyone else pays him might seem a bit like chump change.I wouldn't doubt that he's been smart with his money either.He isn't much of a player,but he looks like Albert Einstein compared to most NBA players.

Darrell Armstrong, 39, has a contract with the Indiana Pacers, but it is not guaranteed, which means he might be playing somewhere else. The Warriors, Nets, Bobcats and Mavs all have expressed some interest. "I'm not going to put the kids in school until we know where we'll be,'' he said last week. "So for now, we're all at home [in Atlanta], playing video games.''

I saw the Armstrong story...He actually looked really good for the Pacers last year,and if we needed to fire our new coach he'd be a strong candidate also.If we can get him cheap I'm fine with that,he's a tough guy who always gives you effort.

I saw a guy named JJ(jose juan) Barea playing for Puerto Rico today.They said he played great for the Mavs Summer league team,but I really doubt that he'll get much burn if he is signed by them(not sure of his status actually).He looks like he'd be a really nice backup actually,although he's a little short and it looks like he might like to shoot a bit more than I might like.We need anyone decent at the point.

Also Foyle signed with the Magic.

I really don't see the point of trading for Richardson if we weren't going to be serious about trying to make the playoffs this season.Unless it's just some token appease the restless natives move you have to put together a serious team after you commit to that move.If we're not going to add quality backups inside and at the point it's all just a waste of effort and we'd have been better off keeping Brandon Wright and our capspace.

I'm pretty sure Barea was on the Mavs team last all of last year and they just signed him to a guarenteed contract.

You can't get too enamored with those guys...remember Arroyo last year? He looked awesome in the FIBA tournament but so far he pretty much sucks as an NBAer...esp. at 4 million bucks.

There isn't much "quality" left...I certainly don't consider Foyle quality. He's beef in the paint and that's pretty much it. The positive is we were interested in him, so it does look like we're addressing both issues fans seem to be most worried about.

Right now it's a buyer's market, so there's no rush to fill those 2 spots. Unlike other teams we actually have 2 open positions so we ought
