Making room for Dwight to play with no PG?

Jeremy Lin wants more $ than reported $31 million offer from Houston, according to league source. #Knicks facing a hefty match

My god, Jeremy (and agent). I understand you want to capitalize on Linsanity, but this is ridiculous.

It was a joke lol. Dallas is so screwed right now. Losing assets is not bringing anybody good in. Lol and Jeremy Lin, he play in what? 15 games starting last year? We annihilate him i think in his last game played. And he's asking for more money? Im betting more that anything he will end up being just a fluke for those game.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Veteran F Rashard Lewis, bought out by the Hornets after coming in Okafor/Ariza trade from D.C., will visit Miami this weekend, per source.

[Wade2Bosh]

He better not be looking for more than the veterans minimum. I'd definitely take him on this team.

[Jace]

Yeah I really hope we're talking to him as a vet min guy and not a Ray Allen rebound.

Credit to @daldridgetnt for report about Rashard Lewis visiting Heat this weekend. Lewis has always been Miami's Plan B....

Seems everyone is assuming its a Plan B, but you never know with The Don at the helm.

[doctordrizzay]

Ray Allen, Lewis, and Camby.

Id be very satisfied with that.

[Dwyane Wade]

Seems like he is a plan b... Someone else just reported it too, bad sign from the feeling they got with Ray Ray? Is he still in the meeting?

Edit* I just saw Jace's post that the meeting was set for 5:30p

Boston homers are terrible. Half of them think Rondo is the best PG in the league.

[Wade2Bosh]

I wonder if Ray and Rashard are still close?

That would be beyond a grand slam. Slim chance.

[Wade County]

Ray and Rashard would be pretty cool. I think Camby would want too much $$$, plus with our penchant for small ball I doubt he signs here to be a bit player.

[Jace]

Camby will be 39 next postseason, he's probably very close to sacrificing money/minutes for a ring. He did once receive criticism for asking for a clothing stipend upon the inaction of the new dress code mandate, so he may milk the "big man with a pulse" advantage to the very end.

Was wondering the same. They went to battle together as the two best players on that Sonics team for awhile. Two very professional dudes, I'm sure they have a good relationship. Was thinking earlier today it would be awesome to reunite them here. Wade/Allen/LeBron/Rashard/Bosh would've been unstoppable, like, 3-4 years ago.
