New York Knicks - What does it take to get rid of this guy? The proposed deal between the Knicks and the Grizzlies to finally get rid of Zach Randolph is dead. It seems as though the Knicks wouldn't include an additional 1st round pick and the Grizzlies decided it wasn't in their best interests to get Randolph. Walsh, what happened? I gave you the okay to do this deal. You're already thinking about buying out Stephon Marbury, why not make this deal to get rid of Randolph too? I can't wait for training camp to start so we can here all of the positives about Randolph before the Knicks find a dummy, I mean someone else to make this deal with.
San Antonion Spurs - Have signed Salim Stoudamire to the roster. The former Atlanta Hawk was brought in to give the Spurs more 3 point shooting since they lost Brent Barry (Suns) and Robert Horry (retirement?). I can see this guy staying in the league for a while as a 3 point shooting specialist. With Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili handling much of the scoring punch, this should be a fine fit.
Washington Wizards - Antonio Daniels decided not to have surgery on his wrist over the summer and feels a lot better since it has healed. This isn't a Gilbert Arenas injury requiring any more surgery, so the people in DC have something to be happy about. The Wizards would like to bring another guard in a former Terp, Juan Dixon, for training camp. They want him to sign an un-guaranteed deal (similar to what Darius Miles has) or a make good deal. I think that Juan should hold out a little longer. He's worth more than that.
Golden State Warriors - Another extension? It looks like the Warriors are going to extend the guy who's been giving out all of these contracts over the summer, Chris Mullin. The Warriors have turned around since Mullin became EVP of Basketball Operations. He may rue the day that he didn't keep Baron and then his young star goes out and injures himself doing something he shouldn't have been doing. But hey, that's all down the road.
Utah Jazz - Another defection of an NBA star to a European team? Well, Andrei Kirilenko has heard the rumors that he is interested in going back to the motherland, Russia, for a deal when he's finished with the Jazz. I'm not sure and I don't think that AK is sure that's what he wants. I think the coin he'd make here would be more than he could in Russia, but hey, they are making lots of money on oil lately, so it may not be a bad deal. We'll see what happens, since the Jazz have to make some decisions about their roster with both AK and Boozer up for extensions.
