Rashard Lewis to the heat- http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=8154260

Let me see ummm "he deserves a ring", "glad he has a shot to finally get one", "he's paid his dues" Any other run-of-the-mill statements we use to justify the ring chase?

I heard he's only gone there because LeBron wanted to check him off his 'Hyperizers' teammate check list. He was the last one, the bingo.

I like the Bayless signing for the Grizz. He could be a sweet sixth man who could fill both guard spots at time. Solid deal I think.

Well that ends the Dwight Howard's chances of going to Brooklyn in a trade. He will either be in LA or Houston or hold Orlando hostage for another year if they don't get a trade they like. I am sick of hearing about him in trade talks now!!!

Kaman to the Mavs-

They had to get someone to man the middle.... Being a member of Team Germany with Dirk they should have great chemistry.

I might start cheering for the Nets if Tyshawn Taylor actually gets to play and the folks they are signing

[CavFanatic31]

Sounds like Hickson is signing a 1-year deal with Portland, for anyone other than me that care lol

Does anybody else think this free agent season is a joke? The owners caused a work stoppage citing they are not profitable and salaries need to come down. Brook Lopez max deal. Eric Gordon max deal. Joe Johnson max deal. Nash's contract. These guys are good players, but not centerpiece max deal guys. So much for the owners being fiscally responsible. They lost their leverage and sympathy for the next lockout.
