OB, I think Jenkins will go with Horford and Teague and filler.

boy,
Mark Bradley would be torn between a conniption and an indelible smile if only one member of the “Core” remains after 2 weeks of the Danny Ferry era.

Louis Williams costs less than half of Joe, gets buckets like Joe, and brings his suprstar friends to Philips unlike Joe. Great move.

Ferry is making Sund look real bad.
The mirror makes Sund look bad…Ferry is making Sund look like a crook!
He’s stole money for how many years?

I saw those tweets and was thinking something very similar. But like Rod from CP mentioned, hopefully, it would be Harris.

Maybe I missed them, but what did you find so odd about them?

We need to leave Lewis the heck alone. Let him go to the Heat. This Howard trade is a real possibility now.

Can you trade a draft pick after he signs a deal with the team he was drafted by?
Can Lou be reliable at the PG?

O’B,
isn’t some of ORL’s leverage (borderline poison pill) for those teams who wants D12 so badly is to find a willing partner to push off the existing bad contracts of J. Richardson and Turkalou?
Somebody on here probably has crunched the nos. if we take on Dwight + J-Rich + Hedu.

Anybody else think Josh gets that kind of money here? I do not.
