That should be one less competitor for Brand on the amnesty bidding.

If something has been online for 5 minutes, it has been on TD for 3.



Which is why I love this place. One stop news shop.

LOL at how hard Stein sucks up to Mark Cuban.

"All Star Center Chris Kaman"

Maybe the Hornets should sign "All Star Center Jamal Magliore" to shore up our 5 spot?

Between this and Heywood's deal, Dallas will NOT be bidding on Brand.

I think Haywood may be getting amnestied soon, but I agree the Kaman signing should take them out of the running for Brand.

I think he will get amnesty in another year or two when Dallas needs the cap space.

No point in doing it this year when you can just keep the underachieving guy around at the same price.

Enjoyed having him last year. Dudes a character. But yea, this relationship has been doomed for a while now. Glad to see Cuban finally make his big offseason splash by signing all star center, Chris Kaman. Hahaha.

Seems Cuban is still trying to save cap space for the 2013 free agent class. I'm surprised Kaman couldn't get more than a 1yr deal from another team. Hell Lopez just got a max 4 yr 61mil deal from Nets.

Kaman's over 30 with a lengthy injury history.

Lopez is young and his only injury, on his foot, wasn't considered a long-term issue AFAIK. On top of that, he was going to get paid by the Bobcats or Blazers if the Nets didn't do it.
