True, he's just a throw away contract that will be immediately voided, so injury risk isn't really a reason to hold him out unless something is happening/being agreed to today.

That was my point, unless someone else was missing, it looks like it'd have to be Morrow S&T usingour MLE rather than Rivers. McNamara has mentioned the possibility of Rivers + Ajinca, but why do Rivers + Ajinca when you can add Southerland's voidable contract instead? If it's Rivers + Ajinca + voidables I'd be expecting a future 1st back since we can't take back any salary.

Babbitt could be being traded or maybe he's just sick or something, Who knows?

Shouldn't the coach know how many players he has? Coach Gates clearly knew something could be going down.

League source tells me the Thunder, once confident they had a legit chance at Pau, now consider it a long shot to land Gasol


Have they been connected to anyone else besides Morrow in FA? I don't recall anyone else, perhaps their trade exception is available for Morrow now.

Yeah, could be just that he was excused or late arriving.

By the way, Pelicans PG Russ Smith is wearing uniform #9. Pelicans veteran SF Darius Miller has #2, the number Smith wore at Louisville


So Darius Miller is still with the team Lance Thomas style.

Technicals included? I wouldn't mind a player like that

That's right, Rasheed was worse. Ben wasn't a bitch though.

Yep, Ben was the man. Grabbing every rebound in the air. I'll take that kind if player.

Yeah, Ben Wallace was a monster. All star and DPOY.

I would have hated being an opposing big man going up against he and Rasheed. Scary big man duo.

Really that whole starting 5 was legit.

Patric Young could be a very good steal for us. He could easily backup the 4 and the 5. Having a front court of Davis, Asik, Anderson, Withey and Young is very legit. (Assuming Young beats out Ajinca).

That's about as good of a defensive front court as you can find and Davis/Anderson obviously being plenty of offense as well.

Ben was a banger, but I don't remember him picking up many technical fouls. Most of Sheed's techs came from his mouth more than anything else.

You right about that. Sheed was just pissing people off. Especially the refs.
