Beasley put up 28 and 9 in Orlando Summer League action yesterday.

Ironically, the Heat played the Bulls.

Rose ended up with something like 10 pts, 4 asst and 5 TOs

the sonics big 3 lit it up vs the magic. speaking of the magic, courtney lee dropped 27 vs durant...and signed pietrus. fuck the magic

Everyone is raving about Chalmers, too.

*grumble*

miami officials are already saying "point guard of the future" after 2 summer league games.[smilie=heatsmiley2:

Courtney Lee = '08-'09 Rodney Stuckey?

Let's hope not, Otis Smith is a moron.

That's why I took Lee in our mock with NJ.

Rose has looked like shit.

BREAKING NEWS


A Full Flight
The Pistons' Flight Crew will expand to nine dunkers in 2008-09, as three first-year performers will join the most experienced trampoline dunk team the Pistons have ever fielded. The newcomers each made a strong impression during the tryout.

I read Breaking News and thought it'd be something good.

Damn Glenn, you're good.

Milwaukee gave Bogut a 5 year $60m extension, which about the same extension that Chauncey got.

Hey Hammond, wanna trade?

What do you think he gets on the open market? He'd be nice to take a chance on if the money isn't huge. He's a big guard so he'd pair nicely with Stuckey as a versitile backcourt (assuming he's ever healthy again).


Clippers renounce rights to Livingston, four other players

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=lac) said Wednesday that they had renounced their rights to Shaun Livingston (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3821), the recuperating guard who is an unrestricted free agent, and four other players.
The other players are Dan Dickau (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3625), Boniface Ndong, Smush Parker (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3662) and James Singleton (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=4055).
Livingston, taken by Los Angeles as the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft, hasn't played since injuring his left knee in a game on Feb. 26, 2007.
The Clippers declined to give him a $5.8 million qualifying offer this summer.
According to the NBA collective bargaining agreement, a renounced player no longer counts toward team salary, so teams use renouncement to gain additional cap room. A team can still re-sign such a player, but the team must either have enough salary cap room to fit the salary, or sign the player using the minimum salary exception.
After renouncing a player, a team also can trade him in a sign-and-trade agreement.


Also, I'm betting a Josh Smith offer comes soon.

Posey to the Hornets.

I assume Posey is going to start there...he's better than both Mo-Pete and Julian Wright...

Wow, the Hornets. I didn't see that coming.

Not much.

Wow, the Hornets. I didn't see that coming.

They were one of two teams at the top of his list (boston being the other). I think it's a great move for him. Hornets are on the rise and he can have the same role there on a younger team.

Not to be confused with:

Allan Houston will play in the Suns' September voluntary games to see where his comeback try stands.

Houston and Hill, together again.

Their games will suffer without Cleaves feeding them the ball. Nash will do his best, but...

Maybe they could dust off Jon Crotty to run with those two instead.
