[Primetime]

Aaron Brooks is an unrestricted free agent. Suns withdrew their qualifying offer. Wonder if the Suns could sign him and make him a piece of a sign and trade with the Hornets for Eric Gordon.

NOLA should take it if the Suns run it by them.

[Argath]

He won't though the Magic will end up dealing to either the Nets or the Rockets.

From what I've read everywhere so far, Lakers are in the lead to get him because they can offer the most in return. If Bynum agrees to sign an extension, it's pretty much a done deal. Dwight has already said he'd sign an extension in LA IIRC

[Len B]

Courtney Lee in serious talks with Boston.

Michael Smith @undecided
Hornets reportedly working on sign and trade w/ Orlando for Ryan Anderson. Big-time move. They're really trying to do it big in the Big Easy

Ryan Anderson and big time don't go together.

Ryan Anderson and big time don't go together.

He led the league in three pointers last year.

Sorry but I don't want my PF shooting 3's.

Even if he is making them more than anyone else? Points are points.

If he's shooting that many 3's, that means he's away from the basket away from rebounds.

Now he doesn't have Dwight picking up the slack for him.

Exactly.

Having a guy like Dwight, or Bynum down on the block will allow you to play your PF further from the basket. Can't do that without a banger down low.

Dirk?

[Kuzzy Powers]

He still managed nearly 8RPG playing mostly around the 3 point line. Hes really improved his game with steady minutes and is as wet as it gets for a big man in the league.
