Another wing scorer off the board. I believe the only left are Jamal Crawford, JR Smith, Rip Hamilton, and thats basically it.

honestly surprised he didn't go to Chicago.  Orlando must be making the this deal under the premise this will help convince Dwight to stay.

Yes, I think this is a good point. I saw him headed to Chicago. Chicago must be pretty far along with either Crawford or Rip.

I had the same thought -- Chicago must be chasing one of those guys but I saw Richardson as their best option.  Crawford's a chucker and Rip is nearing the end of his career.  Richardson's a more consistent player on offense than Crawford (IMO) and he's got more left than Rip

Appearently, the Bulls prefer Rip Hamilton because Rip will sign a two year deal instead of the four years that Jason Richardson is demanding.

How do Orlando year after year manage to resign all their players?

I mean there way over the cap, I just dont get it. They did it with Redick, They gave Rashard Lewis all that money, They Paid Gortat too

I mean the list goes on and on
