Timberwolves waive C Greg Stiemsma.

[Who]

Zaza Pachulia signed for Milwaukee for $15.6 million over 3 years.

Wow, great deal for Pachulia. Tony Allen should hire Pachulia's agent.

Why the heck do the Bucks need Zaza? They have enough good big men as is.

PF - Ersan Ilyasova, John Henson, Drew Gooden (plus maybe some Mbah a Moute too)
 C - Larry Sanders, Zaza Pachulia, Epke Udoh

They must be unconvinced about Udoh or Henon's ability to play minutes at the center position which is fair enough. Both guys are liable to being overpowered at that position. Naturally big forwards rather than centers.

They need to tidy up that big man depth. Some good talent (reserve quality) is going a waste there. Gooden/Henson and Udoh are too good to be third stringers. They have no depth on the perimeter yet. Probably can't move Gooden and Henson is too intriguing to give up at this point. Maybe they should trade Udoh for a perimeter guy.

[Who]

Randy Foye got $9 million over 3 years from Denver. It became part of a sign and trade for Iguodala to GSW and Biedrins plus RJ to Utah.

[Who]

Will Bynum got two years $5.75 million to stay in Detroit.

I would have loved to have seen Danny Ainge sign W.Bynum to that contract here.

[SparzWizard]

Lamar Odom close to signing with the LA Lakers according to Yahoo sources.

Uh oh.

Gooden is a prime amnesty candidate, I think.

But it seems Milwaukee has one C too many. Perhaps one heads out in a potential Jennings-Teague swap with ATL?

Well, they have now traded Mbah for picks, so that has been cleared up

[TeamGreen.dm]

Psycho-T looks like he found his new home in Toronto and Birdman Birdman Birdman re-signs with the Heat

[PhoSita]

I'm looking forward to the day when the analytics movement has taken a firm hold across the entire league and a guy like Monta Ellis is lucky to get mini-MLE money.

Well until then it looks as if he'll get a JR Smith like contract from the Mavs

[SparzWizard]

Toney Douglas and Jermaine O'Neal, signed to the Golden State Warriors.

[lightspeed5]

jermaine o neal is still tricking teams into signing him? haha his agent must be really good

[Lucky17]

Monta Ellis is unhappy that he's not getting big contract offers. So what does he do? He fires his agent:

Having rejected a contract extension from the Milwaukee Bucks that would have enabled him to make $36 million over the next three years, he is hoping to make $40 million over four years.

Good luck with that, Monta.

The Breakfast Klub is a great place to eat. Always packed but it's worth standing in line for. Think I might go tomorrow.
