This is interesting, because this was a S&T with Portland.  They did this using NJ's trade exemtion they got in the KMart deal last yera, and it expires next week.  If they can't gte the physical finalized by next week, then the trade exemption expires, which means if NJ wants to sign him, they will have to use the MLE.  They have used $3 million of that on Jeff McInnis, meaning Shareef is going from $28 Million over 6 years to about $12 million over 5 years.
A third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.

A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself.

Plot thickens as SAR is miffed at failed physical.  Says he now wants to go to another team.
