Except in Eeurope they would change his name from Billy King into King William, the overly-generous.

I love how Billy tried to give Sammy, Kyle, and Willie the max amount of years from the old CBA, but fortunately the league informed him that they shortened the length of contracts in the new CBA and he had to cut each of their deals down by one year.

this is after he outbid himself, that's King William The Generous for you.

White Chocolate signs with the Clips, effectively ends Livingston's time in LAC.

Francisco Elson to sign two year deal with Milwaukee.

Uh hum... you mean that this signing effectively ends the need for Baron Davis. I do believe we will acquire Davis at the deadline now for a conditional 2nd Rd Pick. :-D

On a serious note, I did read that the Heat have some interest in Livingston. Somewhere, I forget, I read that Livingston may not be able to play all that many minutes this season. I'm interested in seeing how the kid will play and hopefully he makes a solid comeback.

The Sixers are looking to be in the strange position where their starting SG and C are also their best back-up SF and C.  They have decent bench players to fill in at SG and PF when Iguodala and Brand slide over to play C and PF.

I guess that means that the rotations will need to be shorter, and less minutes on the floor together for Young/Iguodala and Sam/Brand since they will be covering for each other.

Courtney Sims to a partially guaranteed deal is what I'm hearing.

Woohoo.

[Derek Bodner]

(like, you, I'm wondering who the hell courtney sims is and why that's the best we could do).

I guess we're going to give Speights every chance to be the first C off the bench.

[jemagee]

well we'll find out about his work ethic/dedication/drive kind of early then i guess

[Derek Bodner]

We do have 2 more roster spots, so maybe he's just a live body for training camp.

3 way deal between bucks cavs and seattle sonics

cavs got mo williams

bucks get damon jones, ridnour and adrian griffin

sonics get joe smith and desmond mason

deck chairs?

[pointguard86]

seems to me that Joe Smith gets traded every single season.  Maybe we can get him again, 3rd time could be the charm.
