Glad Shannon is back. That most likely puts the final touches on our offseason. I didn't think we could, but we got better.

Now that's shannons back, I'm sure every other player is "out of the picture" as far as FA goes......we have 12 spots filled, and 2 open for the rookies
Any other players we bring in from here on out will be just camp invitees

I just realized Ratliff and Shaq both signed for the minimum. We could have gotten Shaq and had him retire a Laker. Oh well...
And Portland is going to want more for Rudy than Sasha and a first rounder. Plus, other players would have to be involved because the salaries don't match up.

Actually Shaq would probably pay the team to let him come back, but Kobe and Dr.Buss aint having that

Just a thought.. i know they are in the same division, but I figure since other teams aren't budging then why not POR take an expiring contract and our 1st rounder. don't know how much more value they can expect.
anyways i'm expecting sasha will have a standout contract year, that or his expiring contract will have great trade value if needed around the all star break.

i wonder how much we're going to give ebanks and character, the minimum minimum? as in like 490K or whatever that is?
Hey...a contract is a contract tho, 490k is still better than 10 years income from NBDL.

Obama shoots hoops with NBA greats

President Obama jokes with Chicago Bulls players Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose.
The Swamp
by Mike Memoli
Talk about a "Dream Team."
President Obama shot hoops Sunday with some NBA superstars, a combination late birthday present and a showcase for some wounded warriors and participants in the White House mentoring project.
The guest list included some of pro basketball's greatest players, both past and present: LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Magic Johnson and Bill Russell, to name a few. One woman, Maya Moore of the UConn Huskies, was on the list released to the press today as well.
According to pool reporter, no press was allowed in to see the game, so we can't be sure whether the pros took it easy on their commander in chief. But a White House photographer was likely on hand for the game, which took place at Fort McNair.
Obama, who marked his 49th birthday in Chicago on Wednesday at a dinner that included Oprah Winfrey, was set for yet another celebration today at the White House -- a barbecue with family, friends and staff.
The full guest list is after the jump.

I know I'm in the minority, but I wish Shaq could come back. He burned bridges, but no matter how poorly behaved he is/was, he won us a dynasty. We are the team that defines his career, and it's only right that players of his magnitude are able to come home one last time.
That being said, I'm still very much pleased with Ratliff.
