Banking, for starters.
If anyone would get my sarcasm, I thought it would be you, Indy.
What is Sarver's main business?

Blake Griffin suspended 4 games
So once he is healthy, he will be suspended 4 games, but docked pay for 5. For the next 6 weeks while he is recovering from breaking his shooting hand on a trainers face, he will get paid in full. Wonderful. Great lessons all around.

I just spent a good chunk of time watching Nash era Suns highlights. Found full video of game 5 western conference finals against Spurs in 2005. Kinda heartbreaking to watch us lose again but crazy to see how good Amare was. Duncan couldn't guard him.

Interesting article about how the Lakers approached the Cavs about a Kobe-LeBron trade in 2007. Link is below, but check out what Kobe said about the possibility of leaving LA since he had a no-trade clause:
"I never would've approved it. Never. The trade to go to Cleveland? Never," Bryant told Holmes. "That wasn't one of the teams that was on my list. It was Chicago, San Antonio [or] Phoenix."

How long before KAT is considered the best C in the league?
That KAT/Dieng combo has looked quite good.
I really wanted Dieng

This scares me. The last thing we need is an all star on the market. Sarver might delude himself into thinking Howard could be our savior.

Agreed, no quick fixes for this disaster area.

I'd only trade Chandler with Kieff for DHow provided we let him walk as a FA and open up the capspace.

Would he start to pull us out of our free fall? If so, I might to say, "Pass!", although I love the cap space idea. Just can't hand over a loaded firearm to an idiot who's only too eager to unload the weapon asap no matter when or where.

Dwight's knee is messed up. They have been worried he needs microfracture for some time now. Only the Snus could be that stupid.

No thanks to D-Ho.
At this point he is more reputation than an actual star. Look up his advanced stats on defense. Contests way fewer shots than he should and doesn't disrupt things as much as he used to. Still an elite rebounder but the character issues, limitations on offense and the monster contract he'll command make it an easy pass to me. Chandler is also a has been on that regard, but has not the primadonna attitude and it's pre inflation money.

Yea but 2 months of sucking and getting out from Kieff and Chandler's deals? And I'm a fan of chandler, but if we can get a re-do on that front I'd take it. Again, nothing long term for Dwight, let him get his touches and play every other game like normal and then wave him goodbye on July 1st.
