Which remaining FA intrigues you most?

[thunderc]

Not sure what's going on. I read somewhere that Kidd had a "weird hate" for the guy, but it didn't give any detail.

Even with the crap defense, you'd think someone would offer more than a vet min just for his offense.

I seem to recall there were some instances of him being a problem in Atlanta, can’t remember specifics.

A bit ridiculous someone can get a 17.7 almost 8 rebound a game guy maybe for the vet minimum. Wood must be a real idiot.

Oubre and Warren are 2 scorers who would be good 7th or 8th guys on a good team....

He never played for the Hawks.

Wood's career numbers are 15ppg and 7rpg....

Yeah I got it mixed up with Houston. He isn’t known as a good locker room guy or he would probably have a deal.

It's wild....few years ago he averaged 21ppg and 9rpg for Houston.

Yeah, it's weird. There seems to be something, but I can't find anything specific. The only thing close to an explanation that I have seen was the comment in an article that said Kidd had a "weird hate" for him but said nothing about why.

Perhaps he is just a cancer in the locker room, that was the rumor in Houston.

Went with Nowell, in large part because I believe pure scorers are under appreciated today. Whereas the secret is out on guys like Wood and Washington which is why they are unsigned.

It would be a very un-Nuggets move to make, but Nowell is considerably more talented than Christian Braun. Braun is just the more natural born winner…

Nowell needs to prove he is a pure scorer. He was trash last year...my apologies to trash.

He doesn't seem to be able to stick anywhere either. This guy must be a horrible locker room presence. Rumor is that several Lakers don't want him Pelinka to sign him.

These new Dallas S&T rumors involving Vando are ludicrous. Hell to the no. Just sign Giles.

Yeah....no way we should trade Vandy for him. Just offer the vet minimum.

His name was just thrown out there because he has a smallish tradeable contract, but it's just annoying to see people try to make it a real rumor lol.

Everywhere that guy goes he is a fan favorite, but no team ever commits. I don't think his contract will be so cheap next time, maybe when he is paid inline with his skills he won't be a hot potato anymore

He's going to be a big question next summer. He's great at his current contract value, but how much does he command in free agency and how much will the Lakers be willing to commit to a player that doesn't hold a lot of offensive value currently? I could see him being potentially being included in a trade again, but not for Wood who's only getting league min offers. Trading a guy who's worth is more than his current contract for a free agent S&T that is trying to avoid a vet min contract is just silly.

Vando and Rui are both working with Coach Handy this summer to improve their skills, with Vando notably working on that corner 3. If he can become more reliable with that shot, he's much more usable on the offensive end and will further grow his earning potential.
