with 0 logic behind it.

Is there a site where I can keep up with undrafted free agent signings?

[Bob Saccamano]

Yeah, I know- but he's bound to get a title in Cleveland.

As for a site- I don't know of one. I know McNamera and Gansey already have a summer team, though, if for some reason you were curious about them. If you are interested in someone in particular I might know.

I don't think Dials or sullinger have a team yet.

[BuckeyeNation27]

Where's GMac?

And [censored] Gansey

[Bob Saccamano]

Your in luck BN27- I found a list. Here ya go!

Gmac is on Orlando.

EDIT: I didn't know Foster is on the Cavs roster! Cool.

Dials is on Toronto.

Wow. That front office for the Bulls has done absolute wonders in the last couple of years. If they managed to grab KG (which sounds very unlikely), then they are an instant contender, with the additions of him and Wallace. It looks like those years of hell for all Bulls fans may finally be over.

There's no way the Bulls have enough cash left to pick up KG's contract, and if they did They would have to give up too much of their young talent. The Bulls are still going to have to rely on shooting and Gordon driving to the hoop unless Thomas can come in and give them an offensive presence in the paint. They are going to be a bitch to play against with that interior defense.
I hope Lebron will hurry up and agree to his extension so that the Cavs can get active in the FA market. If he waits too long they might miss out on some of the guys they want. Does anyone else think Gooden for Tyson Chandler would be a good move for the Cavs and the Bulls, or do the Cavs need another big man who can score? It sounds like the Cavs will match any offer Gooden gets since they aren't worried about moving him later if they want to.

I really think if Foster can regain his confidence he could easily become a player like Raja Bell. Obviously he will need some time to develope but if he can start knocking the three down again he can be a great bench player. Hes a strong kid that can guard a 1 or most 2's.

As a Bulls fan wouldn't like it. I don't think Gooden would bring that much to the team, plus i like the offer of Chandler for Smith and Brown better, because Chandler has a monster contract and PJ is on the last year of his last large contract. So this would free the Bulls up of a lot of money next year which will be needed because they'll have a few playeras to resign and need the money to sign their once again top 5 draft pick thanks to the Knicks. Gooden cost too much money o be worth the Bulls time for right now.

The bad thing is that the Cavs will most likely not be able to give him another chance because we already have to many wing players.

Hopefully he'll make some noise in the summer league and another team can find him a spot on their roster.

I'd keep Gooden over Chandler. He's a better shooter, just as good a rebounder and he's going to have a more favorable contract, making trading him much easier in the fiture, if necessary. Let Chandler and his 5 points a game stay in Chicago.

Then it's offical exhawg, neither team likes the trade.

[Brutus1]

Yep. You're better off with Smith and Brown.

Actually, you're better off with KG, but I just can't see that happening.

I like what the Bulls did and the Pacers did.
I think Daniels could be a star; I normally like Cuban's moves. Any Dallas or Pacers fans that can make better sense of the trade?

I agree, too. I've always been high on Daniels' potential, and have always been on his badwagon, due to the fact that he made it as an unsigned free agent. What I technically see is the Mavericks trading for a veteran forward that has experience in the playoffs, although the trade does seem a little lopsided, pointing towards Indiana's favor.

If O'Neal is hurt again for the Pacers this year, Daniels could have a breakout season this year, and even with a healthy O'Neal, he might prove to be a quality sidekick for the Pacers.
