No one wants Rip's contract.Originally Posted by JapanAir21
I'm surprised no one is quick to get Rip right now. The dude can still get his shot off, and if on the right team, he can still be a game-changer.
I wish the Mavericks would go after him for the right price. I'd give up DeShawn and whatever else to get him.
He could definitely help teams like LAL or Dallas who are either in need of a SG, or a scorer off the bench.

-From both contacts in front offices, they confirmed it was true thatHornets were among the most active, but their assets aren't very valuedaround the league. Teams are interested in first round picks and theHornets don't have one this year and aren't willing to give upunprotected future picks. Several teams are interested in anunprotected 2013 or 2014 pick from the Hornets (because they assume CP3 isgoing to leave), but Demps is not willing to do that right now.
- Antawn Jamison will not be bought out. I am told by someone I trustmore than I trust myself that the chance of that happening is "lessthan zero."
- Demps would feverishly go after Murphy and might even be willing tonegotiate multiple years if Murphy was open to it. The question iswhether Murphy would choose the Hornets over teams that most believehave a better chance of competing this year.
- Offer for JR Smith would include either Marco or MT5, depending onDenver's preference. Will only happen after Denver has agreed ontrading Melo, if at all.
I don't know that any of those would help anything. I guess Troy Murphy for cheap couldn't hurt.

Is this unique to NT so I can say..."Only on NT?"
I'm workin on it.........
I'm trying to see if I can get ONE single thread to be allowed, within S&T that would be a general thread for people to post in. Movies, TV, Books, Cars, whatever.

ehh to be honest for 2 years and $25 mill thats not bad for Rip since he can still ball. I think he will get dealt at the trade deadline.Originally Posted by PMatic

Rip in Chicago would be dope. I'm not sure he can spread the floor as much as the Bulls would like though.
I always found it funny how Rip signed that extension the day before Chauncey got traded.He's gone on record saying he wouldn't have signed it had he known Chauncey was going to be dealt.
