Good signing, but...

:zzzzz:

Kind of a slow day...also, when did the Warriors swap CJ Watson to the Bulls for a whopping 2nd round pick? Was he a free agent?

Nah, means Powell is definitely going to the Hawks and Mbenga is almost surely going elsewhere too.

where are they gonna get the money for barnes though?

Subject: Re: LA signs Theo Ratliff for depth Thu Jul 22, 2010 9:12 pm

The leftover MLE money. We've got about $1.7 million left that we didn't spend on Blake. Ratliff was probably signed with the vet's minimum.

yeah, I though the vet. min was like close to a million..

so that means Barnes would have to come for like 900K
