This is not a rumor. This is a done deal on July 8th.

Look at my status update from last night.

Money won't buy you rings!

Sign Miller with the full MLE, re-sign Fisher, sign Crittenton, and maybe sign Blake with the vet min.

Blake for the vet min and he can play 15-20 mins.

After Kobe got injured.

Maybe he signs a 2 year deal with a player option for the 2nd year. He can start with the Pacers and if he plays well as the starter for the team, he can opt out for a longer contract and more money next summer.

How can he be past his prime when he played his best basketball of his career last season before the injuries? You guys forgot he was the favorite to win the MVP before the injuries and played extremely well in the first half of the season?

A lot of you guys are so quick to say this is a horrible move by RJ because he gave up $15M, but he has a chance to make more money in the future with a longer contract. RJ opted out because he wants a longer contract and he wants security for his family. What happens if he gets injured next season and has season ending surgery in his contract year? Do you think a team is going to give him a long term contract, if he's coming off a season ending surgery? He can get a multi year deal starting at $7-9M starting next season and get job security. This will probably be his last big contract in his career. He would be trade bait next season with a $15M expiring contract for a team who is looking to trade one of their players for an expiring contract. Pierce and Dirk are doing something similar by opting out of their deals for a long term contract.

Hedo has a better chance of going to the Queens for Dalembert. Teams should stay away from him because he has a horrible contract and a trade kicker.

No, the Bulls would like to trade Deng to the Jazz for Okur, or Orlando for Pietrus and Gortat.
