I'm sure Brad Stevens wouldn't know how to tank being from a college background.

Guy needs more playing time and positive atmosphere. Does he get that in Sac?

Mary Schmitt Boyer/Jodie Valade: Varejao added he thinks the way LeBron left was "wrong," but team is over it and not concerned with trying to lure him back. #Cavs Twitter @PDcavsinsider - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.oNSwI3HP.dpuf

Carlos Boozer's big contract expires after 2014-15, and he will make $16.8 million the final year. It will be tough to move his deal and get what they want in return. The Bulls could always amnesty Boozer in the offseason, but their philosophy on that has always been: "Where else are we going to get 17 points and eight rebounds a game?" Guard Jimmy Butler is an asset, but the Bulls aren't interested in moving him. USA Today Sports - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.oNSwI3HP.dpuf

I think so, kings will be more willing to experiment with different lineups. Cousins I believe is their only player who has locked down a position, Williams should get some time at the 3 and 4 I believe.

I really like him. Was hoping it would be a different team though.
Don't know much about coach Malone other than he worked under Monty Williams and Mark Jackson. Hope he gives him a good shot.

Ah, doesn't sound too bad actually

Sacramento provides more than just a change of scenery. The original starter at small forward, John Salmons, lost the job and his replacement, Mbah a Moute, was just traded, creating a clear path for Williams if he is able to capitalize. Based on work to date, though, that’s obviously a big if.




Career 10+pts 5reb average but a sudden drop in minutes last season. Adelman issues?
Some great double double games last season, Feb/March was a great stretch for him.

Speculation over LeBron James’ future continues to build both inside and outside the NBA. Anderson Varejao fueled the discussion Tuesday when he said he believed James could play for the Cavaliers again someday. “It could happen,” said Varejao, the last remaining link to the James-led Cavs teams. “Bron is from Akron. Akron is not too far from here. Eventually in his career, he probably wants to play at home.” Then unprovoked, the normally quiet Varejao said he didn’t like the way James left the Cavs via the one-hour television special three years ago. “I think the way he left was wrong,” Varejao said. “But regardless … he helped me a lot, helped my game and helped me as a person. I have nothing against him. It could happen.” Akron Beacon - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.0ekIVdmT.dpuf
