5 items every morning is about to get very hard, especially after summer league is done
From ESPN: Sources: Ariza leans toward leaving Lakers. Is he going to get overpaid? Maybe not in this market.
Ben Gordon turned down a 5 year $55M deal last year to stay with the Bulls. He's about to sign with Detroit for about the same. He made about $6.5M last year. So he missed out on about $5-6M last year by not signing. Does that make Hamilton expendable? He has 4 more years left on his deal at $12.6 per. He didn't want to come off the bench last year behind Iverson and I don't see that changing. Not a great three-point shooter, but he can hit a jumper.
The answer to #1? It doesn't matter because Sloan wouldn't play either of them.
