    If we can get Odom for the midlevel, that would be huge and could really put us back on the level with LA. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

    I'd love Marvin Williams and/or Hakim Warrick, but it seems like those teams will end up matching any offer. Marquis Daniels would be pretty fantastic guard depth, about 6'6 and can run the point, like a (very) poor man's LeBron.

    Frye, Bass and Diogu would all be pretty good forward depth. Not thrilled about Linas Kleiza, I think I'd rather have McCants.

    So, just to show people like me there's still plenty of options and no need to panic yet.

    Millsap looks to be going to POR for 4/32M, while the Lakers seem to be dicking around with Odom (he wants 8 per, Lakers offering 6).

    Why not have gone after either of these guys instead of Varejao?

    We're over the salary cap. We're allowed to re-sign our own players (including Varejao) for any amount, but can't pay free agents more than the midlevel exception, about $5.6M.

    As for Wally and Joe Smith... I want Smith but wouldnt mind keeping both.

    I still can't see any reason for bringing back Wally for anything other than the veteran minimum. Joe, eh...wouldn't really care either way.

    Didn't see any mention of this anywhere, but apparently the cavs are interested in another Raptor...

    The Raptors signed Jarret Jack, too. College roommates and supposedly best friends with Bosh. He's definitely overpaying (Turkoglu, Calderon, and Bargnani will all make about $10M/year), but I really think Colangelo knows what he's doing and will hang onto Bosh. Not like the Raps of the 90s.

    Like I've said, I can't stand Turkoglu and seeing how fast he bailed on an NBA Finals team makes him look even worse. I understand him wanting to get the big money, but he's not a guy I want on my team, and I'm sure Vince will be a fine replacement for Orlando.

    I'd still love to give the rest of our exception to Marquis Daniels. Gives us depth for PG, SG, and SF. Great insurance policy, and he's good enough to start.

    Windhorst is reporting our target now is Rob Kurz, which might be okay unless we're playing Denver in the finals.

    The Cleveland Cavaliers have continued their offseason remodeling by signing restricted free agent Jamario Moon to an offer sheet, according to NBA front-office sources.

    Although the full details of the offer sheet are unlikely to be known until Monday, when the contract is submitted to the league office, sources told ESPN.com that the deal Moon signed Friday spans at least two years.

    The Miami Heat will have seven days to match the offer once it's formally processed, but Cleveland would appear to have a good chance of landing Moon given Miami's well-chronicled desire to avoid new contracts longer than one year to protect its 2010 salary-cap space.

    There are exceptions to that policy, as evidenced by Miami's well-chronicled attempts to sign Lamar Odom away from the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat, though, have multiple players at Moon's position -- Daequan Cook, James Jones and Yakhouba Diawara -- even if they don't land Odom, raising doubts about their ability to keep him.

    Yes, please.

    He's not Bruce Bowen, but a pretty good defender in the Josh Smith mold...weak-side blocks, intercepting passes. With his length and athleticism, Mike Brown better be able to make him work.

    And this from Windhorst's twitter about the signability...

    #Cavs are poaching here at bit, Heat protecting cap space and have an offer out to Lamar Odom. Cavs have a fair shot at success with it.
