Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning on with Ahmad Rashad. Ahmad asks GP who is his NBA player of the week. Paytons answer: Kevin Durant. I often wonder if they know each other, Durant having played in Seattle last year and GP still has a lot of ties to the area. Regardless, it's great to get the endorsement of a likely hall of famer. BTW JJ Redick gets 2.8 next year and 3.8 the year after which is his qualifying offer. Just under 5 mil owed: http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-player-salaries/team/Magic/ Watson has 6.2 and 6.6 = 12.8. We have a trade exception the way I understand it for about a million or so, but we would have to take back somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 million in other contracts if we went Earl for JJ. I just really don't see anybody on the roster we would want. Brian Cook's numbers match, but he is a really redundant on the forward heavy Thunder. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-player-salaries/team/Thunder/ Watching NBA tv on the pre game just now.

Apparently he is selling his valuable wine collection because he is in such economic distress. I hope he doesn't have to sell his share of the Thunder! What would we do without Chesapeake as a sponsor??? This site won’t let me post links, but did you guys see the Wall St Journal article about Aubrey McClendon today??

Every championship team has a lights out 3 point threat coming off the bench. He's young and inexpensive, does one thing, and does it well. If the price was right I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

They might be more willing now though... But, Does He (JJ) fit what we're trying to do longer term?... A shooter sure would be nice to have... especially at the 2.

His only problem is that he's not a quality defender, especially at the two, but I'd take him for Earl Watson straight up for sure. We need someone to hit a three off the bench, and we know J.J. can shoot. More reason that J.J. is expendable.
