By clearing cap space the past two years, Thunder general manager Sam Presti has flexibility that should benefit him in free agency. While it was disappointing to not land Chandler, the Thunder could sign an up-and-coming player like Knicks big man David Lee, Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge, Atlanta’s Marvin Williams, the Lakers’ Lamar Odom or Utah’s Paul Millsap. Other free agents this summer include: Mike Bibby, Raymond Felton, Andre Miller, Linas Kleiza, Leon Powe, Charlie Villanueva and slam dunk champion Nate Robinson. It’s doubtful Presti would sign an aging All-Star. But some team will commit valuable cap space to Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Ron Artest and Rasheed Wallace. Oklahoman

Thats even worse

cuz LMA still leaves plus you die.

And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.

If LMA leaves

I’m gonna lose my respect for him.

B-Roy is not the next Kobe/LeBron/Jordan, He's just Brandon Roy, the natural, amazing B-Roy. The Blazers need a B-Roy, not a Kobe, LeBron, or a Michael Jordan.

OKC lost any cred, when it renigged on the Chandler trade they do not have the intestinal fortitude to put a championship calibur roster together . I think we will see them fold under salery restrictions and the luxery tax before they put together a legit contender.

I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.

""If I'm playing this game to get media and attention, I shouldn't be here," Aldridge said. "I'm here to play basketball, and do what I can do to help this team win."
