see Leon Powe is in talks with the Cavs.

so Cavs will most likely pick him up which is a bit of a loss and a cheap gain for Cleveland.

I forgot Ray Allen as well

Yeah the Celtics do have a great lineup and i have always liked House coming off the bench too sink some big 3's. This guy must and i mean must be in the 3 point contest this year.

Pg: Rondo, House
Sg: Allen
Sf: Pierce
Pf: Garnett, Davis
C: Wallace

Didnt we sign Marqi Daniels or something?

House is the most overrated 3pt shooter I've ever seen. Every time I've seen him take a shot when the pressure is on he airballs it. That's a very, very solid starting 5 though.

So apparently Al Iverson is going to the Knicks he has said on Twitter!

Ricky Rubio's Spanish pro team has agreed to trade his rights to Regal FC Barcelona in a deal that will prevent the 18-year-old point guard from joining the Minnesota Timberwolves for two years, according to two internet reports.

Yahoosports.com and ESPN.com cited anonymous sources in reports that said DKV Joventut informed Timberwolves vice president of basketball operations David Kahn on Monday night of the agreement, dashing the team's hopes that Rubio would be in the United States this fall.

The Timberwolves selected Rubio with the fifth pick in the June draft. Kahn was aware that Rubio was under contract with DKV Joventut for the next two years and said he would be fine waiting for a season, or even two, before the prodigy comes to Minnesota.

But Kahn made three trips to Spain in hopes of negotiating down an $8 million buyout that would allow Rubio to join the Timberwolves this season, bringing some excitement and pizzazz to a team, and a ticket box office, that sorely needs both right now.

NBA rules limit the Timberwolves to contributing just $500,000 toward the buyout, meaning Rubio was on the hook for the remaining $7.5 million himself. The steep price tag has been the main reason for his hesitation to leave his homeland and realize his dream of playing in the NBA right away.

Under his agreement with the Regal Barcelona, according to the reports, is a stipulation that would allow him to leave after the 2010-11 European season without having to pay a buyout.

The Associated Press left messages for Kahn, who was in Spain, and Rubio's agent, Dan Fegan, seeking comment.

Kahn has spent the last two months doing a dance with Joventut and Rubio's agents to try and secure his services for the upcoming season, so this news no doubt comes as a disappointment.

But he covered himself nicely in the draft, selecting Syracuse point guard Jonny Flynn right behind Rubio with the No. 6 pick. At the time, the move raised eyebrows.

what a waste of a draft pick 4 minn but flynn's a good player anywayz.

While the NBA world waited Friday on a decision from Allen Iverson about his future, other teams began cleaning up their rosters in anticipation for the beginning of training camps in three-plus weeks.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, fresh off being rejected by first-round pick Ricky Rubio this week, moved quickly to acquire the best young point remaining on the market, agreeing to terms with Bucks restricted free agent guard Ramon Sessions on a four-year, $16 million offer sheet. Milwaukee will have seven days to match but will not, according to a league source.

The offer sheet has a fourth-year player option.

The 23-year-old Sessions will compete with rookie Jonny Flynn, the Wolves' other top pick, for the starting point guard spot. Flynn looked to be the starter once Rubio decided to spurn Minnesota's offer and agree to a transfer from his old club, DKV Joventut, to Barcelona. Barcelona agreed to pay off Rubio's $5 million buyout, but his new contract with that team will allow him to come to the NBA in two years at a much reduced rate.

Asked if Sessions's potential arrival in Minnesota changes the team's belief that Rubio will still come stateside in the summer of 2011, or its interest in keeping its rights to Rubio, Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn texted Friday, "no."

Kahn had said earlier this week in a conference call with local and national reporters that bringing in another point guard one Rubio opted not to come over was a top priority.

Sessions had gotten great attention from both the Knicks and the Clippers, who each tried to swing sign-and-trade deals with Milwaukee for him. But the Clippers made a deal--ironically, with Minnesota--that brought in reserve guard Sebastian Telfair. And the Knicks, fearful of losing cap room for next summer, couldn't come up with a deal that preserved their room and made Sessions happy.
