To lose that tool in today's world of free agency is a difficult thing to do. In this day and age, the sign-and-trade is a valuable tool that I don't want to lose for Devean.</i> I'm not sure Devean has to worry so much about free agency anymore.

I’m not sure Devean has to worry so much about free agency anymore.

Wow. Well, thanks to Devean George, Kidd will still be playing for the East. Wow.

Although he stated he wasn't completely sure about that. And for what it's worth, I agree with the Collison and Diaw picks. Dampier only brings sadness.

As long as Shaq is on the bench, Diaw is money, and even then, he's going to be good. Nenad is still part of the crowded NJ front court, competing with Josh Boone and Sean Williams, so I don't see him getting that much more time unless he starts Ballin Outta Control. @terrance, I’m going with Diaw.

More importantly, Shaq isn't on Miami anymore, but they're still replaying Atlanta as though he hadn't fouled out. Mind Fork! I would stick with Collison. I really don't see how much Dampier can really improve. I mean, dude had 1 good season 4 seasons ago and everyone keeps waiting for him to do it again. Tell you what, I'll draft him onto at least one team next season if he ends up higher than Collison on the GMTR Player Rater at the end of the season.
