Anthony Tolliver has been contacted for Novak's backup plan.
I think he is a very under rated player, when given minutes he has produced.
He is a legit defender, good rebounder, runs the floor well, good defender, and good versatility, capable of playing SF/PF/C.

Don't know much about Tolliver but if he is healthy I'd rather have him at $2M than Novak at similar.

The only thing I know about Tolliver is he takes inappropriate knee rubs well!

P.S. - LOL at Luke Ridnour eating his own boogers!

How can you say that without knowing much about Tolliver? Or, do you just really dislike Novak?

I agree. I would like this addition.

Wolves are telling UFA Anthony Tollliver they're interested in re-signing him after they make other moves.

The unrestricted free-agent center, Marcus Camby, has narrowed his choices to the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, and the Dallas Mavericks, a league source told CSNNW.com.

Nuggets agree to re-sign guard Andre Miller to a three-year deal, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

The Raptors are currently going all-out to sign Steve Nash. Toronto has offered Nash a three-year deal worth $36 million, sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein. But if Nash, who is also considering Phoenix, New York, Dallas and Brooklyn, rejects Toronto's offer, the Raptors may turn their attention toward Lin. The Knicks can offer Lin a four-year deal worth $24.5 million. But an opposing team can offer Lin a poison pill that could go as high as $40 million over four years. Such a contract would pay Lin $5 million in each of the first two years and then go as high as $15 million in each of the last two years. Toronto, Dallas and Brooklyn have all expressed interest in Lin, according to sources, though he is a backup plan for each of the clubs.

Proposed Knicks & Suns sign-&-trade: Steve Nash to NY for Landry Fields, Toney Douglas, Dan Gadzuric, Jerome Jordan & $3 mil - Paul Coro

I got to admit that NY-Suns deal, I would take in a second. Even with the doubts I have of LiNash working, I have to take that deal on talent alone and not really giving up anyone vital to the team.
MattSuspect @ 7/2/2012 4:32 PM
Yeah, definitely have to make that trade if it's basically just landry for nash. Just hope it doesn't impede lin's development, but you have to do it.
matt @ 7/2/2012 5:31 PM
He's also really good at getting dunked on by Stoudemire, so there's that

In statement, Lin says: "It was such an incredible honor to be selected, but I have withdrawn ... because of my status as a free agent."

No surprise, he did the same thing last season. He is about business ans has to protect what he is selling.

Seems to me like they are preparing to throw Dwight a welcome home party after next season.

Hawks might buy Morrow out. Hello 2 guard.
