 Mo Evans Picks Hawks Over Warriors
Mo Evans Picks Hawks Over Warriors
Remember how we reported that Maurice Evans signed with the Warriors ? Yeah, scratch that, it never happened. He considered Golden State's three-year, $6.4 million offer but ultimately passed, which is one reason why the Warriors proceeded to keep Kelenna Azubuike from jumping ship to the Clippers.

This is the end ... there is no more
How much of a drag does five games in five days become? By Friday, virtually every NBA general manager had vacated the premises at the Orlando Pro Summer League. With the gym already closed to the public, the three-game schedule, including the Heat's 74-69 loss to the Magic, was an eerie spectacle.

Shooting guard Mickael Pietrus was asked if co-captain Dwight Howard had reached out to him yet and welcomed him to the Orlando Magic.
