sactownroyalty.com 7/1/2008 —
Sam Amick is reporting that Beno Udrih has accepted that $32 million, five-year deal from the Kings. As I said in my long analysis of why exactly Beno shouldn't be getting the full mid-level for five years from Sacramento, I'm not mad at this. I'm ...

His astute agent, Kevin Bradbury, is saying all the right things. It's the way you play the free-agent wheel of fortune. How Duhon wants to play on an up-and-coming team like Orlando's.

Who will I incessantly rip on now?
blogabull.com 7/7/2008 — Matt waxes vitriolic on the end of the Chris Duhon Era in Chicago:
"Duhon gets praised as a 'pass-first' point guard. But he's not 'pass first'. He's 'ass first'. His most preferred style of play is to play like ass. Then pass, then shoot. Oftentimes never getting to that third one, crippling your offensive flow, and ticking me off."

Posting and Toasting
Chris Duhon is now a Knick, jersey and all. It appears that our newest addition will be donning the #1. Perhaps he'll follow in the footsteps of our last Chris to wear #1, Chris Childs, and contribute some hard-nosed defense and apt point guard play. Maybe he'll also thrash Kobe Bryant's face at some point. Those are big shoes to fill.

Quick note piggybacking on Coup's post below... Why Duhon went to the Knicks? I think it's pretty simple and the answer itself is another question. Riddle me this....What PG in their right mind would not want to start for Mike D'Antoni? Even if he doesn't bring over the same exact offense with the Suns, it's clear that PG's play a main role in a D'Antoni team. For Chris Duhon this is the ...
