Brand to Warriors and other Nba Rumours

Goldenstate fresh off of losing PG Baron Davis has offered Brand a monster contract, a five year deal worth in the 85 to 90 million range, this is substatntially more than the Clippers can offer, approx 20 million. This move certainly signals that the Warriors must believe that Gilbert Arenas is going to sign and stay in Washington as they had also offered Arenas a max deal. Gerald Green dunk contest phenom and straight from high school player has signed a one year deal with the Mav's, Gerald has moved around alot and is seen to have Tmac like potential but as yet has come no where close to living up to it. James Posey is being pursued by Boston, Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit after opting out. Corey Magette is getting several looks, teams that have contact him include, Orlando, Boston, Utah, San Antonio and Miami, he personally would love to go back to Orlando and the team plans to offer a mult-year deal at their mid-level exception. Other teams may be able to offer Corey a little more money so it will be interesting how this plays out. Tyronn Lue chose Dallas over Phoenix last year when he was waived by Sacramento; Phoenix wanted the PG then and they want him now, Steve Kerr is trying to get the player signed to backup Nash. Jarvis Hayes is being pursued by both the Suns and the Spurs; he is thought to have a game much like James Posey, can score, can defend and makes good decisions with the ball. Chris Duhon, has met with the Knicks and has scheduled a visit with Orlando I'd look for a decision by mid-week. Brent Barry is high on both the Suns and Lakers free-agency wish lists. Ron Artest believes he made a mistake not opting out, speaking very candidly on the subject yesterday, I'd look for him to get moved, he has an expiring contract and some value. Josh Smith is meeting with Philly today to talk about possibly signing there.
