Am I full of crap? We'll see. But I am not just making this up.
As for disappearing: I have a wife and kids. We had some dinner, we did some homework, now the kids are in bed, and I'm back.
All I can say is that I do have a source. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Maybe another team will step up with a better offer. But the Clippers offer is real, and the Sixers were ready to take it.
Because of Cassell's trade restriction, the deal could not happen until Dec. 15 (which it is on the East coast now). But that also left the window open for other offers from other teams.
At this point, I am like all of you. Waiting and hoping that this happens.
I am nervous about Dwyer's post on True Hoop. He's obviously well-connected. And just because I don't think a Denver deal makes sense, doesn't mean they're not out there sweetening the pot.
At this point, I just want it to be over. The team is a wreck, and will be until Iverson and Maggette are both traded, for each other or not.
