Warrick Agrees To Sign With Bucks

Jul 31, 2009 12:41 PM

Hakim Warrick has agreed to terms with the Milwaukee Bucks.  The athletic 6-9 Warrick can play both forward spots and figures to log heavy minutes in Milwaukee.

The Cavs and Sixers were also pursuing Warrick.  

The Bucks are nearing the luxury tax threshold but still have the rights to restricted free-agent Ramon Sessions.  The Knicks are reportedly close to offering Sessions some part of their mid-level exception in a multi-year deal.  The Bucks would have 10 days to match.

Source: 76ers Talking To Warrick

Jul 31, 2009 7:20 AM

The 76ers are believed to be among two or three teams negotiating with free agent forward Hakim Warrick, according to a source.

Philadelphia is offering Warrick a one-year deal, as they have been with all free agent targets this summer.

Warrick became an unrestricted free agent last week after the Grizzlies rescinded their qualifying offer to the 19th overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.

In addition to the 76ers, the Bucks and Cavaliers are rumored to have interest in signing Warrick.

Magic No Longer Favorites For Watson

Jul 26, 2009 8:54 PM

Less than a week after C.J. Watson expressed interest in joining the Magic, it seems that the team is no longer the front-runner to acquire the point guard.



In a text message to RealGM's Alex Kennedy, Watson indicated that there is no longer a favorite for his services and that he could end up anywhere.



"Whichever team best fits me and will give me a chance to play is where me and my agents have to decide," added Watson.



The Magic, who just signed forward Matt Barnes, do not have the money to extend a significant offer sheet to Watson. Golden State would match any offer within Orlando's spending limit, according to sources.



While sign-and-trade talks are ongoing, if a deal cannot be worked out then Watson must turn to his attention to other teams.



Philadelphia and New York are among several teams that have shown interest and returning to Golden State remains an option.

Miller Didn't Feel Philly's Offer Was Fair

Jul 25, 2009 4:43 PM

Andre Miller weighed in on his decision to sign with the Trail Blazers in an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News.

Miller signed a two-year deal with Portland worth $14 million with a team option for a third season.

"I had to weigh my options," the point guard said of leaving the 76ers. "The offer they threw out there, I didn't feel was fair for me."

Philadelphia didn't have much interest in signing Miller for longer than a one-year deal at the mid-level exception of $5.8 million.

"It was a tough situation [with the Sixers] due to the market. Philadelphia had to make some decisions and they stuck with their decision ... I accomplished my goals while I was there, to help the team get better, get to the playoffs," Miller added.

Sixers Withdraw Offer To Andre Miller

Jul 24, 2009 8:08 AM

The 76ers have withdrawn their one-year offer to free-agent point guard Andre Miller, according to a source familiar with the club.

Philadelphia made the move because they don't believe Miller wants a one-year deal. There have been multiple reports that the Knicks and Blazers have serious interest in the point guard.

It has long been believed that Miller is done with the 76ers, and the withdrawal of the offer appears to make it just one step closer.
