It would give them 2 things they need -- a jolt to the offense, since TMac won't play. TMac is currently an expiring, so they're just swapping expiring contracts.
They're not necessarily looking longterm since they're performing decently now anyway, without TMac and Yao.
I'm kinda excited about this one, but woulda preferred the Manny fight.
makes you wonder, though why Manny would not allow the extra blood testing... makes you go hmmmm???
