IMO the "QO" will be widely considered this summer

The "Qualifying offer," that is.

With rumors that Ben Gordon may take his, Josh Childress another likely candidate for it, and several others wanting big deals with few willing to give them...

Okafor - Too injury prone to risk it; he'll re-sign with Charlotte or jump to Philly

Gordon - a likely QO'er

Childress - a likely QO'er

Deng - With all the trade rumors and Gordon's uncertainty, Luol with probably give this some thought. Chicago will re-sign him, though.

Iggy - With Philly dropping cargo off the boat to save $, Andre might want to jump ship himself. Not terribly likely, though.

Other possibilities:

Sebastian Telfair, J.R. Smith, Dorrell Wright, Shaun Livingston

IOW, I think there will be quite a few RFA's disappointed in the market, and a few may very well "punt" until 2009.

Thank god Danny Ferry stood up to Varejo, too.

No. Remember Smith was the 17th pick so his QO is very low relative to his value. His QO is only $3 million.

Brain fart...
