Apparently Pip's still a week or two away from making a decision, which seems odd, because, at his age, every week that passes is like a year. By next week he'll be playing Bridge and pinochle. At any rate, here's some more concerning rumblings from Cleveland (via ESPN):
I've learned that Cleveland is one of the two teams that contacted Pippen's former agent to find out how to reach him. General manager Danny Ferry is still recovering from the hangover caused by his 72-hour binge session right before the trading deadline in which he tried and tried to find ways to make Drew Gooden's base-year compensation status workable in a multiteam deal that would have landed him Mike Bibby.
Oh god. I hope Pippen's return goes well, because he's one of the greatest and I hope his legacy doesn't get tarnished by unnecessary foolishness. That said, I can't fathom how he could possibly be the answer the Cavs are searching for. I really don't want the Cavs to make this error, which won't be costly in a money sense as Pippen will only get the vet's minimum. But it could be hugely detrimental to a late playoff push, which the Cavs might need to prevent a first round matchup with someone who can actually beat them.

scotty pippen is a genuine chocolateface.
come visit us asap in our new place, i'm using my tax return to buy the best futon money can buy and it's yours to luxuriate on.
I'm so sick of the Gooden BS. The injustice being done to Drew Gooden is unquestionably... unjust, but we should celebrate the fact that even in his hampered state, Drew remains one of the best (if not most underrated) power forwards in the NBA.
Agreed, he is definitely underrated, nonetheless, with Varejao waiting in the wings along with Z and Marshall, I would have dealt him for Bibby too.
