Kolek planning to go pro
He would be wide open all game......that would be a great move by the Cavs. They could get Novak much cheaper than his worth to them. He would be an excellent starter role player on that team.
source?
Two other players that may fit that bill are Rob Kurz and Steve Novak. Both are finesse power forwards who are known for their shooting ability out to the 3-point line. With players such as Shaquille O'Neal and Varejao who play close to the basket, the Cavs have been looking for good long-range shooting forwards for much of the summer.

I would love to see the Bulls go after Travis and Steve since they would both be very cheap and would be more welcoming to getting Dwayne to come home. They could offer a max contract to Wade and then a forward like Boozer/Bosh/Amare if they clear a little more space. Novak and Diener would be perfect role players on that team off the bench and it would be nice to have the Final Four team so close to campus.
If Diener and Wade go to the Bulls, will there still be spots on the roster for McNeal, Wes, and DJ?
What's the word on "the street?"
The word on the street is the Dwyane is 50/50 about coming back to Chicago or staying in Miami. He like Miami (who wouldn't) and there aren't any state taxes. What I heard is he will be swayed by where he has a shot to win another ring and wants to stay in a big(ger) market. Another thing I heard is that many of the NBA teams, including the Bulls are not going to keep as many players on their rosters this year due to economic constraints and/or they are going to sign "cheap" players. This is a double edged sword for guys like McNeal and Matthews who have an outside shot at making the NBA. They have the advantage of being first year FAs under the collective bargaining agreement and are therefore the cheapest labor available, but they are at a stark disadvantage in that there are simply fewer "jobs" available in the NBA next year.
