Jorge Sierra at HoopeHype reports free agent big man Francisco Elson is "leaning" towards the Bucks , while also weighing offers from the Hawks and FC Barcelona. Especially with Chris Andersen and Kwame Brown now off the market, Elson's one of the few proven free agent big men still available. And with 13 men currently on the roster and only $2.06 million available under the luxury tax, the Bucks...

According to the Rocky Mountain News, free agent big man Francisco Elson wrote this after being asked about joining the Nuggets: “I would be very excited to have the opportunity to play in Denver. It’s the team that drafted me and a place I call my second home. The fans have been fantastic, and I respect [...]

And seeing the list of potentially available cats only confirms what's being said 24/7. It ain't the most fruitful of FA crops this harvest time (unless you're a HUGE Francisco Elson fan). Obviously, things could get more interesting if Elton Brand does indeed opt out of his current deal. But even that shouldn't raise the pulse of Laker fans, since the purple and gold remain unlikely suitors. Same...

In Sunday's NBA column -- thanks to many of you for the positive feedback, by the way -- I briefly discussed last week's San Antonio-Seattle trade. If you recall, the Spurs acquired Kurt Thomas from the Sonics for Francisco Elson, Brent Barry and a future first-round draft pick. The Sonics immediately waived Barry, clearing the way for him to become a free agent. I suggested the Spurs

When I saw that the Sonics had traded Kurt Thomas to San Antonio for Brent Barry, Francisco Elson and a first round pick, I immediately envisioned a post about how the Sonics ended up getting THREE first round draft picks in two separate transactions for Thomas - two from the Suns when they acquired him, and one from the Spurs when they gave him up. It must surely be the first time that a player, being...
