That's the point breh, they both injury prone. How you gunna say you can count on Horford every night. Unless he meant playing hard every night

horford's injury last year was the first major injury of his career and it was a freak accident type of injury, he landed on his arm the wrong way

bynum hurts himself getting off the bench and he's a bipolar autistic diva

Reports are circulating that the Toronto Raptors have offered Steve Nash a contract worth $36 million over three years, but little has been said about what the Phoenix Suns, Nash's former current team have put on the table. If both reports are true then, well, you can kiss Nash goodbye, because an offer of $6 million per year by the Suns will surely not be enough to keep him around. To put it in perspective, that deal would put Nash behind Josh Childress and about on par with Channing Frye.

Pacers known to be seeking C to replace Roy Hibbert if they elect not to match Blazer offer sheet. Kaman known to want to join playoff team. Kaman is clearly the Pacers' favorite to replace Hibbert if they don't match Portland. Indy tried to get Kaman at the deadline last season. The Pacers didn't get Kaman at the deadline because Larry Bird wasn't giving up a 1st rd pick to New Orleans for a 2-month rental on Kaman.

Portland restricted free agent Nicolas Batum visited the Timberwolves on Sunday night and Monday, but left town without yet agreeing to a rich offer from the Wolves, who have made the 6-8 swingman and veteran guard Brandon Roy their top free-agent targets so far. Batum can reach an agreement with a team now, but cannot sign an offer sheet until July 11. If the Wolves sign him to a four-year offer that could approach $50 million, the Blazers would have three days to match the offer, or until July 14. The Wolves remain interested in acquiring veteran Lakers forward Pau Gasol and also have had free-agent discussions with guards Jamal Crawford, Lou Williams and Alexey Shved.

The Houston Rockets are pessimistic about their chances of re-signing point guard Goran Dragic with the sides far apart in negotiations, according to sources close to the process. But Dragic left town without a deal, sources said, leading one source close to the process to say that the lefty's expected return to the Rockets is "not going to happen." Dragic is scheduled Tuesday to visit the Phoenix Suns, who dealt him to the Rockets at the 2011 trade deadline. Houston is offering Goran Dragic a deal that starts at $8 million next season, but Dragic is looking for $10 million.

The Kings haven't forgotten about Terrence Williams. The swingman who stepped in and became the team's best passer after stops in New Jersey and Houston will have to wait for Thompson's situation to be resolved before the Kings address re-signing him.
