We're not calling this free agency period 'weird,' but face this fact: Will Bynum has a contract and Andrew Bynum doesn't (guess the latter hasn't been bowled over by a bid). Josh Smith is the one citizen in the country who could be convinced to move to Detroit. $54 million was motivation enough to hoof it from his hometown to the region where robots are also cops. At least someone can afford to shop at the city's initial Whole Foods (he and Matthew Stafford will have the aisles to themselves).
Meanwhile, Monta Ellis has come to the conclusion that Fried isn't good for him. That would be agent Jeff Fried, who Ellis fired today. Ellis, who opted out of his deal with the Bucks that would've paid him $11 million next season and declined a $36 million extension with Milwaukee, is unhappy with the he's received so far. Few teams remain who can provide the payday the career 19-plus-points-per-gamer is pursuing (if Ellis is in desperate need of dollars, he should head over to the nearest Taco Bell). In other words, Ellis might be on an island for awhile.
The Warriors are getting Iggy with it, completing a sign-and-trade for swingman Andre Iguodala after the Kings said "nah, nah, nah, nah" and withdrew their offer (we know, we know, that joke bombed as badly as Will Smith's After Earth). Golden State moved as quickly as Iguodala does on a fast break to get him, but had to leave Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry curbside, like they were Golden Corral grub.
Morning Star: Speaking of food, Dwight Howard made a good first impression with the first meal of the day, buying breakfast Tuesday morning for everyone eating at a Houston restaurant where he was being interviewed by a local TV station. We didn't see what Howard ordered, but we're certain he had waffles (Lakers supporters suspect he ate eggs benedict Arnold).
