Theo Ratliff to join the Detroit Pistons The Timberwolves waived center Theo Ratliff on Thursday night, after agreeing to buy out the remainder of his $11.6 million contract. Ratliff is expected to sign with the Pistons once he clears waivers. Feb. 28 - 9:50 pm et Source: Detroit News Brent Barry chooses to return to Spurs Brent Barry has decided to return to the Spurs this season, according to Phoenix Suns general manager Steve Kerr. Oops. An earlier report, citing "unnamed sources", said that Barry had ruled out a return to the Spurs. He can't sign with the team that released him until March 21st and should only provide threes when he gets back. Feb. 28 - 9:45 pm et Source: Arizona Central Caron Butler could return in 1-3 weeks The Wizards are optimistic that Caron Butler (labral tear in left hip) will be able to play after an unspecified period of rest, approximately 1-3 weeks. There is no official timetable for his return. Kudos to diligent beat reporter Ivan Carter, who noted that surgery was never mentioned as an option. Butler will be examined again next week, giving Andray Blatche solid value for at least a few more games. Feb. 28 - 8:43 pm et Source: Washington Post Brandon Roy doubtful for Friday's game Brandon Roy is doubtful to play on Friday because he still has pain in his sprained right ankle. If Roy doesn't play, coach Nate McMillan said he will once again start Steve Blake, Martell Webster, Travis Outlaw, LaMarcus Aldridge and Joel Przybilla. One bit of good news for the Blazers is that James Jones is likely to make his return on Friday. Feb. 28 - 7:04 pm et Source: The Oregonian Sam Cassell to sign with Celtics The Clippers bought out Sam Cassell's contract on Thursday, allowing him to sign with the Boston Celtics once he clears waivers. Cassell will backup Rajon Rondo and could cut into his minutes. Sam is unlikely to see much of a boost in production but should be watched closely in deep leagues. The Clippers are expected to sign guard Flip Murray to shore up the point guard spot -- Brevin Knight (out w/ hand injury) and Dan Dickau are both worth a flier in deep leagues.
