By the way Utah is tanking very very hard next year. All this salary will keep them at minimum salary level.

I am not a capologist so can someone help me? Can you just trade 24 mil salary+some picks for nothing?

Do the Lakers take Barnes or Thompson, a 1st round pick, and Bogut?

I think they will eventually take instead of losing him for nothing.

I think they can still get Howard with S&T for Bogut+Barnes/Thompson if LA gives up. Otherwise signing Iggy makes no sense.

I think they get Iggy first since he has lower cap hit. Then they will S&T Bogut+Barnes or Thompson for Howard. Iggy will be the replacement of the traded youngster.

Howard-Lee-Iggy-Thompson-Curry or Howard-Lee-Barnes-Iggy-Curry

Wow...

Wow good job by the Warriors if they can get rid of Beans and Jefferson without giving up youngsters.

Iggy to Golden State? Why would they do that when they have Barnes?

This is an actual question, not trying be a smartass, but realistically what duo you guys think our difference in attendance would be with Dwight? Is he the Kind of guy who fills seats?

He was that kind of guy but he really hurt his image in the last 2 years. Still we would be better than 26th, middle of the pack probably.

I can't wait till this is over so that I can start hating this d-bag. I am not starting now, you know just in case :-)

Bogut-Horford-Barnes-Korver-Teague with plenty of talent of the bench is a promising lineup.

I would be a very happy man if we could end up with Harrison Barnes. I was seriously impressed with him in the playoffs.

His game has a lot of holes, he has injury risk and his maturity is questionable. Honestly the only reason that I want Howard is that he would bring much needed relevancy and excitement to Atlanta. I am not a fan of him other than that.

Bogut-Barnes-Jefferson-2014 1st for cap relief. Bring'em home Ferry!

Signing Korver to a 4 year deal doesn't necessarily mean he will be here for the duration of the contract. You need assets for future trades. I think if we cannot form a team to contend next year, he may be traded to a contender.

If GSW doesn't pull off the deals, my goodness, did that team screw themselves over with Charlie Bell's amnesty or what?

And Richard Jefferson-Stephen Jackson trade.

If Howard is not coming to here, I would like to have Bogut and Barnes. Bogut has shown in the playoffs that he can still be an inside presence. I prefer him over Bynum any day. Barnes is very good also. It is not happening though.

i dont know about getting up and celebratibg. The most I'll do is give a head nod probably.

My thoughts exactly. In fact seeing Evans as a player to get up and celebrate summarizes the state of the franchise right now. We are talking about Tyreke Evans, the guy that freaking Kings are not trying to keep.

I don't see him rejecting this unless he wants to be in a contender for less (Nets?).

I hate to say this but if we are going to tank, Horford will hurt our chances. On the other hand if we could get a top-5 pick next year for him (Bobcats?) combined with our lottery pick and some luck in the draft, rebuilding can be quicker than expected.

There is nothing wrong with Atlanta. Such a ...

"Hey Fans - Remember those losing season we endured 6 years ago and we were in the lottery but still didnt receive the #1 pick. Guess what we are going to try that again so we can wish and hope for a #1pick and pick Wiggins, eventhough he could go the Marcus Smart route and stay in college one more year, or even if we dont win the lottery like the Bobcats didnt the last few years... please support us."

Tanking is a losers mentality...please wake up

Well, we were 26th in attendance last year. It is not like they will lose a ton of support...

Like what type of damage. That's a 1st round exit team. We aren't beating Brooklyn, Miami, Indy, Chicago w/ Rose or NYK with at squad.

Don't get me wrong, I also prefer tanking but I am not sure our FO can risk that.

I like the idea of getting Asik unless we are in full tanking mode. Asik-Horf-Iggy-Lou-Teague can do damage in East.

Smoove coming of the bench :-) Well, that is something that would never happen.

I don't understand why they want Smoove when they already have Monroe and Drummond unless they plan to use Smoove at SF. Iggy would be a better fit for them.

I don't expect us to keep Zaza considering that we drafted two centers.
