I would like to see Al play PF just out of curiosity - would be interesting - hell maybe we have a secret plan to get DH to come off the bench if hes humbleded enough to show ppl hes not this bad guy - lol. Al would have to take less and then go after Durant, hahah would be greatest coup in nba history.

Who knows how elaborate it could be, I doubt Horford said that though - eh and paul are good, plus he talked about working on his post game the most this offseason, and if we traded Paul it would have to be for a good SG if this is what they are proposing to KD - the salary issue should be that big of a deal for us we should be able to move enough around, still so many moving parts.

no Mike Bell doesnt no ish about nba - talking about Rick and Jaime show Jamie Dukes

Yea I realized that awhile ago when Dukes was saying way more credible shit than him when they were on together. Some of these guys are goofballs that dude in the morning Fricke or whatever - we got to get better ppl on that station, I do like all the guys that came from the zone though

Shit if were going after Howard why not go after Whiteside instead -

we can do this and go after Hayward, Mccollum or something next year, either way its not a bad idea at all - if Baze keeps improving then its a win, givin the climate of the nba and the available players, getting Deng is a win actually - especially considering if Splitter can be a real contributor leaves a lots of options for things in the front court - we just need that scorer on the wing, if this year can set us up with a better bench and depth that will help us land one of the top guys next year if we do well enough this year and manage the cap right and they believe they are the missing piece. I think that is what Buds plan is.

we already heard we were going to go hard for him, someone is full of shit. - im sure we will be atleast in talks. either way theres not many options out there.

Deng didnt play SF last year ? ok then maybe that will get him back up - only thing im seeing is his rebounding, saying we move Baze to the 2, I love his Def and the team should be the best DEF team we have had, but damn we need a scorer. I think the hope Dennis can turn into something and Baze can improve, and what is CLE doing, do they have the cap to keep this team together, ??

I dont hate Curry, but love Durant - you guys need context - Lebron was chosen from early age being put on the pedestal people always at him with expectations, your going to handle that differently, Curry came outta nowhere and is a darling, fine I really liked him and was a big fan, and he did a great post game presser, but he was also raised around rich people and comes from the total opposite angle Lebron had. Think about context, When lebron messes up or did something growing up not of what the path said he should be doing, ppl are going to drag him down because it should be so easy for him to fill the expectations - Curry on the other hand, when he does what he does its shocking, or when he does somehting wrong its like, ahhh atta boy get up chin up try again ur a great sport. CONTEXT. I dont think Durant, Curry or Lebron are at all bad guys and they all have to deal with crazy expectations, I was just saying Curry isnt this perfect angel a lot of ppl think he is.

yall keep bitching like there are other players available, its the nba they control the market, we have money thats all we can do put ourselves in the position to get somone, there arent better SFs available, how hard is it

seriously something wrong with this league as it is - the players control it and its a shame but its not anyones fault really, free market. But if Durant goes to GS nah, f*** that I cant watch the product anymore thats just ludicrous. Im really tired of GS and was pulling for CLE to get a ring, they never had one, lets not act like Curry doesnt cry he is so aloof and acts like the underdog non ego guy. I think GS is the team to hate going forward, its crazy how many ppl turned on them this year.

They say he had a great season, his numbers are all down, this guy doesnt score either, he does rebound, I guess thats it ? Deng would be fine, but yea I was really starting to like the idea of another big where Horf could move to PF sometimes - but I think horford is going to do more in the paint for us and get dirty, hes got nothing to lose now - and we played ball with him his way and this city loves him. He said right after the loss to CLE his offseason was focused on working in the post. We will see, but ideally Id like one more person than Deng if were not getting Durant, which looks to stay in OKC and he should.

This all around is pretty fked up - and also its just another thing that pops up in the NBA. The players really do run the house. Thats fine I guess, but again I would hate to be a franchise in this current iteration of the league, what a mess. 30 teams fighting over 10 players all this extra shit comes into play that never should. Sportsmanship is far from number 1 in this league. Its just what the market has created I guess, but damn - really.

Well we konw Tiago can play the 4, some articles out there about how good we were when he was playing healthy this year, some ridiculous outscoring going on when he was on the court. Apparently he seems pretty convinced hell be back - Assuming he plays how good he did last year or better thats a pretty good big rotation keeping horford of course. If we get Noel as well, it starts to get a little crowded - But we might not miss as much if he stays and we trade Millsap obviously. That is pretty solid still, Im not sure we can get Galinari or Hayward but those would be the first choices, seems like that would be hard to do - we def would have to pick up a close to all star sf. Theres only a few that it could work with but I dont know the wing situations on those teams if they have someone to replace one of those guys if there are - give me an example - say the nuggets, who takes over at SF if Galinari leaves.

yes of course - just wondering if that meant moving paul to the 3, I guess sometimes it would be fine I understand the rotation bit - just so many here freak when ppl talk about puttin PM at the 3

do u mean to put on the court with al and paul, or just in rotation, if so which is the rotation at the end of the game, sitting AL?

sounds like we are stuck doing the same shit agian, hoping someone gets injured on the cavs so we can scoot into a finals once in a awhile - not that its Hawks fault, just nature of this silly league now, not sure what we could possibly do at this point everything mentioned would be extreme long shot with so many things having to line up.

Yea he is super insecure - probably has some Daddy issues etc.

Id love Batum but him and Whiteside are gettting max deals, teams already talking about offering max deals to those guys - Id call it a miracle if we can get a legit wing starter here and keep Horford at this point

I dont think this has shit to do with Budcox, there not out on the floor, weve done as best we can given players available, as usual we dont have the talent these other teams do. That are getting to the finals, have agreat team, just lack the players to hang with these teams with 2 top 15 players on there squad. There going to have to figure out a way to get those players, been like this in nba for long time - 25 or so other nba teams have the same problem. The players control the league, I think we all agreed on this in one of these other posts, it also begs the questions since we agree on the lack of parity in this league and why - why are we still here debating all of this, I guess lots of us here are gluttons for punishment :)

Who needs a PG ? Wolves? and Philly - agreed on Brown, plus super smart kid. Just trying to see how we could get there.

Yea if we had a hard cap - we would prob been to finals and won several times.

Not even opposed to trading Teague for a big to the sixers - then signing Al and trading Sap for maybe enough that can get us better than we are, wouldnt be easy but we need that wing scorer. Its sometimes amazing we do as good as we do with the mix of athleticism we have on this team, Korver, Baze, Scott, Thabo and AL lack some major key athletic traits that we get around,

What player can we get in the top 5 will do anything ? there are only 2 good players in this draft.

This is what I have been saying since I started watching basketball again, I mean really - why are we here ? the sport just doesnt have the parity other games have, we get all worked up about shit and its the same thing for 25 teams every year. Id like the league to figure how to do something about it but I dont know what can be done, its just the nature of the game I guess, and why it wont be anything close to the nfl ever.
