    I know you are being sarcastic but I actually think we dodge a bullet. Max Jordan is not worth it

    ugh. I hate Hibbert and think he would bust pretty hard here. Plums can be a better fit.

    If DeAndre is going to DAL, then Chandler could be in play, and I like him a lot better

    I know you and almost 80% of the fans here think Hibbert sucks, but the dude was third best in the entire league with rim FG%, behind Gobert and Bogut. He's also young enough to keep us a force in the league for many years.

    Chandler, Green, and Aminu? Not the huge splash that Neil wanted.

    Thing with Chandler is he's a two year rental. He is too old to be a future piece in Portland. I just don't see how this is something Olshey would want

    I see him up close here in Indy, man. When you have Hill, West, and George around you, your D will automatically start to look better. The guy is clumsy as hell and literally trips over himself on every other possession. He provides 0 spacing potential on offense, and is more immobile than Rolo on D. With the way the league is going, Hibbert's strengths are going to become obsolete.

    Bogut was benched in the finals.

    Gobert is more mobile than both of these guys.

    Not all pieces have to be 10 year pieces, though. A 2 year piece isn't a "rental". It's just a 2 year piece, and sometimes that's alright.

    No I mean I don't want Chandler if we don't get LA back.

    But they didn't have George last season. West is hardly a defender bro. His defense is legit. Sorry if I disagree with you

    Yeah. Which would be a pretty drastic overpay. He's a role player. I could see doing 12 million a year but 15 seems too high.

    There aren't many options at SG in free agency bro. All are role players and Green is probably the best 3D guy

    I can't take your opinion seriously when you say something like this.

    I meant to say "elite". He and Aldridge are very similar on the defensive end IMO.

    I think Green gets Batum money (12 MIL) from someone. Maybe he takes less to come here? I guess possibly but doubt it.

    Not going to lie: seeing Wes on another team is going to hurt.

    Not gonna lie. Seeing any of our players will hurt. As much as I understood why Batum was dealt, it's still going to be really weird to see him in another uni.
