    Nope. Nikola Vucevic should be the next option. Then Gorgui Dieng. Then Mahinmi.. Then maybe Monroe.

    I kind of hope Durant goes there now to get him out of the West and make OKC irrelevant and have Westbrook leave next year.

    The Hawks wouldn't pony up an extra 6mil and that is why he left, what a cheapskate franchise. Good job, Dwight, have fun being irrelevant.

    Yeah, Amir Johnson has $12M in ungaurunteed money and Jerebko has $5M ungaurunteed. They'd have to waive both.

    No he went because they replaced him with Dwight before he decided.

    Maybe he didn't like Atlanta signing Dwight. I don't really think the two of them would play together well.

    have no reason to think Dieng is on the market, he payed really well for them last yr and he's cheap - gonna have to pony up for him if you want him

    We will probably miss out on all of them, and sign David Lee out of extreme desperation

    Kinda bad look on Horford as well. He's clearly out for the money

    They have Towns at Center. They need shooting. I'm thinking a Meyers sign and trade would get it done. Maybe throw in the CLE 1st Round Pick. Would give us $13M in cap space after the deal. That's pretty close to what Gasol would want.

    I bet we will see Portland sign a big now with the floodgates opening on the big man market.
