    But they made habitual stupid mistakes, and played a Golden State team that had a so-so Steph Curry for most of the series.

    As long as the Thunder have Westbrook as their PG, they're going to be mental midgets.

    I agree he is waiting on the KD decision, but I think he is waiting to see which one DOESN'T get KD. They are all good teams and will have some money available.

    I hope Gasol does go to SA, then maybe we can steal Boban from them. (For a reasonable price)
    I like Plumlee, so we would only need Boban's size on a limited basis.

    ...how about $7.33M?! Cole Aldrich has landed a three-year, $22 million deal with the Timberwolves, league "sources" say.

    Well now we know we're going to have to trade for a big when Gasol goes to SA. Idk what is even left on the free agent market besides bench warmers.

    Cole Aldrich isn't putting us any closer to a title than anyone else.

    I was against him, but now there are no non restricted free agent bigs left that would be more than a bench warmer besides Gasol that I can think of at the top of my head.

    If we were in the hunt for a title sure but we aren't. It is NOT worth losing two assets for an aging vet when your not on the cusp of a Championship.

    Does Gasol mean goodbye Harkless for sure? That would suck hugely.

    I don't think it has to be for certain that he is gone, but I think it would take other moves to get it done then.
