    I'm sure Portland would have targeted him if we didn't have Cliff as our "big man project".

    Except that someone would take Bogut off GSW's hands..... so..... that whole story ends there.

    If the Blazers find that Ezelis knees are bad, we should go after him...what would he cost anyway?

    So, where's the activity? Thought we'd see some action today now that contracts can actually be inked. No offers on any of our RFAs yet?

    Mo Speights signs with the Clippers for the minimum. Nice to see Golden State not getting all the min. players. Apparently he spurned them because they couldn't guarantee as many minutes as he wanted.
    So: GState have lost:
    Barnes
    Bogut
    Ezeli
    Barbosa
    Speights

    Not going to do much for continuity. But I'm sure they'll manage.

    Their starters will have to play 38+ minutes per game.

    I wonder what this will do to Curry's health.

    Whatever happens to Curry it will be rigged, according to Ayesha.

    We said the same thing about Lebron when he went back to Cleveland. GS will have no problem finding back ups.

    They have Livingston, iguodola, west currently off the bench, I think Ian Clark as well, and will likely add a few more. With that big 4, they can easily stagger minutes. And how many 4th quarters will they need to play? No way they average 38 minutes

    They have no big lineup left. I wonder how they're going to deal with that. Just trust the big 4 to open up such a big lead it doesn't matter?

    Yeah there's no shortage of vets looking for a ring that have shown interest - David Lee, Chalmers. Even Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal, so long as they can use their motorized scooters at practice.

    Big lineup? Zaza and green will start at 5 and 4. Durant at 3, Thompson at 2. That's a big lineup
