    I wondered about George Hill but I'll bet San Antonio goes after him...I'd rather have Patty Mills than Hood though

    I was thinking about Griffin and his connection with Neil but I really see him going to the east....he wants to sniff the finals...Boston...Washington might be interesting to him....Cavs are talking to Lamarcus agent now

    I think we should try to facilitate griffin going to the celtics.

    Griffin to Cs
    Crabbe/Zeller/Crowder to Clippers
    Bradley/Crawford to Blazers

    We basically turn crabbe into an expiring. (Crawford is only partially guaranteed next year). The clippers get some young players (maybe someone throws in a pick). The celtics preserve cap space to chase Hayward.

    Link? Didn't they just release the all NBA defense lists?

    Yeah but they do. And if they are not sure if he is, why get rid of him unless he is part of a big trade that brings in a star. The Jazz love young talent on cheap contracts, and he only makes 2 million per:

    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/rodney-hood

    June 9th, 2017 at 4:51pm CST by Austin Kent
    When Gordon Hayward hits free agency next month he’s expected to generate considerable interest. While the Jazz are intent on retaining the All-Star, Benjamin Mehic of the Deseret News suggests that Rodney Hood could be a possible, in-house replacement.

    Mehic argues that Hood’s career thus far has followed a similar trajectory to that of Hayward’s, with the former facing similar critiques to what Hayward faced early in his own career.

    Although, like Hayward, Hood will look to add bulk to finish stronger around the rim, he could potentially surpass Hayward on the defensive side of the ball. Mehic cites Hood’s 6’9″ wingspan as one of his best attributes heading forward.

    Well never mind then. I thought maybe after Hood's piss poor performance in the playoffs they would be willing to move him in a rebuild.

    I can see your logic. I like him too and was surprised at his poor performance. But the Jazz are pretty good talent evaluators, so I assume they know it is way too soon to give up on him. Usually the guys they give up on are the guys who will never be content living in Utah.

    More that the Rockets?

    It's been neck and neck for me for the last few years. I despised HOU for their ass hat fans and Hardens' flopping. I despised LAC for their whiny bitch of a coach, which trickled down to their players. Now that their whiniest player had been traded to HOU, it may tip my hatred in HOU's favor.

    How does one hate the clippers? Tbh i felt bad for them for having such a bad team for so long.

    Rockets fans, warriors fans, spurs fans, twolves fans, lakers fans are all so much more annoying.

    It's not their fans I despise.

    They brought in Doc Rivers and suddenly the sense of entitlement in LA shifted from the Lakers to the Clippers. I have never seen a whinier coach in all my life, at any level. And, it trickled down to his players that became whiny little bitches on the court. I hated playing them because you knew they were going to be whining about every single call that went against them from opening tip until the final buzzer.

    I would take a flyer on McLemore, but we would need to move either Crabbe or Turner.

    Griffin is a dumbass and an asshole. I don't want him near my team.
    Plus, his "footwork" makes me cringe

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Not much. I mean, some people seem to saying it would be centered on Eric Gordon because he's an Indiana native? If Pritchard trades George to bring in Gordon for a rebuilding team, I'll agree he's stupid.

    The only thing that might be attractive to a team like Indiana is Clint Capela, I guess, but they already have Myles Turner. Turner did start shooting some threes last year, so maybe they could try playing them together.
