    What that means to me is the market for Ibaka and Millsap is either way above the MLE or they've slowed down so much that they aren't effective defenders at the 4 anymore.

    That is fuq’ed up. Now I don’t feel so bad about how much we spent on Derrick Jones (still a little though)

    Dame, CJ, Hood, RoCo, Nurk, Gary, Jones, Zach, Enes, Nas, Ant

    So what's left? Signing someone with the BAE maybe a PG, getting Wenyen a little raise with the non bird exception, Elleby signed to Olshey's traditional three year min contract for a second rounder and then a two-ways maybe Hoard, Brown or someone else.

    The Warriors are great defensively and Steph Curry is CJesque in his defense.

    4 years/$40 mil for Harkless!

    Edit: well shit, I thought I was making a joke, then Neil does the "hold my martini" act.

    That's somewhat true but CJ is markedly worse than Steph and Dame is only average while Klay is fantastic.

    Was away for a while and come back to the Jones news.

    Olshey's performance this year was like my senior citizen sex life - start strong and then total collapse. Unless there was an organized boycott against the Blazers, there is no way this was the best they could have done!

    Please sign someone who can dribble. Need a playmaker.

    that’s a pretty obvious fit. He’s from there too.

    Guards still available:

    - DJ Augustin
    - Avery Bradley -- most likely can't afford him
    - Jeremy Lin
    - Kris Dunn
    - Bryn Forbes -- prolly my favorite of the lot.
    - Shaq Harrison
    - Shabazz Napier

    I’d take AB, he can defend the perimeter pretty well still.

    God I hate the stretch provision. We are STILL paying a combined 5 mil to Nicholson and Varejao this upcoming season.

    Agreed, but no way we get him for the BAE.

    2 decent trades, no help in the draft, free agency once again a joke.

    Maybe not a treadmill....not enough progress to give us real hope.
