    Shit, with Jack, Landry AND Millsap suddenly very available, I'm starting to feel bad we didn't sit on that $11M cap room a little longer.

    Please, somebody, believe in the promise of Joel Freeland and take him off our hands...

    I'm betting Dwight is waiting for GSW to come to an agreement with the Lakers, Barnes/Bogut for Dwight.

    Curry/Klay/Iggy/Lee/Dwight

    Do we need Jack with CJ already here?

    Millsap's always been there, but as long as we have LMA it's a bit redundant to blow the cap wad on him. Landry's in the same boat, at a lesser price.

    Jack would've taken up around 6M or so of the cap (at a minimum), so backup combo guard (where we already have CJ) would've eaten over half our space.

    The Lakers probably like that a lot better than Lin/Asik because Bogut's deal expires next summer, ready for the bumper 2014 crop.

    I think we're stronger than DEN next season

    You know who's really starting to feel bad?

    ... JJ Hickson

    Money starting to dry up, numerous teams playing to lose this season, add Milsap to the list of bigs that will take money away from JJ.

    I have a feeling JJ may be had by someone on the cheap again this season.

    I'd imagine the Lakers would want Klay, over Barnes.

    I think ATL will give him a sizable offer.

    Maybe. I can't knock Denver that much: they were soundly beaten in the playoffs, so it was a time to re-think. I'm surprised they even offered Iggy that much.

    Whichever one works. I don't think GSW care which one Lakers pick.

    I still think Barnes makes more sense. MWP sucks and Kobe plays SG.

    The Jazz had no intentions on signing Millsap or Jefferson. My Utah friends told me that 3 month ago.

    People were saying JJ would get 8.5 MIL a year on average. Been telling them all season that he would get 6.5 on average max. Not because he can't play. Because the PF group is strong this year.

    They were injured.

    I don't think they're that much worse honestly, but then again, I don't think much of Iggy. They are definitely not better though.

    Then why didn't they let us have him after we dodged the Turkoglu bullet, huh?

    Nuggets refused to do a sign-n-trade with the Warriors for Iguodala, I'm told. So they wound up w zilch. Where's Masai when you need him



    Idiots.
