    I could see Dallas pursuing Kosta Koufus.

    I can just imagine the plotting and back stabbing going on around the league right now. Kind of nice to be on the sidelines and be able to enjoy the show without being too invested in it. Somebody pass the popcorn. ;)

    This would be hilarious. I hate Dallas. I'm tired of the Texas teams being successful. I want them all the crumble in ruin.

    Well, after the dominoes fall, who knows, we might get lucky with our cap space after all?

    Haven't you been following? "Agreed" ain't worth the paper it's not written on.

    Spurs are just a great franchise and I gotta respect em. I hate ginobili tho. He's really no different than harden.

    One of these teams could very well miss the playoffs next year depending on what he decides to do.

    I only hate the fans from the Spurs. Their front office are fantastic and their players are the kind I root for. Very few premature celebrations, showing off after making a nice play, and all that other nonsense.

    +> Rockets then a close second Mavs. Spurs have a GREAT coach and TD is all class.

    But wasn't the Hibbert thing a trade? No FA's were involved right?

    I think this Jordan situation will change the NBA. Before, it was verbal agreements are worth something and now it's open season. Will be interesting to see what Silver does.

    What can he do? Other than get rid of the moratorium. He could just open up free agency on July 1st and call it good.

    Again, nobody gave a shit when it happened to us. But yeah, since it might possibly happen to 'important' teams, changes will be at least discussed.

    Same bro rondo was just the start of there downfall hopefully dj uses his head and stays with the clippers they would be a contender this year and might actually make it past second round especially with the PP addition we all know he will just be used in the playoffs.

    At his age and stage of his career, what do you think is more important to DJ; being part of a contender, or having the chance to be the focal point of a team? Despite the present waffling, I imagine it's the latter. The Mavs sold him on being the next Howard or Shaq--a center that a team is built around. He's likely not actually good enough to be that, but he'll never get the chance to find out in LA.

    This sounds like he's being held hostage.
