    I think we are gonna come close on whiteside but we are gonna strikeout so we will shift our attention to Howard and give him a near max deal.

    Howard or more likely Mahinmi/Aldrich.

    I said none. If we get Howard, still none. His back will explode.

    We need Howard so I can rush out and grab his Blazers jersey as soon as they are released.

    Hoping for Whiteside as he seems our best chance at a difference maker, I think Horford is a pipe dream and Dwight is real iffy. So if Whiteside fails I think it's Mahinmi or Aldrich

    Whiteside goes to Lakers, we watch Conley and once he indicates that he is leaving Memphis we swoop in like a bird of prey and take Gasol.

    Plumlee!

    3rd in rebounding for all players in playoffs.

    1st for centers in assists in playoffs.

    Now that he's rebuilt, his offense should improve so I suggest you refer to him as Meyers LeOnar_.

    That wouldn't be the worst possible outcome for the summer...as long as we get a dominant PF.

    Leonard or Biz

    If we keep Meyers I assume Plumlee could be dealt.

    Why do we need an extra center? Plumlee/Leonard/Davis are good and getting better.

    How much will you guys freak out if we blow our load on Harry Barnes and come back with the same C rotation?

    That's not what we need from a center at all.

    Plumdog was 22nd in blocks in the playoffs.

    #34 in defensive advanced stats in the post season. He sits between Dragic and Isaiah Thomas in that metric. Whiteside was the clear #1.

    If we end up with Dwight, that's gonna kill free agency for me. Dude is lazy, slow, terrible in the post. Injury prone. He can still defend a little bit. That's about it. Woj has him getting a one year deal and just being one of those players that does short deals because teams wont want him on a 4-5 year deal
