    I'm still keeping that Gasol dream alive, homey.

    But yeah, I'm surprised we didn't see Woj tweet that we had signed Mahinmi five seconds after the Horford news like yesterday.

    I'd settle for that, he's a very solid C and very good defender. as long as he's not crazy expensive

    I don't think that was desperation signing. Desperation signings don't happen in the 1st 12 hours. Some people don't like the signing so they label it as desperation, but clearly Olshey made those arrangements as a plan B to Parsons. He fits our needs. A desperation move is last minute "crap I need to sign someone". I know a group of you will continue to call it that , but regardless that's out of character for Neil.

    Yeah, I just see him going to the Spurs. You think Durant wants to play with Lazy ass LaMartha Aldridge with Ginobli retiring...Durant is going to sign elsewhere and Spurs will give Gasol his lollipop

    I'm not so sure. Between Boston & Atlanta - I think Boston is a better situation.

    I really hope Durant goes to Boston, The Spurs are going nowhere but down, OKC might lose Chuckbrook next summer, and going to the Warriors would make him seem like a total beta.

    I would love that.. Give the east another contender and take one away from the west. We'd be gunning for home court advantage. The Clippers will get worse by losing Rivers, Green, and Aldrich, and I don't think the Thunder would be better than us. We would compete for a 3rd seed.

    I am delighted if he leaves OKC, goes East, and GS/OKC/San Anton/Clips all lose out on him!

    Would anyone be surprised to see Howard walk away from the Hawks?
