    One thing I think is pretty clear is Neil has a pretty clear vision of the players Terry needs for his style of coaching. A player like Mahinmi would be virtually worthless to Stotts, he wouldn't use him.

    Justin holiday, langston galloway, lance thomas, hernangomez is coming over.

    They have a room exception to use.

    Not great, but obviously they arent done. I could see rose and melo convincing some guys to take a one year vet minimum

    Fall back and sign our RFA's. That's what I think should happen. A big can happen later with a trade. Evan turner is an upgrade to the team despite what others think. Just bounce now, focus on the RFA's

    I think they still have $10M-$15M in cap space.

    Yeah. The agents are just using us now. I don't know what Olshey was talking about "fostering a relationship with the agents." When we have no draft picks for workouts and nobody will sign anyway..... who cares?

    On who? Pau Gasol is probably waiting for the Durant fiasco to be done so he can sign with the Spurs. Who do you go for? Mahimi got paid, Biyombo got paid. I say get out of free agency, focus on the others, we can get something better later

    Aldrich will go for more than $8 million but he's about the last guy left who fits a need.

    With Mahinmi coming in Gortat might be expendable for the Wiz.

    Houston should have probably traded Hardon and started over like Dallas should be doing.

    4/53 for Gordon, he got more than Lee... Wow

    So, the Rockets are pretty much in fucksville.

    Harden / Beverley
    Gordon / McDaniels
    Ariza / Brewer
    Anderson / Beasley
    Capela / D-Mo

    Coached by Pringles!

    Anyone think Terrence Jones could be worth a look as a really cheap, low-risk, medium-reward type of PF? His value is super low now but he's 24 and seems like he could bounce back.

    I swear if Durant signs with The Celtics and they trade for Boogie Cousins.... I'm just going to lock myself in my apartment, grab a guitar and write a song called "Got Dem Small Market, Free Agency Rejection Blues"....
