    No check mark? I call BS, especially after the Nets gave Tyler Johnson 4/50.

    Not going to trust some random reporter who misspelled "We hope to god portland doesnt' match because they owe us for Billy King gifting them Lillard". Guy doesnt' cover our team nor has he ever so how would he have intel on if we match or not?

    Since we're shopping at the nba retirement community now, do you think we'll turn around and offer Dirk the same deal we did Pau when Pau goes to the Spurs? I know we have even less of a chance of getting Dirk, but it would be interesting to see if they try.

    Gotta say, this is a pretty brilliant (and evil) move by the Golden State Moving Screens:

    I assume that someone posted this somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look:

    Cole Aldrich headed for Minnesota

    Free-agent big man and Minnesota native Cole Aldrich has reached agreement on a three-year, $22 million deal with theMinnesota Timberwolves, according to league sources. The six-year vet averaged 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 60 games for the Los Angeles Clippers last season.

    So, we can cross that off of our consolation wish list.

    Seriously, KD's rings would be so tainted for joining the Warriors. His legacy would be 100% bitch. At least when LeBron left Cleveland he had a legit reason... You know, not having any real talent around him... It's not like OKC has starved him from having good-great teammates.

    If Durant leaves for GSW, where does that leave OKC? Yeah it makes the Warriors tougher but I think we move up in the standings.

    The Warriors losing to Cleveland gave him the opening for it not to be tainted. Which was why I wanted the Warriors to repeat this year.

    I've mentioned many times how I wanted Aldrich, but the fact that he signed in Minnesota says something to me: he doesn't want to be a starter. He just took a below-market-value deal to play behind the rookie of the year and the league's next presumptive superstar. He likely could have had a starting job in one of several places, and he chose to consign himself to 15 mpg. Tells me that he doesn't view himself as highly as I and others did.

    I'm not going to worry about missing out on guys like that.
