    I'm not sure what he's talking about

    looking at that list above, the Warriors will be 10M below the apron with 9 players. They added two 2nd round picks this last draft, So they'd be about 8M below with 11 players. They could add 3 vet minimum players and be 3M below the apron with 14 players. Staying under the apron won't be a problem

    that said, there is no proven depth and they are betting real heavy on the synergy between Curry and Russell

    they'll still be a playoff team, but they are just part of the pack now instead of out front

    Good thing we didn't try for him. We wouldn't want any proven veterans on this team.

    Warriors lost their Finals MVPs. They will be average next year.

    Is Jaynes really the only Portland media guy to hint at more moves?

    The beat writers have as many sources as S2 apparently.

    I'm sorry, did we have 17 million in cap space or a TPE to absorb him with?

    Yeah and DJ said our move was for a center. Then we signed the Croate, and someone asked if that was the signing and he said yes. So, he’s probably as well informed as the rest of us....

    Really? Conley and Gobert would trap Lillard to death, let's be realistic here

    Gross. Moe is our best perimeter defender right now. Not moving him unless it's for a clear upgrade.

    Pop two mollies, give your wife the ol’ pump n dump and stay up 72 straight hours refreshing Twitter to see what other minimum contract player we sign, like a true fan.

    Olynyk would be great for our frontcourt though, even better when Nurk is back. Not a bad defender either.

    Dame / Simons
    CJ / Hood
    Baze / Mario / Little
    Collins / Olynyk / Layman / Daum
    Nurk* / Leonard / Skal

    I don't know if we can get back to the WCF, but I really, really like "Blazers II":

    Little - 19
    Ant - 20
    Trent - 20
    Collins - 21
    Skal - 23
    Hezonja - 24
    Nurk - 24

    If we keep these guys together, we will be very good for a LONG time.

    Would the Magic be open to trading Gordon?

    Interesting, say what you will, but this thread for the past few hundred posts has been VERY argument free. Anybody else notice the lack of being told how their opinions are wrong or they don't know as much as other members on here? Very enjoyable on here the past 10 hours.
