    And they would be in perfect position to tank for Wiggins.

    Okay sweetcheeks. Here is the comparison of Kmart vs Klay at 22 years old, second year in the league. Martin still blows him away. Way more win shares, way better offensive rating, way better shooting percentage and eFG%. This is at almost 10 minutes less per game, and half as many starts. Thompson beats him at ppg, but Martin averaged 4 less shots per game. Happy?

    Klay's defense really surprised me. I didn't think he was as good as Matthews, but he's actually better statistically. I have to admit that I haven't watched as many Warriors games as I would like to, so my opinions aren't as good as yours, I can only go off the stats and what I've seen.

    He really is. Worse than Garnett. At least KG is loyal.

    Why you blamin him? He didn't release all this news about HOU earlier. It was these reporters and their anonymous sources who jumped the gun when they should have clearly waited

    DAL really has money burning a hole in their pocket. They gave Calderon a 4 year 29 MIL deal. All of it guaranteed and no team option on 4th year or anything. Bad idea in 3 years imo.

    Yuck. Not a fan of that deal. We'll see what they piece together, but seems like by chasing first Deron, and now Dwight, Mark has really set his team back. They have little to no young assets to think of, no real decent younger players on the roster to build with. Signing guys like Calderon, again, we'll see what else they try to do, but it seems like chasing an 8th seed, but with a lot of money tied to it.

    Ya, wrong direction to take. They need to go the BOS route this year even if it is painful to admit.

    This, this, this. I'm not THAT high on Klay but I hated on Martin since his initial break out in Sac. Definition of fools gold. You can show me all the numbers you want, I would never trade Klay for Martin. Martin has 0 effect on wins. Like I said before, Klay's got horrid efficiency numbers but when you watch him you get a feel for his overall impact on a team. If you'rebuilding around either one you're going to be drafting top 5 every year, but if want to have a winning basketball team, you take Klay all day.

    As PapaG implied, for all the warts Klay has he was one of the better players on a pretty good team this past season. Best defensive player on the team that played pretty good defense despite poor individual defenders (Bogut probably better when healthy I guess).

    They should have a ton of cap space when Aldridge is a free agent in 2015 and Dirk comes off the books. I think Cuban thought Dallas was more attractive than it actually is. Why would Dwight go to Dallas when it's really no better than Los Angeles? They both have aging stars and that's about it.

    I'm not really clear on how this all works. But wouldn't they get one big TPE for all the players that were sent to Utah (RJ, Biedrins, and Rush)?

    Yeah, for some reason, the 47 win team played him 36 minutes a night and gave him a lot of shot opportunities. What I don't get is that if he sucks so much, why insist he be included in a trade?

    Shhh ... stop injecting reality into this drama.

    We've heard nothing from Howard, and the only thing we've actually heard about the Houston thing is from unnamed sources.

    Haters gonna hate, though.

    Don't. That was an exciting trio. I thought they'd win more than they did
