    If we are going for D Dunn plays some really good D but another guy who can't shoot the 3, but paired with shooters situationally I think he'd be a good fit

    I woulda taken Harkless for 3.5 mil/ 1 yr over the Jones contract. Miami won that trade off.

    Shay Gilligan'sIsland, Al Horford, DORT! & and a whole heap of future draftpicks. Shay & Dort are fantastic young up & comers, but c'mon man, all those draftpicks don't guarantee jack. He's like a mad scientist.

    Dunn would be awesome to have in the West. You need a pest like that to help deal fast guards like Fox, Murray and Ja.

    Is this true? Hood is also a 2 year deal with a player option.

    Melo isn’t coming back to play 12-15 min. I just don’t see it.

    Sounds like Harkless took a discount to play in Miami. Doubt he would do that here.

    Question on capspace and how/when actual signings take place. Can we still use Hassan in a sign and trade? or is that option now gone?

    just going to ask that same question. Any realistic options with Charlotte or sac? Can you attach a player who sign and traded to other pieces? Like Hassan and little for ____

    He should have fun trying to run up and down the court with those guys, but damn, that just became a bruising front line. I feel bad for whoever plays them when Zion is healthy.

    He's rapidly making up for all the teams he didn't play against in the bubble.

    Don't forget Ibaka. Durant was the easy pick, but Westbrook was a bit of a reach. Remember, we hoped to move up and get him but OKC valued him enough to take higher than most projected.

    That team was broken up way too early to know how could they could have been. Add in that they ran into consecutive dynasties in SAS, Miami, and GS, and there weren't a whole lot of 'chips left to go around. Presti put a great roster together in the coach's hands for a while there. That's about all you can ask of the GM.

    for another big bring Skal back? or Vonleh? Kaminsky, Illyasova. Taj and there are others. Still some decent backups if we want that

    forgot to add Giles, wouldn't mind takin a chance on him - classic Olshey reclamation project?

    Dunn was a nice get at 2/10 for the Hawks. They addressed something we need to address as well. I would love Shaquille Harrison, but Dunn would've been fine as well.
