    Who are the leaders on Utah lol. Dame will stare at him one time and he'll know who the boss is and where he falls in line.

    We won't have to worry about OKC once KD goes to the Wizards and Westbrook goes to the Lakers. This feels like when we signed Milsap to an offer sheet and the jazz matched. Mil sap for 4 yrs/32 mill. The think Kanters will produce much like Milsap solid and consistent

    I think we should get Kanter, just so that I can name him Swaggy P Enis.

    Joe Johnson is 34, he's not exactly young, nor do I think he has much upside personally.

    LMAO the sixers have better chance in the long run because they have Okafor. No disrespect but we have a star PG who we just signed for 120 million. We can't rely year after year on ping pong balls. We have keep adding young pieces with upside. Who is licking their chops to sign with us next year in free agency?

    We'll see when we get there. Wasting lots of cap space on Kanter is really really really stupid though. You'll pay $15m a year to a guy who will never even be close to being an allstar in the league?

    If we get mad lucky and some of our younger players develop this year and were able to land ben Simmons, all of a sudden Portland becomes a lot more attractive to free agents. The only question is who would we even target? Durant ain't coming here. Who else is worth pursuing?

    16/9 for a center is pretty close already to being an all star but also would be easily the featured player not named Lillard. RoLo got 13.5 million lol. At 23 RoLo was putting up a 5/3. I think there was a reason why this guy got drafted 3rd overall.

    CJ foe Simmons and whatever pieces needed to make it work. Resign Powel from their I don’t care that core group is better than average and good defensively

    Dame
    Powel
    Simmons
    Roco
    Nurk

    Ant
    Collins
    Grab a good athletic big who can switch on “D” and block shots

    That's one hell of a random bump.

    I just read the thread. I agree that we should sign Kanter for the max, but Tunchi is right that OKC would match, so let's get KJ McDaniel.
