    Yeah, T-Rob is definitely preferable to the likes of Horford, Whiteside, or Durant.

    I wonder what Elliot Williams is up to while we're at it. Can you say P-R-I-O-R-I-T-Y?

    T-Rob is as good an inside scorer as any PF. He's also a good rebounder and defender. Conley is one of the best pure PGs in the league.
    Would give us a very strong backcourt with the ability to go either stretch 4 or inside-playing 4 with Meyers and T-Rob

    Conley is going to get big money and he's going to be a starter somewhere.

    So obvious Conley is going to the Spurs. The league is going towards a disgusting direction.

    That's an inconvenient truth.

    The poll is a little bit silly: if we could actually get Durant, who would seriously say "nah, I'm going with Biyombo!" Perhaps it would be better to ask to rank them. Maybe in tiers.

    So, obviously Durant is at the top. He's a legit superstar AND it would piss off rivals, and devastate OKC.
    Horford is pretty clearly next because he's excellent at both offense AND defense. Of course, he's about as exciting as Hillary Clinton. In fact, he is the basketball Hillary Clinton. Not bad, pretty good, certainly a lot better than the alternative, but I'm not feeling it.
    I would have Whiteside almost tied with Horford just because he's young and is actually best in the entire league at the thing he's best at. I know he's supposed to be a headcase, but I think that's more being goofy and immature than crazy or uncoachable. Yes, his defense is overrated, but... He's the next DeAndre Jordan, and those can be very valuable.
    On talent and team needs I would put Batum next. But I don't think it would be healthy for anyone for him to come back. Bridges were burnt. So he's pretty much out of the running. So next I put Biyombo. He'll cost too much for what he is, but I guess that's the modern NBA.

    Fuck Barnes, fuck Howard. Colossal wastes of money. Greg Monroe-level mistakes.

    Are you calling Horford a compulsive misrepresenter of the truth? :curse:

    I didn't compare him to Trump, did I?

    I don't think Hillary is a compulsive anything. She thinks things through very carefully.

    Hillary is a fraud and a criminal... She is compulsive at trying to attain power at all cost. Sorry, I had to respond... wont talk politics again on this board. Just sick of how the media wants to ignore that she is being investigated by FBI and all the bad decisions she has made that has lead to this war on terror and then trying to turn this election into a race war to distract everyone from the truth... It is really sickening #lyingcrookedhillary!

    Sigh.

    In other news, did you know that Donald Trump has been accused of attempting to rape a child? Of course you do, because the Lamestream Media just savages Trump at every opportunity!!!!!

    Only one is under investigation by the FBI....first time in the history of this country a nominee has managed to pull that off. Such a proud moment. That doesn't mean I support the other one....just a sad state of affairs when this is the best we can do as a nation on either side.

    Now, back to our regular schedule programming.

    YOU'RE probably under investigation by the FBI. Or would be, if they could only get the budget.

    Two FAs I'd be seriously interested in:
    Joakim Noah (although, even if Washington is not offering him a max contract, it looks like he's a lot more in demand than I anticipated)
    Boban Marjanovic (I know - I've kept that a secret up to now, haven't I?)
    If the Spurs are really after big name FAs like Durant and Mike Conley, maybe they won't offer Boban much. And it would be sweet if, after some other team's center has been pushing around our plucky-but-underweight bigs, we could just turn to the bench and bring in the Human Iceberg.

    Curiously wild, personal accusation in response to a factual statement.
