    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    We know they're meeting with Asik but the whereabouts of Olshey is very hush-hush.

    Hmm...

    Gordon or Lou Williams?

    @BlazerFreeman: #Blazers might pursue a veteran PG, but he will be signed knowing his role is to mentor Lillard and not compete for starting spot.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    I assume you're talking about Eric Gordon...?

    If so, how is that even a question? It also seems like the Hornets (who have the right to match any offer for Gordon) are commited to build around him, Davis, and Rivers, meaning that unless there is a ridiculous contract offered to Eric Gordon this summer (ie: 13-15 a year), he'll remain a Hornet for at least another season.

    Jason Kidd? Kidd has indicated, according to what I've read, that he's okay with a backup position going forward.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    The rumors say he's going to wherever Deron goes to back him up.

    I'm guessing he wants to be on a contender though...

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Yeah, I was going to add that it was probably only in the right situations. I read his being open to a backup position in connection to Golden State, but that may just be due to home town.

    Looking through the free agent list those were the guys that I thought might be willing to be mentors

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    I think Billups is our best chance at a high quality veteran backup PG strictly because him and Olshey have a great relationship. Even that seems like a long shot...

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    Olshey is meeting with a "top free-agent" so that cancels out a lot of guys.

    Jason Quick is slacking.

    Here is an interesting name.

    Michael beasley.

    I wouldnt like it, but his age falls in line with our core and he does have talent.

    Re: Ridiculously Expensive Agency

    With the team sending a rep to meet with Asik tonight all the signs points towards Gordon IMO.
