    Another potential free agent idea depending on how the playoffs go; Timofey Mozgov.

    He's had a down year in Cleveland, had some injuries, is a bit past his prime at 29, but is a big 7'1". Provides decent defense, rim protection, and interior scoring. Has a useful midrange jumper if we wanted to play him with Ed Davis. Played much better last season. Could be the odd big man out in Cleveland depending on what they do with Thompson, Frye, Love, and the trade exceptions we gave them.

    I think Dorrell was smoking weed. That's just my opinion. Every time I saw him not in uniform he looked high.

    Boban Marjanovic on the Spurs has been very effective when in the games. He'll be a restricted free agent. Massive 7'4" guy he makes Duncan look like a kid. Had a good run in backup units against Golden State and OKC. Can rebound, putbacks, hit shots inside, protect the rim, good free throw shooter, solid fundamentals. Older rookie at 27.

    The Spurs players are tough to bid on because sometimes you don't know if its the system or the player. Works to the Spurs advantage where the league is scared to bid on their players because they might be fo0ls gold. Then the Spurs keep everyone for below market prices.

    Seems like Dame could really help show him how to balance basketball with his personal endeavors.

    Just saw Boban has a PER of 27.4! That's right there with LeBron James for 4th in the NBA, above CP3 and Kawhi. Nuts.

    Spurs probably match; but maybe we can make it unpleasantly expensive for them.
