    I think your number is close. But 15.5 a year? No thanks when I can have DeMarre for 12 a year.

    Also Hibbert is an expiring. It's not like we have a 15 mil player for the next 3 years. If he becomes beast, then pay him. If he is meh, then we have another 15 mil to toss at a free agent

    Middleton is younger and fits the offense we run a bit better. If Henderson is gonna be our 2 we need more shooting.

    Aldridge/Plumlee/Lopez/Meyers/Vonleh works for me.

    I think we just don't need Jordan or Hibbert (Unless it is to appease LaMarcus of course.)

    I think we should put our cap space eggs in a different basket.

    I can't wait to see what Olshey has in mind, because he definitely has something in the works.

    I just can't see Olshey going that expensive. Especially on a restricted which ties up money for 3 days.

    I suspect it will be something none of us are thinking. There is a reason why he's keeping the cards close to his chest. I suspect he's got big things in the works. At least things he wants to make sure other general managers aren't thinking of or they would probably take it away from him.

    You think he could arrange a S&T for Durant?

    That is a good point with 3 days but I think he is a Neil type guy.

    So George went Hoe b4 Bro? Not a good idea when you already have so many others hoes to pick from.
    I can see where that would fuck up a championship run. Makes me rethink things.

    Karma with the injury???????

    Yeah man, and as the rumor goes, Hibbert and George were like best buds. It took Lance Stevenson and some other player to mediate the tension, which is even more of a disaster.

    I don't recall saying "All rooks are bad." But apparently I did, so I recant.

    Addendum to the Hibbert debacle. It was his fiancé that Paul George slept with.

    I could only imagine the vitriol I would feel of an organization that really didn't have your back because their star player was the cause of the issue. Would you want to give your all for that team? The team that basically forced you to see the guy that cheated on your fiancé for most the year? And would you want to play hard for your best friend that stabbed you in the back?
