    I just listened to the last Courtside episode and that is what Neil said. He said they had a list of 5 or 6 veteran wings to sign with the MLE but they were outbid on every one. Thoughts? Trevor Ariza?

    Isn't it obvious?

    1) LeBron James
    2) Kevin Durant
    3) Paul George
    4) Seth Curry
    5) Nik Stauskas

    I don't understand what some people are so upset about. Neil got 2 of the 5 guys his list. For a team that struggles to attract free agents, 40% is pretty damn good. Neil is the Ted Williams of NBA GMs.

    I'd say Lebron, Kawhi, DeRozan, Ariza, Beasley

    Kawhi and DeRozan were not free agents.

    yet strangely both are on new teams this season.....but you're right...I should have stipulated "targeted " instead of targeted free agents

    How is Robin not #1?

    Probably never heard "He is a Chewy to this players Hans" or any other combination except Batman to his Robin.
