    I don't even know with KD anymore. I was sold he would go home to play for the Wizards, where he could potentially have more success in the East. They would hypothetically be an ECF lock vs the Cavs every season. However the Wizards seem to have regressed, and I'm not sold he'll go there. There were talks about the Warriors which don't make sense to me. I bet they would rather keep what they have then try to change their identity, why try fix whats not broken? That's a greedy move, and greed does not often do you well.

    I'd say the Thunder are probably front runners, I don't know what his relationship with Harden is like, so I can't speak towards Houston. But you've got to think they are either very much in the mix, or not at all.

    I think Portland would fall behind many teams in his priority list. I'm not sure what affect a first round matchup would/could have on his decision. If we somehow beat the Thunder in a series do we move high on his list? Does he actually harbor resentment that we did not take him #1?

    There's a lot of questions regarding Durant's FA, even more regarding him coming to the Rose City.

    Jeremy Lin is climbing my list. The way he is playing I think he could be out of our price range. He's right there with Barton for 6th man of the year.

    Some potential bargains:

    D.J. Augustin
    Jonathan Simmons
    Jared Dudley
    Ian Mahinmi
    Marvin Williams

    Don't we always go looking for bargains? Just once I'd like to make a splash.

    Then we'd probably end up like Houston. Look at that clusterfuck.

    Fwiw -- My pipedream targets are KD and Horford.

    Fournier is another one.

    Fournier is a nice offensive player, but I have yet to see him be a decent defender.
