    Paul Allen’s doorstep. In his leathers, saying Daddy please let me spend your money. Or has this already taken place?

    Rudy Gay was excellent for the Spurs when he was healthy. He's got a legit post and mid-range game and doesn't play out-of-control like our forwards. Would add some veteran steadiness to the lineup.

    Rudy Gay has a career PER of 17. His numbers with San Antonio weren’t any better than his numbers with Sacramento. He’d be a significant upgrade.

    I would love for us to hunt S&T opportunities for PG.

    Like a CJ for George in a S&T. Then use the MLE for a guy like KCP/Bradley. That would be amazing. Then bring back Nurk on the QO and extend him next year.

    Dame/Bradley/PG/Collins/Nurk

    with Simons/ET/Harkless/Aminu off the bench.

    Ok, i'll wake up.

    Doug McDermott is Adam Morrison with better control over his emotions......an end of the bench white guy who’s biggest contribution is “diversity”.......

    We still only have 5.3 to work with? Hell even McDermott will get more than that. Neil will not be camping out on anyone's doorstep without the full MLE. His best bet is to wait until the end and see who falls through the cracks. He might have to wait on the LeBron negotiations as well for the TPE.....to see if we can help someone other than the Lakers get him and thereby getting a decent player in return.

    Waiting for scraps....not exactly a desirable position to be in. So little cap room....so little playoff success. NBA purgatory. Miami is in an even worse spot going into the coming season.

    Then completely distance yourself from the franchise that gave you generational wealth.

    Yeah but some times you get a solid vet when other options run out for them. Isn't that how Memphis got Tyreke Evans for 3.2?

    I'm also not interested. Only want two way players.

    Hopefully someone good falls through the cracks. Otherwise, we could be looking at something very much like the last several seasons.

    I could live with McDermott if they wanted him, but would rather take a chance on one of the younger/cheaper players they have lined up already. The plus with Doug is that he has a high bball IQ, can hit the three aggressively, and he keeps the ball moving. I could see that working okay. Just would rather use one of the guys we have in already who can hit around 40% from three and have a chance at playing better defense.

    I don't know how his defense is, but it's gotta be better than McDermott's; James Nunnally is the guy we had in for a private workout the other day.

    I am sold. I just want to yell Nunnally at the TV. In Turkish accent, if possible.
