The more I think the more I don't want Paul. I would rather get George even if it is for one year.

Griffin would be nice, but I don't think he's the difference in making a real run. I want long athletic defenders and shooters. I want a team of George, Leonard, Middleton.

I liked ryan Anderson.
Can we ditch bev for cp3 and Trevor for griffin?
so you want to replace Beverley's team-friendly contract, his relentless defense, and leadership with a 32-year old ball-dominant point guard that will eat up cap space and can't get out of the 2nd round to save his life?

The thing that worries me more about Paul is pace of play. I don't know how well he would mesh into a Dantoni system. I am not too high on bringing back Lowry either. IF they get rid of Bev they might be better off just putting Gordon back in the starting lineup and trying to upgrade 3-5.

can someone please explain why we are targeting point guards???

Positions are very interchangeable in this offense. Go get the best players you can and let Danonti do his job.

What would y'all think about keeping Anderson and have Griffin play the 5? Not enough defense? Or would no limitations on offense be worth it?

I'd rather have Griffin at the 4, Capela at the 5, Anderson off the bench

I would focus on upgrading the 3 and 4 spot more than the 5. Capela just gets better every year, Nene would probably return on a team friendly deal, and Qi is playing in our Summer League. Not saying Griffin wouldn't be a good fit, but just have that spot a little further down the priority list. Thinking of Harden lobbing alleys to Griffin or Jordan is pretty interesting though....

So for matchups then? Against teams with post dominant centers you want Capela guarding him but other ones, Griffin is fine?

What about rim protection on driving guards?

Edit to add: received future 2nd round pick

You can't make this **** up. Hartenstein is an international 7 footer flagged by NBA doctors for potential back issues. His agent? BJ Armstrong

Multi year deal with a UFA? That seems unusual, right?

Hartenstein highlights



Morey said last night he will be on the Summer League roster. Kid is 19 years old.

Based upon that video, it is obvious why we drafted him. That was the most "Morey" highlight reel you will ever find. Dunks, 3's, and just a little defense as an after thought.

Yea, and the picks last night satisfied Morey's plan to not take on much salary if any so he can pursue trades and free agents in the offseason.

Looks like JJ Reddick doesn't necessarily want to re-sign in LA. Would be a nice fit.

Yup, Westy won it. What a joke. "But a triple double, it's been a long time." No one has done what Harden has, that's how good he was.
