    No one's mentioning Kevin Love. He'd be a nice addition.

    Give me some CP3. Another ball handler along with Harden. Plus with CP3s leadership I see only a plus. I dont see CP3 wanting to be the No1 alpha dog (Unlike Dwight).

    I'd go after GS free agents Iggy and Livingston, see if they can be signed. Both play both sides of the court.

    "To play with Harden" is the most ignorant claimed rationale for anyone doing anything I have ever heard of.

    Griffin + Houston's medical staff = MVP year

    Exactly why we need a driven, high-motor guy that can play through when Harden is taking a quarter off. Melo? Blake? Lol. No.... :(

    I hear ya....
    1st up, I have no desire to add Melo - so lets get that outta the way upfront - lol!

    For me it's Blake or Milsap or maybe Ibaka... Milsap would be a solid addition at the position of need - but the guy is 32 and a 4 yr contract may turn bad... Blake is a bigger gamble but has a higher potential upside plus being 28 a 4 year deal runs until he's 31 - so I think it is more apt to retain value as the years go forward...
    No denying blake is a gamble from maturity to injury concerns... but we're 'upping our risk profile' - so that's where i would put my chips...

    Ibaka would be a good pickup... honestly he's 3rd on my list behind Blake and Milsap - maybe higher depending on the contract he commands... I'd have put him as an option but I couldn't figure a good consensus on what he's gonna get on the fa market.... Any thoughts on a dollar amount?

    Easily Blake Griffin. CP3 is a great player no doubt, but I'm kinda loving the current rotation of Harden + EG/Bev/Lou.
    Similar age with Harden as well.
    Skill set fit well with Harden.
    And the flop duo will irritate the hell out of everyone. Plus Bev and Nene peskiness, get tony allen and rox will easily be the most hated team in the league.

    Only Lebron.
    Then Durant or Curry
    Draymond
