    I think in the end the Rockets are not interested (or Paul isn't) either. If we got him, realize, that is our core for the next 3-4 years

    He's always been a fringe all-star player and he's an aging one at that. If the Warriors didn't exist, Milsap, CP3, and Harden is good enough to win...but since the Warriors do exist our 3rd star needs to be really a star....

    Also, you get Milsap and there is no Banana boat reunion in 2018 in Houston.

    I don't get what the Nuggets are doing, trying to sign a 32 year old fringe all star makes no sense to me.

    Them trading a young talent like Nurkic for an older player in Plumlee makes no sense to me, them not trading Gallo while they could makes no sense. They should dump Chandler/Faried/Barton for whatever value they can salvage, S&T Plumlee, let Gallo walk.

    It's so stupid for them to try to go in win now mode when they are so massively far from contending, when they have such a young talented player who won't be in his prime for another 5 years in Jokic.

    Build around Mudiay/Murry/Harris/Hernangomez/Jokic and get some good draft picks.

    true but a lot of teams have just gotten better including the Thunders and the Timberwolves and if the Jazz keep Hayward they're also will get better. We also know the Spurs will always be the Spurs and win 55 plus games.

    Small moves aren'y really what we're looking to do at this point. Knowing Morey he is being patient and is going to add a star to make sure this team suceeds. I am really hoping something happens soon but if it really is worth the wait then so be it. Little moves just turn into difficult assets to move.

    I think they're just desperate to be relevant as soon as possible...at this point i don't see another reason to why they would want Millsap which yeah, is a lot older than their core.

    Rockets only have one big on the roster not incuding that weak guy they just signed. They sorely need a powerfoward and backup center

    Looks like Millsap is going to Denver, unless Maury can pull a fast one on ATL and dump Ryno on them

    He is the only top tier FA left on the board with Ibaka re-signing in Toronto.

    Get Melo to have a chance at Lebron then get a Millsap type player at a discount.

    Reality hits but that's ok. That would have handcuffed us anyway.

    Anyone know how the use of the MLE impacts the ability to do S&T's?
