    Rondo
    McLemore/Belinelli
    Gay
    Cousins
    Koufos

    It's going to be tough with all the drama, but that starting lineup is pretty decent. Still a treadmill team though.

    They trade the first round pick, Stauskas, and the Thompson and Landry contracts to get Rondo and Koufos? Was it really worth it? Yeah they will probably be better, but not that much better. I don't think they were smart this offseason.

    Grizzlies are very good too. I appreciate you being modest and not including them though.

    What are the Kings doing? Didn't they draft a center?

    and Belinelli. They are demonstrably much, much better than last year.

    Grizzlies, Rockets and OKC are on the same level as the Spurs how is this supposed to be "all W teams except GSW and Spurs"? Just a troll baiting comment IMHO, he didn't add Grizz because that would beg the question why he didn't add the Rox, which are unquestionably better than the Grizz.

    It was obviously not their intention to get declined by every big FA and only sign Koufos and Rondo, hindsight is a bich. Same with Phoenix trading assets, Morey letting Lowry wait for Melo etc.

    it's a good move by sacrament. WCS will have surgery soon (either this season or the next) and is a rookie. Boogie asked for a center so he could play pf. Besides is a fallback plan incase they trade him in the end.
    A good deal is a good deal and this is a good cheap deal for a nice center.

    Karl really likes obtaining players he used to coach... Koufos was on those Denver teams with him as well.

    No they are not because the Spurs and Warriors have rings. And unquestionably better is debatable.

    Agree. I like these last few signings. Going to need Karl at his best to get them all on the same page, but they could really be decent.

    Rox have rings too hello :rolleyes: Everything is debatable however the Rox finished 2nd in the regular season and in the playoffs with two starters injured so it is ridiculous you'd omit them in your statement. Anyway I'm done here you're obviously just trying to bait people.
