    It's gotta be Horford and Durant following as plan A.

    Once Durant drops, I think you make a run at Parsons and Lin. (I know)

    Honestly harden + horford alone and if we pick up some amazing role players could get us pretty far. We also have the potential to trade for the likes of Eric Bledsoe if horford is the only player we scoop up

    Love to add lee, parsons, Eric gordan and etc if that happend

    2 guys with health problems, an aging star, a guy who is pretty talented but a headcase, and a small forward who isn't that special

    Morey would definitely want Jack off the Nets.

    Could be wrong but I think they only have room for two max deals.

    They'd be overpaying Conley and Batum just like they did Matthews. Those guys aren't even the best players on their current teams.

    I get that almost every team has money to spend, but the teams that spend their money wisely will end up being the best teams.

    I think not pissing off players under contract will be a bigger concern for GMs than all these writers and talking heads think. I just can see how any GM can bring in someone like Tyler Johnson @ $10 mil and expect his new teammates to be okay with it.

    I hope the Rockets will strike out on all of those rumored players and just sign couple mid level guys like 15-18 per and fill out the roster with quality bench, and then laughing at the teams that will got Bazemore, Horford, Whiteside in 10 months later.

    So they win 35-40 games with those guys instead of 40-45 with the more expensive guys? :p

    DJ Augustin would be a great backup for us with Beverley starting. I've wanted Augustin ever since Lin left

    Yes, I've been wanting him for a couple years now. Forget backing up Beverley, he should be starting over him if we can get him.
