    Problem is the Warriors could potentially get better.

    James, James...does Scott Foster ring a bell???

    Lebron if he comes, is the answer to the reigning Western Conference Finals MVP.

    Thats BS and Harden should know better.

    Coming close doesn't mean anything going forward.
    - OKC were in the finals once upon a time and were 3-1 up against the warriors, but are still waiting to win it all.
    - Mavs were almost 3-0 up before Miami turned it around, and it took them 5yrs to get back there
    - Miami had best conference record and were close to the finals in 2005, but ithey didnt run it back 2.0, Riley fired SVG, blew up the team and they won it all the next season

    Bottom line, if you fall short once, no matter how close you were, you need to add better pieces and look to improve your margin for success. More so when your star is on the other side of the hill.

    If the focus is on getting healthier, we'll likely be out of focus.

    If we:

    1. Stay healthy when it matters the most
    2. Bring back the same team
    3. Add a complementary player or two on the bench for depth

    I don't see why we can't be another 60+ win team.

    Everyone has to realize that even though this team won a bunch of games last year and had great chemistry, it was Year ONE. Sure other teams can get better through trades and acquisitions but don't discount familiarity and an offensive system that gets points on the board.

    Next year won't be a hangover year like when the team went to the WCF with Dwight on the team.

    Marc Stein is reporting that KD is opting out of the final year of his deal. Would be sweet if we could lur him away.

    We wouldn't even have the cap room to make that happen. Plus, Snake loves his beta lifestyle right now.

    And Better is a white Power Forward

    Harden doesn't even want Lebron here guys. He'd steal his shine and Adidas would hate it.


    We chose our franchise player and it's James Harden.

    You know how you pull chicks? By not acting desperate and making them want you. You want to be chosen off the rack.

    Recruiting 101. I've been saying for weeks that the main reason that Lebron should pick us is that WE DO NOT NEED LEBRON JAMES.

    We just need a few more role players, Melo will get bought out. He’ll replace joe Johnson. We can get a center like Kyle OQuinn to replace Tarik Black, and pick up another guard in Jamal Crawford and I think we’re set. As long as warriors don’t add more depth. Iggy will be a year older and less effective. We’ll be fine. Lebron if he goes to LA/Philly won’t be good enough to beat us
