    In all honesty, great job by Taj. When someone shoots an airball when im under the basket im too worried about positioning to notice its a miss. Taj was on top of it lol

    Wasn't he an MVP candidate like 2 or 3 seasons ago?

    Also, I wouldn't mind having his sister at the games :)
    Possibly nsfw because girl?

    I mean I wouldn't mind him but I really want to ride with Capella. He has so much potential and the fact that he can step out and guard makes him so valuable. We have way more pressing needs elsewhere

    Morey did try to trade for him last season. After the injuries I don't know how much interest still exists.

    High BB IQ, great passer, plays with fire. He's just so often injured.

    If the contract is reasonable ("reasonable" by 2016-17 standards) and doesn't hurt us in signing other players....well, I wouldn't rule him out.

    But we'd have to clear out some dead weight for sure (Brewer, maybe even Ariza, IF KJ and Beasley are set to step up....or there's a replacement for Ariza elsewhere on the horizon).

    I would go after him. Under valued right now, has the the perfect motor, and Capela insulates us against injury problems.

    However, we have a hole at PF and need to strengthen other positions so I'm not sure there's enough money.

    A HEALTHY Noah would be a great fit on a Van Gundy coached team.

    However Malakas has informed us that Noah is bone on bone in his knee. If Malakas is right (and I have no reason to doubt her on this) then Noah is going to be extremely minutes limited. I'd still love to have him bit 5 on a limited short term deAL of 1 or maybe 2 seasons. If he actually checked out medically and was not bone on bone in the knee I'd be open to a larger short term deal.

    So, wait. Is Malakas confirmed to be a girl now? Thought this was controversially up in the air?

    She says she's a girl and lives in Greece. Regardless she's got some connections.

    I love intangibles but if I had to pick one out of the two, I'm going with tangibles

    You could stagger Harden and Conley's minutes. Make sure that one of them was on the court at all times.

    Similar to what we were hoping to do with Lawson this year. Except for the fact that hopefully Conley doesn't forget how to play basketball

    Why - because we already have one of those?

    Think of him as insurance. He's not going to command a huge salary.
