    Harden
    Howard
    Ariza
    Beverley
    Jones
    DMo
    JSmoove
    Brewer
    Terry
    Prigioni
    Dorsey
    Papanikoloau
    Capella
    Johnson
    McDaniels

    I don't want to dump anybody for McGee. Whether it be for potential, expiring contract, or sheer talent, I like the guys who are currently on our roster. The chemistry is good, and James Harden has only begun to get cookin'.

    Would we really keep dorsey past the offseason anyways? He plays hard, but I just dont see him as an NBA player. One has to think we would try and upgrade the C postion he would obviously be the odd man out especially if we draft or sign a C with NO pick or FA. Couldn't we just buy him out so he doesnt count against the cap? Or would he still coumt against the cap?

    Do we really think Sam Hinkie would let McGee go if he knew he would sign with Dallas or Spurs, only decreasing his buddy Morey and former team of 7 years that gave him an opportunity of winning a title? It will be us or an east team. Milwaukee perhaps?

    McDaniels is clearly part of our future plans. Why would Morey trade Canaan and an early 2nd round pick if he didn't plan on re-signing him?

    With McGee on the team, my concerns for the size of DeAndrea, LaMarcus, and even the health Dwight Howard is GREATLY diminished!!

    We in championship mode in next 5 years, no overrated rookies that are coming from awful teams with below average stats are in our plans. Sure, if no other team will give him more than 1M/y then we keep him, but I doubt we pay him more...

    We have Ariza all through 17/18 season, also Brewer for 15/16, Papa on team option for next year. He won't get any playing time, why should we keep him?

    I bet he's going to Dallas. He will have significant minutes there and he's the perfect Brandon Wright replacement.

    Brewer has waived that player option so he may be gone after this season. Papa will get waived. Also if Brewer stays, I think there's a good chance that Ariza gets traded if Morey is serious about making a run for Durant in 2016.

    We asked him to decline player option, cause it was 5M$. We still could sign him...

    Yes, but other teams could pry him away.

    For all his flaws, you simply can't teach size and length. With us, it will be his first taste at winning which can the ultimate motivation to change. If we can keep Josh Smith in check, I think we can do the same with McGee. I can't believe I'm saying this but with Dwight out, we kind of need a Javale McGee...

    Can't wait for Javale to sign with the Rockets so we can be on every highlight reel of Shaq'tin a Fool.

    Seriously, This guy has such a low IQ it could potentially hurt our chances in the playoffs
