    didn't he take a huge paycut to play for SA the other year? chasing those rings is getting expensive.

    Yep, he's trying hard to get a ring before he retires.

    Word is that he is also setting himself up for some kind of NBA organization role post retirement. Be it coaching, GM'ing, whatever.

    And getting experience and networking in the SAS and GSW organizations probably helps him there.

    That said, he's flushed a crapton of money down the drain, that's for certain.

    I don't blame any aging vet without a ring doing whatever he can to get one. If it's worth the pay cut to them, no shame in that.

    Durant, though? SMH

    OK I will rephrase "aging vet" to "player clearly past his competitive prime"

    Rockets need to get Nene and stop playing. Morey should've learned from last year not to underestimate the PF position

    We are saving our cap space for someone in particular. Expect it to materialize in the next day or to.

    Morey is working to get Kevin Love. Based off of his philosophy, I don't see there being any way that he isn't.

    J.R. Smith is still on the market.

    Would love to sign him, it would allow us to trade Ariza.

    please only say it if you know it's true. i would be pretty excited if we signed him to an offer sheet. It feels like the Spurs would be hard pressed to match at this point, but not sure what their cap situation is.
