    I think it will be Ibaka just random thought, barely heard his name mentioned as part of the FA group. There was that one year that surprised everyone that they were the first ones at Lowry's door at 12:01.

    I think they're going to try to be the first person at someone's door rather than be the 2nd or third.

    I heard that most NBA executive think Ibaka is actually closer to 33 than 27.

    I think they will sneak in and meet Griffin first or Gallanari.

    I think its hilarious half the NBA is split on his true age. I didn't think you could do that in todays world

    Idk I heard Griffin and Paul were both going to join Rockets but I haven't heard any other sources say this is the case.

    I hope Millsap will join if we're going the route of not making a trade for Melo Or Goerge.

    Millsap is far superior then Griffin in the aspect of overall game and less injuries. Millsap has always had the ability to hit three pointers so he fits more with the offense. He could be our Draymond

    Seems like Holiday is staying in New Orleans...for a 5 year deal...i like Holiday but, if it's close to a max...not so much.

    Millsap's 3ball hasn't been great the last couple seasons.

    Yeah, he used to be money and clutch on the Jazz.

    Now, not so much.

    I think that added weight changed his mechanics lol

    It could improve though on this team. Plus he doesn't have to be a straight 3 point shooter, he can play as he likes. He's still miles ahead of Griffin in that category

    Morey and MDA will meet with Chris Paul and James Harden......probably at the Peppermint Club. They don't need to go meet anyone.....the players are gonna come to them.

    Drue Holiday is a bit too expensive for a team that already has Harden and Paul. Maybe we can sign his brother Dustin.

    Millsap has been pretty underwhelming from distance in recent years; .311 3P% this past season and .319 the year before.

    Is this true though? If you look at his rebounding and blocked shot production (more likely to diminish with age), he seems to have peaked around '12/13 and '13/14, or maybe even slightly before. That would actually make a lot of sense if he's several years older than his listed age. Would have been 27'ish back then and early 30's now.

    Per Zach Lowe:

    • Oklahoma City. The Thunder have zero cap flexibility, two interesting free agents (Taj Gibson and Andre Roberson) who would rocket them way into the tax, and an MVP with a year left on his contract. Buckle up.

    I wonder if the Rockets can go after Andre Roberson (restricted). He'd be totally against type (crappy shooter), but then we did have Corey Brewer.

    That banana boat seems to think Harden can be LBJ lite in their dream scenario !! Pipe dream but fun!
