    At this point it's time to gutt Gordon with Anderson for Melo

    Anyone who thinks we'll make it past the 2nd round with role players is a idiot. Either sign Melo or stfu about trying to "stay in the race". Without Melo CP3 is gone

    I loved the trade for CP3 and we are better, but are we better than the warriors? To me, that's the ultimate goal competing for a ship, not a deep run in the playoffs. Hopefully we aren't done, hopefully we can get Milsap and or melo, but it doesn't feel that way at all. It's seems okc changed a lot of plans for teams around the league.

    Morey is kind of a genius if you think about it. He is pretty much the mastermind behind salary cap maneuverings around the NBA.

    Like some of you have said, E.G. Is probably being dangled in deals.

    Side Note: CP3 is going to turn Capela into a DJ clone and maybe better.

    Prediction of the year. The guy is about to come into his own. Watch.

    Doesn't help Cleveland at all. They be stupid to do that. While point for them is to dump shump for nothing back to save money and get out of hard cap situation

    Simple 3 way. NGs to Cle, Shump and Gordon to NY for Melo to Houston.

    Followup with Anderson/1st for Wade.

    Banana boat filling up fast.

    To be clear, I'm not mad at morey for this. It's a great value move I just don't like the player

    It helps them re-sign Korver and gives them flexibility for future deals.

    That has been frustrating to me. That's why I'm hoping Ibaka may be talked into joining us.

    Atl: RFA Hardaway
    UFA Thabo Sefolosha
    UFA Millsap
    UFA Ilyasova

    Prince would be only SF listed
    No PF's if Millsap & Ilyasova leave. Ryno?? Ryan is a serviceable PF for a rebuilding team that wants shooting.

    He's top 10. He's even in a few recent reputable top 5 lists.

    We're are going to have by far the 2 best play makers in the league, both who can penetrate and collapse a defense at will whenever they want. At least one of those guys are going to be on the court at all times. Makes sense if we get a few wing guys who are good defenders who can also hit a kick out 3 at a decent enough clip.

    Harden and CP3 is an insane superstar duo. Especially in a guard friendly league. Using a superstar spot at the 5 like Howard just doesn't work anymore. Look at LMA last year. KATs amazing but he can't sniff the playoffs or an All NBA team.

    Sorry, went off a tangent. But yeah. CP3 is comfortably in the Top 10. Somewhere between 5 and 7.

    I like this site for quick news updates.

    But this time of year it really goes to hell with people playing couch gm and having no clue how the nba cap or flexibility work.

    Everyone just sitting around for Bima Thug to tell them what has happened or what we can do.

    How about you guys instead of just waiting for him to tell you whats possible, you actually take his explanations and learn how this works so in the future you understand more and not just talking out of your ass in anger.

    I think you are significantly undervaluing the impact of adding a top 10 player like Chris Paul. They are a 55-60 win caliber team with CP3 replacing Williams and Bev.
