    Millsap in the West now.......Ryan Anderson having to guard him 4x a year is no bueno.

    Would have been a great fit, I've always thought that. This is yet another big name off the FA list. Hopefully Melo is bought out soon so we can make an attempt to snag him. I'm cool with what we have so far but some cheap pieces are missing right now.

    I'm all about rest next year. the West is going to beat themselves up. Lebron might not have to suit up until the conference finals.

    Hate it. Life goes on. Let's see if we can snag Melo I guess.

    This sucks. We wen t from Chris Paul and Harden teaming up with Paul George and or Melo and or Milsap and or Blake Griffin to Chris Paul, Harden teaming up with PJ Tucker.

    Congrats on your pay day Millsap. I hope you don't care about winning...

    $30m/yr for Paul Millsap???? A guy who is a career 14 ppg scorer and has never come close to averaging double digits rebounds despite being a PF???

    Has the whole NBA gone bat **** crazy?

    You don't think Denver will be good? They were one of he better teams innhe seocnd half and Millsap fits wonderfully...


    Or are you speaking about winning a ring? Cause yeah hat ain't happening.

    Hawks have enough cap room to absorb Rhynos contract now...

    HIGH percentage?

    Well, it doesn't get much higher than Denver, in more than one sense of that word.

    Gallo over Melo for me. Do they want a 2nd rounder and non guaranteed contracts for Gallo sign n trade? Since practically no one but the Clippers has shown an interest in Gallo, I'm guessing he's available at a decent price.

    No, I don't think they are going to be very good. Especially since they are going to lose Gallinari now.

    I'm very surprised. Very...and not much surprises me. We were on his short list, but I think the role he'll have in Denver was the seller. With that, I'm sorry that one of my Ears was wrong. He was super confident that we had Sap, but Denver paid up. It happens, but I'll apologize. We were right there though damnit....Sometimes, things change so fast. Cyber knows that, but Cyber is THE MAN! I'm just that dude that hangs in some cool circles lol.

    Sap is a great player. I knew he was special when he played for the j*zz.

    But don't worry just yet. One guy isn't going to carry us over.

    We need a core.

    That's still ongoing.

    Free Agency just started. There are diamonds in the ROUGH everywhere. I'll be regrouping shortly.

    Tonight is chirping in PHX. The PJ effect is helping. Do you like the Knight? No Parsons, but I like a suggestion Kid Dynamite helping these Rockets explode.

    Indiana is committed a rebuild, and we're exploring a Rocket Killer to replace our loss in SweetLou.

    Also, the usual suspect in NY is in play, too. That's where the big stuff will happen for the league.

    I'll reiterate the theory: One holdup is Mr. Love. The popular claim is "No one wants to take Kevin Love." If someone takes Kevin Love, you'll have some big pieces moving around. Melo and Love are not buddies, but they are connected more than you can imagine right now.

    If I were DM, I'd take KL in a heartbeat. I'd give up Capela for him, too.

    Cleveland does not show Kevin's talent, just like Miami showed Bosh to be a minimal threat. Bosh as "The Man" was a beast.

    I've never been high on Milsap. I do like the team we have now. I REALLY like the Tucker signing. He will give us what Pat Bev used to give us in hustle and junk yard dog!!

    @Codman very appreciative of your posts and insights but it's time to get some rest brother. I worked in oncology for a few years and seen how radiation and chemo takes away your energy.
