    After over paying for Lin, I doubt Morey wants to do that again.

    Love isn't worth a max contract. Very overrated. Should've made playoffs by now, but he hasn't.

    Well this is massive news to me. Hopefully everybody tloan take there homer glasses off now. Morey to Mchale have degraded our duo stars. It sucks that they don't think highly of them but it's the system management wants to run that I keep attacking Harden. Hopefully something magicly happens and fixes our root of our problem.

    Great rebounder, very good passer, would do amazing things for our offense and does compete on defense, he is not overrated and would thrive in iur system as a stretch 4. He would make Dwight howard much better.

    You have not seen him play obviously. Because he made pekovic much better.

    I love this offseason... we are in a win-win-win or win situation.

    I would LOVE to have Kyle Lowry on this squad.

    It's hilarious how the draft is getting almost zero attention.

    :)

    Prediction: Lebron, Wade and Bosh take pay cuts and use the cap room to sign Kyle Lowry to Miami.

    For those lamenting what acquiring Lowry will do to Beverley's career... Raise your hand if you think Bev's next contract will have him making 800k per year. Dude's next contract is gonna get more expensive. Not huge by any means, but when you're talking about juggling 3 stars' salaries, plus Chandler's salary, you have to take a hard look at everyone else's.

    I am sure Bev would love to retire a Rocket. I am also sure he'd love to retire a multimillionaire. He could accept a 6th man role (ask Ginobli how demeaning that is) and a lesser payday, or he could move on. Choice will be his.

    If you can get Lowry, you do it. He would be a fantastic upgrade at a relatively weak position on this roster (one that killed us in the playoffs, I might add). Bev will do what he has to do, and let the chips fall where they may.

    I don't think it takes an insider to figure out that Pau isn't a fan of dwights game.

    We are probably option #4 for Lowry.

    1. Toronto
    2. Miami
    3. Lakers
    4. Houston

    Lowry isn't looking for a chip. He's looking for a big contract. Unless he has the chance to play with Lebron. I think most young players would give up a little $ to play with LBJ.

    And he also wasn't very accurate thru the Dwight drama. Take that for what it's worth.

    Would love to have lowry but the question is for how much.... are we willing to give up 7-8mill or even 10 mill for him? because I think he is worth that much now...

    That's just plain stupid. Kyle Lowry should absolutely be our primary target. He would have been on Lilliard if he was on our roster. Beverly is great but he needs to be coming off the bench. Trade Asik and maybe dmo or tjones for david lee and we are set. We need depth on this roster. Getting melo would destroy a good chance of that. If deng will sign for cheap I'd take him too but that is a long shot.

    pg lowry , beverly
    Sg harden,deng, daniels
    Sf deng, parsons
    Pf david lee , parsons
    C dwight, david lee, dmo

    Why the f would we want David lee? I'm guessing you went to UF?

    Good news.

    Cyberx I do believe Love and Pau is on that list as well. Even though Pau might not have any love for D12 , it would be all business if he comes here. They don't need to be friends. As far Love I still find it hard to believe he was talking trash about Harden and Howard.

    Going to be an interesting off season.

    Because he rebounds and scores and plays absolutely no defense. That's the way we like them. He's perfect for this team ;)

    I honestly don't think we have a shot at love. I think he's Cali bound. Plus he's not a free agent so why would he be on that list. I'm sure Houston is trying to work a trade, but as someone already pointed out, signing a free agent is simpler and this might be the best FA class in years, plus we don't have to give anything up; rather just dump players for cap space.

    Great news!

    And what about Rondo? He is no longer an option? I think he will be traded sooner rather than later.

    pau's issue with dwight was that they can't co exist as players, not that there was animosity, pau can't play any position but center now.

    Until they see how much of a cut they need to take.
