    Morey is letting all the pawns run into the free agency war using up all their money. I think Morey will come back and resign our FAs (I think we might lose one FA).

    Then he will have his way with under valued players who could help this team take the next step....

    Jerebko

    Think san antonjo just officially took itself outof the sweepstakes. And its a good price for danny green. Wait to see what afflalo and the dead corpse of matthews will get.

    Seeing Lillard, Davis and Leonard getting max extensions made me wonder: When are we able to talk to Harden about extending?

    $11 mill a year for a 3andD player with next yaer's salary cap booming is a bargain. I'd pay $11 mill for Green before I pay $15 mill for Parsons.

    Again, it means nothing. Spurs can still keep Green/Leonard's cap holds, sign LMA, and then go over the cap to sign their current players to new deals.

    Are you sure? Then why all this talk about Duncan needing to take a paycut and Splitter needing to be shipped out in a S&T? And every single writeup I've read about the Spurs has said they'd probably have to let Green walk. It looks to me like they're just bringing back last year's team and giving up on Aldridge.

    I think he is probably doing alright with his 8 million a year. There's only so much stuff you can buy.

    Agree 100%. I really believe in Gordon, seems like a modern 4, plays hard, brings energy. There is no reason to put something ahead of him if there is not a window to win.

    Still. If they move splitter they dont have center depth besides duncan (?) and lma wont sign there. No center no deal.

    Ok. I take it back. I guess they still can make this happen. How much is their payroll gonna be next year though? And does this mean they can still resign Belinelli, Joseph, or Bonner who are all free agents? If not, their bench will be Manu(assuming he comes back at a discount) and Diaw.

    I'd probably be fine with LMA/Rolo to LA. That would kill Portland, LA still probably wouldn't be a playoff team.

    This. Everyone said Green was the odd man out. Surely this matters in some way.

    Not to say they still can't get LA, apparently they can.

    Harden is a bargain seeing all this ridiculous prices.

    4/45 for the epitome role player like Green? 9-10 for Brew? 20 per for Sap?

    Thanks but i'll have Harden at about 15 per year

    Green will have a 7 million dollar cap hold, so there is definitely some backlash here.

    Is cyberx trolling? He clearly asked about the Rockets meeting.

    If Aldridge really wants to win he would not ask the Lakers to bring in Lopez. I'll buy that he prefers signing with LA but can't see them bringing in Sideshow Bob.

    S&T Green to Portland?

    Lillard
    Green
    Aminu
    Plumlee

    isn't a bad start in rebuilding
