    I left Durant off for obvious reasons.

    Let's wait until we see how trade season shakes out first?
    Otherwise the answer is 'it depends'
    And then Durant. Why leave him off? What are the obvious reasons that people wouldn't want us to target him??

    This off-season will greatly influence the trade season with the new salary cap (and it already has).

    I think it's obvious every team will try to sign Durant in the off-season. Let's make this a poll about other possibilities. Who do you think fits best with Dwight and Harden? The Rockets have only had one major FA signing (not re-signing) since acquiring both Harden and Dwight.

    Title question and Poll question are not the same.

    we will go after Durant firstly..depending on how long he takes to make his decision most of those players could have already signed. Especially Conley.

    From your list, I really like Conley, Batum and Ryan Anderson.

    I think Conley and Anderson could be had. I think Batum is probably going to get some really big offers. I think we can get Conley and Anderson for 12-14M/year, each.

    Point Guard and Power Forward have been our biggest needs for the longest time so I would think we try to get at least one of those.

    I don't think I need to explain why we should go hard at Ryan Anderson. He always torches us and is an amazing shooter.

    I like Conley's game, especially next to Harden. Good defender, can shoot, make plays off the dribble and is comfortable playing off ball.

    I have a feeling we are going to end up with Bayless, Scola, Anderson and Dudley.

    Al Horford please. With Dwight on a slightly reduced deal and Batum.

    Whoops, I left off Derozan who would probably win this poll.

    So then I guess these FAs will be the most coveted:
    1. Derozan
    2. Horford
    3. Conley
    4. Durant
    5. Anderson
    6. Whiteside
    7. Batum

    Conley will resign in Memphis. He has said it is incredibly hard for him to leave Gasol.
    Conley Durant Derozan Batum Horford Whiteside are all max players.
    Apparently some executives think that Rhyno will also get a max. SMH.

    I love Conley here. If you have Conley, Beverley, Harden in the backcourt you're set for 4 years there. Then you address the 4 however you can over-time. But solidify that backcourt asap and you're doing Harden's game a big favor.

    Conley/Harden - Morey wont mess with that duo. It'll be a cornerstone.

    I like Conley. Out of all the really good point guards, he fits best with Harden. I doubt he will come here if we don't get the coaching situation figured out though.
