    There's been a lot of rumors that we are looking into him but we're just waiting for the Melo deal. It's been burried probably because all of the Melo rumors and threads.

    Might be true because the grizzlies gave him an offer sheet on July 4. There hasn't been any news regarding him since then. So who knows.

    Hopefully we get him

    Great discussion guys - really appreciate all your input.

    An additional question - are there any FAs out here who we could potentially get? I know folks are high on the Green who played for Memphis.

    Their death lineup:
    Draymond Green
    Kevin Durant
    Andre Iguodala
    Klay Thompson
    Steph Curry


    Our Death lineup:
    Nene
    Melo
    Gordon
    Harden
    CP3


    That's how we match up. They better put some respect on these names!

    just make ryan do all the dirty work. he's not much interested in scoring or shooting wide open threes come playoff time. make him useful by sticking him on the lma's, lopez's, griffin's of the league.

    coach -no scoring no problem you'll be our designated post defender
    ryan - wait what?
    coach - if you foul out i'll kill ya!
    ryan - sht your serious? ok i'll lock em up coach

    Durant > Harden
    Curry > CP3
    Thompson > Melo
    Green > EGo
    Igudala > Nene

    Theat's ranking each team`s quality. GSW is still a better team all around. But that's not really the issue. There is nothing we can do to get on the same level as GSW - only a big 3 with LeBron and Harden (and either CP3 or Melo) could maybe do that, but that was not in the cards.

    But we really closed the gap and we should be able to really challenge them in a playoff series. If we get Melo without losing Capela/Ariza/EGo/Harden/CP3 we are the second best team in the league. And that's a hell of a job by Morey...
