    LOL. Frye isn't going to play 30+ mins a night for the whole season. If they trade Love, their big man rotation is, Frye and TT. That's it.

    Dudley arranged second meeting with Utah.
    Looks he's heading there.
    Did we even have a meeting with him at all?

    Can we swing a trade for Boogie? That would be the ultimate for this offseason.

    Frye and Love on the same team is redundant. My guess is one of the reasons they traded for him was as insurance against sending out love.

    Your thinking in terms of traditional centers and PFs. Lebron is the PF on that team. LEBRON needs a backup. That's what Frye and Ariza would provide. Whether Thompson needs a backup is a separate question, but Love wasn't that anyway.

    Let's not forget that Love did not play well for most of the playoffs, and it's not because he doesn't have talent. It's because he's a bad fit for Cleveland.

    Jamal Crawford

    This guy, Jamal Crawford, still has something left in the tank and can shoot. He can put the ball in the basket. Why don't we talk to him. He is the reigning 6th man of the year.

    My guesses on the rest of FA

    Horford to OKC
    Wade to Heat
    Dirk to Mavs
    Biyombo to Mavs
    Anderson to Houston
    Bazemore to Hawks

    It's a good thing Houston is such a destination city.

    Maurice Harkless still out there. Was averaging 12-7 in starts with Portland, and he is so young.

    All that said, he is still working on his jumper. Wouldn't mind another defensive minded, young athlete.

    Yup. Already got the defensive tools. And decent (but inconsistent) mechanics to work with. I'd like to sign him to a budget deal if he becomes unrestricted.

    who has a better chance of becoming a serviceable outside shooter between him and KJ?

    In my opinion, him. KJ crapped the bed last year for us. He had all summer to work on his jumper. Nothing changed.

    However Harkless is a 3/4. KJ is a 2/3 who can defend a lot of 1's, in my opinion. I'm disappointed in his development however.

    "Dekker is a certified scrub who's in this league just because he got lucky that an overrated gm like triple chinned fat hamburger Maury had a pick to waste."

    Be ready for a great season by Dekker :grin:

    norris cole! if we overplay him like we do with half the team, he'd fit well enough to give harden tons of help in running the offense. i cant find anything on this guy so hopefully thats good indication he's not locked in with another team.

    we need a pg more than a center. sf pf c is clogged with decent talent. pg is dry after bev. pg first. they should be going hard after the best pgs left.
