    Here are some potential targets that the team could use. What do you guys think? I think we need more shooters on this team to spread the floor for Harden.

    Unrestricted: Courtney Lee, Hassan Whiteside, Jared Dudley, Marreese Speights, Ryan Anderson, Al Jefferson

    Restricted: Evan Fournier

    Miracle: DeMarcus Cousins

    With Dwight more than likely leaving, the team should have a significant amount of cap space to sign a few new players. I really believe guys like Ariza, Brewer, Terry, Smith & Jones should be let go. They've had a good run, but this team need new players and better chemistry.

    I don't think Durant will be coming here, and Dwight is pretty much out in my opinion. I think the Grizzlies will keep Conley no matter what.

    You know, you don't have to make your thread titles all caps.

    What exactly are we doing? Rebuilding? Tanking? Contending?

    Courtney Lee and another point guard. Fingers crossed for Aaron Brooks. I feel like he's due for a return.

    Always liked AB, good ball handler, great touch around the rim, crazy 3 point range. Great post-season in 2009.

    Conley is very likely to re-sign. Durant is possible. More:

    - Whiteside
    - Howard
    - Barnes
    - Horford
    - Motiejunas
    - Pau
    - Parsons
    - Llull

    What makes you think he's very likely to re-sign

    Grizzlies have tons of space. They have to rebuild around Conley and Marc, so the will put the max on the table. Honetsly, I don't see Conley leaving the franchise if he's getting the max. Of course you gotta try it to rob him still.

    I would go directly to Horford and convince him to join us if Durant joins. He says yes, you take that promise to Durant and say you're offering a coach of his choosing plus Harden and Horford as teammates.

    If this doesn't work out, we re-sign Dwight at a friendly price and build the team around Harden as best we can with our cap space. Catch and shoot players at the 1, 3 and 4 positions. Dwight and Capela at the 5. Bev, Ariza, Beasley, Harrell are good rotation guys. Young, smart coach. We can build back up slowly. Maybe that's a good enough proposition for Horford too, who knows.

    I'm just glad we're not capped into this team and we can essentially reshuffle everything this summer.

    Was a post on reddit, showing how many millions Durant loses if he leaves OKC. Like 70 million in 5 years.

    I don't think he cares. He wants a chip at this point.
