    Our #1 Target should be Ryan Anderson
    Then DJ Augustine...
    We need guys who can actually play and shoot for Christmas sake!!

    KD is a pipe dream! I would ask him if he wants to come here and spend no more than 1 minute in courtship, then move on

    You say that, but here they are losing to a horrible Houston team and its been a theme for them playing like **** all season long in the 4th.

    If we get Thibs, Dwight leaves, would that be enough?

    KD doesn't want to come here only to play second banana to Sam Dekker.

    You add Durant to this team, and maybe a scoring big man, and a defensively minded coach - this team could contend.

    I've been really impressed with McDaniels, Capela, Beasley.

    Beverley looks immensely improve and has returned to form.

    Get rid of Brewer, Jones, and Howard - and this team has potential.

    Dwight would be a player Thibs would want for defensive purposes. He thinks he can motivate Dwight the right way.

    Yea he would in that scenario too (probably the most beta thing he could ever do but at least he has a ring incentive there)...but make no mistake he hates Beverly and the media portrayal of the situation expects him to. Its just so improbable on so many levels, not worth discussing.

    Durant is not coming. Maybe if he was a free agent after LAST season. Not now. Not ever. Guy has his pick of the entire league and will get the max wherever he goes. He wants a ring. There aren't going to be any rings here for a long time. He'd have to be as dumb as a rock to even consider here, no matter how many personal connections we throw at him.

    With money, harden, shooters with that money, young talent, and vets flocking to come play with durant and harden, and to top it off Thibs. This team would be ready to contend. Not toooo far fetched. No income tax. Big market. I believe.

    Okc or here are his best options. He knows GS would be viewed as a p***y move and NY isn't winning
