    I'm not so sure that a team that replaces Dwight with Lin and Anderson isn't better next year. Not my preferred route, but I doubt they would be worse.

    Anderson is a very bad move.

    The way that the salary cap is structured, Minny prob has the best chance at a title contender in the next few years.

    Harden requested help at the guard position a few years ago. Honestly, I think he walks when he becomes a free agent because Morey hasn't done jack about upgrading the roster or getting him help in the backcourt

    How is that? Dude is a really good shooter, decent rebounder, and creates space on the floor. We need shooters.

    He wouldn't be the only move we make.

    He's not that good of a shooter, look at the numbers, he's way overrated, it seems like he's one of the best shooters in the league, well, he's not. And he's also a chucker, he just shoots way too much and takes too many bad shots. One of the worst defenders in the league, cant' play more than one spot...i mean, there's at least one thing this guy can do very well to hide the fact that he's pretty bad in everthing else?

    According to Calvin...

    Horford
    Durant
    Whiteside
    Anderson

    Maybe Conley or Lin

    Mehhh...

    Anderson & Lin seem like the only realistic targets.

    Never mind they don't even have meetings lined up with any of these guys. Not reported anyways.

    Anderson's the only one they have a shot at and they'll have to overpay badly to get him.

    Daryl Morey in 2014: "The teams that find the Chandler Parsons, not the ones that pay them the max, are the ones that succeed long term"

    Daryl Morey in 2016: "The teams that find the Chandler Parsons, that chooses not to max him the first time but maxes him the second time after his slew of injuries, are the ones that succeed long term"

    If Durant has already let it be known that he's not considering us, WTF is up with letting it leak that we're still chasing him? How will that help with the recent trend of taking Ls?

    Harden requested a pg and did absolutely NOTHING to alter his game once we got one. Granted Ty wasn't himself. But what did Harden change about his game when Ty got here? He actually took MORE shots and became MORE selfish. Him asking for a PG was hogwash. He needs the ball to be effective. When Marcus Thornton was beasting for us, I think it was Harden in the coach's ear telling them not the play him.
