    Even if George was in Houston, he's not really a Free Agent. The only way he could make a trade to be in our favor is if he were to leak that he would sign an extension with us or something. Otherwise, it's all in Indiana's court as to where he actually ends up.

    Zeller contract becomes guaranteed after the 2nd July though, isn't that enough time to know if Hayward, Griffin or whoever they are going after is willing to sign with them?

    I doubt that Hayward will make his decision on the first day since he has like 3 team meetings planned. But who knows. Maybe if the George deal is already put in order he will sign straight up.

    Yeah, unless Hayward has already decided and this is a charade for him, I don't think he's signing by July 2nd. Most of the guys that are actually exploring options will sign after the July 4th vacation.

    Who knows though.

    So if Hayward stays with Jazz, they won't trade for George?

    Here's to hoping Hayward stays with the Jazz then...

    No tampering man, just Harden having a chat and setting his boy George up with some of Houston's finest strippers.

    I hope Hayward signs with the Celtics, they trade most of their assets for George, during the year there are problems with players fighting for the ball and George leaves for La.

    I read that they would instead pursue Griffin if Hayward doesn't want to come to Boston. And then trade for George. It seems like they want to trade for him either way but won't do it unless they get a star in FA to pair with him.

    That would make the Spurs, the biggest threat to sign CP3. In fact, I think they are the biggest threat to Houston right now for his
    services, but if LMA gets traded, then Chris Paul might become a Rocket, unless he signs for the max with a depleted Clippers team.

    Somehow not impressed :cool:

    Harden, Paul, George, Gordon > Thomas, Hayward, George, Horford :D

    And that's if we're not adding Cousins in few months...

    More like Big 1.5

    Not sure any of those guys other than George have earned being considered part of "Big _".

    Ha, I briefly saw(didn't follow) that Cousins thing take off in the Chris Paul thread? Where the hell did that come from?

    I see some are dreaming big here errr really got something up their sleeves here. ;)

    Honestly, I'm not even sure that Celtics team beats Cleveland (with Wade and/or Melo) let alone Golden State. I mean, they'd PROBABLY beat Cleveland, but it would be a 7 game series whereas GS would sweep their way to the Finals yet again.
