Re: BREAKING NEWS If it is 14 mil for two years and a team option for a 3rd this is a fantastic signing. It gives us two years to let Bayless develop and if he doesn't it gives us a third year to find someone else.

59 and WCF. We had the second best differential last year with 4 rookies. With each of the rookies improving incrementally we should pick up a few more wins. People are freaking out over our lack of moves this off season but we have only lost Sergio and Frye from our rotation. They were the last...

A couple things about this. First, I doubt this was on the table at all. If Hedo was the real target and this was available we would have matched Toronto's offer. Travis for a pick clears 3.6 million off our books meaning we would have more than 11 million in cap room. Second, I bet the pick...

Re: Portland Working out Sean May in Vegas I wonder if May will be able to pass McMillan's preseason fitness test.

Because he could have accepted the qualifying offer. That would cut our cap space in half. If we really want him we can sign him with our cap space now. We just don't hold his bird rights.

I hope KP goes after J Chill now. Maybe in a S&T for Outlaw. Then go after Mcdyess, Powe or Bass to backup PF.

I have wanted Childress for two summers now. He is a good all around player and doesn't demand the ball. He would be a perfect match for our team. Plus he will be at least a couple of million less a year than Turk.

Powe was my number one choice for PF prior to the injury. This is a great opportunity to buy low on him. We have 2 rookies that could temporarily cover for him if he isn't back by the start of the season.

I'm glad you posted this. I immediately thought of Dr Funke the Analrapist when I saw that post.

I'd rather have Josh Childress or Marvin Williams. I don't think either of them are in a position to ask for 10 mil a season and they won't be declining at the end of their deals.

We will always have cap space or the MLE to sign these guys. No I don't think we should use the space on Freeland. I was pointing out that it is an option available to us.

I keep hearing that Claver, Freeland or Koponen will not be able to be signed if they turn into studs because we will not be able to match the money they are able to get in Europe. I don't believe this is true. According to the portion of the CBA linked and quoted below; If you wait for 3 years...

Someone mentioned it previously but my guess would be: Sergio, Travis and #24 for #8 and Jeffries. The cap hit would be about 3 mil. That leaves us room to get another player but doesn't give us enough to get a someone above the MLE. The only reason a deal can't be announced now but could be...

380 to Right? 350 to Center? 310 to Left? Those are crazy dimensions. 380 would be longer than any MLB park. 350 is about 50 feet too short and 310 is equivalent to the Green Monster or the RF Wall at PacBell in SF. Although the wall in SF quickly goes out to 421 and Fenway is 420 in right...

I think a better comparison for OKC is the Bulls from a few years ago. Great young perimeter players but no big men. If they don't win the Griffin sweepstakes or convince a good PF/C to sign with them this summer I don't think they will go very far. However if they can get a good PF/C they will...
