hehe, so all OKC got for Harden was Steven Adams and Jeremy Lamb. Presti is no genius

I think it's a play to grab Dwight. I think they want to improve their bargaining position. If they can offer a solid two All-Star caliber players, they might have a better chance of getting Howard.

If anything I think a push for LMA means Dwight let them know he wasn't seriously considering them. They'd need to use most of their ammo to get LMA, then they can focus on shedding Lee and getting into position to add more in free agency next year.

As a W's fan, I'd gladly give Bogut and either Klay or Barnes for LMA. I'd throw in heavily protected picks and/or some other lesser prospects too.

As for Barnes vs. Klay, you guys seem about as divided as W's fans. Both good prospects but no ones confusing them for stars. Barnes gets to the rim better and will be able to create for himself much better. Klay obviously a better defender and shooter. I tend to lean toward keeping Barnes mainly because we lack players who can get to the rim.

That's the problem though. Neither Klay, nor Barnes, are really star quality players. They're good role players, good starter quality players, but they're never going to be even as good as Aldridge. So that leaves us with either David Lee who is towards the end of his career, or Bogut who never seems to stay healthy. I just don't really like the deal. Like I said, if GS was willing to do both Klay AND Barnes, that would be one thing, but one or the other isn't enough imo.
 
Sounds like Sacramento preparing a big offer for Iguodola, and thus leaning towards not matching/keeping Evans. So, the Pelicans will have to do something to clear a little space. Whether that's moving Robin, or Rivers, or some other tinkering, who knows.

Some of us have real jobs.

(Mine today included 8 hours of lounging on the beach by our beach house checking email and NBA rumors). You can see I was behind.

Sacramento is offering free agent Andre Iguodala a four year, approximately $56 million contract, league sources tell Y! Sports.
 
Is anyone else going to laugh when the Timberpups STILL don't make the playoffs next season?

Sac ownership changes but their GM stupidity does not (a curse there?), if it might lead to us gettin Lopz cheap I'm down with it. BTW Lopez is decent at best, but he's probably our best value bet given what's available

RT @CAGrizBlog: Griz reach deal with Tony Allen, per source. CA story coming

14 million per year..... I never thought Iggy would get that much. This just shows how weak this free agent class is.

It shows how much money is out there. This is a players market. Too much money, not enough good players out there.

I mean, Martell Webster got 5.5 a year....sheesh.
