Absolutely better. Still have Damian Lillard, right? RT @Mixum: blazers better now or worse after latest moves?

AGGGGGHHHHHH it's alive!
 
The Dubs have a good thing going that they can build on. They are going to try so hard for D12, that they are going to fuck this whole thing up. Typical Warriors thing to do.
 
An LA reporter that has been following it closely is guessing that it will be Houston. I think we will know if GS actually dumps the big contracts today.

GS has decided to keep Bogut and try to dump RJeff and Beidrins. So I think they are out of it and going for Iggy instead.

It's actually a good choice. They have the assets to build around harden and Howard. They probably have enough assets to even bring his best friend to Houston as well.

According to Sam Amick, the Warriors were given indication within the last day that the Rockets were the "strong front runners" to sign D12

Hold on....my tweet about Dwight's announcement was premature. No need to sit on Twitter this weekend.
 
Maybe he is a poster on S2 and is just messing with everybody.

Golden State has Philadelphia, Cleveland and Utah involved in talks on complicated deals for salary dumps, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Warriors have been trying to get contracts off for a long time -- do covet Andre Iguodala -- and activity may still be unrelated to Howard.
 
CNNSI reports the Bulls keep refusing to deal Noah and Butler for LMA.

Deal makes no sense to me if it did happen. Bulls would be left with gaping holes at C and SG while Portland has no use for Butler at SF or SG, and you trade a gaping hole at C for one at PF.

We certainly have use for Butler. All backup SF minutes, and probably half the available minutes at SG. I could actually see him end up being the starter soon enough. It's not that confounding.

Really? Noah played center all throughout college and pros. I think you have that mistaken. Maybe horford?
 
I say that by meaning Noah is the only guy off Chicago worth Aldridge and they won't be trading noah
 
If we were to trade Aldridge for Noah/Butler, and that's a pretty big "if", I think it signals another trade in the works to fill the hole at power forward.

I'm guessing Matthews/Leonard for ???

Millsap is still out there as a free agent. I don't think a Millsap/Noah front court would be so awesome offensively though.
 
At any rate, I like Horford but he isn't a true Center in the NBA. He plays it because he has to. He could get by at Center on our team (since LMA is also big enough to play some Center minutes) but on a team with a normal 6 foot 8 PF then he is out of place.

I pretty sure that Noah was Center and Horford was PF. However, when they played OSU then Horford would guard Oden.

I watched Florida a lot that year, and Horford was the center the majority of the time he was in the game, even if it was with Noah. I don't care what they were called by commentators or whatever. They both played both positions, and from what I saw, Horford was more of the center.

Now I can definitely get behind Aldridge for horford. I would rather have horford than Noah anyway.

I think with LMA then Noah makes more sense (But not sure how you could ever get both) but without LMA then Horford makes more sense. So agree with your take.

There is only one big I think is at the equal level as Aldridge and that's horford. My sting of losing Aldridge wouldn't hurt as bad, knowing we got horford back. He's younger too.
 
David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 28s
Source says the Warriors are sending Andris Biedrins, Richard Jefferson to the Jazz. Checking on what they're getting back.

Thats why his PER differential is significantly better at C then PF. He is a +5 or 6 at C, and a -1 or 2 at PF.

Shrug.
