Great weather during the season
No state taxes

Those are valid points. But basketballwise it looks like a total rebuild has to be done. And there is better place to go to win now IMO.

The Mavericks finished 2 games worse than we did. They can create the space to sign Conley and Whiteside. Pretty easy sell to both of them that they can make another run this year, and a core of those two and Matthews going forward should be a playoff team every year

Stay away from Dwight. He makes no sense. Chemistry problems will arise, they always have with that guy.

I hear what you're saying, but this is one thing I'm not concerned about. Howard is a happy-go-lucky follower. In ORL he had to be the leader because reasons. In LAL his leader was Kobe, and in HOU his leader was Harden. If Howard comes here his leader will be Lillard and he can finally be the happy-go-lucky follower that he naturally is. Lillard will bring him into the fold and make him feel appreciated, rather than throwing him under the bus.

This is actually the one reason I WANT us to get Howard. I'm not stoked on him, but I really want to see what happens when a known "malcontent" is teamed-up with Lillard. I think that not only would we be a better team, but it'd be a good story - and we'd be thumbing our noses at LAL/HOU.

I actually think that - if Whiteside's issues persist - he'd be harder for Lillard to lead.

Whiteside is my #1, but Lillard would thrive off Howard picks.

I suppose Whiteside/Howard are equal in my book - and I think we have an equal shot at landing either. They both have their pluses and minuses. I'll be moderately happy if we get either of them, and only mildly disappointed if we don't...and that's just because expectations have set in.
 
Whiteside wouldn't dare challenge Lillard. I don't think you'll ever see anyone step to Dame. I'm not saying that cuz I'm a blazers fan. The guy is 2 real lol.

Pretty much my thoughts, except I'd probably be a bit more disappointed just because it would be a pretty massive failure to not get anyone.

Won't happen because the all-seeing Slypokerdog said he's not coming here. Sly has cultivated a number of reliable sources up in the nosebleed aisle of misfit media members. There's that one guy.... from about.com, and that chick from comcast... Jamie what's her name. His sauces are undeniable.
 
I think the Dallas meeting with Whiteside helps us with Dwight. Dallas IMO is hard to beat for FA's.
Boston and Atlanta is a little easier.

Whiteside supposedly wants stable and I don't see how that roster is stable. Dirk is older than dirt. Wes is still a huge questionmark in my opinion. They don't have Conley signed yet (if at all.) I just don't see how that roster is more appealing than ours.

Yes....details of that 'mention' would be helpful.

yea sorry I was trying to listen to everything he said as I typed that

he listed the teams we have all talked about here being options, and then added "but there's also Portland..."

I mean its probably nothing, but it was the way he sounded when talking about it that caught my attention
