Heat fans are some of the worst....that place is always empty..their broadcast crew in my least favorite...especially the radio guy...don't remember his name

Not to mention their PA announcer...

They're spoiled fans. Lebron and Wade.. every player wants to play there and their arena is right on the water..

I really think this might be the year that Cleveland does it. They're healthy, they have a ton of firepower, and LeBron almost beat the Warriors by himself last year.

I think they can. Their spacing and defense is very good and they just find ways to win.

I think they can beat the Warriors, the Spurs would be a tougher sell but Irving would slaughter whoever they throw at him (because Kawhi will definitely be on LeBron).
 
So since Horford only got 4 rebounds in 39 minutes today, is he off the wish list?
Millsap shot 43% in the last 10 games, not sure he is what we need unless we get him really cheap

I'd gladly take either still. They're both very high level frontcourt players that would cure a lot of our problems up front.

This x 1,000,000

I wanted the Blazers to draft Millsap with our 30th or 31st pick back in 2006. Can't believe we passed on him 4 times and none of the 4 guys we drafted instead are still in the league.

Neil, time to undo another KP fuck up.

Actually, if KP hadn't fucked up we could have had both Durant and Millsap. Damn! Damn x 1,000,000!!!!

Millsap is about to make 21 million per the next two years (The last one a player option) I would take his salary off their hands, but I would not give up too much in the trade.

Horford is solid for sure although not spectacular. I would go after him first. Not sure he is a go-to guy, but he pretty good at everything. Just not great at anything....anymore

I think a fair trade given the situation Atlanta will be in this summer would be Vonleh+Cavs pick for Millsap, but they probably wouldn't accept.
 
Is Horford that much better than Plumlee going forward? Or would we start both?

It's one game. He's still a 10rpg player.

I'd throw in Aminu. They'd value a 3 and D guy like that. Plus it'd open up some cap space

not me...Aminu is on one of the rare, cheap contracts the league will ever see again and he's young...that's not how to free up cap space...no way I keep Crabbe and trade Aminu...Meyers Leonard would be more attractive to them than any of our bigs....they lack a 7 ft big in Atlanta

He's never shot under 46% over the course of a season. He had a DBPM of over 4 last year. The dude is a great defender and can also space the floor as a 3pt shooter. The dude would take us to Clipper, maybe OKC level. If we could get him and keep $30M in cap space, we would be one of the favorites for Durant, Horford, and any other free agents.

I wouldn't throw in Aminu to get rid of him, I'd do it because that's what it'd take to get Millsap. But throwing him in would keep us with max cap space. A guy like Millsap would double our chances at Durant, Horford, etc.
