Did any of you watch Bayless last year? He has improved from when we had him as most young players do.
 
i have no doubt he improved but I hated his attitude when here and I seriously doubt he has changed his playing style, just found a team that allowed him to play to his strengths a little more.

Completely agreed.

I think we still need a backup PG and I think there is a player still on the market who can be both PG and spark in the mold of JJ Barea:

DJ Augustin

PG: Lillard | Augustin
SG: Matthews | Barton/Williams
SF: Batum | Claver
PF: Aldridge | Freeland
C: Hibbert | Leonard

Nicely balanced IMO. Though, I still hope they get an upgrade at SG sooner rather than later. Or think outside the box and play Batum there.

No doubt that at this point if Lillard got hurt, it would go from bad to worse in a hurry. But I am sure they know this and have a plan. At least it seems like they have had a plan as of late.

Or bad to better lottery pick
 
DJ Augustin is an interesting option.. How much will he command as a free agent?

I think we end up using our cap room on Freeland and Claver while we wait to see if we keep Hibbert. If we don't get Hibbert we probably look to claim Brand or Kaman with Hibberts money. The Plan B starting center along with Batum's larger salary slot will use up our cap space. Then we would probably have the $2.5mil room exemption to go after the best backup PG still available.

I'm told New Orleans Hornets will acquire Ryan Anderson via sign-and-trade deal with Orlando. Deal is on verge of completion today

If we can get him on a cheap, short deal, I'd be happy.

I think a short cheap deal would not be signed by him. And if it was it would be matched. So at what number will he be attractive to us and not the Suns? FRA are a pain in the ass because you have to over pay to keep their team from matching.
 
I like Robin Lopez.

When he got >20 min. his first few years he was solid, like a young Przybilla. He fell off the radar lately because of inconsistent playing time, unable to find a groove in PHX.

What the hell is good about that?

The plan now is to get a stop-gap at center. Kaman makes the most sense but he wants too big of a deal, and four years.

But I agree, this off-season is turning out to be underwhelming with our FA moves/plans.

Somehow when I hear "like a young Przybilla" it brings to mind the cover of a romance novel, with a bare-chested Joel holding a buxom woman wearing tattered clothing.

But maybe that's just me.

It was more tongue in cheek

Suns C Robin Lopez has been contacted by #Blazers during this moratorium, Lopez tells CSNNW. So far, that's the extent. Lopez, 7-1 is a RFA.
 
Robin Lopez is 7-1? I thought he was about 6-10.
 
I hope they can get Lopez on a one year deal. Maybe a 3 year offersheet but with last two years unguaranteed. Heck even overpay him $4million per or something just don't hurt our flexibility next offseason.

The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a deal with free agent G Lou Williams, a source told http://espn.com. Story posted soon.

Sixers acquire Wright from Warriors for draft pick http://bit.ly/PO4U0L #SixersTalk

Most likely a 2nd, since they gave a future first to Miami.
I would have jumpe don that with our space, if we were going to not match Batum.
