It doesn't matter if it's mid season or mid off season, going up against SA makes my asshole pucker
 
I feel like it's SA or Portland

SA being the favorite to sign him

Guys are you not piecing stuff together, too busy wallowing in misery? Wojo says it's between Blazers and Spurs. Spurs feel they have to send a a full squad of people to woo him. Spurs will have to renounce several of their key players to make it work... Now even Chris Broussard, who has been the biggest Lamarcus is leaving whistle blower, is saying don't count the Blazers out. Also the Blazers are hanging on to Kaman which would be stupid if they are entering rebuild mode.

Quit moping and actually pay attention to what is happening.

Still in the denial stage, huh?

Incorrect

Contract Notes:
  • Claimed via amnesty waivers
  • 2015 non-guaranteed, fully guaranteed if not waived on or before 08/01/15

somebody besides splitter has to be in play or a third team, mozgov and andy v. are under contract with cavs for next year not to mention neading to sign Tristan thompson
 
would also mean extended minutes at center for Aldridge in san Antonio, who has been allergic to that prospect in the past

Splitter isn't a "WOW" move. Sorry

It won't be Splitter...my money is on Diaw/Mills or Diaw/Reggie Williams.

CLE has wayyyy to many centers as it is and SA will need Splitter to split time with Duncan at C next season.

So then SAS will be thin at PG and SF? Weird
 
Diaw/Mills isn't going to WOW LeBron either. I like both players but they are actually slightly overpaid and merely 8th and 9th guys off of CLE's bench.

How do you guys honestly think they will get a "WOW" offer for Haywood? He's not even a playable big man....his contract is the only valuable thing about him and it is only valuable to teams like HOU and SA who need his cap space to make moves. Those teams aren't giving up more than that and MAYBE a protected first.

And we're talking about Patty Mills, Boris Diaw, and Reggie Williams...NONE of those are game changers, and who cares if you lose Diaw if you are signing LA. SA will easily find two more guys to replace what those two brought.

The Wow move would save that money to actually land a player that you can get "WOW" by

And you can just "release" him and free up space.
 
last report GS, OKC, Charlotte, HOUS., Wash., and Chicago were all looking to shed assets to a.)dercrease payroll to get under tax threshold, b.) decrease payroll to avoid tax threshold after signing their own assets to new contracts, or c.) get under cap to be free agent players. I am sure that some of the assets in play are far more attractive than diaw and his onerous contract.

They could easily trade Haywood and a player for Hibbert and its better than Splitter or the Diaw + Mills
 
@JabariJYoung: After that convo, don't think #Lakers have a legit shot to land Aldridge. Feeling is he'll listen, but that's it. Still #Spurs or #Blazers
