anyone like E'Twaun Moore?

I'm not sure I 100% believe in his shooting last season is sustainable (it was like 45%) but I still think he's a good shooter and an ok defender, so if he comes kinda cheap I think he could help

head coach is MDA
who cares about defense
i'm just looking for option that can play with Harden

MDA always had average defenses in Pheonix and to think he hasn't learned from what's lost him jobs is kinda hard to fathom. He said defense will be a priority and Morey wants a better defense so he cares about potential players defense.

well even if you dont believe him, wouldnt you want better defensive players to make up fr his bad defensive coaching? he can make Low level players play very well on offense, hes shown that everywhere hes been, look what he did for ish smith. But he wont make bad defenders good ones, so id rather aim for better defensive players than offensive ones and hope MDA could help them on that end

it takes more than one player to be great defensive team
the whole team has to commit to play team defense
surround Kawhi Leonard with two players that don't play defense the team will suck too

That's the point im making. They have to get more good defensive players.

my point is Harden has to commit to play team defense
he is the one on the floor 36-40 mpg

Well hopefully with a real system to help other guys he won't have to play that much

KD doesnt want to come here, so now we probably can get 2 very very good players for the money we would've paid KD.

I don't think that he will end up here, but it is the offseason, so now is when I flat out do not trust any report from Marc Stein. He's in full Cuban Mouthpiece mode for the free agency period.

[Fattz]

I want to thank KD for just communicating with us. Not a big deal, we will move on. DM time to show your worth.

[texasholdem]

At least we won't have a repeat of jerseygate with montrezl Harrell having the same number as Durant.

Just hope Kevin goes to an eastern conference team.

[Mr. E]

I think that KD is staying in OKC on that 1/1 deal where he can get the most money. He would likely opt out after next season for an even bigger payday. I do like that he's doing his buddy, Harden, a solid by telling him that right now he has no interest in the Houston trainwreck. Hopefully Morey listens and does not waste time on him and instead focuses on much more attainable guys who could very well make Houston look more attractive next off-season.

The only team I could see wooing him away would be the Spurs. I don't think that he'd go to the Warriors, but after SA they are easily the only likely option for him if he leaves OKC.

Yo timberwolves fan here, would you guys like a shabazz mohammed for patrick beverley trade?

Straight up? I wouldn't do it. You're talking about trading a starter for an undersized Forward who is a questionable defender and doesn't score well in transition.

He might be someone to consider if they upgrade at PG and move Brewer and/or Ariza, but even then I don't see a starting role for him here.

What about biyombo? I would love that

He can even start next to d-mo while d-mo still gets more center minutes

you do have a point about stein, but i don't see how the rockets are better than okc. if he leaves, it would be situation better or at least almost as good as what he had in okc.

I don't think that there is a chance that Durant considers Houston this year. I just wanted to point out that I put no faith in anything that Stein posts in regards to free agency, especially when it concerns Houston.

Yeah, I could see Biyumbo in HOU. Biyumbo wanted to work with Hakeem and he idolizes Mutumbo.

[texasholdem]

I dunno. Capela could be like biyombo for a lot less $$$. It's really too bad jbb benched him in the playoffs. He really could have used that experience.

He also looked REALLY good for the last month of the season. Makes no damn sense why he didn't play. Damn you JB.
