At that price they really need to start Gordon instead of Beverley. Who cares if he's not a natural point guard. Harden is gonna handle it 90% anyway. Trade Patrick or bench him. You don't pay $53m for a backup.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Mahinmi to the Wizards. I wonder if Gortat gets dealt?

Does Morey plan to bring Gentile over next season? He's going need cap space to buyout his old contract and sign him to a new one.

My #1 and #2 target are Horford and Conley. After seeing their new contract, we can't afford them at all. Anderson and Gordon are not bad. They are good shooter and can create their own shot. This will definitely help Harden big time (if they can stay healthy). This is not Grade A off season, but at least this is way better than signing Harrison Barnes to max offer sheet.

I know this but they just gave him and those knees four years. Doubt they last that long

Gordon used to be a really decent defender? Haven't kept up with his defense and haven't looked at it since I never thought we would sign him

Is he bad at d now? I have just been worried about his health

I really like the ryan Anderson signing I think he is one of the most underrated players in the entire league yes overpay but the nba salaries right now are out of control ..

eric Gordon is a huge gamble mr injury prone has lots of talent but can not stay healthy

are we better than last year ? no about the same level 14 pick or first round exist most likely thank morey for that
fire morey please ,the sooner the better.....ryan Anderson is a 3 not a 4

Did Clint die? He was a just as good of a rebounder as Dwight last season. Also Ryan Anderson is a pretty good rebounder, good at positioning and staying in front of his man

Well who's left for us to sign at that number? That Italian dude? Any centers?

Wouldn't mind getting Tarik black back to back up motie and Capela if he can come for that price
