Not sure if anyone posted this. I don't remember seeing it. It was a tweet by sports whispers. I'd think he might be a target than.
If thats the case one thing is for certain, Stan is NOT targeting any of the "big name" free agent Point guards obviously so anyone holding out for Lin, and whomever better snuff that dream out right now.

Either that or Stan got wind that there is no chance he is landing Horford and decided to go grab a "big name" free agent PG so anyone holding out for Horford or whomever better snuff that dream right now.

Basically saying what "anyone" is saying and that we literally don't know wtf is going to happen. Still can't believe the Mozgov contract. Makes Jackson/Harris contract look like steals for 3-4 more years? Wow. Morris at 5 million? This is ridiculous man

Seriously if there's any way to pry Rubio away from Minnesota now is the time to do it. The 14 he's going to average over the next three is going to look amazing compared to the 10-15 that players like Dellavedova and Lin are expected to command.

The gross part is that the rest of our contracts are so reasonable, I don't even know who to involve in a trade anymore.

Holy crap. Can you imagine what.Mike James and lindsey hunter would command after being keywords bench pieces in 04? 20 million a piece?

These contracts are just insanity.

The Mozgov one just makes the Lakers look like dumb ass's.

Agree. Jack can definitely play if he's healthy. Was terrific a few seasons ago with GS (finished 3rd in 6th MOY voting), and was very good with Cleveland after that. I was hoping we'd take him.

In defense of the Mozgov deal, Mozgov was hurt to start the season and then didn't fit in to Lue's new system after Blatt was fired. Basically, the season was a wash for him. If you put a line through this season and look at Mozgov last year, however, and his years prior to that with Denver, he's a solid player. Not a bad signing.
