Bogut only has 1 year left anyway at a relatively reasonable price given the new cap. Plus he's a pretty darned good defender.


Let´s not help GSW clear their space. Plus Bogut doesn´t fit here, really

That would certainly be an interesting wrinkle on a one and one perhaps?

I'm not one of those who holds a grudge.

If Wade wanted to come to Boston, I'm fine with that.

Pick up our options on Jerebko and Amir. Try to win as much as possible while also getting the sophomores and Jaylen. Maintain space for next year's class.

False star. I think Durant to GSWs hurts league, hurts balance, and diminishes KDs star power.

Let's get Russell Westbrook.

98.5 just said Mickey is hurt and not with the team in Utah, haven't been able to find anything to confirm that though

Russell Westbrook to Boston confirmed.




They will now trade Westbrook because he will eave as well next year. They got nothing for KD. They need to get somethign for Westbrook.

I wonder if you guys go all out for Westbrook now. I think Presti would love to have those Brooklyn picks. And you know he does not want to lose Westbrook for nothing

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/golden_state_warriors/

So I was just checking out the salary stucture around Golden State. At best they can dominate as the big 4 for only up to 18/19. After this year is over, Curry is up for a new contract. That's 25 mil per. Then in 18/19 Thompson gets his 25 mil per. So eventually Draymond is the odd man out, cause in 19/20 he's gonna want his 25 mil per and GS wont have the money to field a team unless they're ok with going over the cap and taking the luxury tax hit.

Does Westbrook sign long term in Boston? He seems destined for LA, maybe Miami.

I'd hate to give up a BKL pick or two just to see him walk out the door and go to the Lakers.

I would never trade for Westbrook. he's gonna go strait to LA or Miami. And we'd lose our picks for a rental. Want no part of him. Guys that have it in their heads that they want to go to a warm weather city, you can't stop them or change their minds. I think we'll keep our picks and develop.

Way I see it we may as well keep the picks. Time to build for the distant future. Even Westbrook isn't gonna get us to contender status

*Sigh* Play out the season, lose in the first or second round, hope the nets suck again really bad, draft a stud in the draft.

See if Jaylen Brown can develop soon.

Make a major move like Cousin by midyear/trade deadline.

It will be dang near impossible to beat LeBron in the ECF. If they do the reward is to get destroyed by this Warrior team.
IMO the only smart recourse is to be patient and use those Net picks wisely. Might take 5-6 years to build this way but it will correspond with the Warriors window.

beat me to it by one post. No way. I dont want him here. OKC might as well call up LA and ask for Russel and Randle. The longer they wait, the worse it'll get for them. If they wait too long, the Lakers will only offer Russel and if they wait even longer, LA may as well just say, hey, we dont need to give you ****, cause he's coming over here on a red carpet next year. OKC needs to act real real fast. On Russel Westbrook.

Try to swing a trade for a 3rd star. This doesn't change anything. You keep building
