I view this as good news. No way McRoberts would start in Portland with LaMarcus Aldridge in the forefront right before his contract extension, disinterested in playing the C position. There's only so much money the Blazers would be willing to expend to McRoberts to be their backup

We're waiting for Lance Stephenson to get out of his movie date. The Pacers made him put his phone on mute through the viewing

Portland is also interested in Monroe. Will be interesting to see what they do.

Re: 2014 Free Agency Thread
It's obvious Higgins was the big talker and Bonnell was his pipeline. Bonnell has no scoop. He is obviously shut out. All they told him so far is they didn't contact Deng, probably in response to Bonnell asking them if they did.

Bonnell was more or less hoping that they did so he could make his article earlier look like some "scoop".
Fail.

He was like, c'mon guys, just a little hint? Anything. I can't just make up stuff (even though I already did). C'mon guys pleeeeease.

They're clearly not interested in any defensive improvement. Good luck to them. I doubt that they could replicate last season's success with a worst 5 defense again

Re: 2014 Free Agency Thread
Heat may very well get Deng had a decent price to go with Lebron Wade and Bosh.
Thats a pretty damn good squad.

Word will come out about something either tomorrow or Wednesday. I remember when word leaked about us liking Jefferson last year and 85% of the board started having aneurysms.

I think the only way this board would really hit the fan is if we did something like Walker and a future first for Rondo or something.
Then it would hit the fan on here.
