_MJ_ Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Mavs/Cuban can't seem to get their top choices to sign there. Another offseason of plan b & c free agents. The Celtics are such a non-destination free agency spot nowadays that Al Horford might be their biggest free agent signing since _____________.

Lawful Metal Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Add Eric Gordon to the Rockets for stupid money. But it's all stupid money. So we add Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon. Can't wait for the Mike Antoni era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never get the "big fish", but we always manage to have a playoff team. I just can't help but wonder what would have been, if all of the guys that were taken on as reclamation projects, and improved under Carlisle had stuck around. Not to mention the drafted guys like Crowder. Tyson, B-Wright, Crowder, Aminu are all guys(besides Crowder, but he would have gotten there) that flourished in Dallas, and there was no attempt to keep them. So frustrating as a fan. Now there is a max offer for Barnes, who is a major downgrade from Parsons in every way besides defense. Give CP the money he wanted, and you likely have Conley on the team. Fuck me.

Welcome to Philly in the Iverson/Iguodala periods. You are good enough to make the playoffs and maybe win a round but the ownership is afraid of tearing it down for a rebuild so you hold out for one more year trying your best to attract an A list free agent but you never do. Every move is spinning your wheels never gaining and never losing ground. Then the wheels fall off and it is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I like Horford, I get why Boston did it. But man, if they don't land a superstar this year or next (namely KD) the growth curve on that team is going to be way off. Al will be breaking down before the core of ready to compete. But if he can get them past round one, and Boston can make a good impression on KD this week, and Durant does reenter free agency next year, it's a piece to sell him on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every move is spinning your wheels never gaining and never losing ground. Then the wheels fall off and it is a mess. Dallas is even more committed to it, because it worked once. Plus they can't do a full rebuild until Dirk is gone, and I can't imagine them wanting to see him finish his career elsewhere. I also have a hard time imagining Carlisle wanting to take on a rebuild at this point in his career (deep respect to the rebuild he did here in 01-03) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Dirk Nowitzki should have subscribed to the Kobe Bean Bryant "make as much money as you can while you can, it's not my job to help ownership build a contender" line of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 He took the discount and it didn't work. All we got was 14ppg and 127(out of 164) games in 2 years from it. If they are unable to put a team together for him, then use the rest of the cap on him this year. He'll never ASK for it, but it's the right thing to do if you're Mark Cuban, due to his failure to let his basketball people do their job. I mean, y'all know that Donnie Nelson wanted Giannis, but Cuban wanted to trade the pick. We got Shane Larkin and fuck else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I don't buy Boston as a serious contender for Durant and KD would be TERRIBLE in that town, the media would eat him alive. I'd love to have him but he's not a Boston guy. I'd be on cloud 9 if they convinced him I just don't see it. I think Ainge still needs to work a trade or two.

Ryan Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Dirk should come to Milwaukee to be a backup, where he belonged in the first place. We'll find the gravesite of Tractor Traylor and I guess put a memorial there to undo the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they look at it like Blazers fans think of Bowie over Jordan or Oden over KD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
