Defense... Wade can at least bring solid Defense Wade kinda with his offensive at least what i saw in the Playoffs

@Primetime if we can get melo and PG we might take the west breh i did not think we would ever have a chance to get this good... Bron might take a look at us and be like next season and take his talents to Houston

Wait what?

We can still trade for another star?

And be in competition for another one of Bron's superfriends?

holy shyt

every offseason it was the same dream and i was on some shyt no one coming but CP3 with harden looking real now its about Who can we get to make KD work for his points... PG might make him work then we need someone to make Green work and that is kinda i dont know if Melo can be tough enough to fight for the rebounds with green.. have wade come off the bench we can get at least a good 10-12 points out of him with solid Def...(if wade comes) we still missing a back up Point guard to run the O

@Primetime list of FA you think we should go for?

I respect that Morey is trying to really compete and not just giving up because nobody can compete with the warriors.

I miss my nikka pat bev but when you got the chance to get a sure fire hall of fame of with something left in the tank, it is what it is.


Still not sure how harden and cp3 is gonna work because we've seen point guards that need the ball in their hands not work with harden before (Lin & Lawson), but talent is talent and hope it works.

The thing about Lin and a Lawson is harden willingly deferred to them. They just didn't do their thing. He also deferred to Beaseley: Harden is unselfish


On a side note I'd rather kept Beverley over Gordon.....

Imagine getting Wade with the mid level $8mil exception in December after his buyout to run the second unit with Gordon?

Off top,

PG13 (dream scenario)
Gordon Hayward (dream scenario)
Milsap
Ibaka
JaMychal Green


Basically we need another star/very good player (PG13/Gordon/etc)

But we also need a big man that can play defense, rebound and isn't a complete liability on offense (Milsap/Ibaka/JGreen)

Outside of that, we need to luck up on some 3/D guys at the 1, 2 and 3. <--- easier said than done. I doubt Spurs are gonna let John Simmons go, same for the Bucks and Tony Snell (inconsistent as he is). Wade for free (essentially) would be great, assuming he wouldn't mind coming off the bench

We been trying to get Milsap for years and most of the time when we finally get all those players it ends up being and on the decline fast..

but i will Take Milsap he would not have to do to much... but Ibaka would be great and he is younger(but he will want more money). Hayward either going to go east or stay with the Jazz but we are getting into the era where Star players might start thinking about winning over the money.. and i agree PG13 or Hayward would be a dream i want to go younger with our 3 spot and have ariza as back up.

Dream line up for me would be

CP3/ need a Mills type back up
Harden/Gordan
Hayward or PG13/Ariza
Ibaka or Milsap/ Unknown fill in the blank
Capela/NenE

With that line up i think we could give GS a good series

Glad to see the Rockets and Morey swinging for the fences. Morey might not be finished either from what I hear.

Yup, although i'm not familiar with the cap in this new CBA era so i get the feeling that acquiring a 3rd star would come at the cost of being able to afford a guy like Milsap/Ibaka? So i feel if someone like PG13 is available, F it and figure out the rest later. Otherwise, it may have to be a more realistic look at one of those big men, bc we're going to have issues defensively.

We made a bold move but it'll be the next move or two that will say a lot about what we can really do
