No, I just read earlier on realgm that he made a remark about Whiteside and that quote looked like it. :)

twas a joke :D gotcha!
haha nice one... i should counter with something like "shouldn't they break his legs first" but then i don't follow college enough to know who's got a season ending injury.

Cap could go up to $92Mil in 2016. The players union rejected the "smooth out" process and it's just going to be a historic jump: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12461 ... se-nba-set

It's going to f**k competitive balance in the arse.

It also means teams with salary cap space should feel free to spend this offseason.

... Including us? I hadn't seriously considered it, but there are plenty of PFs available. Perhaps we should nab one.

I want to see if guys like DJ and Gasol and even Love take a one year deal or don't opt out of the final year to become FAs in 2016 so they can pretty much pick whatever team they want.

I'd give Love a max deal with a player option after a year :D

There's also LaMarcus, Millsap, Greg Monroe, and Big Al, all options at the 4.

One team I hadn't considered who might be interested in the MoBros - Jersey. A three-way, where Brook is relocated? I'm stumped with where to send those two - and I doubt we'll do it.

Can't do player options on one year deals. Minimum is 2 years and a PO.

Okay, well if he just wants the one year max, it's his!

Just took a nice long look at the free agent list... it is DEEP. Could see a lot of movement this offseason. I guess this is what the new CBA, with shorter deals, hath wrought.

i really am not that interested in love personally. i think at best he's a second option on a championship... if we had a lebron in place, i would consider love, but not in the current state of the team.

Huh? A 2-year contract can have the second year be a player option.

That's very sad. Without love, life is meaningless.

Wow, I can't believe nobody mentioned the unbelievably great Cavs/Spurs game and the magical 57 point night of Kyrie Erving. It was something to behold.
