I cant wait to see who we get in Free Agency to go with Russell, Randle, Clarky, and Ingram! It's going to be an anxious next couple of days!

Just don't get your hopes up too high. The biggest coupe/shocker would be if we could talk Conley and Whiteside into signing with us. I doubt that will happen, but that would be my top 2 priorities. Maybe we can dump Lou Williams and snag Batum, too. Hahahahahaha!

I will take this and run with it! If we get those players I will kneel before Mitch! LOL! Conley would bring awesome leadership and give us major depth at the PG position, Whiteside is similar to Bynum, and Batum is a Good solid wing player that can do it all at times. Between Ingram and Batum and Whiteside that would be nice length to have on the court!

It's as simple as we aren't that attractive right now for free agents. Period. That's why we can't even get a meeting with Durant. He's in his prime and wants to win now. If he leaves he's going to Golden State.

Our ideal hope would to go after and get Whiteside. Or that kid from GS that I can't spell his name. Which is more plausible since Walton used to be his assistant coach SamBarnes.But they're Restricted FA. GS could match our offer. Forget Horford he's not coming. Throw everything at Whiteside then force Miami's hand. Batum or Bazemore would be nice too.

I just hope that we aren't too desperate and start trading away our core of young guys just to be better but never great now. Just to make Jim look better to his siblings & fans.

It's exciting to see our young guys taking it to the next level by working so hard on their game during the off season.

Dallas has already secured the first meeting with Whiteside somehow. I don't recall when meetings were leaked before July 1st, but I could be wrong. Anyway, that sucks because it has also leaked that Whiteside wants a quick deal tomorrow. I just hope he doesn't agree to Cuban's max deal on the spot and at least gives us a shot. I honestly think we have more to offer him in the long term at this point than they do.

I don't think there's going to be anything crazy. It's no secret that we're rebuilding and that we have 3 very high draft picks who have promise as well as Clarkson, Nance and maybe some of the other youngsters. It will be a disappointing free agency period once again, but a fun season nevertheless (depending on your definition of "fun"").

Have you heard anything with the way Horford is leaning, I haven't check Twitter this morning or been on ESPN.

Tim Duncan picked up his 5 million dollar option, looks like he's coming back. Wouldn't it be funny if Pau went there? Talk about a tall frontline with Alderidge, Pau, and Duncan. David West is likely retiring, so them going after Pau wouldn't shock me.

The latest rumor is OKC. Durant and Horford are good friends and want to play together (what the fuck else is new? sickening), so the Ibaka deal starts to make more sense now.

Who knows, but forget the Lakers. Too many teams have a fuckload of money.

*We should continue this discussion on the FA thread.

Man if he goes to OKC and Durant stays that team will be really tough to beat. It could Durant's year finally!
