I think it's safe to say that Coach Brooks should be COY.
I like the fact they have a defensive dude on the perimeter that knows his role and shuts his mouth (Thabo Sefolosha)
I like the fact that Jeff Green does a little bit of everything. He's not the prototype PF but he seems to be doing just fine.
With the young talent they have and the cap flexibility they have now they're gonna have to get creative and pursue a guy like Chris Bosh to put them into the "elite"...
Cause if they wait they'll have to extend Durant, Green and the rest and all that flexibility will be gone and they could be left with a "Dallas" type team:
Fun to watch but not really built to win it all
They could easily make a run at Amare or Bosh this summer. The problem would be if the cap does go down to 51 mil. Then they'd have less than 10 mil after draft picks and min salaries. I would certainly offer them the deal I mentioned (Kwame/Atkins/Summers for Collison/Ollie/1st) to get them another 5+ mil in space. That could make a huge difference if the cap does go down.
They are 2 games out from the 3rd best record in the West and 3.5 from the 2nd best. No reason they can't convince a FA they are contenders with him.
I remember really wanting Joe to trade up with the Stuckey and Afflalo picks to take Green. I don't know if that would have been a good move or not, but I liked his game a lot.Quote:

Why don't you go read up on the Yankees farm system.
Or the Cowboys free agent possibilities.
Or the minor league prospects of the Red Wings... wait.
Cause the Thunder are the Yankees/Cowboys of the NBA, lol.
Gla has Joe Dumars in his signature.
Z - I don't think Ridnour is crap - he's simply found himself in situations where some other PG was "the guy". He seems to be a trusted back-up and he's been pretty good all season for the Bucks.
Chris - Obviously we should do that trade idea - but it seems someone has disconnected Joe's phone.
