The Nets are shopping Thaddeus Young...Weren't the Spurs interested at once?

Monta should be converted into a 6th man, he was injured last season which was why he struggled.

I was projecting him has sixth man, but they still need a Calderonesque PG to run with him.

The bench isn't that bad.

Joe Young is a nice young bench PG
Monte ellis is a good 6th man off the bench to keep scoring up.
solomon hill is a good backup SF
Rakeem Christmas is a good young big
then bring back either Jordan Hill or Ian mahinmi as a bench big.

That's not to bad

Vasquez could do the trick especially since he has size.

Full reset by the Nets. Marks doing good work.

Would've liked Thaddeus Young on the Spurs, but good move by Indy

The NBA is so frustrating to follow, as a hardcore fan..

A team like Indiana can make all the correct moves in the off-season, yet they're still a middling team with a ceiling that won't be higher than the ECFs:lol

Nate McMillan is a HARDCORE defense first type coach, there is no way he's rolling w/ Thad Young at PF & is going to bench Teague/Monta for a couple of scrappy scrubs.:lol

:vomit::vomit:^^I forgot they hired Nate McMillan..ewww..

Yeah, by far the hardest league to build a legit contender in, which is why it's the most difficult league to win it all in. With the occasional exception, like the mid aughts Pistons or the Spurs of recent years (even then, they had an all time great, albeit a past his prime one), you have no chance without an in their prime, top five player and to get one of them, you need to get lucky.


Miles is obviously a better fit with the starters than Ellis, at this point, but he'd also be a poor fit next to Stuckey and is too big an ego to accept coming off of the bench. If they can move him and pick up a quality backup center, they should be squarely in the mix with the Raptors, Hawks and Heat, for the right to lose to the Cavs in the ECF.

Yep, gives you perspective on how impressive the 2014 Spurs were..not only for winning a championship, but also for doing it in a dominant fashion vs. difficult competition without a star player(deepest and most balanced team in NBA history)
