He would be a great practice partner for LMA.
Supposedly he wants to sign w/ Orlando.

Rose/Gordon were high-school teammates.
Ooh... nice.He would be a great practice partner for LMA.
Midnight can't get here soon enough. It would be nice to hear the Spurs called someone other than digging in the international bargain bin.
Not expecting a splash of any kind but something than what we've heard thus far.
Exactly what I expected from the very beginning. Out of topic for me as a spur fan but I liked OKC this past season. Its an interesting team that has developed around him and Russ. The argument could be made that if Russ leaves next season, they could get someone else to play alongside KD anyways. Maybe even improve.
Getting ready for the Spurstalk meltdown thread to blow up .....
Agreed. As a strict fan of basketball, not spurfan, he should stay. Think of Nowitzki, just the one championship but I bet he would not change that for anything.
We are not inking any deals until after Durant decides. There really isn't anyone we want, and any upgrades will have to come from trading Diaw/Mills etc.
It's always more exciting than what the Spurs do.
I think most here all ready know not to expect anything though.
Where is Tspence with the goods?
Give us something Tspence?
Ia gasol coming? Only one man knows!
Maybe if they strike, Spurs move to the bargain bin hunt too.
Concern starting to grow in Dallas that Dirk might actually leave. Since he is simpatico with taking less money, would he consider joining (from Dallas perspective) the darkside in SA, where taking less than your worth is the norm?
no one is worried
Where did you see/hear this? Dirk leaving Dallas would be like Duncan leaving the Spurs - I couldn't imagine either scenario. Wade on the other hand, I find it hard to believe but not impossible to envision him in another uniform.
The only one of those I like is Ian Clark.
Bryce is a tiny gunner like Patty but without his hustle.
Early? Scrub.
McAdoo is similar to LJC in size, athleticism and lack of an offensive game. He would be redundant with LJC. Here's a nice writeup on McAdoo: http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/201...michael-mcadoo
A power forward by trade, McAdoo actually lined up as a center slightly more often this season, per basketball-reference (47% to 45%). The Warriors rarely deploy 'two-towers' lineups (those featuring any combination of Bogut, Anderson Varejao, Festus Ezeli orMarreese Speights), so when McAdoo manned the anchor position, he did it without seven-foot backup.One theory: he's being groomed to be Draymond Green's defensive backup. McAdoo is much taller than Green, but features plus-mobility for his size, a gigantic 7'2" wingspan, a strong vertical leap, and he's wide enough to hold his own at a muscular 230 pounds. Today, McAdoo is one of just two Warriors who even have the potential to defend power forwards and switch onto guards -- and that makes his continued defensive improvement vital.
Offensively, he hasn't shown much, yet. He takes around 90% of his field goal attempts within 3-feet for his career, and looks like a power forward whenever he's dribbling the ball. A three-point shot is far too much to ask, right now. The Warriors would likely settle for a more assertive rebounder (McAdoo was the worst forward or center rebounder on the team by defensive rebounding percentage -- and that group includes Andre Iguodala, Brandon Rush and Harrison Barnes).
But it's tough to get too critical (or too excited) about McAdoo's truncated season. He played just 262 minutes across 41 regular season games, and often found his way on to the court when the game was already decided.
I'm assuming this is where the 90% statement came from. Seems like KD told them if they get Horford its a wrap. OKC will be able to move Kanter pretty easily and expect it done around midnight. It'll boil down to Horford taking less or resigning 5yr Max in Atlana
When Bazemore came into the league with the Golden State Warriors, he was seen as a combo guard. After DeMarre Carroll's departure, the Hawks asked him to start at small forward. He thrived in that role, improved his jump shot and battled bigger players. No longer just a raw athlete, Bazemore is one of the best role players around and he still has upside as a playmaker. He'll be one of the most sought-after free agents on the market. (More on Bazemore.)
Once seen as a bust because he was selected second overall in the 2005 draft, Williams found his niche after leaving Atlanta and becoming a stretch 4. In Charlotte, he had a career season at the best possible time, shooting 40 percent from deep while rebounding and blocking shots better than ever before. Williams is not regarded as an elite athlete, but he's capable of switching onto quick guards andthrowing down a huge dunk every once in a while. His playmaking skills aren't on the level of Draymond Green, but he plays a similar role and almost never turns the ball over.

HOPE WE CAN GET THIS GUY!
From an offensive standpoint this would be good for them, but wouldn't they be giving up a good defense and rebounds with Kanter? Isn't Horford a bad defender and not really that great of a rebounder?
That's why they were so solid down low with the Adams/Kanter combo
