A Mike Miller-type player is the only thing missing from OKC to get them over the championship hump.

That's pretty huge IMO.



I actually think Pau Gasol is a better fit for that. Y'all still desperately need someone who can score with his back to the basket imo.

He's gone I'd imagine. Didn't help this team at all in the post season.

Melo is gonna stay in NY.
LaLa will throw a fit and he can get the most money from the Knicks.

hopefully he's the Heat 2014 Free Agency splash.
if that's the case, you'd better watch your mouth, the MSB will be telling you how great Caron Butler is, how he was underutilized in the Thunder's offense, and how he'll fit right in playing in Spoelstra's schemes.

Huh? Inserting him into the starting lineup in Game 6 & 7 of the Memphis series was huge.

We'll see what happens but this is wild. Stein was the one who said there was almost no chance the Thunder signed him so this is very interesting to see him change his tune.

Free agency is crazy like that I suppose.

Why on earth did the Magic sign Ben Gordon? Not the best influence for a young team and he's garbage as a player too.

Holy shite, Gasol on the thunder is a terrifying thought

GOATbrook
Durant
Ibaka
Pau
Who the frick ever at the 2, I'm sure Reggie would work great in a small ball type line up

They'd probably start Roberson for defense.

Reggie, Lamb, Adams, PJIII, Collison off the bench.

That's a helluva team all of a sudden.

Defense would be an issue but having the following on the court at the same time:

Westbrook
Reggie
KD
Ibaka
Pau

Would be NASTY

Call me crazy, and I'm a huge fan of Russ, but that team would be scarier with rondo. I'm actually a bigger fan of Russ than KD come playoff time but god forbid I even go down that road. Oh hell I'll do it anyways. 3 team trade with Houston, Jeff green and Durant to rockets, harden to Boston, rondo and parsons to okc. Rondo, Westbrook, parsons, ibaka, gasol. Put down the controller etc etc I'm just having fun for the hell of it cause FA is boring.

Same reason they traded Afflalo away for basically nothing. TANK

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh do not appear to be acting in unison with free agency now underway.

James, Wade and Bosh met last Wednesday, but they walked away from the meeting only knowing that James wanted a max contract. Wade and Bosh expressed a commitment to remain with the Miami Heat, but James was unsure.

James did not ask or suggest that Wade and Bosh opt out of their deals or take lesser salaries to allow the Heat to add other top players, according to the sources.

Bosh and Wade are intent on returning to Miami, but neither of them knows what James will do.

"It's not a done deal," said one source, when asked about James' return to Miami. "That's for sure."

Not trying to be a dick but this gets really old.

Rondo played with 3 hall of famers. Let's see him play with more normal pieces before we put him on an elite level.

Westbrook is a much, much better ball distributor than he gets credit for.
