They are also reportedly interested in signing Kendrick Perkins.
Their second unit will be fucking hilarious.

Christ. Golden State might as well just raid a graveyard. They'd get equal value to Ray Allen.

I like how in this that Jim Gaffigan is left unchanged, like Jim Gaffigan is hanging out with LeBron and Jordan.

Ray Allen could play until he's 64.... If Mullin and Sprewell look to sign on -- then I take notice...

Yeah, Ray Allen sucks. But he'd probably play a James Jones or '14-15 Mike Miller for them anyway. I don't think he's the worst end-of-your-bench option.

It pains me to say this, but their offseason has been an absolute home run so far. The Durant acquisition speaks for itself... David West is about as good as you can do with the league minimum, and Zaza is a steal at that price; I would've loved either of those players on the Cavs on those deals.

any offseason you add a top 3 NBA player I think has to be counted as a home-run for you, no?

I love people trying to talk themselves into the idea this won't work because they lost "rim protector" Andrew Bogut. Warriors are going to be lethal, we just have to take care of our business out east and find the chink in Smog's armor.

The chink is they have no rim protection at all

Ray Allen takes crazy good care of his body, I wouldn't put him past being in better shape than 80% of the league, even at his current age.

Also, I cannot wait to see this team fail. Poetic justice if Westbrook goes super nova on their asses and even if say the Thunder always lose to the Warriors, Russ just embarrasses them.

I want to see MDJ hit a 3 from the corner in a game 7 of the finals IN Cleveland to break the tie and rip the hearts out of GS. I want to then have him undercut Green with 5 seconds left and the game is no longer in question.

ha, good point.. though I think they will be able to shore up the stiff center position somewhat easily, net gain on Durant to Barnes v Bogut to Some tall guy is still astronomical.

tbh, I am a bit relieved as I thought some interesting FA would join them after the Zaza & West signing. Thought they could keep Barbosa, Rush, Speights but it seems they won't and them not getting the C from Orlando is great. They still hv a scary team but they will hv to be careful with the minutes during the RS. Its not over of course but it seems the amount of money availalbe won't let them pick up some good vet signings (same for the Cavs though). Hopefully, they can't touch Stephenson n others with potential!

btw, Zaza is a good signing at this price but, if healthy, Nene could hv been scarier there!

Game 7?
Dude I would love nothing better than to sweep their asses in the finals. Maybe go to 5.
This will probably not happen, but while we're daydreaming, better daydream big

This is the ONLY reasonable destination that makes sense from a winning standpoint. Only thing stopping him would be how much he cares about the public's perception of him

Apparently not much.

Now that the shock of the news has died down a bit and reasonable opinions are starting to resurface, I just wanted to stop by and say...











Kevin Durant is a pussy.

I moved and had only heard through a friend... Durant pulling a Bron is funny because like makes so much sense for the NBA.

Dear snarly please find a sponsor for your drinking or take an English class before the season.
