the more i think about it the less i think it's a good idea to "wait" for durant. you're talking about a tremendous amount of resources for the chance to sign him. i think we have a decent shot... but it's literally just a shot, and unless there was some kind of heat-tampering-deal in place for us to shed salaries to have him come in i just don't know if it's a good idea.
swap out ross+DD and insert jimmy butler+arron affalo and you're looking at a huge upgrade, not only offensively but especially defensively.@sweatpantsjer

UFA can go where ever they want. We have legit shots at signing UFA guys. RFA's not so much.
Its still a BIG year for FA.
In 2016 top tier game changer type UFA's include Horford / Durant / Noah .. Lebron's eligible but its pretty low odds he walks on Cleveland a second time.
Lots of second tier guys available that can push you up the ladder as well... Ryan Anderson/ Luol Deng / Thad Young / Aaron Afalo / Wilson Chandler / Dragic (he can opt out this year as well)/ Nick Batum
and we have to make decisions on our own RFA's JV + TRoss and our UFA's Demar (he can opt last year of his deal)/ Vasquez
Never ends ..There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

The game is pretty one sided when trying to pry out an RFA from any team. They have bird rights and its just bad business to let an asset go for nothing.

If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

They aren't letting go of Carroll at the very least if they can't re-sign Millsap. And I very much doubt anyone in ATL wants to leave at this point.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

The argument of Ross being a better factor by playing his natural position is pretty much negated as we already saw him play the 2 this season and his production didn't change at all.
Harris might not make us better next year, but in later years, he might, and not paying DD 20M+ might too.
Ross does play better at the 2 than he does at the three. But he also plays much better off the ball. He's not often been given the opportunity to do both.
