I really don't want #1. I would much rather have 2 or 3 and have other teams determine our fate.

JaM is a free agent and is not currently taking up a roster spot. He likely re-signs because Wright will be gone and we'd have no starter. These are the guys currently signed who are most likely to be traded... Wright (almost certainly) Ennis Martin Baldwin Daniels

That's absurd. No they didn't.

Zach could easily give us 5 more good years. He's clearly staying in great shape, and is not going to fetch a ton of money this offseason.

CBA '16-'17 stats Jamaal Franklin 34.7 ppg 10.2 rpg 8.6 apg 3.5 spg Hamed Haddadi 26.0 ppg 16.0 rpg 4.4 apg 2.0 bpg Franklin is 1st in assists, 1st in steals, and 4th in points. Haddadi is 2nd in rebounds, and 4th in blocks. Although I loved Haddadi, I realize that the CBA is a different tier, and I'm not advocating for either to be brought back. I just wanted to congratulate former Grizzlies for finding success overseas!

This is actually far, far better than that in the long-run.

Weak troll post. I miss the mods.

L.A. is too close to L.A. Doesn't stop them from having a team.

Since CP3 will miss the ASG, my guess will be Westbrook Thompson Lillard Hayward My guess for the West front-count is: Cousins Gasol Anthony-Towns I think there will only be 3 reserve bigs due to the depth at the guard position, and a worthy guy (or two) will be left out. It'll be a battle among Cousins, Gasol, Gobert, Anthony-Towns, Aldridge, and DeAndre. (CP3 will almost surely be out still)

i really wish we still had mods. This board has gone to ****. (My use of profanity was merely an attempt to possibly alert any mods that might still be around of this terrible thread)

His per-36 numbers for this year: 21.1ppg, 12.5rpg. This is his best overall year (per-36 mins) since 2008. It's his 2nd best rebounding year ever, and his 4th best scoring year ever. I know the argument will come up that he's playing solely against backup bigs, but if you watch the games that isn't entirely honest. Beyond coming off the bench in the 1st quarter, his minutes do not follow the normal trend of a bench player and he's often being double-teamed and/or defended by the opponents' best PF or C, as well as being on the court during the final minutes in close games. To suggest that he's quickly winding down because of his age is pretty ridiculous. Even if he's in the later part of his prime, he's still in it. He will definitely hold the title of the NBA's oldest player a few seasons down the road and might keep it for several additional seasons.

He looks that best that he's looked like like 3-4 years. The big thing against him now is his age (specifically the number) and the fact that he's not starting. I know that the main reason he was benched was to lower his value this upcoming summer. He said a few days ago that he feels like he's still in his prime and I totally believe it. His per-36 numbers are the best they've been since 2008, and this is his 2nd best rebounding year ever (4th best scoring year).

Why does everyone keep assuming the Rade is coming over? Who in the organization has said anything that suggested he will be ready?

We get out own pick if we land 31-35, and we get Miami's if they land 31-40. The second scenario is obviously more likely. We have NO sure picks in this upcoming draft, though. Zero.

I like Zbo off the bench, as long as he is the one that finishes out the game w/ Gasol.
