Very pleased with the DDV signing if his injury is behind him.

Anybody who can handle, knock down an open three, and deliver aggressive perimeter D for under $10 mil is a good deal.

What hurts most about Gary is we found this nugget of gold in the debris and barely got a chance to benefit from our patience and cleverness

I mean, #firstworldproblems and all, given that we won the title, but I would have loved a full season and playoffs worth of Gary.

No movement today?

Can Curry adjust his contract to accommodate GP2? He has enough money he can spare a couple million no?

Didn’t realize Tyreke Evans had worked out for us, and forgot that Myers used to be his agent…

Seems like a pretty ideal target for one of the last roster spots, if he’s basically okay physically and spiritually…

I think I figured it out. They didn't want GP2 blocking Wiseman's development at the center spot (*cries*)

So if we miss on Ibaka, do you think Dub Nation would stomach a Blake signing?

I admit I was losing track today. Here’s my count:

We keep our 6 “starters” (Steph, Klay, Dray, Wiggs, Looney, Poole)

We keep our 3 “Sophomores” (Moody, Kuminga, Wiseman)

We signed DDV

I assume we will sign two rookies (PBJ and Rollins, who I’m very excited about)

That makes 12.

5 vets all gone: OPJ, GP2, Bjelica, DLee, JTA.

The only other players left from last year are Andre, and our two two ways (and we already gave out one two way). So we have three (or two) roster spots left to fill, plus one two way - and Andre, Weathespoon, and Gui as possibilities (I really hope we don’t see cheese again). I guess we still have Jessups rights too. I hope the FO is busy cuz we need someone to get some rebounds.

DLee to the Suns?

Looks like Summer League gonna be a fight for that end of the bench wing role.

So, the Dubs need a stretch big, and possibly a wing. So who's still left from Perks' list?

Tier 2: wings: T.J. Warren, Josh Okogie (too small?)

Tier 3:

bigs: Serge Ibaka,

wings: Jeremy Lamb,

guards: Dennis Schröder, Goran Dragic, Austin Rivers, Kemba Walker

So realistically, we're down to Ibaka for the stretch big, and Warren, Lamb, or Okogie for the wing.

For some reason, whenever I think about Gallinari, I think about the Lakers vs. Nuggets game more than 10 years ago where he missed a fastbreak layup that could've tied the game.

Hey everyone, remember how I kept saying that it looked like they would bring Lee back? Ignore that.

btw and totally unrelated,I'm having a 50% off sale on my teal-leaf reading classes this week.
