    Looks like Westbrook may be going to Miami. I said on here I wanted us to pursue him and we definitely need to swing for the fences on guys like him, but you guys are right about his contract. It’s outrageous the next couple of years. He along with Butler will eat so much of their cap

    I will agree that Westbrook is a real talent, but is is all self serving, he makes no one better around him and he is a cancer as a team mate. With KD and PG13 requesting to be traded away from him should be a clear indication that he is hard to work with.

    I think that stuff got overblown. KD left because he couldn't win a title in the West with just he and westbrook. PG signed long term to play there with him. Leonard and playing back home in LA is the only reason he ok'd the trade.

    We aren’t playing lottery. We’re a treadmill team. We won’t see lottery for another decade or so.

    We did the last 7 years and look what it got us... You win championships in the NBA through trades and free agency. It's the complete opposite of the NFL. Building like Golden State is like catching lightning 3 times in a row in the same bottle. It's so rare and even they brought in the biggest FA prize 3 years ago to win their last 2 titles.

    Who wants to play with an over the hill Westbrook who couldn't even put up decent numbers against Portland in the playoffs?

    Seriously. You guys don't understand how bad it's going to get with him. He's got maybe 1 year left as a good starter. It's going to go downhill fast.

    I guess we'll just have to disagree. Playing the lottery game year in and year out is a dangerous game that has bitten us over the last decade. At least we'd be willing to take a chance on a guy that's a top tier talent with hopes that another all star would be wanting to come join while the East is ripe for the picking. We would instantly become a contender

    We should do everything in our power to try and snag Westbrook regardless of what it costs. Take on gallinari’s contract for a year to help them unload, then clear a little bit more space for a max contract next summer. The East is wide open and we’ve been rebuilding for too long through the draft while other teams make moves to compete right away

    I know, right? Sometimes, I was like is it 6 against 5? Not happy to see us outplayed, but those guys were bringing it! I don't re-watch the games, but I would be curious to see how they did it. The emotion in me wants to say they got away with something that the refs won't call on every play, but the real answer is they are probably well coached. They take good angles and understand where we were trying to go with the ball. I believe this series will really help our guys grow and we will see some of our guys take another step next year. I realize we are not a finished product and hopefully we can add someone decent somehow. I am still excited about our team and the direction we are headed.

    I think there were some questionable calls in game 4 and 5 that went against us. Ibaka and Gasol got away with moving screens all series long, but they finally called a few last night. Too bad we were so awful that it didn't matter

    A lineup like Butler, Harris, Embiid, Redick and Simmons is not a lineup that Toronto will enjoy defending and is a lineup that will defend Toronto better than we did.  Should be a good series but Philly starters definitely > Toronto starters.  Toronto depth may be better.

    I agree but Toronto made us look like a scrub team other than game 1. Their D is beyond suffocating

    I'll do the math later but there's no realistic scenario we get two max spots. 

    There's an unlikely but possible way we get to 1. 2 is basically impossible without trading everyone that's not Gordon, Isaac, Bamba, Fultz while taking back no salary in return

    We may not have room for what other teams will pay for certain guys but I’d think we’d have a shot at luring somebody even if we bring back Vuc. Man I wish mozgov’s contract expired this year
