Air Gordon

JJ's an unrestricted free agent

Nah. There's a good chance the Bulls buy out Wade, he clears waivers and he goes to Cleveland.

I don't even think they want Griffin back to a long extension. Suck this year, get a high pick, even if they don't deal Jordan he expires at the end of next season and they'd have 70 + million in cap space to play with with some great free agents available. I'm thinking their plan is to bottom out this year and fast track a rebuild for next year.

No way Griffin goes back to LAC now... Deandre Jordan probably on the market for cheap and the Clippers back to the bottom of the league.. Harden/Paul backcourt will be interesting

Doesn't Anderson make like 20 mill a year? Don't think anybody will take that on.

Agree. The defensive potential of a Biz/Gordon/Isaac front court is awesome...add Ross at the 2 and a scrappy vet PG like Beverley at the 1 and that'd be a hell of a lineup to try to score on.

I think we'll start Ross with Isaac getting backup SF minutes for the first 20 or so games and then ease him in to the starting line-up next to Gordon.

He's got a ton of upside, sure, but he's also one of the most ready to contribute players in the draft. If we went Smith or Monk, they may be better down the road, but they'd have a ton of growing pains while they got minutes and usage and we'd lose a bunch of games.

We'll see how serious we are to go for fringe playoffs in free agency. The Isaac pick was a pick toward competing this year, hell, even picking Iwundu was. If we sign a good point that can split minutes with Elf (Hill would be my choice) we could hover around .500

True. It's easy to forget how many games our bench lost us last year. The DJ, CJ, Rudez, Green, Biyombo lineups were some of my personal favorites

Yeah, I don't think Iggy is actually leaving GS, he's just gonna make em sweat a bit. I think KD will sign for less so they can afford Iguodala *Edit: Though the idea of him to Minnesota is really interesting... The T'Wolves could be a pain in the ass next year

I just hope we do something other than rolling the same team out there next year except for replacing Jeff Green with Jonathan Isaac.

I mean, except for that Aaron Gordon guy...

Last year really seemed like nerves. It seemed like once he finally got on the court he was overthinking and afraid to make a mistake instead of just letting the game come to him. Once he settled in late in the year he became one of our best passers and, though it's not saying much, was actually was one of our better perimeter defenders too. I know a lot of us, myself included, were frustrated because a supposedly elite shooter couldn't make a damn shot, but I'm just clinging to optimism because he's one of the few pieces we have left that we don't fully know what he is in the NBA yet. I'm just glad we haven't traded him, as his value around the league is incredibly low at the moment and we'd be better off just taking the risk of him turning in to something.

I'm on the throw last year out and forget about it train. Brand new coaching staff comes with a whole new defensive scheme and Mario spends the summer doing Olympic basketball. He didn't even see the court for half of the season because of it and it killed his confidence. I'd like to see what he does with a full summer under Vogel under his belt with time to learn without games every other day.

I guess my rebuttal to that would be that free agency hasn't even started yet and the offseason literally just got underway. I'll be more judgmental of next year's team when I know who's gonna be on it.

Kings waive Arron Afflalo

I don't get why people are worried about spacing with Isaac. The kid is a pretty good shooter.

Maybe eventually.. Isaac definitely needs to hit the weight room

I still don't get why we traded 35 when pick 23 was happening.. why not at least keep it until you see who's still on the board? I hope we have some excitement this offseason, I really don't want to see anymore Vucevic/Fournier 2-ball

I like the Isaac pick, after that... horrible draft... it's a long offseason, hopefully there's some sort of plan

I want Mason at 33

Get your Michael Porter jerseys now!

*sigh... I don't get it.

If we were gonna trade 25, we should've used it to trade up...
