hey Andrew-you didn’t mention the Gortat rumors…. Sources here in OKC have him as the free agent “catch of the day”, and I think he would be a great fit for our weak 5 spot!

Great to see a hard working dude like Millsap get paid even though its way too much…

They don’t need Gorden, blood Harden with a combo of Westbrook, Durant, Green & Kristic or even a trade with Clips for Camby or Kaman…Millsaps energy and enthusiasm off the bench will be huge for them.

Hey DK I wouldn’t be insulting people if you don’t even know what fck u be talking about. and bringing up Kobe as your example, if you forgot kobe as well as MJ didn’t develop their J’s until later in their careers. In terms of the NBA you can develop all of your basketball skills but your height and athleticism will always be roughly the same, case in point kevin love might become a little more athletic but he will never become dwight Howard physicallly.

@ 32

Sorry… the first line of that last post (#32) should read “You might have a legit argument that Millsap is not worth $65 million, but IT WON’T be b/c he’ll revert back to mediocrity…”

@ Spiff 2 My Lou

You might have a legit argument that Millsap is not worth $65 million, but be b/c he’ll revert back to mediocrity like so many other FA’s in the past… some of these other guys like Jerome James were spurred on b/c of a new contract and then reverted back to their lazy ways. Millsap on the other hand has always been an all-out baller wherever he goes. He’ll play hard and get you double-double numbers as long as he gets starter minutes… the question is whether he has enough upside to sustain that come playoff time when matched up consistently against bigger players and more intense game conditions.

My opinion is that he’s a perfect 3rd man off the bench… probably not quite worth $65k.

@23 You cant teach having a natrural Bryantesque jumpshot dip shit. Obviously your to busy pimping your mom to understand what I meant. Sure, Bron will have decent jumper but it will never be a Kobe Bryant jumper, ever…boy…

I wouldn’t recommend anybody give BG the kind of money he’s looking for he’s simply not worth that on the market, he’s really only a good option off the bench. That being said, there is no gaurantee that Harden becomes this allstar player that everyone thinks he’s going to be…but still I’d also go with Milsap in this case, but not for 65 mil.

@JRav, the difference then was, at that point, drexler was seen as better than jordan. People forget, jordan wasnt JORDAN in college. He was a freak athlete while drexler was a freak athlete and already proven in th nba as a allstar level guy.
