In fairness, doesn't ANY move that ANY team makes at this point fall within that category?!

Sure why not. Clint needs some help.

Capela & Dedmon are both foul prone; Clint fouled out 3 times last season, Dedmon twice, I believe.

Low-risk; high upside signing. TO has to be more enticing from a winning standpoint, but he'll have more opportunity in Houston. Will be interesting which destination he ends up in. This is a clear sign that we aren't gonna go after the bigger fish like Ezeli.

Winning and playing time goes to Toronto. He'd play the Biyombo role in TOR, and here, he's not even guaranteed playing time.

I forgot they let Bizmack walk. Yep, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Regardless of Warriors... Dedmon would be a solid get and backup center

And fingers crossed, y'all seem to forget... injuries happen in sports. I ain't wishing that on anybody, but it happens.

Also, the first (recent) SUPER TEAM (Heat) didn't win a title in their first year together (went 2 for 4).... also, remember when NOBODY gave the Pistons a chance vs. LAL (featuring Shaq, Kobe, Mailman, and Glove)... IJS

Dedmon has a career average of 5.9 PFs per 36 minutes. Hard to imagine him as a starter.

I'druther McBob (+ an incentive) from Heat; C position is an odd one with 'our' new coach, anyway. Just sayin'...

I think he could though...hes not as long as clint, not by a lot though..but he moves very well, sprints surprisingly well at his height..can play the lob game, even nice touch on a floater, and actually has a jumper that looks solid. Some time with Dream and Lucas...I wouldnt be surprised if he became our starter. Hed probably come close to 10/10/2, as is, with starters minutes..

Shoutout Codman again. Not sure if this is who he's referring to though. (DD)

Things change. Allegedly, Dwayne and Whiteside aren't on the same page. He doesn't have to sign unless his agent (whom is great) thinks this is his best chance to grow. Second Fiddle to Dwayne will age his growth. You need a man who teaches post moves (Hi, Dream)It sounds like Miami wants a Shaq-type with a dominating dunk-skill set, bt HW is way more talented on many levels, especially with a lean body and the drive to succeed after all f of the rejections. Houston could nurture that, and that's the appeal my EARS have heard. Young HW is, in the least, a budding offensive LaMarcus with defense and youth. He has been working on that baby hook, too. His shot is underrated, and he wants to live outside of the shadows of Dwayne, an icon in Miami. He's young and has the potential for something special. And, can you IMAGINE a center with a post game, defense and the ability to SHOOT?!?! That's exciting after D12 had trouble shooting farther than a pput-back or an oop. A center with skills, coachable tendencies and the desire to pave his own lane is more than desirable. I'm a fan, but like I've said, my ear say NN isn't our Philly guy and the smaller "Footwork/shooting God" has mutual interest in becoming a Houston major player. I'd be pumped. i havent seen those moves in the post in years, even if he has legal issues. Houston is known for helping troubled young guns.

Don't kill the messenger. July is busy. My Ears hear a lot, and even a guy like Bass (big fan...LA abused him)is being considered to revitalize his career as a pick--pop with Htown. He can rebound, and has history with Mike. Google family ties.

I don't get the sense from my guy in ATL that we are rebuilding. We are compiling pieces around James to get back to relevancy. This is not a JLin/CP3BrokenKnees/ Thomas 2Sandwiches/and dependency on ISO ball.

Keep an eye on Philly. Fire Sale, but again, NN isn't the primary, despite reports. We do well with troubled guys. One in particular could change our PF spot drastically. And, he wants out apparently. Losing kills competitive nature. Even our beloved James and D12 showed that at times.

Love ya'll. Thanks for my health support, but with July here, it's busy, and Les is not going to bring out a 76ers type of culture.

James needs a shooting PG.
We need a sharp shooting PF. Marv won't get his money with what other guys are comanding.
A C with pick-n-roll abilities and a skill to shoot beyond 2 ft
And guys with Mike's vision of nailing down jumpers/3s without too much problem.

If it were my team, Jahlil would be here, a very possible Fly Ry and a BUNCH of BIRDs that I've referenced for years. NO/ATL and even the 6 (not a bird, though) are moving. I just don't see how a DD (not DaDakota) would exist with James.

I'm sick, but please, please, despite his early meetings, KD will give us our moment, especially if we have a plan.

According to Thunder we will be one of the busier teams after letting down Houston last year. It's not a rebuild. Allegedly, it's compiling the players to make Mike's offensive plans work. You need your shooters, understanding of his offense and a buy-in, whih is a BIG issue after the debacle of my guy JBB and Kev last year.

I feel pretty positive about this, even with an inkling that CB will be given up for a SF who can hit a bucket before the radiation makes me slap this nurse who tells me it is a special poison to get me back on the court in Phoenix.

That's WAY more than enough for now.

Don't count our your LOVE, Your White side a Sweet Lou and some guys who will make it happen to reunite with Mike D.

Thunder told me he has one of the better relationships in all of the league with his former players, including Dwight (Please, no).

Love my Rockets fans. You're the most loyal. Just remember the good days of Smoov. He's out, told first hand awhile back.

Cod.

We're going to be right back up there... with a new cap, James friendship and enough shots to keep all happy.

PS...Thunder says Bledsoe is not the same explosiveness. Knight is worth a look.

Peace and enjoy the 4th.

This guy Dedmon sucks. Not an NBA talent. Averaged a wopping 5 ppg in college. Give me a f'ing break. Have we hit the absolute bottom. Morey/Les going cheap after the NBA just granted ownership 50% of a 42 BILLION dollar contract. How in the hell did we not go after ZaZa for the 2 million it took the Warriors to sign him. With 4 all stars the Warriors should be stuck with the total crap leftovers like Dedmon....not us!!!
