Imagine the Lakera sign him just to piss off the C's
I can see him fitting him in nicely alongside chris paul or durant....
If OK sign him, allows them to draft a small and not have to worry about a big man...

re OKC: it deosnt necessarily mean they dont need a big man if they pick him up. he's wide, but he definitely not big (6'7" or 6'8" if im not mistaken?)... OKC would need a quality centre or a pass first point guard as westbrook is more a combo guard from what i know of him...

He played as a centre for alot of the playoffs with Perk in foul trouble/resting, and I'm 100% sure if OKC took him, he'd start at c with Green at PF. Westbrook may be a combo gaurd, and if I am not mistaken, sg is his natural position, but he is like randy foye where he can play both positions, and made his name during his rc season playing as a pg.

That may be the case, but who said it wouldn't work? I guess all will be revealed in good time! Fun to speculate in the mean time though!

lol then nothing happens in the offseason, all of a sudden you have a 6 player major trade half way through the season
Well we made it clear we wont over pay for players just like Posey last year. Posey wanted his payday but it was clearly more than what he should get for the input he gives you. If he had of taken less he could still be playing right now against the Cavs.
Players are only 'due' money if they have been around long term and shown loyalty by pay cuts etc in the past and you back load their contracts in later years.
And no team in their right mind would sign BBD for a starting C spot.
Will be an interesting off season for us in what direction guys choose to go. I for one think Powe deserves his spot. Tony Allen can go and Scal's contract could be worth a bit but if he leaves he needs replacing but with who?
There could be a multi player trade that includes Pruitt imo who shows a lot but is in the doghouse. JR and Walker are players of the future for us and its hard to see them going anywhere considering our draft choices are so low after two consecutive 60+ win seasons.

After seeing what Dwight did to the Cavs and how he got his shots makes one thing stand out.
Kendrick Perkins is one of the top 5 defenders in the league
Dwight couldn't get anything but cheap put backs against us and even then it was because Perk did the team thing and played help out D and no one covered the lane. And the cavs had a combo of Wallace AND Z to throw at him.
He better get at least ONE vote for defensive player of the year next year no matter the media bias of the award based on players profile.

Just as I predicted these owners want to win, winning makes you even more money no matter how much you might have to spend to get it. The key ins for next year are KG and some more FA's. You have to count KG as an in because this Celts team very nearly went to the ECF's without him :v:
Grousbeck also said the stated intentions of Ainge and Rivers to sign a veteran free agent or two this summer are not hollow.
The checkbook, he said, will be open for the right player, regardless of luxury tax ramifications.
"We’re planning to look for ways to improve our team," Grousbeck said. "We’re willing to invest in the right way. If it’s the right situation and the right player, then we’ll do it.
"I think we all have someone in mind right now," he said of some of the names that are about to become free agents. "We’re willing to consider all sorts of ways if it means winning Banner 18."

I wouldn't be surprised. Starbury showed some good offense and playmaking in limited minutes. He's obviously rusty and not in the best conditioning right now - but he still has game.
I'd love to see him starting somewhere else.

The Bucks maybe?

Haha not sure that's a great fit for them.
Starbury, Redd, Bogut, Villanueva.
A combined defensive effort of 1 man haha.

I dont think Villa will be there next season, he's contracts up and the bucks don't have the $ to sign him up again. I was just thinking of a team that need an established og, maybe the warriors then?
