    I don't recall, but were they 50/40/90 during the time they were teammates?

    if it has to be simultaneous, then durant/curry hasn't actually happened yet, either.

    Good luck to Bobby. I hope he finds a home somewhere.

    Well I think the point is Nash didn't do it until after he'd already left Dallas so technically they weren't teammates under that criteria because Nash hadn't done it yet?

    I don't know.

    Getting rid of Young and signing Barbosa will be a great ending for this free agency.

    *Using last season's numbers. Doesn't include numbers for Ingram and Zubac.

    We should be a better team than last year, and we should be better than the year prior to that. That's a low bar, mind you, but I don't see how we can look at this offseason as anything less than a solid improvement in the short term and very promising for the future.

    Termine & Johnson are Clowns.. They are knowledgeable, but their show is a circus.. I like to listen to NBA Radio when I'm driving.. I usually can't make it more than 5-10 minutes into their show before changing the channel.. No matter who or what they're talking about..

    Good stuff. I am still concerned with our defense. It couldn't be any worse than last year, though.

    We also do not have a legitimate number 1 offensive option; somebody to draw secondary defenders or attention from the defense.

    Agreed. I only have about a 10-15 mins commute to work, and I hit the irritation point pretty quick...lol

    A bit more context...

    2013-14
    27 wins
    -5.2
    -8.3
    4.2

    2012-13
    45 wins
    +1.1
    -4.9
    12.7

    We might be a much better team than we have been the past three years, but that doesn't mean we'll win more than 35 games.
