    Guys I'm really starting to warm to Meyers Leonard. He's the 3rd big in Portland's rotation behind Plumlee and Vonleh. We can offer him a much larger role. His upside is tremendous. Throw some sizable cash at him and let's see how bad Portland wants to keep him.

    I think sarcasm has gone the way of the Latin language. Unfortunately.

    Although the methods are not agreeable, she wants the same thing we do.

    To be a winning franchise again, and to get rid of her brother.

    She wants Phil Jackson in charge, I don't, so no she doesn't want the same thing I do.

    No she doesn't or she wouldn't have leaked that info Ding got. Jeanie is a selfish, egomaniac. She may want us to win, but only her way. Screw her.

    Phil and Jeanie hooking up is the seed that started all this garbage.

    Only about 45 minutes until we see the likes of Chandler Parsons, Nicolas Batum, Harrison Barnes, Bismack Biyumbo, and Kent Bazemore getting max contracts. Never thought I'd see the day where role players get paid like superstars.

    She wants that douche to man up and marry her, but he won't. I think that he is just an easy go to security blanket, but not the only option. She has shown herself to be willing to let the basketball people do their thing. I think she has reason to trust Mitch, but not Jimmy.

    I haven't been following, can someone give me a brief summary of our FA so far?

    A lot of rumors and speculation. We've been linked to just about everyone in free agency, but no actual meeting other than a phone call with Batum if Charlotte doesn't max him out. It's been a very depressing day to say the least. I'm stunned that we didn't at least get a meeting with Whiteside.

    Summary: bad. Everyone hates us and nobody wants to sign here.

    Seriously though all big names are passing. Only Parsons and Evan Turner have expressed interest. We're interested in Derrick Williams, Biyombo, and Tyler Zeller.

    Bismack Biyombo
    6'9" C
    24 years old
    Projected FG%: 56%
    Projected 3pt%: 0%
    Projected FT%: 59%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 12.5
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 21.6
    Projected Offensive Impact: -3.2
    Projected Defensive Impact: 2.4
    Projected Value over Replacement: 0.6
    Verdict: Biyombo isn't much of an offensive player (but he has improved each of the past two seasons), but he rebounds well, plays excellent defense, is a quality big in this small-ball era. He's a good PnR player, too, so he may make the most of his skills on offense. Worth big money.

    Chandler Parsons
    6'9" SF
    28 years old
    Projected FG%: 47.9%
    Projected 3pt%: 39.5%
    Projected FT%: 71%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 22.9
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 25.4
    Projected Offensive Impact: 2.0
    Projected Defensive Impact: 0.2
    Projected Value over Replacement: 2.3
    Verdict: Parsons is good, and he would immediately be the best player on the Lakers. He'd bring leadership and a well-rounded game. He's also good for attracting FAs. In LA's current situation, this would be a major coup.

    This could move quickly. Either DD signs a Max deal or is arranging meeting with other teams as soon as possible.

    Raptors better not mess around. Max him.

    At this point I desperately want both these players. Fill in the blanks with old guys but I want these two.
