Yes, to Orlando.

Orlando isn't going to be a top team, but they will be vastly improved. With Vogel at the helm and Biombo and Ibaka in the paint, they will be a top defensive team.

Rivers 3/$35 for Clippers. Going to last longer in the league than many thought.

Another signing that went kind of unnoticed, Eric Gordon to Houston.

Worth it (especially since it wasn't any of my money being spent)

Also...Magic will be good defensively. But who is going to score on that team?

I honestly wonder how long it takes for Dan Gilbert to make $54mm.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see how Wade ever leaves Miami. Milwaukee or Denver? GTFO.

Rondo to Bulls....I kinda like that move. I like point guards that don't need to score to affect the game.

Not a chance in hell to those places even though Milwaukee (which sounds as bad as it gets) but closer to home

Jamal Crawford 3/42 for the Clippers

He's old but fits well with what they do. Dude can hit some crazy shots. A real nice contract to cap off a long career.

Durant making announcement tomorrow. I've got a bad feeling it's Golden State.

I just don't think so. I can't fathom that working for everyone. Durant needs a championship so I can kinda see him being ok with fewer scoring opportunities and I can see Draymond being good with it and sacrificing his scoring opportunities and having 8 pt, 10 asst, 10 rb games.....Curry would be giving up shots and sharing MVP votes with Durant....Klay would lose a ton of shots IMO.

Durant isn't nearly bitchy enough to mix in and I think Klay would be a little butt hurt and I think Curry would get some hurt feelz.

I could honestly see trouble if he goes to GSW.

Well, I used to hate J.R. Smith so if Klay lost a little bitchy and was an elite 3 point shooter and pretty good defender....I could pull for him on the Cavs. Zero chance though.

Yeah, Broussard thinking it's not OKC. Man there would be a lot of pressure on that team. Replace Barnes with Durant

The only trouble would be for the league. That would be possibly one of if not the greatest NBA team ever if he did and that's not hyperbole. Seriously you would have the DPOY and 3 All Star Starters in your starting lineup. Durant's versatility works so well for that team too, they could run Curry-Thompson-Igoudala-Durant-Green and it would be a nightmare for teams defensively

So Dennis Johnson, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish...mix in sharp shooter Danny Ainge and a bench with guys like Bill Walton

The Lakers beat that team twice in the finals.
