The options are becoming few if we don't sign DJ.

I'm still hoping plan A works.

Plan A better work but I'm seeing a lot of criticism of my plan B but not hearing many ideas for a plan B from others.
Not trying to start an argument with anyone but it appears there aren't many options because the ideas aren't exactly pouring out.

It gets really scary if Plan A doesn't work and I'm beginning to get some bad vibes.
Would have thought we'd have to be on the favorable side of 60/40 chance to be optimistic but 50/50 with Clips isn't a good sign imo.

Yep, the ideas aren't pouring out because there really aren't any other options... We're all-in on DeAndre Jordan at this point.

I can't believe how quickly the FA market dried up before the big names even made their decisions -- we're not even 48 hours into this thing and it's almost over.

And the problem we have no trade pieces other than trade exceptions and that won't go far.

We really seem to be at the DJ/Matthews or bust point.
The latter should motivate Cuban to start thinking about rebuilding from scratch.
Can't just throw a bunch of scraps around Dirk and expect anything at this point.

Did anyone understand that everybody would sing this quickly? Do we know exactly why? Last year wasn't like this, right?
I would be interested in reading a post-free agency period article on what the hell people think happened.

I think the quick signing is because neither LMA or DJ based on their destinations changes the landscape of things. Last year Melo and Bron and Bosh all could have potentially left the East and made it to the west to stacked teams. This year it's just 2 guys who for the most part just may move from one playoff contender to the other.

Usually the dominos fall after the big fish sign.
Not sure what the hurry was but DJ is really hosing this thing up for everyone and unfortunately he was probably our biggest target.

We simply can't catch a break.

I'm just wondering now what kind of pieces we can put around DJ even if he does sign and Matthews doesn't or even vise versa.

I can't remember a free agency where this much action happened so quickly.
