    Millsap is a far superior player to Lee, and a better all-around player IMHO than Boozer. He's very comparable to D. West.

    I would love to see pace-adjusted figures for David Lee.... great rebounder, average everywhere else...

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Now that's burning through his Microsoft money at a fevered pace. But if Allen was willing, I'd love to gamble on Deng and also pick up Hinrich.

    You mean, he's going to foul out within 5 mins?

    I have been hard on KP, so it is only fair to applaud him now. (assuming this story is true)

    There may be an element of risk - but it is still worth the effort.

    You work at Amazon? That's very cool. I do all my shopping there, I can't imagine the benefits of an employee discount. (Well, I could imagine them...what I mean is that I'm too lazy to calculate them.)

    Yeah ... I can defintely see that. I'd do that deal. Both tems would basiically be giving up a great defensive player at a position of less need to add a defensive player at a position of great need

    The 13 man depth chart would look something like this:
    Blake/Bayless/Mills
    Roy/Rudy
    Battier/Batum/Martell(?)
    LMA/Milsap/Cunningham?
    Oden/Pendergraph

    with the rookies likely getting very little minutes aside from garbage time or to fill in for injuries.

    Edit: How could I forget Nic? ack!

    I can't see Millsap signing unless he's certain he's going to receive playing time. If that's the case then we would probably be moving Joel :sigh:

    Didn't they just sign Gortat? It would sure be crowded if Yao came back.

    Bummer. Cap space would be wasted on this deal IMO.

    This kind of trade proposal is nuts.

    More like Joel and Blake for Hinrich might get Chicago's interest.

    Yea that would mean no lopsided trade. The question is how much money is on the table.

    I was thinking the same thing. Remember that talk of a Hinrich/Thomas to PDX, Boozer to CHI and cap space to Utah deal? Perhaps this is a way of forcing their hand.

    I wouldn't feel so bad trading Joel if he is indeed going to opt out next year..I love that guy though..we better add toughness back from a Joel trade though

    I don't get these people suggesting LA playing the 5. It's nice in theory, but what if LA gets hurt? Then you are LAKERed (that is my new f-bomb) You would have to have Pendergraph start playing some Center time in any Pryz trade. If you want to trade Pryz, you really need to get some awful back up center in return

    There had better be a secondary move involving a trade, because wasting cap space on a back-up PF in a buyer's market would be a terrible move.
