    I guess it's better than nothing.... but not by much.

    Just say no to David Lee

    I'd include Batum in some other deal and make way for Barnes, though

    IF they actually have a pick to throw our way, I'm liking this idea. It satisifies all three of my criteria for an Aldridge trade. (Young lottery pick, future first rounder, 2014 cap space.)

    Hell, if we get lucky Bogus misses most of the season with an injury and we get our own lotto pick next year. :devilwink:

    I go with Bogut + Thompson. Lillard and Thompson would be the best shooting backcourt in the league. Deadly.

    Thompson is also a good defender

    Barnes > Thompson

    Which is why GS probably wouldn't give him up for Aldridge

    Give me Bogut and Barnes.

    Flip Batum into something of use.

    I am not so sure about that, I think Thompson is the better defender of the two and he's also a very good shooter, I'm thinkin tossup but Thompson can guard bot guard positions

    One thing to remember that the 2014 draft is rather strong at the SF position (4 or 5 projected top 10 players @ SF): Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Robinson III

    How connected is this guy? "discovery69"

    If that's his site, i'm dubious about the idea of him having inside info.

    TBPUP from realGM is where I saw it, he's "decently" reliable as these things go

    Bring him back to do what? Mow the lawn? Clean the bathrooms?

    What is Dave (Blazer'sEdge) talking about on the radio? CHA and DET? Those teams are not going to be trading for LA, nor would he want to go there (and stay)....guy has lost his marbles...

    GS, CHI, CLE...possibly teams like HOU, LAC (reduce chance now) all make a ton more sense...

    Drummond is my pipe dream.

    Dave is just throwing out suggestions.

    I'm confident Barnes will be the better pro.

    Thompson is kind of a one trick pony. Barnes has already shown signs of a diverse offensive game at 20 years old.

    He's going to be good.

    Bogut/Barnes/Pick? for LA + force em to take back Freeland. I'd do that. Looked through some numbers a few days ago, and I'd definitely take Barnes over Klay.

    And move Wessy in a S&T for a PF (take your pick: Al Jeff/Smoove/Millsap)

    This lineup is better than what we can get if LA is here: Dame/Nic/HB/Millsap/Bogut

    Yeah, they seemed to have more knowledge back in the day than they do now. Now, they're extremely vague, like a palm reader. And yet, it still seems they've been more off than on. I'd say this changed when KP was let go, so it could be a case of just keeping up appearances.

    If we got Barnes; we would have 4 lotto picks from last year. Wow
