    damn, so not only did his team not have his back, they couldn't get someone to cover it up?

    Israel Gutierrez looks like he got the freshly-frosted look for the big game tonight.

    Why have the wolves been scheduled in Mexico twice? Trying to judge interest?

    It's crazy to think that Gerald Green was in the D-League a few years ago.

    He's a guy that would vault this team into a real contender. In PHX he's Jamal Crawford with a 40" vert.

    4-4 from 3 so far. I bet Rasta is besides himself...My biggest knock on him has been his shooting which could go up. Still don't think he fits the league.

    He might be worth more than T-Rob though. Guy has been a huge disappointment.

    He is a Vladimir Radmanovic. He will stick in the NBA for 10 years and be a 10th man on a good team.

    A few candidates already who will be ripe for the picking.

    New York is playing like crap. Denver is playing like crap. Detroit is struggling.

    Who do you want from those teams? What do you want to give for them?

    Re: "OFFICIAL" Around the NBA season Thread

    I guess it all depends on whether you want to go for a home run, or go for a safe pickup.

    It sucks Joe Johnson is making so much money. He'd be a perfect vet to bring off the bench. The guy is still making 20+ million per year. Fucking ridiculous.

    Shumpert would be a good target. Wilson Chandler can be a good player. David West would be awesome, but he's making 12 million. That would eat up a ton of cap space this summer.

    I figure we have 6-7 million to work with.

    Dorell Wright - $3 million
    Thomas Robinson - $3.6 million
    Victor Claver - $1.4 million

    So about $8 million if we wanted to use it.

    If Drummond keeps having disappointing year do you go after him to see if you can buy low?

    Blazers can't be too high on him or you think they would have moved the 11 to get him.

    Nah, Detroit won't move him. They're going to lose Monroe this summer.

    Thad Young would be a good target.

    Yeah, you have to think with Dame/Blake/CJ we have plenty of shooting. Someone like Thad would be great.

    I don't know about that. Maybe part of his displeasure was the focus being on Drummond. Maybe giving Monroe the keys and a fat check would be enough to keep him. Monroe is solid and fairly proven, Drummond is solidl but not proven.
