    He would cost a vet min, do it. Trade someone and sign him.

    Prince isn't better than Wright at this stage in his career

    ?

    Prince's numbers this year aren't bad and he WAS on a good team...

    7.3 PPG / 3.2 RPG / 1.4 APG on .410/.455/.833

    Plus he is a GREAT locker room guy.

    And was playing 24 minutes a game!!!! 24!!!! I don't know if KS doesn't follow other teams or what, but imagine his production without tired legs. Dude could be a big time lock down defender!

    Hell yes, and he's been there before...all the way. Prince knows what's up.

    Holy shit dude you're right. Crabbe shows tons of promise on defense, he actually is almost Prince esque with worse defense and better shooting.

    I'd make a move on Prince over Chandler. The price would be much lower because we could waive Barton and Claver and end up with Oneal and Prince... 2 legitimate veterans for pieces who have struggled to prove their worth. That is a massive win if we could pull it off.

    My dream scenario...

    POR: Aaron Afflalo
    DEN: CJ McCollum, T-Rob, Blazers 2016 (top 20 protected) first
    NYK: JJ Hickson and Victor Claver

    Then sign Tayshaun Prince...

    Dame / Blake
    Wes / Afflalo / Crabbe
    Batum / Prince / Crabbe
    Aldridge / Freeland
    Lopez / Kaman

    Just saw on The Starters that Gerald Green only has 4 fingers on his right hand. Did you guys know this?

    Nate Robinson anyone?
    http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...om-Nuggets-To-Celtics-Likely-To-Be-Bought-Out

    The Boston Celtics are close to a trade with the Denver Nuggets for Nate Robinson.

    Robinson's camp expects him to be bought out by the Celtics.

    Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Los Angeles Clippers and Nuggets previously discussed a trade. The Clippers are expected to attempt to sign Robinson once he clears waivers.

    Robinson has been with the Nuggets since the 2013 offseason.

    I think you get unfairly ripped on a lot, but it's stupid crap like this that drives people to do it.

    Yep, that was actually one of the reasons he slipped in the draft. Scouts were worried it would affect his shot.

    I'd be fine with Nate. Gives us a third PG. Positive attitude. Finals experience.
