    I'd take Nate. He can score and would cost nothing but a Claver buyout (which both parties would likely agree on).

    My hat is not strong enough to defend itself although it can take the heckling.

    The good thing about Nate is he knows he's a 6 man, bad thing is he's a really short one

    Haha thanks for that! At least I'm not going mad. I reckon AK47 would fill a greater need and some of his stats are off the chart. His kind of like an older Batum, a fill alot of categories guy

    Who cares how short you are if you can score on a vet min contract. I'd love to nab Nate then trade for the wing we need.

    Nate would be awesome! Look what he did in Chicago under one of the most rigid coaches in the league. He'd be an upgraded version of Mo. And by upgraded version I mean cooler. Chemistry wise he should fit in just fine. I know he's close with dame

    I am not sure of his contract but I bet we end up getting someone like Chase Budinger. Someone under the radar, not too splashy but would get the job done.

    Chase has another year at 5 mil on his contract plus he is putting up 5/3/1 and can barely get any run on a terrible team, no thanks.

    Budinger? Might as well just give Crabbe more minutes.

    Which means I think people are going to get their hopes up that something bigger and better is coming through that door.

    I would much rather do that. I saying what I think will happen not what I want to happen.

    Yeah I know. I think either we trade for someone like Chandler, or we do nothing at all. Maybe sign Nate or one of those buyout candidates like Prince

    I'd be happy with Nate, dump Barton.

    I'm with the boat that Olshey will either make a big splash or no splash at all. The thing with Crabbe could be why he hasn't played much. I don't think Olshey wants to part with him.

    It seems it just takes our coaching staff a little longer to see results, take Myers, Cj and freeland. Most people wanted these guys traded this time last year. Even Claver has improved as a shooter from the small sample of games he has played recently. Crabbe might be our makeshift Chandler in the waiting. It all depends on if the team wants to do a major vet upgrade for this years run or not.

    Hell, I'd even say the game in Chicago this year was Beibs worst game of his career, and there were more than a few who wanted him gone. Same with CJ. I don't -want- to get rid of them, since we are seeing production from them two, but if it makes us a contender, then I won't regret that we tried it.

    (BGD, your obligatory didn't-read-the-entire-post comment about how all of the players are untouchable in your failed sarcastic tone can commence now.)
