    Aminu and the two 2018 firsts seems like a very real possibility for both teams.

    Git 'er done, Neil.

    I would not give up 2 first and Aminu for Middleton just to much. Plus PA loves the draft so I don't see that happening.

    It's time for the Blazers to become more of a veteran team. We don't need more draft picks.

    I think if Crabbe started, he could do everything Parsons is doing.

    Plus, Crabbe is only 23 (seriously, I forgot this, like I thought he was 25) and Parsons is already 27.

    Maybe we concentrate on retaining Harkless and Crabbe this offseason, and go after Steven Adams in 2017.

    Given how young all three of Noah, Crabbe, and Harkless are, we might as well let them grow. Leonard too if he doesn't take more money to go be somewhere else.

    Probably the best course of action. Harkless is def a keeper.

    Although RFA's - Festus Ezeli and Jordan Clarkson would be worth keeping tabs on, IMO. (as long as FE comes back healthy)

    What would--in your mind--be a reasonable price for Middleton that Milwaukee would actually be willing to accept?

    Instead of trading for Middleton just wait for Montero to develop lol you laugh now but with this coaching staff he's probably the next Tmac hahaha

    How many Buck players have we wanted desperately to trade for in the Last 3-4 years?
    Sanders, Henson, Middleton, Giannis, Monroe....

    You would think the way we covet their players they would win more than they have.

    Always hurt and we need a good defender at SF.

    Their pieces don't mesh at all.

    I've liked Mirza & Ian; only problem/potential problem would b their ages: Mirza 30 & Ian 29. I'm not ultra-"Jazzed" about Trevor but I wouldn't fight him coming here (he's 28).

    No matter what though, no matter who we get, especially if it's 1 of ^ 3, don't overpay for them/get locked into them for too long; these guys can all help us but if it takes overpaying to get them, forget it. There r only a few guys that would b worth overpaying for; as the players become attainable, I'll let u know then if they're worth overpaying for (i.e. IF a PG13 or Jimmy Butler became REAL possibilities, THESE guys would be worthy!):tongue:

    They're only "unnamed" because Sly can't spell Worcestershire or Bechamel or Chatkaar

    Really starting to warm to the idea of pursuing Chandler Parsons this summer. I know he's gonna get full max, and Cuban will offer the full 5-years with 7.5% raises, but if he can see how much better his title chances will be by coming here, we might have a shot.

    Parsons isn't a defender though. I'd rather continue developing Crabbe. If we are going to go after a SF I would honestly rather go after Batum...

    He has knee issues. No thank you. Batum is better and doesn't have as serious of an injury history.

    Been pumping the bring back Nic thing for a while now-- he'd fit in seamlessly with this roster.
