    They might get Okafor but I not going to believe some no-named source so I wouldn't say they have him yet. But agreed he is best at PF and their current C's are shit.

    New Orleans would just love to trade possibly the most versatile and talented player in the league for two overpaid players, a role player and a filler (so 4 players out of which 0 will improve them) plus three late picks. Such an amazing deal.

    At least include Dame or CJ in these fairy tale potential trade. Same goes for Cousins and Butler. We HAVE TO include CJ to land a player of this calibre.

    I think New Orleans is a good destination for Okafor as Davis would mask his lack of defense to an extent but what can they send back, realistically? Their first round pick this year will be a good asset but too high a price.

    No, saw that a guy says Noah and his contract are untradeable and I agree. I think Noah is an older hustle player, not an attractive combination

    This would be the only way we could land Butler: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=zpp2f5t
    Our 3 1sts and a 2019 1st would go to Chicago.
    The only way that would work is because Chicago would be dumping all their bad contracts, while landing 2 youngs pieces and 4 draft picks. Brooklyn isn't landing anyone in free agency so taking on Rondo with the reward of Vonleh and Leonard is worth it. Philadelphia gets Crabbe for Okafor

    PG Lillard (35) / McCollum (13)
    SG McCollum (20) / Wade (25) /B.B/E.T (3)
    SF Butler (35) / Bogdanivic (13) /(Turner*)
    PF Aminu (26) / Davis (22)
    C Lopez (24) / Nurkic (24)

    Not expecting this to happen, but since so many people are thinking we can get Butler, I had to outline how insane a deal it would take to land him.

    If that is true then I would pass on Butler. I like him a lot, but he isn't James or Durant. Giving away the entire future of the franchise is too much. If it went bad we would suck for a decade, and other teams would be getting our lottery picks.

    Sounds like we might be shedding some contracts here soon. I could see us using one of those firsts to attach to someone like Meyers.

    Brooke ain't worth it. He doesn't impact the game enough. If he did the Nets wouldn't be looking at the record they have and the years of losing since his arrival. But to me, if he was all that interested, a guy of his size would be closer to 12 rebs and 3 blks a game.

    He is more interested in collecting his check and getting his arse home.

    What are some hypothetical Crabbe trades?

    You realize this is a team sport, right?

    As for his rebounding, he's like his brother, he doesn't put up big rebounding stats but he boxes out really well and team rebounding goes up when he's on the court.

    That being said, I dont know why we're talking about another center. Nurkic didn't come to sit, and Olshey said they wanted to get younger at the position.

    I've just changed my mind about Vonleh. Maybe I'm missing something, cos I didn't see the game, but only thing Stotts can develop in Vonleh is frustration. No Plums, no Nurk and Stotts put him in for14mins. Meanwhile, Meyers shoots 0-100, still on the court. Again, I didn't see it, maybe there was something else going on, but I'm starting to think that Stotts got no idea what he's doing with rotation. I spot it on some sunday game (it was early), when he was taking hot hands off the court and I was wondering wtf he's trying to do.

    Saying that, I think we may as well trade Vonleh and I hate it, because I think he could be a monster. I think he won't develop under Stotts.
    And I'm not sure now if building through draft is that good idea with this coach. We would have to draft Durant, ready to play guy, because if we'll take rough dimond he will die on the bench.

    I think Neil is pushing to make another deal asap so he can come up with a game plan for next week. There is a bigger retool needed than simply the addition or Nurkic. They are going to give up the notion of making a strong push and get back to the rebuild they started in the summer of 2015.

    Ok here are some quick ideas for a Meyers, Memphis pick package

    To Brooklyn for Chris McCullough.

    To Orlando for Ibaka. Probably have to add Vonleh to this one.

    That's all I got lol.

    Same.

    But I don't want to use a 1st round pick just to move a bad contract. Milwaukee was able to move the other Plumlee for team-friendly deals without surrounding any picks and we should use that as a baseline. If anything, we need to acquire more picks, giving us more flexibility on draft night to move up the draft.
