    Pistons taking calls for Caldwell-Pope and Drummond.

    I'd love Caldwell-Pope as a 3rd guard. Too bad he's too small to play SF.

    Shoot, if Philadelphia wants Crabbe for Okafor, I'd take that and try to swing Okafor for Caldwell-Pope.

    Bogut's offense has really fallen off in DAL this year, but that's to be expected after coming from GSW and it's not why you trade for him. He is still an elite level rebounder at both ends of the court and currently has a DBPM > 5.0 for the fourth season in a row, which is pretty damn impressive.

    He's an expiring, which could be seen as either good, or bad, depending on what he costs you. Worst case, he's a 3 - 4 month rental, but if BOS wants to make a deep playoff run, he'd really help address their two biggest weaknesses. He may, or may not, re-sign with you over the summer - if you wish, but at his age, I don't think he will command an outrageous contract. He also seems like a loyal guy who values stability and a good situation over chasing as much money as possible.

    Back in mid-November, when we were above .500 and looking like a middle playoff seed, I wanted to get Nerlens Noel, Serge Ibaka and Andrew Bogut to be our three headed front court. All three are way better than anyone we had, would have given us great defense and rebounding and with one young player (22), one mid-career guy (27) and a savvy vet (32), they would have all had clearly defined roles.

    Ah well, what could have been. I'm not disappointed in the Plumlee/Nurkic, but if all three of those guys get moved and we get none of them, I will be a little disappointed.

    Well, there you go. Look for DWill to UTA and Bogut to a playoff team (likely BOS) looking for some rebounding and interior defense.

    how bout Crabbe and Cle 1st (if needed) for Okafor and one of either Bayless or Hendo? both are due 9 mil next yr, Bayless has one more yr after that and that makes Crabbe's contract look pretty decent and both Hendo and Bayless are useful players

    It would be funny if Deron and Bogut ended up in Utah.

    Lot of buzz about Utah wanting to bring Deron back today...I think that's where he ends up.

    I doubt he plays either....but getting close to the floor doesn't save them money. They just have to pay it out to the players on the roster.

    Maybe they are trying to make room for Crabbe, Leonard and Ezeli for Okafor. :bgrin:

    Two expirings traded, Sixers pick up a couple seconds and improve their chances for losing and getting a better lotto pick as Ersan has played well for them and Tiago is pretty worthless
