    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Why the surprise? Rumor has had them in the Butler trade talks and they have a decent collection of assets.

    He's a shitty defender and doesn't space the floor. Not sure how he helps us.

    That and the fact that Kanter thinks defense is that thing in de back yard that keeps his dog in.

    Rubio is one guy I wouldn't mind trading Turner or Crabbe for.

    defense is a team skill....folks need to see that a defensive coordinator is the fix there period.

    Oh I agree with you. I'm literally one of the biggest Kanter haters.
    Simply because he's never shown improvement in his game.

    But Donnavan can't play Kanter because if Westbrick isn't willing to give Kanter the ball. He's a negative on the floor.

    I'd rather have Austin Rivers if that were an option and I want to keep Turner

    You're not tracking.

    He's talking about keeping #15, and trading #20 and #26 + Harkless (or whoever) for #10 to draft Collins. So, we don't have #20 in that scenario.

    It's a scenario I'm fond of.
