    The cheap ass Chicago FO just sold an early second for 3.5 million. They are in talks of buying out Wade's 24M contract. What makes you think they would take on Turner's additional $45 million or so (over Rondo) for a measly second rounder?

    LMAO.

    What properly going to happen is that Davis and either Aminu or Harkless going be gone. Aminu if stays I see him moving back to small foward. They will try attach ML to any trade there going to do.

    Meyers + Napier + Quarterman to Minnesota for Rubio.

    Why Minnesota does it: It shaves an additional $2mil for the Teolves to be able to pursue Kyle Lowry this summer. Napier provides them with a backup pg and Leonard an additional shooter.

    Why we do it. Rubio to me is an ideal 3rd guard to pair with CJ and Dame providing extra length and decent steal capability, he also expires a year before Meyers does so we also shorten our cap obligations.

    Meyers, Ezeli and Davis are all on the chopping block and if NO nails an asset in return, I fully believe they are gone.

    Vonleh will not go anywhere for at least one more year. He was our starter for a reason.

    I was actually going to start a thread on this - we really only need one move this summer and that is to find a defensive oriented third guard.

    By far my #1 option is Marcus Smart - there isn't a close second.

    Patrick Beverly would be #2 on my list.

    Gotta get rid of Crabbe to do that IMHO. That guard would get no PT.

    And for us.

    When is someone going to gift us an all star final championship puzzle piece?

    Don't answer that.

    Hopefully it's Harkless is the one that is gone!

    When do we release Ezili? I thought Olshey said he was going to dump him.

    He's not better than Crabbe, Moe, or Turner when given starter minutes and they're the #1 or #2 option on their team. Which they all would be if they had gotten traded to Chicago or Indiana.

    Tell me why they wouldn't be? Especially for Crabbe.

    Rubio also fits that mold - he is one of the better defensive PGs out there. His advanced numbers are actually right there with Smart on this end.
