We should get Tyson Chandler. I think there's a match there. Meyers has familiarity with both Earl Watson and Jay Triano. Phoenix is going young. We could use a proven backup behind Nurkic. A Leonard Meyers swap might not save us money (although chandlers contract is up before Leonards) but it does make us better. Phoenix gets a younger project. We add a second or two if need be.
I'm not a Biebs fan at all, but I think his value is higher than Chandler's. Biebs is much younger and paid less. Besides, I think backup C is spoken for.
I like it, but I'd like it more if we could drop Ed too, as with Tyson he'd be pretty redundant. Kind of doubt Phoenix would want both of those guys though. Would love if we could pull off something like this: Crabbe to Brooklyn Dudley and Chandler to Portland Booker and Leonard to Phoenix Brooklyn gets Crabbe as a piece for Booker, Phoenix gets younger and comes out revenue neutral (add a year on Leonard subtract a year on Booker), we get out of 2 bad contracts and take two shorter ones, trim $7M in the current year, and get some vet help.
After having a horrid start to his career Emmanuel Mudiay seems to have fallen out of favor. He was shopped during the draft and now the Nuggets are after George Hill. How bad is his start? His (2015-16) -2.1 WS is tied for 5th worst .....in NBA history. He's a worthy project IMO -- if you're patient. His value is rock bottom right now. With a glut of bigs - Vonleh would be in my package to Denver. At 6'5" 220 -- maybe moving him from PG to a SG/SF would revive his game.
I don't see any reason to bring in older guys like Chandler and Dudley; they have value only to teams needing one more piece to make them championship contenders. On our team they would just take playing time away from young guys who need it.
Not one of those guys is worth 5m + tax, and more importantly, not one of those guys upgrade our rotation. Btw the names were Vince carter Matt Barnes Anthony morrow Gerald green
Just read Joel Freeland is in talks with several teams to make his NBA comeback....always liked Joel Chris Haynes ✔ @ChrisBHaynes Sources: After two years in Euroleague, former Portland big-man Joel Freeland has engaged in talks with teams to pursue an NBA comeback. 7:36 AM - 3 Jul 2017
He'd make a good backup in Miami or the Knicks or Raptors...he lives in Spain offseason so any east coast team would be a short flight home
Well, I know how. He's already said he'd be open to playing on a minimal ring-chasing contract with Golden State.
