    I trust Pat to make an open shot but that's pretty much it offensively. On a playoff team he's a fringe rotation guy imo. Shouldn't stop Neil from trying to upgrade. Plus he's also a free agent after the season.

    Me too. I think there is a decent chance that Celtics will deal for Okafor.

    Woj says a third team would need to take on Jackson. I'd love to have Jackson off the bench if he was ok with it.

    I would much rather have Bledsoe. He plays D. Jackson has always seemed like a bit of chucker to me.

    Oh yeah Bledsoe is a lot better for sure, but I was thinking of taking on Jackson while dumping Leonard or something.

    Jackson is more of a diva than bledsoe....hence why OKC got rid of him.

    New Orleans was the third team involved in today's Eric Bledsoe-to-Detroit talks, multiple sources told SI.com. After a morning of trade discussions, the proposed deal is now dead.

    Phoenix would have received Detroit's 2019 first-round pick, New Orleans' 2018 first-round pick, Alexis Ajinca and Omer Asik.

    ----------

    Would anyone be open to the idea of dumping Leonard, cap filler, and a pick for Jackson?

    I do not want Reggie Jackson and his selfish game on this team.

    We can't afford to give up a pick...ever. We can't get a top free agent, so drafting good players and other teams castoffs is all we have. At least until Lebron gets so frustrated with losing in Cleveland and decides to make the right choice and comes to Ptown.....Or not.

    It is hard to hate the Bucks (they are my favorite East team) but man, that team could be tough someday and I want to hate them soon!

    Phoenix got a first round pick without having to take back any salary and will save money with Monroes expiring contract. They did better than I thought they would.

    Question is what happens to Chandler or Monroe. Does one of them get bought out? Trade?
