Here's one most forum members will find more palatable: Meyers for Belinelli. Works and gets us under the luxury tax threshold. The question is, what else would we have to give ATL? Probably a good change of scenery for Meyers, too. At least he wouldn't have to worry about the hometown fans booing him. They have none. BNM
This would be an Olshey special. This is someone I’ve wanted to take a chance on for awhile. I know his numbers are whatever, but this would be the definition of buying low. His shooting percentages when playing 20+ minutes last season were very impressive. McLemore and Brendan Wright’s expiring for Leonard(Or Moe) and Layman works financially.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier this week that the Detroit Pistons have been one of the most aggressive teams in the trade market. So, which Pistons might be available via trade? Forward Stanley Johnson is one name that has come up in the Pistons’ conversations with other teams, per ESPN sources. Opposing teams have come away with the impression that Johnson is available for the right return. http://www.espn.com/blog/nba/post/_...teams-about-a-potential-stanley-johnson-trade
I think we stay put. And based on the realistic trade proposals I'm seeing I think it's the right move.
Pleaseeee basketball god have Detroit put Tobias Harris on the block. I bet Jackson, Johnson, and Bradley are who who they are shopping.
You really think the Grizzlies would give up the best two players (one of whom is expiring) for Meyers Leonard and that contract? Anything outside of us giving them $15M+ works financially.
The guy the Grizzlies are really going to try to deal is Parsons. You want Evans or McLemore or anyone else on that team your going to have to take on Parsons and his contract.
There really is nothing that suggests McLemore is actually a better, or more valuable player than Meyers. Leonard’s numbers show he’s a better shooter and more impactful on both ends of the court. He also plays a more premium position.
They probably have a better package to offer than Utah. Stanley Johnson would be a good starting point for Chicago.
