    AD hmmm, at this point I’d be ecstatic if any of the following happened...

    ET dumped somehow

    Nards or Hark dumped somehow

    Any degree of upgrade at the 4

    Some sort of compensation for Chief if the plan is to let him walk

    If Neil pulls off any of those I’ll lay off him till next deadline. He wore me down and he won, my expectations are right where he wants them.

    So would we have the best offense in the league and nothing worse than the 23rd worst defense?

    So your solution is not being able to guard anybody?

    Im talking about cheaper in terms of what its take to get him.

    Theres many instances where players deal with an injury bug early in their career then overcome it. But that's the risk to acquire a guy getting 25/8/5 at PF.

    Sounds like you arent a fan of any risk in an upgrade though.

    You value that over a championship? Honest question.

    Can you please stop telling me what I think because I don't want to trade Nurk or trade for Griffin?

    Even if we got EITHER of them a championship ain't coming our way. Not if we trade Nurk or anything for Griffin.

    Not telling you what you think. I said "(It) sounds like"... dont avoid context for a reason to get emotional.

    The gap between Mirotic’ and Moe/Aminus defense isn’t as wide as the gap between their offense. Just look at the playoffs last year as an example. Mirotic was awesome on both ends. He averaged over 2 blocks and nearly 2 steals a game. He’s underrated defensively.

    If we added Griffin to this lineup and then KD and Boogoe left in free agency, and have a legitimate chance at winning a championship.

    So blocks and steals automatically equals good defense?

    And for a team like Utah, Mirotic would be a big upgrade over Aminu. For a team who has a terrible backcourt defensively, replacing two good defending forwards with two bad ones would be terrible.

    Not sure why "it sounds like" that to you when I've only poo pooed trading Nurk and trading for Griffin.

    Oh and if you say ANYTHING about George Hill again.... :tongue:l

    Another trade of interest to me:

    CJ and Collins to NY Knicks

    Knox, Kantor and unprotected #1 (we help them make room for KD and add CJ and young prospect in Collins

    We pick up a young SF, back up big that’s expiring and a chance at picking Zion!

    We won’t make a deep run this year, but it’s a decent reload for next year

    There's going to be twenty pages of arguing to wade through in this topic after I wake up, isn't there?

    In my proposals, George Hill was only used as an expiring contract and/or half-season stopgap to replace players leaving.

    I don't see Mirotic play that much but from what I have seen, he plays solid team and off ball D. Numbers aside, he looked great on D vs us.
