    Include Matthews in the deal or use him as trade bait. If we pick up Bogut, we have to find a power forward.

    Play them together? Bledose not much of a real PG, and can cover 2s some.

    Well then too bad. Bogut is always injured and Thompson really isn't that great. His numbers are comparable to Matthews, but his PER sucks.

    would be funny if we traded for Barnes, and entered next season with the 5th, 6th and 7th and 11th picks from last year's draft.

    That's a thought that did not escape me. Would be pretty funny.

    He's a 2nd year guard that shoot lights out and has better handles than Matthews. IMHO He has the upside to be an All Star (He dropped 34/14 on the Spurs in the playoffs).

    I don't really get it. Did the suns give up anything? Is Butler's contract bad?

    That would be awesome. Thomas Robinson was my second favorite 2012 draft prospect and I was pissed when we passed on Harrison Fucking Barnes.

    Barnes actually looked very good for some stretches of the playoffs.

    Should I go pull up some of Matthews' better games? Great... he's a shooter.

    He's four years younger, which is a plus, but I'm not really sold on him being the most important piece of the Aldridge trade.

    If we do trade LaMarcus for Bogut+Barnes+picks then we could resign JJ Hickson.

    That is a good trade for the Clippers and Phoenix....Not sure where MIL really benefits (two 2nd round picks? - think they regret dealing Tobias Harris now?)

    Redick and Dudley help shore up the Clippers bench which was weak last year, and rumours are they may get Carl Landry with the MLE.....

    Phoenix gets thier starting PG in Bledsoe, will be interesting to see how he does....mystifying that they signed Dragis last year and obviously Kendall Marshall's fortunes don't look promising....

    He either doesn't care (probable) or he likes it that way (attention whore) or both. I'm pretty sick of that clown.

    Now this deserves it's own thread.

    I can't believe GS is offering Klay Thompson in a deal for LA....If he was offered, I think POR would be crazy not to pick him up...Niether Bogut or Lee do much for me....

    About the only thing going for Bogut is that he's on a 1 year deal, while Lee is signed for 3 more years.

    At the worst, we let Bogut walk at the end of next year and take the cap space. Also, Barnes could end up being better than Batum, which would make him expendable. Hell, we should probably look at dealing Nic anyway if we bring in Harrison.

    The Bucks essentially traded Tobias Harris for a future 2nd rounder.

    Ouch.
