    I've been pretty vocal about bringing in a guy like Seraphin. He won't take a whole bunch, and has shown flashes of good ball.

    I don't think Hamilton is it.

    If somehow we could do a Leonard/Wright for Seraphin or something along those lines, I'd be happy.

    Why not Chris Wilcox or Louis Amundson?

    Marc Stein: Two more weeks to see whether Philly can get the first-round pick for either Evan Turner or Spencer Hawes that Sixers continue to ask for-- Twitter @ESPNSteinLine - To bad the Blazers don't have a first round pick.

    Usually, I'd be in favor of making a deal to try to get us to that next level. However, this year so much seems to have to do with our chemistry. I'd be scared to mess with it.

    seriously? would give that chem idea some credit if we were trading for a head case like the Bucks C, but not a guy like Hawes or several others, chemistry only goes so far, if this team is serious about playoff "contention" this bench badly needs to be bolstered

    talent>chemistry. With this core we can have both, there is no knuckleheads on the roster so shouldn't hurt anything to bring one in

    Talent + Chemistry is ideal. Talent > Chemistry hardly ever wins in the end.

    We need a bench, though, and I don't think any of the starting 5 would be crushed too much on the floor if they got a bench (Although I'm sure personally for a bit it'd hurt... they do all seem close.)

    That depends on the knucklehead. Do you have some suggestions?

    Chemistry carried us through the first two months, and is now gone. It was really just a "honeymoon" phase.

    You know the bench is really bad when the idea of getting Blakey back doesn't sound completely horrible to you...

    That's way too much, IMO. Deng is on the market, I'd try to get him before Gay... I have a feeling he'd be cheaper.

    We could go small or big very easily if we had Deng and Batum.

    Right now, I would deal Wes for Deng. If we want to go small, we play CJ at shooting guard. Deng is exactly the kind of third star you want. He's not going to bitch like Melo, he's not a superstar, but he's a legit All-Star caliber player.

    Not a bad trade. But, I value Wes a little more than value as a player for what he brings to the locker room and his tenacity.

    Matthews has better advanced stats this year as well. I wouldn't do that trade.
