    That deal would definitely move the needle...the wrong direction.

    After watching Budinger play, I'm sure glad we didn't trade anybody for him

    I do think TRob, Will, DWright and Claver would benefit playing on a lottery team as far as playing time.

    Ya well trading for Gerald Henderson wouldn't include trading Batum or Mathews but maybe Robinson.

    I was talking about the original post, not your trade. I don't really see Henderson as being the right trade target though

    Honestly, the trade that moves the needle would be Batum, Leonard and T. Rob for LBJ. :)

    You get that one done and you're GM of the year.

    The point is, Jordan would laugh at that offer.

    Take Dildo Baggins out and he would consider it

    Charlotte willing to trade doesn't mean Charlotte is looking to get bent over a barrel.

    Have you paid much attention to Michael Jordan's moves over the years? It screams tie me up and bend me over a barrel

    A trade for Kobe would move HCP's needle.

    You want to move the needle, I don't use trade machine but if you could turn any combo of Meyers, TRob, Freeland, Claver, Wright or Will for Vucevic in Orlando, you'd move the needle.

    MKG would be awesome.

    His offensive game is as bad as I've seen but his defense has all-defensive team potential. Think of him (or I should say - ceiling) as a 6'7" 235 lb. Tony Allen.

    No to Carmelo. We are already a contender.

    No way. Great teams don't try to make themselves better. Stay the course, bake the cake. No reason to try and improve. In fact, let's give up our draft picks for the next several years because we are already contenders and shouldn't try to get better.

    Truthfully I don't know how any team can be considered a "Contender" until they reach the WCF. We are not even half way though the season.
