    I like MCW because his style of play compliments Dame and CJ I think, he's a PG who mostly runs the offense and in a very casual mode, he is an all-around talent who plays a very intuitive type of basketball. When he was in his rookie season the sixers had an amazing difference in wins when he played and didn't play. I think he makes the players around him better if he's somewhat of narcisist. I think a 3-player backcourt with MCW, Dame and CJ each playing maybe 30 mpg could make for a very talented and effective lineup, I think it at least solves us the guard positions

    Dame and CJ take the bulk of our shots. MCW sucks at shooting. We have very little other shooting... Ergo, he would suck on this team.

    I'm sorry, you got to keep CJ over Allen Crabbe in that situation. I do however, think that's an intriguing trade. I see your logic.

    But the bottom line is this:

    He's a prissy little bitch, & I don't like his fuckin' attitude about coming to my town.

    So fuck him!

    I would even let the cake bake, I think we're good enough as is, but if we're not looking to add talent at least play to win now

    ummm.... That didn't explain anything as to why it would be a HORRIBLE idea to bring in a guard that can't shoot into a system made for shooters, TWO of which play his position.

    You know how we laugh at Rubio because he sucks at shooting and defenses can sag off him? It'd be heaven for teams when MCW would come in against them... now they can have FIVE people to not have to guard closely.

    I agree with this. I say give Tim Frazier minutes, he isn't aas flamboyant as MCW but just as good at running the offense, probably a better shooter also. But Frazier doesn't even get a chance so I think maybe if we bring someone on a big contract former ROY he would at least get minutes

    Both MCW and CJ will probably want close to max contracts in a couple years.

    Being a ROY in the one of the worst draft classes ever.... no, he sucks.

    Why bring in another person who doesn't solve the problem? My body is super sensitive to caffienne, so should I just buy more Dr. Pepper? It doesn't make sense.

    He's probably not wrong. If CJ keeps up his production, I could see him wanting max money. If Wes can get max money, I think CJ can get max money.

    MCW will probably WANT the max, but if he's not even starting for the Bucks, I don't think he'll get the max.

    BS. MCW could be a great player for us. What would be even better is using Frazier and Alexander somehow because the trade I suggested is actualy not lopsided

    MCW would be a great player for us THIS year because he sucks and would help us suck more. So yes, I suppose you're right.

    So, can we trade CJ before he becomes Jamal Crawford, or is it too late?

    How is it not lopsided? You're offering

    1 NBDL scrub
    1 guy who was traded for a second rounder
    1 guy who went undrafted

    Dude, the guy loves Tim Fraizer. He was an NBDL MVP! He has to be good! :MARIS61:

    We just don't know basketball.

    I'm not really a huge fan of MCW, but the guy is worth a lot more than those three.

    I'm still not sure why they gave up on Brandon Knight.
