    Arguable but not founded. Neil "Contingency Plans" Olshey always has a plan B, C. People may not like the results but his targets are always well researched.

    Whiteside is a controllable headcase. He'd be terrible to build around, he wouldn't be controlled. It'd be worse than Sac and Boogie.

    We don't really have anything they will want. They have enough role players as it is.

    Monroe trade is real though.

    Olshey likes him
    Bucks want to trade him
    His minutes went from ~30 per game down to ~10.

    Chance it's not us, but I'd say it definitely seems like the Bucks found someone to trade for Monroe.

    yup. im over crabbe and leonard. sure, i hope they shut me up. but if they were traded im perfectly fine with it. if we did get a dominant center id still hope we could keep plumlee for the bench as his assists and handles would be sorely missed in certain situations. i think people sleep on just how much he helps dame and CJ. he does a lot of distributing from the top of the key. too bad he doesnt have a jumper or i think he would be an offensive juggernaut without people being able to sag off.

    If we got a good C who could contribute on both ends of the floor I think Plumlee could be good at PF. That's the thing with all of our bigs - none of them are good enough to play alongside each other, but all/most could be fine next to a good, two-way player.

    Wait, what? You don't think Allen Crabbe would be an upgrade over Dion Waiters?

    Oh wait, never mind. Waiters sucks, but he's having a better season than Crabbe at less than 1/6th the cost.

    Problem with that is Neil willing to give him up to get the guy he wants.

    I think Plumlee's shot can improve if he keeps practicing. I don't think he's hit his ceiling.

    Realistically bad. I get that it was about all he could do at some points but the better thing to do was to spend time, effort and money elsewhere. Thank goodness some of those offers were matched or they chose elsewhere. Too bad no one could match with Crabbe/Turner. In fact, Turner was shocked with the offer he got. Didn't think he'd get near that kind of cash.

    You would have to include those last two. My list removes them and adds Hedo. I prefer to think that anyone who turns us down is cursed and doomed to fail.

    In past years, the guys we landed played well and earned their money (Brian Grant, Andre Miller and even Aminu and Davis last year), but now the curse seems to be spreading to guys who actually choose us.

    I think somebody needs to sacrifice a chicken, or something.
