No way Angie and KP do that trade then. That would really low ball offer. You have to give something good with value to get something better for your team.
Why do we even want to give anything up for Young? Except for last year Young has never been known to be anything more then an average defensive player and offensively he is an okay but not great player. Id rather have Harkless then Young.
We paying over 14 million dollars for his contract. I think we got some PF can do the same thing he does for less money.
Wade has already said he's staying with Chicago for 24 million reasons. He has three rings. He doesn't need to go ringchasing at a discount. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/r...-opt-in-to-final-year-of-contract-with-bulls/ I like your standings predictions. Only thing I'd change is the Bucks. They'll be a top 3 team in East.
You haven't heard the rumors of him getting bought out? He opted in to get bought out. Bucks won't be top 3 if Toronto gets D.J. and Washington gets Blake.
Young is a good defensive player and averaged 11ppg last year on 53% FGs and 38% 3pt. He's extremely underrated.
He was an okay defensive player last year, never was a good defensive player in Philly, Minny, or Brooklyn. He shot 38% from 3 last year but that was his career high by a HUGE amount and a player who has been in the league 10 years and has been shooting about the same amount of 3's that entire time just suddenly shooting that much better doesn't have me convinced he will sustain that, I think he will dip back down to his career average of just under 33% next year. Young also shot much better from 2 then he normally does as well. Harkless shot 57% from 2 last year and 56% from 2 the year before that, higher then Young has ever shot, and if Harkless can continue working on improving his 3 shot he will only get better offensively. I would rather keep Harkless and give him whatever minutes we would give to Young.
The idea that Thad Young brings us closer to championship, or is worth any remotely valuable package, is bonkers.
My Prediction: The team will for the most part be exactly the same and your house will have several more holes in the walls as a result.
Gotta give you credit for working your imagination so hard! I just started looking at them. Seems as if Clippers would be very fortunate to even get Jordan and Griffin to agree to S&T (or is Jordan just a straight trade?) much less get that much of a haul. I have a different opinion of Anthony's value. Would be surprised if Knicks got any one of Ariza, Gordon or a first round pick. Maybe Ariza but I think he is a better all around player than Anthony., and younger and more reasonable salary.
Sorry I don't have the energy to make my own predictions; I know it's not fair to criticize and then come up with no ideas of my own.
