    Curry and Stauskas will get minutes. Baldwin will get some. The other guys are rookies and will likely have to wait. If there’s a deal for ET that improves the team, great, but I’m not a fan of just dumping guys to clear PT for rookies. We need scoring from our frontline guys and that isn’t TT’s forte.

    A good move would be to pick up Kelly Olynyk.....fills a need we have..he can shoot and defend

    broken record.…..do us a favor....just don't engage me in the forum period...I've asked you before..and stop talking about me.....talk about basketball...you keep repeating things that won't end well for some reason....I'm seriously just not interested....follow your own nevermind bones and move on...I had a heart attack last sunday and you didn't even bother to post in my thread....speaks volumes....I know one thing...life is really short and respect takes practice....so far..you've shown me little...some of you guys are really sucking the fun out of this place and it's not adding anything to the forum...as soon as you're off the staff title because you play hoops...I'll just ignore you and we'll be done...after my heart attack I took everyone off ignore and now I'm finding that is a big mistake....have a good life kid...stay out of mine please

    Lets keep it civil.

    I don't care who started it, who said what and what was worse.

    Just keep it civil.

    Does he go on the OT forum? I don't follow OT very closely. I wouldn't hold that against him without knowing.

    Nor is scoring ET's forte, or Zach Collins. I mean, would you rather share minutes with Curry and Baldwin playing as much as they can behind CJ and Dame and a little Trent and a little less Stauskas and the occasional Simons, while the front court is Nurk and Zach Collins, Chief and Moe and TT....OR watch ET play a lot at the expense of Baldwin and Curry AND watch freaking Swanigan and Meyers?!! Because that's what we have now. Be honest; you can't want that.

    I was literally just asked for a quote you were referencing. I didn't even read your thread dude. I'm sorry that happened.

    I know we don't agree about much, but you are absolutely right about life being too short. When participating here becomes hard work rather than fun - something has gone off the rails. Take care of your health and do what you need to do to reduce the stress.

    What I want is an upgrade at PF or SF. I want a player at one of those spots who can get his own shot and take pressure off the guards. I want a balanced starting unit that nobody dares to run double teams with a big against Dame and CJ because that would only result in having Nurk, Zach or the new guy killing you with an open shot. I most decidedly do not want an offense based on multiple guard chuckers who can shoot you out of a game as easily as they can win one. I want the Warriors, damn it!

    Haha. Yeah, I'm with you. One more threat to keep teams from flooding our guards... When I clear my mind I just see Tobias Harris every time. He would help.

    So do 29 other teams.

    I see us as one player away. The one you describe. Butler wants out and could be it if we could keep our core.

    Harkless/Aminu/picks for butler?

    He makes the most sense. Problem is, LAC probably doesn't want to take on long term salary, so it's probably have to be a 3 team trade. Chicago might want to clear cap space to offer Jabari a bigger offer sheet, so maybe something like this would work?

    CHI Gets: Meyers Leonard
    LAC Gets: Robin Lopez, Caleb Swanigan, 2019 POR 1st
    POR Gets: Tobias Harris
