    Jones is 6'5". Little is 6'5". Giles is..clueless. I guess I did need to spell it better but 6'5" isn't long for NBA and though Giles is the right body type he has very little NBA game unless preseason and garbage time counts.

    6'9" and up with length and athleticism. And yes, that really is the problem. Stotts should be gone, but do we really win by playing Little, Giles, and/or Jones more? I totally don't get the Jones demotion after it was successful for most of the regular season, but we need bigger and better.

    Two words: Christian Wood

    Pascal's contract is too big.

    You're just saying it's too big to keep us flexible. I'm assuming because the trade works as far as the CBA is concerned. The problem I have whenever someone is telling me we should take a downgrade in talent (I don't think Christian Wood is close to Pascal Siakam) so we can keep cap flexibility is... why? What the fuck are we going to do with cap flexibility? Unless we're talking an uneven trade, then we're really just talking about saving the Paul Allen trust some money because we're not getting anyone significant to sign here as a free agent.

    Jones’ minutes went way down when we acquired Powell.

    While Powell was playing out of position the whole time.

    I don't think New Orleans would do that.

    Jaylen Brown is my vote, it will take more than CJ though and we would be taking back some shit contracts with him.

    The thing I hate about a CJ trade is that it needs to be done, but we will lose the trade because he’s going to look a lot better somewhere else as a potential primary ball handler. He’s looked great here when Dame is hurt. He’s just not a great fit as the secondary perimeter player.

    Huh, I was just saying today that I don't think Minnesota is at all interested in trading KAT, but who knows? CJ and Nurk and I think they will want Little also for KAT and Beasley or Rubio.

    I don't care if we "lose" the trade if our team gets better.

    Wood should not be available, and Pascal is making less than a half a mil more than CJ next year.

    Yeh, we could pair him with Melo; then we would have two legends!
