    Seems like Morey and Olshey are negotiating through the media.

    Possibly.

    If the team can't compete they need to lose Dame for the most value back they can. So I don't think any moves need to be done for fear of Dame opinion.

    Doesn't seem like Olshey would do that.

    Agree with the other half of your statement.

    I'd guess 208. We got many months left.

    Thinking about this, if Sacramento had the best offer and Morey wanted to squeeze a tiny bit more out of them would he float this report trying to make them feel like they underbid?

    I was told by MANY how much of an upgrade Zeller is over Kanter. I was just saying it’s sad that we’ll never really know. He’ll miss half the season with injuries.

    In two seasons 95 games out of 154. An average of 1/3rd of the season missed in two seasons.

    I don’t know about brilliantly. It was a good trade IMO but they only won 1 playoff series.

    Powell does not really answer my concerns because I already had factored his scoring in. Again I am not saying don't trade for Ben, all I was saying is I don't like the starting lineups that people were throwing out there if we did happen to land him. IMO you always need 3 really good outside shooters on the floor in today's NBA. And I don't really want to rely on Nurk being one of our 3 just because he went 2-4 the last game from deep. Although the more I think about it I guess that lineup would be ok to start, but I doubt we could end games with it if we were behind. But maybe RoCo surprises me and becomes more consistent from deep. It is possible.

    RoCo had some really really good months. I think in a better offense he would be very effective.

    Ya, but Kanter helped out ALOT on the offensive end that is really being dismissed by a lot on here.

    disagree. people appreciated his offense, but his defense made him unplayable too often. Same reason why Ed Davis is/was unplayable at the end of ball games.

    You do realize that Melo was a net negative for the team, right? That means the team was worse off with him *ON THE COURT* than off.
