    I looked at making a Minny deal work, it's impossible. Also they only have seconds anyways, so a lot of it will depend on how much you like Leonard Miller.

    I was contesting the idea that Trader Bob couldn't operate in today's league. The luxury tax may have hampered some of his deals (like the one for Kemp, but that would have been a good thing).

    trading Brogdon or Grant would be "mortgaging the future"?

    Anderson, Brown and Miller would be a trade match for brogdon, barely. By 20k dollars.

    Minnesota is an example of a team that doesn’t have any draft choices left because Danny took them all.

    The Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks are three teams that are basically out of draft choices so you can eliminate them unless you want to get some young person on their team, or maybe they have a couple of pics swaps left. If they don’t win in the next couple of years, and their players leave from retirement, or whatever, the teams holding their draft choices, are going to be in a great position. Maybe a team like the Lakers can always attract big-name, free agents, but those teams that I just mentioned won’t be able to.

    I still think New Orleans and Brooklyn should consider Malcolm because he is a better PG than who they have starting. Well maybe. not the Nets if they consider Simmons their PG

    Somehow Miles Bridge scored 41 point last night but failed to grab a single rebound. At the PF position!

    His method wouldn’t work, but his mindset would still work.

    He was aggressive, he made a lot of moves, and some worked out and some didn't.

    Even going back to his Sonic days, he traded Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice. But he laid the foundation for the great sonic teams of the 90s by drafting Payton and Kemp.

    For some reason, he seemed to be the best GM and getting free agents to sign. Rod Strickland and Brian Grant were two of our best FA signings.

    I wonder if the 76ers would have interest in Ant?

    Even if they did, what could they offer?

    I would take the Jail Blazers if it got us back to the WCF.

    The jailblazer thing was overblown. People loved them until they started losing and sorta quit on the coach.

    You're right. I was using ESPN but i see it works on Fanspo. I would take Alexander-Walker instead of Brown. I just like the way he plays defense. He shut down Jamal Murray in the playoffs last year. If we trade Thybulle some time, he could take over his role. He is a year older than Brown but still only 25, I think he would be as good as a late first so this would be a good deal for both teams. And this deal even saves the Blazers 6.7 million.

    Yeah, I only put Brown in because he plays less than NAW
