    I wonder what the market for Khris Middleton is. He looks like a star for the Bucks. A wing with good size who can score in many ways and who leads the league for DRPM at SG. But next year Jabari Parker will be back sucking up all the shots, so maybe Middleton would be ready to jump ship?

    Probably not as high as it should be. He gets overlooked because of the Greek freak (who is kind of been underwhelming this post season besides game 3).

    8 Mil a year is my guess. So very good value there if that is the case. Problem is we can't get him as even if we renounce a couple guys we don't have Cap space above MLE to work with.

    Lin would be a great upgrade at backup PG.

    Yes on Hibbert.

    Lin and CJ are too similar, I like Lin and liked the idea of bringing him in but we need more of a shooter/distributior as our backup PG. Basically a younger Blake.

    sign danny green, trade affalo, wright, kaman and future cash and draft picks for jimmy butler and demarcus cousin. sign lin and release blake
    pg-damian, cj, lin
    sg-butler, wesley
    sf-batum, green
    pf-LA, meyers, freeland
    c-counsin, lopez

    that is one good team. we could even challenge 72-10 record. i think that is trade is a possibility. if not counsin then i won't mind hibbert. you guy are forgetting that our owner is one of the richest man in the world.

    Projected Record Note:
    Projected records are based on the PER of the players in each team’s post-trade rotation. Taking into account the players traded and the ability of their replacements, it is possible for each team in a trade to have a better projected record, or for each team to have a worse one, or for one team to be better and another to be worse by a different number of games.

    the trade could be something like this

    We all know who should replace Blake:



    Now we just have to get his rights back off Dallas.

    Delly is pretty much a younger Blake.

    rolo needs to be a back up, so gasol, hibbert, hassan whiteside, or even asik would be great

    Patrick Beverly would be a good start at PG, Demare Carroll would fill a huge hole at SF or could replace Batum should we trade him, Marc Gasol is obvious as is Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler but non of them will leave.

    Cory Brewer would be a good add the Rockets are hard to gauge so he might return and might not.

    A healthy Matthews, Beverly, Carroll/Green/Brewer, resign LA, Chandler and the Blazers had a fantastic summer. We will see what happens though.
