    It would definitely beat the offer Lakers gave them.

    I honestly don’t think CJ would be available though, with AD expiring next year and all.

    You and Neil. If we got AD, we would either extend him this off season or trade him next year at this time. I think with Dame and AD, we would have a title contender and make it pretty far in the playoffs this season and next. AD said he just wants to win and that's exactly what we would do.

    It would give us a chance, yes. It is a risk though because if we don’t win and he leaves then we are left in a worse position. I don’t think we want to take any risks.

    I would go into the differences between players like Barnes, Kuzma, Harris, Green versus Aminu....but then we all know what they are.

    Stotts mainly plays Aminu at the four for spacing reasons. Ball handling has little to do with it. Look at Moe. How often does he handle the ball? If you add a true stretch four like Mirotic, Aminu can switch back to the three no problem. Stotts has been looking for a stretch four for years. Please give him one.

    My prediction is if any role player is out of the rotation on Tuesday game against Miami there will be major trade happens. But I am feeling is that Olshey will stand fast or it be something minor.

    I think Mirotic will be on his way to Utah. They have liked him for a while, have struggled a little against solid teams recently and will want to improve. They have some expirings to send back and will happily part with their pick.

    I reckon we will try to move for 2-3 different small forwards but will fail to get any of them.

    I think that depends on if they get Conley or not. If they do they probably wouldn't have enough to get Mirotic too.

    Well I think we have the pieces to get Conley too, it just doesn't make sense for us to use those pieces to get a point guard.

    See that’s the thing right there. We also have the pieces to get in on AD. But what we seemingly don’t have is a GM with some balls.

    I think the Anthony Davis stuff is totally based on whether or not the Pelicans like CJ. If they don't there is no way we have the right pieces.

    Any chance we could convince Toronto to let go of Pascal Siakam?

    He is a rising star!

    You could say that about any player or trade.

    Another player not developed while Dame isn't getting any younger. Great idea. I'm sure this is what LeBron wants too.

    Uhhhh, "not developed"... WTF!? Do you even watch the games? Siakam is a stud! That said, I doubt Toronto is interested in moving him.

    Oh, and nice snark, BTW... but, next time, however, you might wanna reserve it for an instance in which it DOESN'T make you(r opinion) look like a real dumbass.
