    I hate to type this, but.....
    Biebs is a legit NBA player, and a pretty good one when he has his confidence. He didn't have it last year, but that won't mean he won't have it this year.

    Until he either plays better (and is given the PT to show that) or some time passes, his trade value is low. Next offseason, when he has only 2 years left on his contract, he'll be much more tradeable.

    That being said, if Neil can get something in return for him, I'm all for it.

    Don't hold your breath. Look what it took for Toronto to offload Damare Carroll. Crabbe, Turner and Meyers are ours until they are in their final year.

    Well I guess if Neil wants to toss in a couple of first round picks I'm sure he could find a taker for Turner. Crabbe might require 3 firsts, and MyLe would probably require us to surrender every first round pick for the next decade to get it done, but never say never :wink:

    Quick: What's your favorite color between blue and red, Meyers?

    Meyers: Well.... you see, I really think it would have to be purple because, well..... you know, purple is really a mix of so many things and.... you can't go wrong with like.... having a diverse perspective on life when it comes to basketball which reminds me so much of the color purple and for those reasons I stated I'd have to go with magenta.

    Quick: Right. Ima put you down for blue.

    A team of RC2 posters could make the playoffs in the east.

    I'm pretty sure Meyers can get pushed in the post by Isaiah Thomas and will still find a way to defend himself. The guy is ready for a long career in politics.

    They let Olynyk wallk to clear cap space to sign Hayward. I don't think they would be interested in a weak imitation that costs them $10 million a year.

    In other words, not THAT desperately.

    About the only thing Butters has in common with Olynyk is skin tone. Kelly does things on the court that Meyers can only do in his wettest of dreams.

    Thats a nice pickup. Baynes is decently skilled and he's a throwback player. He thrives off banging with people. He would have been great on the bad boy Pistons teams.

    As opposed to the current just plain bad Pistons team.
