    Only thing I could think of that works capwise and possibly both teams interested in: Smart, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Morris and Baynes (have to wait until Dec. 15) for Turner and Zach Collins.

    After the injury, he was in his 30s, and still a really good player.

    Really? Thanks Denny.

    Because I must have been under a rock during those times and absent from watching any NBA.

    Your insight is first rate. :D

    Well, some of the decline of his play can be attributed to age, right?

    That's the insight, and nobody's mentioned it until I did.

    No. In your 40s, there's a significant aging factor. In your early 30s, you're still basically in your physical prime. Skills should increase enough to offset what little physical loss there is.

    The early 30s aging slow-down is due to wear and tear, not calendar years. Grant Hill had very little of that, having been sidelined for so long.

    Hill was 34 by the time he could put together consecutive seasons of 60+ games. 34 and several years of intensive rehab or just sitting on his ass because he couldn't.

    Well I admit I thought his vertical was more than 34.5 at the combine. (Which was still above average for his class) But none the less it's not like he shoots sets shots or relies on the 3 ball. (he makes about 1.3 per game) He is deceivingly athletic. Isn't that part of what made him good?

    Bobby Portis has been suspended for 8 games by the NBA for his altercation with teammate Nikola Mirotic.

    Hmm 8 games is a lot. Is it because he actually connected that the suspension is so high? If it is I am not sure if I like that being part of the the criteria. If you swing you swing. It should all be the same. Can't penalize a guy for knowing how to fight. Although i still want to know why Mirotic charged him twice. That should be a factor as well.
