    The latest offer could include Wiggins, power forward Anthony Bennett and a first-round pick. Center Brendan Haywood might be included in the deal to make it work contractually.

    I knew Cleveland would cave. It just makes too much sense to trade young players to put a vet all star big man with Lebron.

    Now . . . . would you offer LA for this? :devilwink:

    Maybe last year, yes. But not now.

    I'm a huge LA fan . . . but that is an attractive offer from Cleveland. Like you said, the Wolves would be a team to watch.

    Ugh...Bennett and Haywood? No. Give me Thompson and Varejao, and I'd do it. I'd even include Matthews for that.

    What an emo pussy. He should have been thrilled to have had the opportunity to be on a championship caliber team.

    I wonder if they plan on starting him over Randle.

    I would do it. I would definitely do it, and then try to turn around and do a sign-and-trade for Monroe.

    Giving up the players you just acquired?

    Monroe puts up nice numbers... and Detroit still manages to suck. A bit of a red flag, I'd've said.

    Who would you start in place of Aldridge? TRob? Bennett?

    I think Kidd wanted out of NJ because he didn't want the expectations involved with that job. No pressure in Milwaukee. They always suck anyway.

    I thought Scalabrine was an assistant coach?

    Trying to run the Greek Freak at the point is a blunder of Qyntel Woods proportions.
