    Can you sign and trade Mo Williams? I thought that only works for Bird Right players?

    Ok. I think Blake is a good fit in stotts system and he loves Portland. Either way, take him out and put in someone else if you please.

    Guys like sessions would fit terribly in stotts system. Nelson maybe, but i bet he gets offered 3-4 million which is more than we can offer if we got Frye.

    I guess you could go Kaman or oneal with the bae and nelson with part if the mle

    I would be ok with giving Hawes more than the MLE by sign and trade. Leonard and Wright to Cleveland. We could also send Wright to a third team along with cash.

    Philly would probably be interested with both those players because they need a vet wing, plus they can wait for Leonard to develop (rebuilding mode). And doing that deal would still leave us the flexibility to use the MLE on another player.

    Sounds like Cleveland is talking to Frye as a backup plan. They might not want to play ball in a sign and trade.

    Well Cleveland won't need Wright. They could wait on Leonard though, since they are about 3-4 years away from contention with the development of wiggins.

    I seem to remember him playing in Philly, when I was actually paying attention to them last season. The trade must have been "mid-season", so bynum was out of the picture.

    No. CLE traded him to CHI for Deng. CHI then waived Bynum and he went to Indy

    Free agent Spencer Hawes met w/ Warriors' GM Bob Myers in LA, who has trade exception to use; meeting with Doc Rivers shortly, sources say.
