    Deal coming soon? Moe, Ezeli, and draft picks for Whiteside?

    I like where your head is at but that is not enough. For them or us. They would want more and we need to s be more salary out.
    Moe, Ezeli, plums and picks.
    That might get it done

    Can league business happen on a Sunday? And tomorrow is a holiday. Are they gonna make us wait until Tuesday? I mean for a trade to officially go through.

    Would take a huge deal to get Whiteside. Don't think it's happening

    My understanding is league business can be conducted on a Sunday. Not sure about the holiday but I don't remember that delaying any transaction before.

    Nothing is done for the reason you need trade partner to trade and I don't think Neil has one. I am not saying he not trying but another GM might not think any our players our attractive with there salaries are and how there playing outside of Dame and CJ.

    Moe and Plumlee have played well. Plus we have picks that a team like Brooklyn needs

    I expect Neil to wait until the last possible moment to make a move....it's how he does things

    Olshey does not have to make a trade before the deadline. He is under this seasons LT threshold.

    Next season is when Olshey will need to make some moves, or, he will put a dent in PA’s wallet.

    Should Olshey make a trade before the deadline?
    Only if it improves the team long term, and he stays under the LT threshold for this season.

    Unless we are ready to overpay plumlee we need to either go get his replacement now or trade him and get something in return. It's not a melo/Denver situation but you should still get something... don't forget we traded a first round pick for him

    They did trade a 1st round but they also traded Steve Blake...so that kind of negates things. :)

    Well I know Neil not happy with what he see. He was mad last game and he left in the 4th QT not to long ago in game. He also follow the team to the locker room for some reason after a game.

    That's pretty much losing another first round pick for nothing........that would be two first round picks he's traded that gave ya nothing in the long run.
    I'm talk By about that horrific afflalo trade

    Exactly, and it's not like Whiteside is asking out of Miami. Riley has all the leverage here.

    I'd be just as happy getting Noel.

    And package up Leonard too. He should definitely be gone from this team.

    I know we all talk about Noel, but everything about Olsheys history leads me to believe someone like Vucevic is much higher on his wish list.
