    It's your eyes. Stop staring at your girls tits, or at least do it on this forum like the rest of us do

    IF and possibly a big if, Granger proved he was healthy for the rest of the year (he is supposed to be back at the All-Star break) then I would consider him and move Batum to SG if we got him.

    I like Wessy as our starting SG moving forward. He's the kind of glue guy who can give you 15+ a night with terrific defense that every team needs. And besides his #s, he's probably our toughest player and I like his demeanor in the playoffs.

    The most glaring holes on this roster are at C (where all we really need is size) and a bench. We don't really need a lopsided trade to fill those holes. A strong free agency haul can put us in the upper echelon as long as we stay healthy and Dame improves.

    all said, it will be good to have some expiring contracts in the future, they will become more and more valuable

    it was certainly a nice excuse for the griz to cash in on a terrible contract - "oh we have this great talented superstar payer that our coach loves and we really want to keep*wink* but can't afford to. what will anyone give us for him?"

    Woj's article on the Grizz-Pistons-Raptors trade was a total hatchet job; seemed like he had an axe to grind with Hollinger, the Grizz's new owner, Lebron, you name it. Hard to figure out what his agenda is/was ... besides getting page hits and stirring up shit for ad revenue.

    I've read this sentence 4 times now and still don't think I understand it. Are you saying that there are contenders that have cap issues in major markets, or that there aren't contenders in major markets, or that cap issues only apply to small markets?

    Pretty sure he is saying that the majority of teams with cap issues are those in big markets, who are therefore likely to be able to afford those high salaries. Also add to that that they are contenders, so lessreason for them to dump someone because of salary.

    No problem. Nobody had commented on your post that actually had a link, and I was wondering if it was because people couldn't understand the point being made. Hell, I write bad sentences all the time.

    Or, trade LMA away for Greg Monroe and bench players who play for a bad team.

    Because that's how you build a champion! Sell your All-Star big in his prime for a younger big, with limited offensive skills, and a bunch of D-leaguers for the bench.

    :)

    yeah that would be the opposite of this thread, that goes in the "should we let another team do a lopsided trade from us?" thread
