    With an ending contract which gives them a legit center for this year and then they can address a new center next season or sign him to what is expected to be much less money. I'm not saying this is what will happen at all....just a text I got from someone who hears a lot of stuff. From that he was extrapolating.

    We don't need scoring, we need defense. I don't want Morris here at all.

    Neil has already made his deadline deal.

    It would be fun if another traded happened, but not likely.
    Especially since the Kings owner will only allow Divac to get taken by Neil once per year or so,
    and it's already happened.. :)

    Did you think the comment I responded to was serious also?
    Or did you not register that particular color of green?

    I used to like that idea; but having been reading a lot that De Rozan defense is terrible.

    I know I'm on an island here but I still think it makes sense to trade Whiteside and Hezonja for Batum and assets.

    Like possibly a 1st round pick swap (top-5 protected) that goes to next year if not conveyed and a 2nd round pick via Cleveland (currently 33). Hornets are currently 6th and Blazers are 14th.

    Then use the TPE and a 2nd or two to get Baynes from Phoenix.

    Edited to add Hezonja.

    If Harkless is traded to the Knicks then we can reacquire him again.

    Let's trade for Kanter and sign Harkless and Turner after they are bought out. Get most of the band back together, lol.

    Neil will not make any moves... he is content because the 4 game win streak lifted most of the pressure and people are still buying tickets

    Batum is awful and his fit on the team has nothing to do with why I want to do this trade.

    This suggestion and your last one both can't happen. This one because Whiteside can't be traded back to Miami and Leonard can't be traded back to Portland. Miami also can't trade their 1st this year. For the other trade executives/coaches can't be traded with players.

    They aren't willing to throw in Robinson for Russell but they'll do it for Whiteside?

    I imagine for D-Lo it’s more than just Robinson.

    I bet the offer is 1st rounder, Morris, Knox, and DSJ/Ntilikina. That’s a pretty big package already.
