    Looking at numbers there aren't a lot to choose from - Jared Dudley fits those qualities to a T.

    He's a career 40% from three and a smart defender, a better version of Ime Udoka. Can play both SG/SF, he makes a ton of sense.

    Jared Dudley would be a great fit, depending upon the cost... I'd love to see him in Portland!

    Sounds like Allen Crabbe, no?

    I think Neil is blowing smoke here.

    I think you guys are thinking about the Jared Dudley who killed us in the playoffs when he played for Phoenix.
    That is not the Jared Dudley we would get. I have not seen that player for a while.

    Dudley would be great but Milwaukee seems to be playoff bound and looking at their roster it is very balanced; I can't see them as a trading partner.

    James Johnson (TOR)?
    Mike Muscala (ATL)?

    Johnson would be interesting, but he's an awful shooter. And TOR is fucking around with his spot in the rotation. But he's tough and plays great D. All that said, I think I'd take the Wright/Claver combo over him.

    Gary Neal? Expiring deal, championship level experience. Charlotte going nowhere, his name was mentioned in Charlotte-Brooklyn talks, can move in as 3rd team. Shot off this year but career good shooter, decent defender, willing passer. Fits most the description

    As long as it's a vet with playoff experience and wing that can get to the line, I will be a happy fan. I don't want a young player that sits on the bench as some insurance policy. That's stupid!

    Think how we get him without giving up any key pieces. Robinson, Wright & Barton? My guess is Denver would only do it if they want to blow things up and then they'd be looking for a draft pick as well.

    I think they wouldn't be interested with T.Rob because they have Hickson and Manimal

    Probably only if they're interested in cutting salary for a rebuild. Afflalo has one more year on his contract. TRob, Wright & Barton are all expiring contracts, but I'd think that they'd still want our 1st rounder in order to be interested.

    I still believe that Denver wouldn't want to take back T. Rob. They already have 2 power forwards. And if it's a "salary dump", then they could easily find a team that has expiring and a higher first rounder option.

    I think Denver would want young players that are on contract. CJ, Crabbe, Freeland, and Barton would be the players I suspect them to be interested in.
