    I know he is another small guard... But Darren Collison would be a good guard to bring off the bench for a change of pace.

    Whiteside doesn't make teams better.

    If we traded CJ for a star bigman (Cousins?) Then I wouldn't mind signing Derozen as our starting 3 and starting Crabbe at the 2.

    Not saying they would, but Love doesn't have to value he had 2 years ago.

    Nope, but I'm pretty sure Dan Gilbert still has the same ego he had 2 years ago. I don't see him being willing to swallow so much pride as to be willing to sell that low on his Kevin Love investment.

    Blazers should try and get dennis schroder. Would be perfect as the backup point. Could play with both Lillard and McCollum. I don't know what it'd take but I'd trade a future first for him. I've loved his game ever since I saw him at the hoop summit.

    And count me in as the guy that still wants Ben McLemore. He just needs a change of scenery. Probably won't cost much either. Once Henderson is traded some minutes will open up. Let McLemore and Harkless battle it out.

    Picked him up a few weeks back on my deep fantasy league. Feel like he's another Reggie Jackson in OKC situation-- dude is a lower tier starter PG in the league, but starter nonetheless

    Allen Crabbe is better than McLemore. And Ben was picked 24 picks ahead of AC.

    Well, if ATL is looking to move Teague, they must think he's their PGOTF.

    From what I've heard, Dennis Schroder wants starters minutes ... which we can't offer in #RipCity.

    All I know is Teague has been a pain in the ass for the Blazers. I hope he stays in the east.

    Feel like UTA will make a run at him, and I think they have the assets to get him. ugh in our division.

    They have Burke and Exum. Who are they not happy with? Exum has been injured but they were high on him.

    Burke hasn't even been starting for them.

    They're starting Raul Neto. Burke looks like a backup. Exum is the question mark, but if they want to make the playoffs this year, they need a PG. They're talking about it in SLC as well, according to Zach Lowe

    I think we need to try to get Smart from Boston. Hes a big guard that can lockdown either gaurd position defensively while providing an extra ball handler, and would be a perfect fit with Dame, CJ, and Crabbe. Itd also be great to acquire one of their 3 first round picks this year (obviously wont get the Brooklyn one)

    How could we do this? By absorbing salary/sending out Meyers+Filler in a 3 team trade that nets the Celtics a star. Something like this:
    Screenshot_2016-01-28-02-31-10.png
    We get a 2016 First from Boston, while Brooklyn gets a one or two BOS Firsts (possibly future 1sts) along with 2nds.

    We get Smart, and another 1st for the rebuild, while not downgrading in the present (David Lee replaces Meyers) or sacrificing flexibility (We could buyout Jerebko this year)

    Brooklyn clears up to $30M in cap space for next year while obtaining young assets as well as draft picks which they desperately need.

    Boston upgrades their frontcourt tremendously without downgrading much at all (Smart is the only downgrade, but theyre loaded with guards).

    You have Boston giving up a ton (3 picks and two young cheap prospects) for an injury prone center. Doesn't seem like an Ainge deal to me.
