    Yes, their ideas are usually like that.

    We should offer them Barton and Leonard for Harden. See what they say about that.

    The question is Lopz\Aldridge combo better then Aldridge\Asik combo?

    Still not sold on Robin Lopez being better than Asik. Its a major stretch.

    Give me LMA/Asik.

    They'll never be a LMA/Asik since Houston will only take LMA. It's really that simple.

    Their fans are so delusional.

    These are some examples from clutchfans:

    * Asik/fodder for Love
    * Howard + DMo for Love and Pek
    * Asik for Harrison Barnes
    * Asik for LMA
    * Asik for Horford
    * Asik for Taj + CHA pick

    Out of their freaking minds

    Asik for Barnes could happen, but I doubt it. I don't think GSW needs a center right now. The rest of the trades are a joke.

    Put Asik in our center rotation, and we suddenly become one of the hardest teams to score in the paint against. Can we work a three way with MIL?

    We have like nothing they want.

    Obviously. Most I'd be willing to give are either CJ or Wes, and to make salary work, I'd give up Wes.

    Wes + Leonard for Asik is great value for us I think and would put us in great position for some playoff success. If these last 9 games have shown us anything, it's that our interior D is our biggest weakness, and this would solve that in a hurry.

    Wes + Meyers to MIL (Matthews' home state)
    Illyasova to HOU
    Asik to POR

    Then start Mo/DWright at SG until CJ is set to come back.

    They want LMA. They rank asik high as hell, so they think they can get LMA. It's not happening with Portland.

    I agree -- CJ is the SGOTF.

    I could see that deal going down, only with NY in our place sending Iman Shumpert to MIL.

    Not a bad idea either, but I don't think NY will take on Asik's 8 mil salary to fill a hole at C for just ~15 games.

    Makes no sense with Bogut still in GS. You don't need 48 min of lumbering white 7 footer in today's NBA. Would rather keep rolling out Bogut/Ezeli/JO and hold on to Barnes.
