I didnt vote for any option, but option #2 was my favorite too, until I put in the option #3 the only difference is that option #3 has trading for solid SF
option #3 would probably have more votes if it was there from the start (6 or 7 posters already voted) but you can change your vote, so...
My question is: Can the solid SF play defense, passes well, does not get injured often and guarantees 12-15 pts a game without fouling out. Guys like that cost too much. Yes?
I dont know how much it costs, but I guess you can do it with our assests and picks, you dont have to trade CJ for that quality SF I like the solid SF player until drafted SF becomes ready to play... our SF options literally suck I like Neil Olshey, but if he doesnt do anything about SF position, maybe even something about scoring from the bench, I want him gone... I guess that Nurk trade was a bit of luck and bit of smart business, he can draft, but Im yet to see something outside of that
Crowder has not been playing well in CLE, but was highly coveted by many in here last season. Thomas is still injured. Rose is MIA. I'd pitch CLE some sort of Turner for Crowder+filler. Sell them on Turner being a good EC player, defender, and ball-handler to play alongside LBJ - a jack-of-all-trades to help handle GSW. If needed, up the ante.
#FakeNews POR has not played the easiest schedule. That distinction belongs to DEN who has the lowest SOS by a wide margin. The Blazers have played the 8th easiest schedule to date. BNM
For the record, at this time, every team in the NW Division has played an easier than average (SOS = .500) schedule. In terms of strength of schedule, in our division, the Blazers are closer to the to the toughest schedule than the easiest - so far. Here's how the NW Division teams currently rank in SOS: UTA, 18th, .495 OKC, 21st, .489 POR, 23rd, .485 MIN, 25th, .482 DEN, 30th, .470 BNM
Dario Saric! He'll cost a lot but he won't reach his potential in Philly due to the fact that Simmons, and rightfully so, has taken his role. Saric now mostly plays off the ball, he needs the ball. He's a shot-creator.
Draft is the only way we are getting a small forward who could take us to a new level. I don't see anyone available on the market that would make a significant difference. George was that player but we didn't get him. Miles Bridges or Kevin Knox. Give them two or three years, although Bridges could be ready to contribute sooner.
He is very good and 76ers fans are not too sweet on him actually, so this could be a feasible option. He has mostly played at power forward though.
That seems to me to be a bit of an over pay (esp, if Fultz reached his full potential.) But it works for Simmons, the Celtics homer.
LeBron and Turner don't like each other. That's not happening. http://www.nbcsports.com/boston/bos...lains-why-he-pulled-lebron-aside-after-cs-win
Sorry but Cleveland has won 15 of their last 17 games. Crowder and Smith are starting and playing 25-30 mins a night doing it. Why on earth would they even in your wildest fantasies consider this? You got to at least be reasonable in your concepts.
Honestly, I haven't paid attention recently. But I do recall a few weeks back some articles about how bad they've been defensively, and then obviously missing ball-handlers in Thomas/Rose. At the time I knew it was a long-shot, but with - again, at the time - how poorly Crowder had been playing (sub-10 PER), and how it seems like they've always wanted to get rid of Smith and/or Shump (who I'd also take in place of Smith), it didn't seem entirely far-fetched. I don't think it'd be a win for either team, but more a shuffling of the deck with each team getting rid of players that they don't want, with the hopes that the other team's garbage will work better. Also, I originally thought to include Aminu with Turner, as a "defensive" enticement. But whatevs.
