    I want this to happen just to watch your head explode.

    And them maybe we can trade Mason for Tyson Chandler and CJ for Lebron, and bring back Kobe from retirement.

    Wookee spontaneous combustion. hehe

    I can imagine anyone having a beef with Bogut, he's kind of a douche.

    He'd fit in well in OT given his political bent.

    Great passer, like Plums but with defence.





    I think he would bring some toughness to the team, not just with his play, but also with his leadership. He can rub people the wrong way, but he has a Dame like intensity.

    We'd have to manage him, make sure he got rest against lesser teams, but he is willing to play through injury.

    I'm all for renting him for half a season.

    Trading for Bogut would be settling in my opinion. There are other big men out there that are available that would be better for us long term. Renting does nothing for me. We are not a Bogut away from contending. Go get Nurkic or Noel!

    You would, but they wouldn't.

    PHI hasn't traded away a 1st round pick since August 2012. In that span, they've acquired seven 1st round picks via trades, as well as the right to swap several other picks (in their favor).

    No way are they going to suddenly trade away a lottery pick for the honor of taking on Allen Crabbe's contract.

    Raymond Felton says, "hi".

    Would you welcome him back, too?

    Yeah, but Sam Presti was GM.

    I think Colangelo values picks less than he did.

    Sam Hinkie.

    And, I'm not sure about Bryan Colangelo. He tried to trade Okafor during this year's draft to acquire another lottery pick, and he refused to trade the No. 1 pick in TOR because he wanted to draft Andrea Bargnani. Sounds to me like another guy who values the thrill of the draft over acquiring known talent.

    Interesting. He's a chip off the ol' trading block... a bone chip.

    If we can trade for Bogut without triggering the luxury tax this year, I'm willing to listen...

    I agree. Not sure Wes' ego could handle backing up his old back up.

    Turner for Bogut sounds like a logical Cuban trade right now.
