I don't see the point in doing a sign and trade for Avery Bradley; I wouldn't want him for more than the MLE. I doubt Boston matches our offer so just get him to sign and we keep our other assets. I'd do a sign and trade to bring Pau here. Try to jump in as the 3rd team in other teams trades as we did last year getting Rolo and TRob. No we don't have cap space this year but we might be able to flip a young guy or future pick into a more useful veteran. But we really need to see what free agents we add here first before getting active with trades... what if we have chances to sign two great big men? Then we don't need to acquire any bigs. What if we sign two great PG options? Or two great wings? I think Neil should try to add the best free agents he can first and if the roster needs positional balance afterwards then he should pull the trigger on a deal.
I think Olshey will do a 2 for 1 or 3-2 trade. Maybe even a 3-1. You want about 3-4 open spots for 2nd rounders and walk ons.
question, would you rather have Hawes or Pau for a sign and trade? I actually think Hawes is a better fit (outside shooting) at this stage of their careers, he's a lot younger and would probably like returning to the PNW as opposed to Pau
I wish we could trade that package for Rondo! But we'd probably have to include Robinson just to keep Ainge on the phone.
You will be when Dame's PPG goes up into the 30s! Also, it was with the idea of playing Rondo 28mpg off the bench. Never mind the fact that it's not at all likely to happen. But I would LOVE to have one of the best distributors AND defenders as our back-up PG! And I would even consider starting him, sliding Dame to SG and then figuring out what to do with Wes.
It would change the whole dynamic of the team. The offensive philosophy in particular. Not saying it is not a good idea, but I doubt they would try it.
The Nets are a complete mess right now. The time is ripe. Mirza Telotovic is severely underrated. With 20+ mpg last season he averaged double-figure points and shot above 40% from three. IMO, he's a better version of Channing Frye. He's already 28 and has a ton of experience under his belt playing overseas. Pounce, Neil!
I'm not too keen on young. He's a tweener SF frame in a PF mindset. I like that we are the bigger teams in the nba.
Thad Young is a PF and only a PF. Did I mention he's 6'5.75"? And people bitch about CJ being 6'3". Plus, Philly has a huge price tag on him.
I didn't realize he played without shoes? It really doesn't matter for a backup SF/PF. What other team has a post up back up PF that he would have trouble guarding? And his arms are long as hell
