THE "OFFICIAL" February 21, 2013 Trade Deadline Thread...

That would be much too obvious with how sh!tty Myers has been.

 

The damage has already been done. What he has done already this season warrants a larger deal. Being benched won't really change it now.

 

People do so much stupid sh!t on twitter. It should be outlawed for all celebrities. With that said he is a very good fit for what we need. A cheaper Jamal Crawford. I would still take him (depending on the cost).

 

And the key is we would need a volume scorer like him off the bench. He would definitely get 20 minutes + a game here. Not saying I want him, but I definitely want a volume scorer off the bench.

I think our budget is around 7 million for a player like that.

 

If Olshey said his plan was to go younger and play Meyers the bulk of the minutes from here out, it would probably change his tune about not being traded

 

This guy wouldn't need near as much as that. So would give you money to spend elsewhere.

 

Yeah, which is a good thing. That means we have more money free to spend on other needs. I think he would be a 2-3 mil per type player. That would give us about 13 million to offer a starting center. Then a couple mins to get some more peeps.

 

Only thing we really have to give is Hickson plus a 2nd rounder.

Seraphin and Crawford only add up to 3 MIL so we can't really add any other sweetener players (not that we have any) as then they would take on too much salary.

 

Would they not like Matthews?

 

With the idea of a Lillard/Batum back court with Seraphin starting at SF?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see Seraphin is a "backup PF" guy.

Now if we could get that and JJ said ok, I would be happy, happy, happy

 

If we got nothing for Hickson (except cap space when he left) would you be upset?

 

Yes. If noting else I'd hope they S&T him this summer for something

 

but i thought you said he wasnt an asset? how can you be upset when we get nothing for, in your opinion, nothing?

 

Did I say Hickson was not an asset? Maybe I meant to the current team as a player? All I can think of?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

whatever man, troll on

 

Nah, no troll. Just wasn't thinking the question clearly. I was strictly talking playing. "Retaining assets not giving them up for potential ones" To me that sounds like keeping Hickson instead of dealing him

 

whatever you need to tell yourself
