    Hes the most expandable of the 5, as evidenced tonight and most nights.

    I doubt we end up doing anything big.

    After tonight, Batum should be expendable. an 11th hour trade, of sorts.

    I think the last thing we should do is make a "panic" trade because we just don't have the depth to trade a starter and not get back a player that plays the same position.
    I don't see any trade that will make us better now and in the future so I think the best thing to do is nothing and make the moves in the off season.

    Link it. Though, it'd be weird to have an Aldridge and an Aldrich. lol.

    I hate Carmelo though... yuck.

    Shump has a sprained mcl and is scheduled for another MRI.

    Safe to say that he's not being dealt.

    I said it early on this season...Carmelo would make us a true contender.

    As sad as it is to say, I will be. I find it to hard to sleep at the deadline and obsess about everything that could happen and I love Basketball in general so every trade and trade scenario is of extreme interest to me.

    If we were to get Anthony, we should trade LA. Not sure those two would work well together.

    It'd be like Roy ball again - heavy ISO with LA getting the leftovers.

    I think those two could be a devastating combo together. Melo is great in the post when he wants to be and having LA out near the middle of the court would open up space for Melo to work down low and at other times Melo could draw the defensive focus in the middle of the court and give the ball to LA in the post to work 1 on 1 with. Would require both players to get a good chemistry together but I think it could work.
