    Their weakness is putting the ball through the hoop. They have one of the better defenses. They have problems finding scoring if lebron or Davis aren’t in the game

    Too bad there aren't any scoring guards in the league and they have to trade for another forward who is unlikely to share the floor with their two best players.

    I'd love to get Vanderbilt assuming the price isn't too steep! 23 and he's 6'8" I didn't realize humans grew that tall based on our lineup I assumed humans were unable to be taller than 6'5". :P

    Technically he is only 6'7" (in bare feet)

    He’s been playing with their best players. He’s been playing the 4 a lot

    Let's say a great trade offer came along for a 3 we would love. I don't care who, but assume it's good and legit. But the price is Ant.

    Would you be willing to trade him? If so, would you let Sharpe start at the 2?

    Yes and yes. I mean if Josh is still here Chauncey would probably move him down to the 2 but ideally we'll cash Josh in for some size on the bench or trade him with Nurk for a more mobile 5. So hopefully that would leave an opening for Shae to be our fifth offensive option in the starting unit but get him a whole bunch of experience while winning. I think in a starting lineup where he's the fifth best we could do both.

    If I'm the Nets, I ignore Kyrie's stupid trade request. His threat is he'll leave as a UFA in the Summer. Oh yeah, where? Sign and trade or suck it, and you can wait till the Summer flat-Earth boy.

    We would jump at that! The truth is, though, nobody would be prepared to give up a solid 2-way player for Ant.

    I wonder if Nets are seriously considering pairing Westbrook with KD again.

    Was just listening to Jake Fischer and he said Portland's package for Vanderbilt would be a player (he didn't name specifically) and multiple 2nd round picks but Utah is still demanding a 1st for any of their players. I'm assuming the player would either be Keon, Justise or Greg Brown. Nas would work as well, but I don't think Portland is ready to move him.

    If a 1st is coming, it'll come at the deadline. If no first, then we probably get him.
