I would love that move. At least he has SF size unlike most of the players on our team.

Wilson Chandler is on a very reasonable expiring contract (~ 7 mil). I really hope we can go after him.

Sacramento Kings are the most dysfunctional franchise in the NBA.

Jake Fischer: The Sacramento Kings will begin discussions with free agents Josh Smith and Lou Williams today, according to league sources.

Interior defense and shooting will be a problem for the Bucks but that team is shaping up nicely.

Did Cleveland fake the Lebron landing?

Great news looking forward to watching him.

Idk, when we first got Demarre I felt like we needed a starting caliber SF and we just made him into one. Who's to say Bazemore couldn't develop? It's possible.

I was in the same boat, at first I didn't think DMC was the answer at SF position.  The problem with Bazemore is he doesn't have the size of DMC.  Bazemore is 6' 5", DMC is 6' 8".  

Our big man rotation and guard rotation looks very good. All we need is a starting SF. I am wondering whether we would see a trade.

It would be reminiscent of Josh Smith as SF in Detroit.  We need a true SF.

Find me the "holes" in this roster (10-deep):

 

PG - all-star, Jeff Teague - backup - Dennis

SG - all-star, Kyle Korver - backup - Tim Hardaway Jr.

SF - Thabo Shef. - backup - Baze

PF - all-star Paul Millsap - backup - other players as assigned depending on rotations

C -  all-star AL Horford - backup - Tiago Splitter and Mike "Moose" Muscala

 

That's not even counting Mack who is a great emergency guard.

SF is a big hole right now. Thabo is injured and not starter material. Baze doesn't have the size to play SF as well.

Aaron Gordon is one guy to keep an eye on. With Hezonja and Harris (if they keep him), he may not get any minutes at all. A future 1st round pick for him would be a steal.

I am with Hotlanta on this. I hope our Bud sees Splitter as a 6th man rather than starter.

May be we can later make a trade to bring Marvin back to ATL

The problem is if we keep Millsap, we don't have any money for those guys either. Only option is a trading for an SF using Scott-Mack and a future draft pick.

This is not the time to judge Bud.  At first DMC and Millsap weren't popular signings here either. Let's whether he will be able to find diamonds in the rough like Ferry did.  Let's wait to see how TH Jr plays (and how Oubre plays as well).

For him to break off talks, it means that they lowballed him. IF we lose Paul, send that 80 to Green with a frontload that puts them into the luxury.

Breaking off the talks is probably a power play. They simply can't afford to lose Green at any cost.

Tyson Chandler to Phoenix while we still wait in limbo

4 year 52 mil. Teams are just throwing money like crazy at this point.

Eddy may not be called up this year.

 

However,  on the draymond Green front...  You're telling me that there is a chance?

Seeing the crazy money spent by teams such as Cavaliers, I would be shocked if Warriors do not match whatever is offered for Green.

- If Millsap stays, we will have a pretty good front court rotation with Horford-Millsap-Splitter-Muscala-Eddy.

- Whether we keep Millsap or not, we have a big hole to fill at the SF position and no cap space to fill it.

If we really have to trade away Muscala for Splitter, I will be pissed off though.

I wonder whether Bud has second thoughts about not keeping Oubre now.

I think SF = Thabo and Korver.

Korver is more of a SG. Even Thabo played SG in OKC next to Durant.

And he might not be ready come the start of the season. Regardless of how the Millsap thing plays out, we need wing players...and badly...

Aminu would be awesome but Portland already got him.

And we may no longer be if we don't find an adequate replacement for DMC and Millsap leaves for nothing...

There is no way we miss the playoffs. But we may significantly regress if we don't add some pieces.
