Man I wanted Gordon 5 years ago.

I think your point is as strong as Jeff's.  We probably are 3 spots higher with more/better depth, but at the end of the day, in the playoffs we would be still having the same problems because of our top 5.

what was this defense lakers were playing tonight, it was hilarious , we are not going to get that very often.  

Buddy is almost 200 pounds as well, that' 15 lbs over DJ is massive.  Shot already looking better.

I'd do that. Send AJ for Grimes since Quin won't play him. Now we have a SG and SF that play defense and can hit threes.

Well yea - do they need a player like DJM that bad though ?

Used.to take Clint half a season almost to get into "shape" now he just never does because he is older now.  We should have tried to get rid of him when that started taking almost half the season to get going. 

How do you not sniff this out before hand. Dude has been an nba coach for awhile and players hate him and that never we came up in your die diligence?  Yea right

If we’re so desperate for first round picks, can we just package up Bey, Hunter and AJ? Between the three I feel like we can get 2 first round picks.

 

i just don’t understand why the FO feels Murray is the only way we get to that outcome. 

 Because they mean more now, the picks, teams aren't throwing them around like they used too.  

this needed a thread for sure

Pascal to stay in Toronto apparently

I see your argument about saving money. I never discuss the cap because it isn't my money being spent. Let's discuss the on-court fit of this trade scenario.

 

Bringing Reeves here, he presumably takes over for DJM as the #2 or #3? Now that he is permanently a part of the opposing team's game plan, does he still average that 18 ppg on 48%? I'm legit worried about him being able to step in and not have us be worse on the court, let alone improving our win/lose record. 

He's a good player, but I couldn't have him being the centerpiece in return for trading DJM. 

Hes on a completely diff team with LEbron and AD, its not even close, he is a very poor fit here unless we are able to increase the size of the team a lot

@shakes, a rundown on Kamla's take on possible Murray deals...

1. Hawks are trash for tryna trade him so they don't have to pay him - that's right, a national NBA host has no idea Murray already re-signed.

2. Keldon is who he'd target even tho ...

3. Keldon makes no sense since he's same as JJ (huh?  See #2)

4. Hawks are trash for acquiring Murray then trading him back (has it already happened, sKamla?  Odd).

5.  I had to turn it off or did my ears just bleed out and die?  Quick, somebody say something.  Nah, I can't hear anything.  Oh noooos!!! 

 

What, just 'cus LAL says so? 

Kamla didnt say this type of crazy shit when he was here he seemed fairly reasonable but when he left some of the stuff he does is wild, but I think that is what they want him to do. 

Toronta need to get soemthing for him, id do AJ for possible rental of Siak just show him the back rooms at Magic city before this summer comes around and he should be cool with resigning here

For dj may be GS, word out there Steph is pushing for moves to be made like really pushing, he is pissed.  Nothing obviously super valuable with them player wise though for us.  May be a 3 way they could pull something plus 1 of there good picks

a deep sea fishing trip and some cuban food.  Which is still more than Toronto will offer for Dre.

Is this true?  I hope teams only watching box score because anyone watching him play defense probably not eager to throw in more picks or w/e

True but he is always guarding the teams best perimeter player, prolly wouldn't be doing that in Nola for example. 

The shooting will improve a bit when dre gets back

Trea getting knocked around a lot this year trying to play D, good for him but man the weight difference is so noticeable when you see plays like this.

Hopefully the pitch to players.now will be build a team around Trea and JJ , makes a lot more sense than just Trae 

I watched a lot times JJ getting lost in def still, and sometimes it's super bad , I know that it takes time but his offense is so exciting it makes you greedy you want to see that fully formed 2 way player with his body.  

He just has got to stop getting lost on Def, if he can get that under control oh yea we got very serious player.

Randle been pretty good this year.  Doubt they are offering that.
