very interesting for you guys..


On December 15: Taj ($8M), Mirotic ($5.3M), Jimmy ($2M), and three unguaranteed vet mins ($2.7M) for Love ($15.7M) and Martin ($6.9M).

Rose, Hinrich, Brooks
Martin, Snell
MDJ, McBuckets
Love, Gasol
Noah, Gasol

Gosh, after looking at that lineup, I worry big time about our defense. I'd want to keep Jimmy - substitute MDJ for him, and add some picks to the deal.

Rose, Hinrich, Brooks
Martin, Snell
Butler, Mc3
Love, Gasol
Noah, Gasol

Now we're talking.

Yea don't really see Love as an option anymore with Gasol here now. Maybe at the trade deadline.

Didn't the Wolves have interest in trading Love for Gasol last year?

There were rumblings that he maybe included in a Kevin Love deal. But that's because he was an expiring contract last year. Flip isn't going to want to take Gasol on a three year deal now.

And it makes us look pretty bad trading Gasol a couple months after he signed with us for less than he could of gotten. All because he wanted to play for a contender. Future free agents remember that kind of stuff.

It's a pretty great channel.
The Pacers' elevator doors play could work nicely with Noah in place of Hibbert and Pau in place of West. You can have McD or Snell come off the pick, or even Rose, then he can either shoot it or curl back in and attack the basket.

Instead of the reporters laughing at Wade like morons, maybe ask him to answer the question, why does he flop?

Anyone listen to the newest Hangtime Podcast(#169) with Sekou Smith? Around 21-22 minutes in Sekou talks about he couldn't believe how many executives and scouts raved about McDermott at Las Vegas. He mentioned that one of them said if they redid the draft now after seeing the players in summer league they'd have McDermott #2 overall on his draft list.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.
