I mean, the Nuggets are tanking and landed Mudiay in the draft. Do we have any assets for them?

Otherwise, I'd like us to take a chance to sign some Euroleague stars as backups for cheap.
Not easy but Sonny Weems is killing it in Europe, would become a good 6th man for us.

I honestly don't see any way we could get Lawson. The only way I could think of is if we signed DeAndre outright and pulled the 3-team deal with the Pacers and Nuggets. That would require them actually wanting Hibbert or his expiring contract.

If Shved is available, I would try to get him.

He's underrated.

Under serious calculation, we should do 3 things:
1. Trade Raymond Felton, Devin Harris, a 1st and a 2nd for Ty Lawson
2. Negotiate with Mathews to maintain a TPE enough to trade for DeJuan Blair straight up. Word is they want to create space to sign another big and they want to get rid of Blair.
3. Re-sign JJ with BAE.

Our team would average 104.5 PPG, 46.2 RPG (11.7 OFF), 23.5 APG, 7.36 SPG, 4.28 BPG, 19 PFs, 11 TOs.

The number is good enough for contending. However, unfortunately, we still have in increase the offensive and defensive efficiency. The fact is Golden States Warriors average 110 PPG, 44.7 RPG (10.4 OFF), 27.4 APG, 9.3 SPG, 6 BPG, 13 PFs, 18 TOs.

To reach this level, we have to:
1. Shoot more consistently (PPG) - Dirk, Parsons and Jordan can all do better
2. Move the ball through practices (APG)
3. Train up young energy players with potentials (SPG, BPG) - Anderson, Evans, etc. If they can replace older role players, we can improve right there.

Why? Austin Rivers makes more sense. He would probably take less money if assured a starting role as well. The way he clowned the Spurs was just amazing. Had some good games vs Houston too.

So it looks like they're gonna announce Lin early on Friday. Also Donnie wants Terry and Seraphin. Terry did surprisingly well in Houston, I think he can give us solid 12-15 minutes off the bench, rc is gonna play a lot of small ball anyway, so there'll be minutes for him along with Barea and Harris. Seraphin is trashy and Wiz fans hated him, but even they admitted that he has some skills when it comes to scoring the ball. Hope he can be our Wright-lite for 13 mpg.

One of the "insiders" on twitter, probably Stein, but I'm not sure. He never said when the announcement is gonna be, but the moratorium ends on the 9th, so I think they should tell us tomorrow evening or the day after.

Trade wouldn't work because nuggets don't need either of those guys because they already have 3 other point guards on the roster. And it's a little uneven because you guys would win it.

Unless you're using some advanced NBA simulation software that teams don't have access to, you can't estimate a team's performance by adding in per-game stats from another team. If that was the case, the Antawn-Antoine Mavs would have scored 130 ppg.

And to simplify that further: There is only one ball

Dirk needs to be benched and we need ball movement, defensive muscle, and finishing above all else.

I heard we got Zaza Pachulia now. What I'm thinking is developing a team that focuses on a less fast-paced game, for a change. But, with much much better ball movement, shooting, and finishing a.k.a. efficiency.

Remember the Sacramento Kings? Divac couldn't run. Webber isn't really the fastest guy around. Peja wasn't that athletic. Christie, Bibby, Williams, and Jackson were the only ones who can really run.

We can pull this off, we just need good coaching and discipline.

The center and facilitator of the offense will be Parsons.
Pachulia will be our Divac, but shooting will be traded for physicality.

Whoever our PF is, he'll be the athletic finisher/shooter. Darrell Arthur, Darrell Arthur, and Amare Stoudemire comes to mind. Darrell Arthur is my guy though because he has good defense and decent rebounding effort.

Rebounding will be a team effort, mostly between PF and C.
Ball movement will be team effort too, initiated by Parsons, Matthews, and the SG.
Shooting and spacing will be great.
Defense will be team effort but will rely in physicality and coordination more than athleticism.

Our lineup will be small but efficiency is what matters.

Sign Alexey Shved for the min.
Sign Deron Williams for the min.
Trade Jeremy Evans and Charlie Villanueva for Rakeem Christmas.
Trade Dwight Powell and Devin Harris for Perry Jones.
Sign Darrell Arthur.

PG: Deron Williams, Alexey Shved, JJ Barea
SG: Wesley Matthews, Justin Anderson
SF: Chandler Parsons, Perry Jones III, Richard Jefferson
PF: Darrell Arthur, Dirk Nowitzki
C: Zaza Pachulia, Rakeem Christmas

As if this team can get any worse. At least this has potential upside. Plus, we can build a future lineup with Shved, Matthews, Parsons, Jones, and Christmas.

jpengland · Post #316 » by **jpengland** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 11:03 am

Tristan Thompson is still available, could be an interesting option, although it would be a huge overpay I am sure.

Sign Deron Williams for 3/4 mill per year after buyout.

Williams/Harris/Felton
Matthews/Barea/Anderson
Parsons/Jefferson
Dirk/Charlie V/Powell/Evans
Thompson/Pachulia

If we could turn a mixture of Felton, Harris and Powell into a serviceable wing scorer from the bench, that potentially makes the playoffs and becomes a difficult out.

No-Man · Post #317 » by **No-Man** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 10:49 pm

I think we will get Séraphin or Josh Smith with the money left, and then add some vets, probably Terry.

Williams-Barea-Felton
Matthews-Harris-Terry
Parsons-Anderson-Jefferson
Nowitzki-Evans-Villanueva
Pachulia-Séraphin or Smith-Powell

Any interest in absorbing Perry Jones' contract with OKC looking to offload salary?

jpengland · Post #319 » by **jpengland** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 9:45 am

Perry Jones would be the perfect low risk signing. He's a more than capable bench scorer and can play multiple positions.

If there was ANY way to get Steven Adams, I would bite at the chance - I fear we have nothing that they would want, however.

bobsquad · Post #320 » by **bobsquad** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 1:10 pm

Perry Jones is also from Duncanville, he could give the hometown discount
