mia/no, fair cost cutting deal

Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

by Kevin Yeung

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

Panic! In The NBA Playoffs

by John Wilmes

After a dull weekend of Game 1s, a doubleheader between Knicks/Sixers and then Nuggets/Lakers delivered an excess of drama. You never know when a basketball cult might be formed or broken.

I was thinking something similar in my NOH financial destruction thread. except I included Chandler

Chandler,West,Posey,Watson(acquired from OKC for Paul in my thread)
for
JO/ Beasley

Chandler/Anthony
West/Haslem
Posey/Jones
Wade/Cook
Chalmers/Watson

To me that line up puts them in the top 4 in the east. What a battle royal that would be.

You would have to read the thread. Basically just a scenario IF the financial situation puts them in a situation where they have to. But also very likely if they make a deal like this that CP3 would then demand to be traded. He wants to win now not wait for a young player to develop.

Beasley for West is an interesting trade for both sides. Having to include Posey's bad contract for a productive expiring like Haslem is overkill.
