Call it now: Who we gettin by the trade deadline???

[NikolaPekovic]

I want to extend pek. but we NEED a good young center to back him up. We could always sign pek and trade him down the road of things dont work out.. but im hoping it does.

If Taylor is willing to pay the tax or Kahn clears enough salary somehow maybe you can make another Shvedlike move in the offseasn and go after Vitor Faverani, after some dissapointing years in Malaga he seems to have put his ***** ***** ** together and is playing like he cares.
He's under contract for 2 more seasons but probably has an affordable buyout.

Personally, I'd like to re-sign Pek, re-sign Bud, and add a starting claiber 2 guard this summer. I'd like to see what that team can do. That of course with a healthy Love and Healthy Rubio finally playing together

The Bucks got Redick for scraps! Scraps! Why couldn't we pull that off?!

Because we don't have any expiring contracts

Roy... Stiemsma?

Roy, Malcolm Lee, Memphis 1st

[Nuggets_Talk]

Not like hes third string in your 5 spot, anyway right? You prolly need Greg Stiemsma to cover his departure, don't you?
Apart from Brandon Roy being the only terrible thing in the deal, I think you overestimate 10mpg player while you have logjam on his position(+you drafted another guy on 5). On the other hand, I myself have serious doubts would have even perform better than the Stiemer did or he would have his own terrible display of skills.

i think you missed the point.

we "missed out" on a 20-something pick in a weak draft? id much rather keep a 7 footer as insurance/size. and hes certainly better than stiesma.

He's a free agent, giving up anything for him would have been risky.

25 million dollars is a lot of cap space to have tied to two players with the same skill set. We don't need both of them and we are in the unfortunate position of having the better one griping about playing in Minnesota. We need one of them and the lesser one's contract is up first. Not good. But, what option do they have but to resign him? If they let him go they only have 7 million to play with in free agency. Even Mozkov is going to get close to that and then we're still looking at what kind of SG we can get for a combo of D-Will, Ridnour and a draft pick. The same option they have if they keep Pek. At least with Pek we have that insurance if Love leaves and if he doesn't we have a trade asset.

Wait, when has this happened?

[Worm Guts]

Love and Pekovic don't have the same skill set. There's really no reason to make a decision now. Let's at least see what they can do together with a full healthy season.

I think in a sense of being below average defenders, not long or athletic, slow to get up the court, and not finishing with authority at the rim, they are similar in that sense.

PEK is not a below-average defender. Check his opponent's PER or, you know, watch Tony Friggin Parker being forced to pass the ball one-on-one against him.

"Long or athletic"? Are you Kahn? I don't give a **** about long and athletic (see Johnson, Wes), I care about the ability to play basketball. And you should too.

"Slow to get up the court"? Have you missed PEK beating other team's guards to the rim? I don't even know where are you getting this stuff. Do you even watch games, bro?

Their games compliment each other very well. Just from viewing the way they play, they seem to feed off one another especially on the offensive glass. Pek is a lot worse on the glass in my opinion without Love. Love requires a lot of attention

[Tirion]

Also "not finishing with authority" line is stupid too. Ugly points count just the same as the dunks.
