But saying Ariza is a "backup SF where KD plays" seems like a flawed view of lineup rotations. Ariza can plays the 3, but his versiyility allow for him to play the 2 or 4 in different lineups. So his minutes could definitley be used. But hey, you guys have no interest so no big deal.

If it was Perkins for ariza or even Perkins and our pick or pjIII I'd be really happy, but not for the combination of assets it would take to make a realistic move.

Look's like OKC pursuing Evan Turner.

• Word around the NBA is if the Sixers are, in fact, set on trading Turner, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves would try to put themselves in the mix.

I hope not. Outside of the Dallas pick we have nothing to offer except lamb, and trading for turner then Not being able to re-sign him seems pointless.

He'd be a nice 6th man. Better than Reggie Jackson. Don't know if it is realistic, though.

Personally, I'd love to get Turner... however, it seems very counter to the way the team has been run. He's a guy that is quickly approaching a big contract summer, and with the numbers he's been putting up early this season, it is probably going to be a big one. I feel like this would really open us up to even more criticism, because if you're trading much of value for him, I would assume you're doing it with the intent to resign him. If you resign him for say 10 mil/season, or even 8 mil/season... It really seems like they should have just signed Harden then.

On the how to make it work side... it seems pretty easy. Open roster spot, big enough TPE, and some combination of draft picks should be an appealing enough package for a team that Turner has pretty much come out and said he isn't going to be with long term. I just don't know how it works as far as long-term cap implications. They would have to give up salary or amnesty Perk in order to avoid the lux tax this season and then they're long-term screwed if they want to keep some combination of Lamb, Jackson, and Turner with KD, Russ, and Serge.

Gotta think Min can beat any offer OKC should but up. I think he's played himself out of what OKC can really afford to give up for him. They can get a better pick that an OKC late first for him, so it'd take some combo of Lamb, Jackson, and picks. Not to mention a likely salary of over 10 million if he keeps this up to keep him in the future. For the money and what it's going to cost to acquire him, I wouldn't want him.

I am a newb, I hope I can post here. I learned the hard way that I couldn't post on the general board because of the dumb 100 day rule.

At any rate, I think Presti needs to get a package together and bring in Afflalo from the Magic. If the Magic are looking to save money and get a draft pick, the Thunder have options, like Thabo's expiring, and Thabeet who only has $500k guaranteed.

You're very much welcome to post here! Hope to see you around more frequently

In all of these trade scenarios, I just really don't see us adding to our salary situation, especially before the end of this season because I'd be shocked it we went over lux cap for this season. Maybe next year or as it gets closer for Durant to make a decision, they'll throw more money out there, but not yet.

I would be pleasantly surprised if we traded for any >MLE money players during this season as that would mean
a) Trading Perk > cost seemed to be too high
b) Being in the luxury > don't see likely.

Thabo expiring is our biggest positive salary matching purpose tradechip.

It would be best to start throwing money out there now to convince durant to stay especially now that his idol one of Brooklyn's finest is his agent. Who would you rather play for a billionaire owner who is paying an extra 80 million in luxury tax in a huge market who could expand your brand internationally versus an owner wouldn't pay $80 in luxury tax, a very small market and can't help you expand your brand? Trading for Affalo and using the tpe on someone like Hawes too will make okc favorites.the thunder treat kevin like the quiet kid of yours that you don't pay attention to much and give your bad kid or kids all the attention to thinking it doesn't bother the shy kid when it really does.

Are we talking about the 3-7 Nets who have issues all over the place??? I don't really see them as a threat, currently, to be a player in KDs Free Agengy multiple years from now.

Thunder are playing it smart in deciding when to go into the tax. Next year and the year after they will...but they won't hit that 3rd year repeater tax.

All I know is that Lamb should start growing some balls and Jackson should shoot better 3pters before we get out of guards to play.

Knicks apparently want to move Shumpert. Also it doesn't look like they are going to compete any time soon with that team.

What about a Thabo + for Shumpert deal?

Or a Perkins + for Chandler deal? Or some combination of the two.

Would you guys do Perkins for JR Smith?

I'd still say no, Lamb/Jackson are doing pretty well off the bench, and Sef is a very good player, still hoping OKC can resign him for a reasonable deal. Aldrich saw his time w/ this franchise before, so I doubt that he would be of interest.

Stil don't think OKC would have much value in JR Smith. Shumpert more likely.

Could we get KG from the Nets if they decide to blow it up? Maybe KG for Perk, Thabo, DAL pick and our pick?

I don't mind Shumpert or Chandler, but I don't think NY would give up chandler for Perkins. Another SG OKC could look into is Aaron Affalo.
