False trade rumor, but good fodder

[Darko Miliminutes]

Wall is a mental midget. He freezes under half court pressure. No moxy whatsoever. Serious crunch time choker.

A deer in headlights, when it's on the line.

Good thing SVG and Bower are running the team.

Holy crap what a terrible deal/idea.

Take Harris out of the trade, and I'd go for it. I wouldn't miss those two picks if we knew Wall would be our PG going forward, those picks will likely be in the 20's.

Well, sure, but Harris is a big part of the value in the deal.

I'd trade Reggie and Bullock and two 1sts for just Wall (no thanks on Markieff, too risky). Those firsts aren't going to be very good (if they're 2017 and 2019), and it would help our defense a ton. Can't see why Washington would do that, though.

Is the difference between Wall & RJ really 2 firsts AND a season of Bullock?

No, but that's not how marginal pricing works on stars. Once you get to a certain level, you pay a lot for upgrades.

Make no mistake, Wall can run the P&R better than Reggie because he's faster. He's a pretty awful outside shooter, yes, but between his quickness, passing, and most of all, defense, he's a definite upgrade. Not a huge one, but one that could make a real difference on this team.

Now he'd also exacerbate our outside shooting problem. It'd put a lot of pressure on KCP, certainly, but he'd get KCP more good looks. If KCP can't make them, he'd need to be replaced, too. In other words, this isn't going to happen, because I seriously doubt Stan wants to change that much of the roster.

Eh Wall might be a better passer out the pnr but Reggie is a much better scoring. So you can't say Wall is better.

No effing way.

I don't think that difference is worth it.

If we assume Kieff is worth a first then we're dealing RJ, Harris, Bull & a pick for Wall!

No way!
