Houston has by far the better roster!

Saying otherwise is crazy talk

How would dealing Turner for anything we have make PG happy?

Same way signing a broken down Stephenson makes him happy...it doesn't lol but like I said, they seem desperate, and George is supposedly tight with both Reggie and Dre.

I'm not even saying this is in the realm of possibilities, I'm just sharing a pipe dream of mine

So you meant Dre & RJ to Indy for Turner? PG13 gets to play with his buddies! That would help ease his pain ;-)

Lol, PG13, Dre, and RJ on the same team.

That'd be the biggest fake "Big 3" since the Rose, Carmelo, and Porzingis of the Knicks this year.

McGrady gets into HOF, Ben Wallace misses cut, better luck on second ballot.

Charlotte won, Dallas winning, hopefully New Orleans can beat the Bulls today, WE NEED TOP 10

RIP to what's left of derrick rose's career. Such a shame, really, because at one point, he was easily one of the most exciting players to watch.

Honestly thought he was the most exciting, especially standing at 6'2. It was exceptional the things he was doing.

He's likely to go down as the only former MVP to not get inducted into the HOF. Sad.

I don't care what anyone says the Powerade/Rose/Pac ad gives me chills

Some interesting names on that whiteboard. For Detroit specifically Johnson, Harris, Morris, and Leuer are on there. Orlando's front office will probably be purged this offseason though so things will change.

Not sure of the category, but on the far right they have Luke Babbit (Babb...and then the rest is cut off). I really hope that group is the last resort players.

Likely free agent spread bigs to go with the spread bigs trade column. Not quite sure how Babbitt counts as a big but all the others do.

So Orlando has (inadvertantly) put it out there that they want all of our small forwards (including Tobias Harris who they gave away to us for expirings last year :lol:

). I don't want to give away Harris, but is there a deal out there surrounding Morris/Jackson for Elf or something? We'd lose some of our positive leadership, but we'd also be freeing ourselves of some of the need for that positive leadership in the same deal.

Orlando targets:

EDIT: Oh, snap. Just noticed they are also interested in Leuer. Time to work the trade machine.

The list is too neurotically thorough for me to really take anything from other then they seem to be interested in hybrid forwards.

Agree but it's obvious why:

C: Vuc & Biyombo
G/F: Ross, Fournier, Mario
G: Payton & DJ
F: AG

If you're looking at that as a possible 9-man rotation you need a "hybrid" not named Jeff Green!

Yeah I don't think it's really that much of a leak of off-season plans, rather more just a list of players who are hybrid forwards. And what their FA, RFA, or not a FA status is.

chrbal · Post #1216 » by **chrbal** » Thu Apr 6, 2017 11:31 pm

But its not even list, its like almost all of them. LUKE BABBIT is on that list. Whats the cut off point, when Luke is on your list?

Taurean Prince can play.

eye test, the fact he's starting in a playoff team.

I was referring to what I saw in his 20 points, 7 rebs and 4 assists game against Boston yesterday night.
