DJW for Nwaba
Craig for a 2nd
Sign Shaq Harrison

Cross your fingers that Otto Porter Jr gets bought out and wants to play 45 minutes up the road.

DJA - Harrison - Merrill
Holiday - DDV - Forbes
Middleton - Nwaba - Pat - Nwora -
Giannis - Porter Jr - Thanasis
Lopez - Portis - (2)Diakite

Anyone think Isaiah Thomas is worth a look if he's cheap and the Bucks can move DJA in another deal?

I think a point guard who is smaller, worse at defense and even more ball dominant than DJA is a bad idea. I like the guy and I hope he gets a shot, but not here.

[Ron Swanson]

Kind of surprised that Emmanuel Mudiay isn't on an NBA roster right now. He's definitely a guy I'd look to bring in as point guard insurance.

I think a lot of Bucks fans have flirted with the idea of OPJ for years, myself included. Still say it's probably worth the gamble but dude has really struggled to stay healthy.

Also, Forbes has earned better than third-string benchwarmer status

[emunney]

Still think Napier is the guy if we want to sign a PG.

DJA, Lopez, Pat, and DJW to the Nets for Harris and Dinwiddie

Sign Shaq Harrison and Cousins

Dinwiddie- Harrison - Merrill
Holiday - DDV - Forbes
Middleton - Harris - Nwora -
Giannis - Craig - Thanasis
Portis - Cousins - Diakite

Small ball lineup of
Dinwiddie, Holiday, Harris, Middleton, Giannis

Dinwiddie is trying to make it back this year, and because of his injury will probably pick up his player option next year. Risky gamble that has the potential to payoff.

Agree on Forbes, I should have labeled it the strategic shooting weapon position

[Ron Swanson]

Dinwiddie tore his ACL not even 3 months ago. He ain't coming back this year.

Lol, I feel like I've seen this multiple times now. Even prime AP wouldn't be making it back this year.

[emunney]

Dinwiddie tore his ACL not even 3 months ago. He ain't coming back this year.

He had his reconstruction this calendar year! If he's really trying to come back this season, I would STRONGLY advise him to reconsider.

[GoldenAntlers]

Let's see some Lowry trades for the hell of it.

[crowhead76]

I do not think he is coming back this year either, however that trade brings back Joe Harris and Dinwiddie for next year and moves all the salary we wanted to move.

Dinwiddie - DDV
Holiday - Forbes - Merrill
Middleton - Harris - Nwora
Giannis - Thanasis
Portis - Diakite

This would be what would be returning next year if Portis and Forbes opt in. I think they try to resign Portis if he opts out and Harris more than provides in the Forbes role if he opts out. I did add Thanasis as I think he comes back at the minimum. They do have their first round pick this year too.

Problem is I don't see any reason Nets would do that trade. I'm all for Joe Harris but I don't see a scenario to get him. First, we're basically giving them our blah/garbage players for a good one (and an injured good one) then add in that we're one of their prime rivals for the East and why would they help us out.

I agree, just a gut feeling on this one. DJA and Durrant are good friends and he provides veteran depth for them, Lopez is a floor spacing big, something they are looking for. I actually believe DJW may find a role in their rotation, and Pat gives them bench depth and leardership. As a whole they fill out their roster and probably win a chip this with our castoffs. but next year...

It would still probably takes picks added to make it work and even then, Joe Harris is worth more than we offered, I am just betting on the idea that the Nets do not really need his shooting.

You made a logical argument for it, I'll give you that.

But I don't see it. DJA is heavy ball handling G, which they have plenty of. DJW straight up sucks. Yes, Pat is a competent bench guy but generally is the same position as Harris, who is astronomically better. While you're right they have enough scoring, Harris' type of scoring/shooting is huge for them as an off ball sharpshooter to provide spacing for the dribblers. Lopez does fill their big hole, but he's got 2 years left on his deal and I'm sure they're confident in a league min buy out guy to handle this spot. Probably have their eyes set on Drummond.

I do concede that Harris is probably not going anywhere, and the package the Bucks would have is very underwhelming.

However, if they were interested in a Lopez Dinwiddie swap, would you entertain that idea knowing you will not see any return until next year?

Guy off a torn ACL I'd probably hold off. I probably like Dinwiddie more than most here as I think we need a chucker/type (clarkson, etc) to help on O but it's not like he's awesome and a player option contract and off an ACL I probably look elsewhere.

I was clicking around yesterday and thought Jeremy Lamb could be an option who fits Brook's contract. Would need a 3rd team who needs a big though as Indy doesn't.

[crowhead76]

The trouble is finding teams that would take on Lopez, if the Celtics are wanting shooting with size I would swap him for Marcus Smart Unfortunately Brook does not fit their scheme and it has become quite obvious how important Smart is to that team.

A Marcus Smart, Jrue Holiday back court would be fun to watch defensively though.

[DingleJerry]

Yea lesson learned is not to overpay for bigs in today's NBA.
