I just see how we get him. If it takes a 3-4 team trade to do it, Otis hasn't shown he can pull those off.

i don't see our other pieces netting us enough value to land Monta.


yeah, it is going down with ryno in this.


Golden State doesn't want our pieces. But NOH would take them. And NOH has Kaman who is the center Golden State wants.

Alright guys, give your best 3/4 team trade that gets us Ellis and gives GSW a quality big man (not Dwight)

Somebody is prolly going to end up overpaying ryno BIGTIME this offseason so.....it might be in our benefit to get what we can now

Chris Broussard takes other peoples credit as his own and will publish info that people have been speculating for a while and turn it into "sources" and when one thing happens (dwight trade request) he's golden. :lol:

any trade that brings Monta in, HAS to send Jameer out. they wouldn't work well as a tandem, Jameer probably wouldn't handle a demotion well, and Stan probably isn't likely to demote Jameer.

but... i can't think of any team that would want/take Jameer? Utah?

*edited for error. We might be smart to move him while we can. The other side is sign him to a nice deal and deal him for a better play on the day he becomes eligible for trade (like Gortat).

Now this is a good question.

Doesn't the NBA have a pre-3 or 4hr window before a deadline where deals can be discussed or worked on before the office is closed for the night (March 1st Trade Restriction lifted, and Offer-sheet deadline)? That's my best guess

Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

You are correct that Ryan is probably going to command more than we think this summer (you did say that right?). We might be smart to move him while we can. The other side is sign him to a nice deal and deal him for a better play on the day he becomes eligible for trade (like Gortat).

I think it was Historyinthemaking that said that.

Naw I didn't say that... it was someone else on the last page :) ..all good. But Ryan will get a lot of money, that's a fact.
