With Minnesota if they can't get Crawford then we can send them J Rich since they need a SG, we could send them JJ but i chose JRich instead because of his longer deal and the fact the Wolves have stated they would like move veteran help to balance out their young roster.
With Washington they are looking to move Blatche and some veterans to balance out all the young players they got.
With Cleavland they can get better deal from other teams that need PG help but if the other available ones ( R. Felton, D. Harris, A. Miller) are already moved then we can strike a good proposal like i have show by sending them players that won't hurt their salary cap that they clearly want to preserve.
With Milwaukee they want to move S. Jackson pretty bad and very few teams would want him other than us plus his value is pretty low right now so we can control the players we send them more in our favor and keep our good assets for dealing with other teams.
If we make a drastic splash of a trade like reports are stating we want to make that that helps us put better players around Dwight then i believe these are out most realistic options.
I Know lots of people here do not think too high of M.Beasley but he can create his own shot and SVG should be able to get the best out of him. With the trade of Swapping Jameer for Harris its just a clean swap for too PGs that need a change of scenery .
anyways , im interested to hear what you guys think of these trades.



You had some good deals, I don't want A. Blatche on this team if they can get rid of Big Baby cool but to bring in blatche who is more dumber would not be wise.

you are right , that is probably the best combination and on top of that none of their current deals are over 2 years.

I don't really want him either but if it turns out that is the only way to get rid of Big Baby then i would take it.

Yet while there would be even more reason for optimism if the Magic could find some help for Howard, two sources close to the situation said their reported attempt to land Ellis simply never happened. Warriors owner Joe Lacob is obsessed with the far-fetched thought of landing Howard himself, and chances are he wouldn't green-light any move -- even if it was a three- or four-team situation -- that helped Orlando keep Howard.


Is the owner (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? They don't have enough assets to trade for Dwight. Even if they do, would they give it all to rent Dwight for 2 months?


Seriously.

Any deal would have to start with Curry and Klay, they really don't have too much outside of that. Unless they take on a boatload of bad contracts......which would be outright stupid, considering Dwight has told you he won't stay.

Do they seriously want to do this? Like, really? I don't understand, at all.

GSW are misguided. they think they have a "you do not get players from us, we get players from other teams" caliber franchise, but in reality they have a "posturing does not make up for everything and we are not aware of that" type of franchise.

I feel the same way... GS comes off as completely idiotic... like a 4 thinking she's a 10 :wink:

Steve Kyler ‏ @stevekylerNBA
RT @JeffreyRLove: what would the Lakers have to give up for Sessions?? ---> A draft pick for sure... or someone like Darius Morris

Doesn't seem like much imo.
