Ryno?

In fact Hedo has more talent too, but he is getting old.

I can't trust Ryan to pull through for me in an ISO. I would trust Beasley more. Ryan is easily a better rebounder and 3pt shooter. Beasley has all star talent with with the brain of a middle schooler, but he still has all star talent.

We lacked a PG and we got a starter and made it to the Finals. We got that boost. We lack a go to scorer, if we get one we can maybe repeat the Magic pun intended.

Also so what if Dwight becomes hated like LeBron that doesn't make us a better team post him leaving. Decisions, decisions.

assuming if we have to trade dwight i would do this out of everything ive heard. gives us good talent on good contracts while getting rid of 2 longer contracts. funny thing is when i did the trade without duhon we were +3 and when i added him we for some reason become -12 lol, something might be wrong there http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7858fqd

1st trade window just opened. Now till Sunday is probably the best opportunity to get some deal done before waiting till last minute deals on the 15th.

I know I haven't posted much, but I've been keeping tabs on these threads. They've kept me updated on news around the league.

I'm adding my opinion on the whole Dwight matter. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. One day I could see him staying and then the next it looks like he's gone. I hope he stays, but I don't want to lose him and not get anything. I would prefer a deal that gets us some decent YOUNG pieces. Like, of we traded him to New Jersey, I would want MarShon Brooks. Screw Brook Lopez and his injured self. I wouldn't mind a deal where we got a decent wing player and a good young Center.

Sam young is available and would greatly improve our bench. plus who knows how serious jrich is hurt

Young said his agent and the Grizzlies are working to find a trade partner, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Spin: Young has not voiced much displeasure about his descent from the rotation this season, but apparently he wants out from Memphis. He could be a sneaky source for steals if he lands in a minutes-laden situation.

Man i hope jrich just has a bruised knee. he would be a major loss because of his immense popularity in proposed trades

i don't need a star, all im asking for is a legit point guard to fit in with the team, just not duhon please

Post #376 » by **Def Swami** » Fri Mar 9, 2012 4:13 am

We have a 2 day window for trades, but we just beat the best team in the NBA. All the more reason for Otis to say "I like this team" by the end of the weekend.

Yea if a trade is gonna happen you would think it would have to be these next couple days. Like I said in the Beasley thread I think SVG=Frank Martin who was able to get Beasley to play at a very high level. Maybe that's the kinda coach he needs.

Bare minimum upgrade the bench. Baby and Duhon are not the rotation players that we need.

This.

Improving the bench will go a long way for us and also allow our starters to be rested properly without the fear that we will completely lose the lead.
