You must hear everything that is gonna be said on that bench, we will wait for your news after the game!!
You have a mission, we trust you mate!

Denver, package in the shape of a young asset, 2 of Juancho, Lyles, Mudiay or Lydon probably, a pick or draft rights (depending on which youngsters you get) and a filler, Arthur or Faried.

Cleveland, something around a youngster, Osman, Zizic, a future pick, Shumpert, Thompson, probably you can unload Dudley or Chandler in the trade, maybe add Frye.

Milwaukee, difficult unless Phoenix likes Parker (gotta pay him and you already paid Warren, nobody has played after two ACLs in the same knee, only examples Redd and Josh Howard both retired almost right after), so Parker, Delly maybe add Henson too and you can unload one of Kidd's buddies Chandler/Dudley who have shorter contracts than Henson and hence Milwaukee might add a pick or DJ Wilson?

LA, would have to be something like Austin Rivers, Dekker and a 2021 1st, Clippers don't have much more, moving on from Rivers makes sense if they don't care about Doc long term.

Those are the 4 teams that makes most sense for me, San Antonio does too but for the trade to work they'd have to include Parker salary wise and they arent trading one of their own, plus the Spurs rarely get involve in big trades.

Which option makes more sense to you guys? any others I might've missed?

All 3 of those moves offer a defensive Guard to pair with Booker, Shumpert, Delly and Rivers, that could be useful actually.

Mudiay, a pick, and Faried for Bledsoe seems reasonable. Give Mudiay a shot. Faried will play hard.

I like Faried's energy but he's worthless on the court when you desperately need shooting and makes too much money ($13 million each of the next two years). Arthur makes less than $7.5 million with a player option next year.

Faried only played in two games last year so he hasn't even played in quite some time. Arthur played 15 minutes a game and shot over 45% from 3 on almost 3 attempts per game. He is the perfect big to come in for limited minutes and spread the floor and a nice vet to have around.

Arthur is a pretty good defender too. Never understand why they didnt use him more.

Haha I LITERALLY just pulled that off in the trade checker too. I like it!

[Blackification]

I dont trust Gambo as a source because he is a mouth piece for the front office. However, as a professional in a supervisory position like a coach, if they did give you a two week timeframe to turn it around and you then decided to go tell the team that in an attempt to get them to play harder, you deserve to get fired.

It's actually super heard to hear even 1 row removed from the bench. I'll do what I can. But body language and player to player interactions usually tell more then what bits of audio you can pick up.

Yeah, at this point, Mudiay, Arthur and a first isn't a bad haul at all. I mean of course I want Murray, Harris, the Nets pick, Brogdon and Thon or a first, perhaps Ntilikina or WHG and pieces, etc, but most of that is pretty far fetched imo.

[harshey1388]

Just wondering, but why is everyone so convinced that Dan Majerle is the right guy here? I don't get it, yeah, he played in Phoenix, and?

I don't know if he's the answer but the reasons he's favored by most is probably:

- played for Phoenix
- coached a young and new program at GCU to everyone's surprise
- was pretty good defensively
- has been an assistant at the NBA level

I am reading too much of the internet but looking at trades - I think I like this above one the best

the Cavs -- well that Nets pick might have value but Shumpert and Frye don't

Clippers: maybe you get Beverly or Willimas with a contract like Wes Johnson but they have no pcks

Knicks - next

The Bucks deal above - get rid of two long term deals, get an expiring in Monroe, Teletovic is a good team guy and Brogdan is a good young PG - it makes a lot of sense (as I pat myself on the back and hurt my arm )

Yeah, if we can do that, it gives us an inside scorer, a floor spreader and the perfect guard to play next to Booker. PLUS we get rid of Chandler and get a pick. We won't do much better than something like that. Not sure what Kidd thinks of Chandler, though he did play with him in Dallas the championship year.

I think pretty good reasons - also lives in Phoenix, would represent the Suns

screw GCU Dan - come back to the Suns

if not, Jackson or Van Gundy to me make a lot of sense

**** bledsoe for trying to lie about that tweet. Thats the problem with this team, these “leaders” like Watson, Okur, and Bledsoe, dont want to take responsibility for what they do. You know damn well why they gave you two weeks watson, you know damn well what you intended with that tweet Bledsoe, you know damn well those players havent developed Okur.

Steve Kerr - and maybe he was being nice - but said Mark Jackson gets a lot of credit for why the Warriors play good defense

I think Jackson wants back in the NBA

If Majerle turns it down - call that guy. Just no excuses. Get better and be responsible for playing better. Mark Jackson may not put up with Josh shooting his gun off

Whew, seems like a bidding war is about to start.

a bidding war where the bids are "here's a bad contract and two 2nd round picks" vs "here's a less-bad contract and just one 2nd round pick"

I am not expecting anything of value at this point.

They'll probably go for Mudiay since he has some name-recognition, even though he's going to be out of the league after his rookie deal is up.

[Villalobos]

McD is a trash-tier GM. A dude who has no idea how to deal with people has no business being a GM. A lot of his behavior made sense to me the minute I learned he was a rich kid. He's probably not used to things not just being handed to him and everyone bending to what he wants. And btw, next year will be like the... fifth? year straight of disgruntled players when he or his replacement has to deal with Knight's contract.

No problems with Bled from me. He was awesome, tried to make it work with this garbo team for years despite constantly being in trade rumors and being overshadowed by Booker by fans/media. Hope he lands on a winning team.
