Heard where?

I've been the biggest Taj Gibson fan of this board for a while now. He improves our defense drastically.

The only problem with trading Dragic is I honestly don't think he has that much value unless its to a contender, and most contenders wouldn't have the cap space to sign him. I think the best bet we have is to sign and trade him in the summer if we want to get full value for him.
As for IT, I don't mind him but I think most teams view him as a 6th man rather than a starter. I don't think we move him unless we get commitment from Dragic.
Last thought, Maybe McD got IT because with last year and Dragic playing Euro ball he wanted to give Dragic a break physically. His minutes are down and so is his usage, maybe IT signing was just McD thinking long term health for Dragic. Now he's looking to move IT with the added rest that Dragic has received. Idk, I'll take of the tin hat now. :dontknow:

He's my favorite prospect to change our mentality for good.

If true, Suns should jump on this imo. Harris has star potential, great athleticism and size for his position and the go to scorer that we need.

Exactly! Harris is an amazing player and if we trade for him NOW we can offer to him, Dragic and Wright contracts next year. He is a borderline All Star , like Hayward or Bledsoe, and he would be amazing playing like our starting SF.

Yup and he's younger than Hayward and Bledsoe too, he hasn't even hit anywhere close to his prime.

Apparently Gibson is frustrated with the Bulls and the Suns are interested. No doubt McD is going to offer Morris twins + Plumlee.

Is Taj Gibson really that much better than Markieff Morris?

MilotheSlayer · Post #750 » by **MilotheSlayer** » Wed Feb 4, 2015 11:01 pm

I would do IT and Marcus and Plumlee for Taj and Snell. Would rather keep Kief.

Morris twins + Plumlee
for
Gibson + McDermott

Done

If you trade for Gibson and still want to keep Wright, you have to trade the Morris twins. The most obvious trade piece for Gibson is Tucker. Could the Morrises net you an upgrade at SF (who won't run away in free agency a la Harris)?

No. He is worse.

But don't let that stop the fire selling...

Actually, Kieff has outplayed him this season.

They are different type of PFs. Gibson is a better rebounder and defender, Markieff is a better scorer and passer.

thamadkant · Post #756 » by **thamadkant** » Wed Feb 4, 2015 11:26 pm

Comparing Markieff Morris to Taj Gibson is like comparing Al Harington to Antonio Davis

Al Harrington provides scoring and offense whilst Antonio Davis provides the toughness, defense and interior presence. So depending on the team's needs and direction... each player can present a case who is "better".

I really like McDermott...any option that they would trade him for Gerald Green?
Probably they are looking to win it all this season.

Maybe not as talented but probably a better personality

MOBros will be a bargain for someone..... even with extradition papers. :-?

Do not forget the real reason they might be on the block.

Why are we even talking about Gibson? Is KLEON an insider?

Has this been reported anywhere?
