Wonder what the rotations will look like now with these few moves...

Great trade. Dude is a real player.

I remember there being a ton of hype about Holmes a couple years ago. Huge improvement over Tyson, obviously.

I don't trust this as real news, but it brings up a legitimate possibility of now trading Chriss

Holmes is a worthwhile gamble IMO. Had him as a possible trade target to start the summer. Thought maybe a deal involving Daniels would work, but then they drafted like 87 guards. Didn’t consider him being dealt for cash after they picked up his guarantee.

He can block some shots...has a little offensive skill (more than Chandler anyway, at least from the perimeter). He’s probly a bit overrated as a defender due to his block numbers but I think he fits. Obviously not a needle mover though.

Wonder what McD is up to? Trying to open room fir williams? Bender or Chriss at C?

I said it like 50 times yesterday. Tyson is toast.

I said above - the Clipper are so heavy at PG -- and I know they got Gortat - but Chandler for Milos (preferably Beverly) and Boban makes sense for the Suns and the Clippers have so many roster spots and the Suns could use a PG. Suns waive Boban and it becomes Chandler and Dudley for Beverly, Holmes and bring back Sauce.

Not giving Chriss away but if included in a deal to help longer term - why not.

But the deal is going to be a throw away deal - and just moving on from Chriss. I would like to see one year with Chriss of real coaching but Triano probably gave Ryan a lot of good insight.

Going back to the Cavs for Hill - would they take a flier on Chriss with Chandler for Hill. A bit of cash savings. 3m bucks. They are talking Korver for Bayless so that might make Hill expendable IF - they do move Korver for Bayless

A rim-running, shot-blocking center? Too bad we didn't draft one of those. Lol but actually I'd like a point guard too maybe

It's still too early to move on from Chriss.

It may take him until his second contract to really put the pieces together, a la Channing Frye. It would suck to lose him for nothing.

Bender makes 50% more than Chriss and is a worse player than Quese. The math is simple, if we want to move one of them, it should be Dragan.

reading Twitter - Gambo was behind and basically copying Bordow and Woj

as for Chandler -- if Bordow is correct - probably means no Sauce or seeing if there is a similar dump for dump trade as Dudley

Gambo always just copies them lol when he posts his own info its usually wrong (earlier someone posted that gambo said we were trying to buy out tyson and bordow said thats wrong)

Holmes is a great utility bench guy to spell both PF and C Ayton. He's big enough, quick enough, and versatile enough.

Very good pickup. Just gotta see how rotation shakes out but guessing he's the first big off the bench
