How can you not miss Dion after seeing what he's doing in MIA? That blows my mind. I get he didn't play well for us last year, but damn, I know a late bloomer when I see one.

Roberson/Morrow for Delon Wright and 2nd? #whynot

Because why for Toronto?

And Wright isn't that good.

And Dion had a good month. Still stinks.


TOR gets two bodies to guard 'Bron. Carroll and Roberson. Morrow for insurance on spacing. Get two veterans who can help with minutes in this years playoff run without sacrificing money. Just a young prospect who would compete with Payne. Roberson is great off-ball piece for TOR's pieces. Knows how to play with Ibaka. It strengthens them versus CLE and BOS, there two biggest problems.

Just get Darren Collison

Keep an eye on mirotic. Wouldn't be surprised if Presti took a run at him

If we can get him, great. If not, we have to find other ways to build.

Please God, not Mirotic. Can't stand him. He's a pansy.

He'd be a big improvement. Hoping for him.

Three bad backup PG's and starting singler.

On the trade board GimmeDat (Bulls mod) said Grant for Mirotic would be close, or Niko/Grant/Valentine for Cam/Morrow. I'd do either. But he hasn't seen much of Cam, and I'd do the first easy.

So we trade a guy who lost his shot and a PG who looks like he's a massively worse version of himself compared to last year for a struggling Mirotic, a prospect and a solid backup PG.

I'd do it.

All these proposals get me excited, then I wonder who this year's randy foye is going to be.

My money's on Jameer Nelson.

I know Grant is young but this is also his third year in the league. The game against New York was one of the only games I though he played well. It seemed like he always made threes in garbage time and missed them when it mattered. I'm ok with keeping him but he's not a 'Sky is the limit' type player.

That slow motion euro step into fade away floater shot he tries is terribad. He should just commit himself to becoming a pick and pop stretch 4 I think. He doesn't have the lateral quickness to really guard wings all the effectively anyway.

Jameer would be a big improvement, I'd love it honestly.

If it's part of a larger move? Heck yeah. If it's THE move?

Ha. That Jameer idea sounds exactly like a Presti move.

Who says no? Pelicans trade Asik and 2019 first round pick to the Thunder for Singler and Morrow.

Both, it doesn't help them and OKC has $50 million in centers.

Did the Cousins trade just kill this deadline? Seems like teams are using that trade as reference...
