POR gets Conley for a minimal price. Basically only giving up Frye.

MEM takes on a year of salary on Thomas. Moves both PGs and their C, but gets numerous picks to build on.

SAC trades off salary and gets Lowry for the PG spot, Darko to replace Miller and Frye to play the PF, all for the #12, #42 and #43 pick.


TRADE #2

MEM TRADES

#28

MIKE MILLER


TOR TRADES

TJ FORD

#17

#13 MARESSE SPEIGHTS- TREMENDOUS UPSIDE

#17 ROBIN LOPEZ- SKILLED AND BIG HEARTED C

#33 JOEY DORSEY- PHYSICAL PRESENCE

#42 BILL WALKER- GREAT UPSIDE, NICE BACKUP FOR GAY

#43 BRYCE TAYLOR- SMART PLAYER, PROJECT


NEW LINEUP:

FORD, CRITTENDON

Boogies... I guess you didn't hear Vernon clowning on DeAndre Jordan today after the workouts! He said that Jordan sucks compared to Love and McGee and has no business leaving A&M. He also laughed at the comparison to Howard.

Well, it is easy to see that Vernon is right. Jordan possesses nothing other than athleticism and a great NBA body.

But yeah, he must be a little biased if he was ripping Jordan and had nothing but good things to say about McGee. Both are certainly works in progress.

Jordan had it easy compared to Lopez getting brutalized by Vernon over the past few weeks.

He was just saying that he could actually see McGee had the skills to be an NBA player. I think he would still put the 'project' tag on him.

McGee is even more of a project than Jordan despite his more advanced skills. I think this guy randomly chooses who he thinks will pan out and then tailors his assessment to this preconception.

Yeah, I don't take what he says too much with a grain of salt.

I do believe his assessment of Jordan though.

I only watched him one time and immediately saw that he knows nothing about the game.

He should go back to school.

Anybody that wastes a lotto pick on him might very well regret that decision.

Also his Kevin Love train bit is pure PR.

Really, if we can't get Beasley or Lopez,,,,,,,,,,, we are better suited getting Speights by trading into the #10 spot
