Monroe to the Bucks on a Max offer. The Bucks have a young athletic team.

PG - MCW
PG - Middleton
SF - Greek Freak
PF - Monroe
C- Zaza

I really like this move for the Bucks. They were putrid on offense but with Monroe locking down the middle and Parker returning (and hopefully improving), they're going to be dangerous next season.

Provided everyone clicks, I think you're looking at a 47-48-win team.

Yup. Milwaukee has done a real nice job despite being in a city generally shunned by NBA players.

Aminu is a very effective player -- I think that's a bargain for him. Portland has done very well here IMO.

I dunno PIF, it's hard for me to wrap my head around guys like Aminu and Crowder getting $7M per. But I'm sure it's only the beginning. I'll just have to get used to the silly money under the new cap.

(And the worst/funniest part is that these same offering these deals will be crying poor in 2 years and posturing for a lockout. :nonono:

Geez, Jason Kidd has some pretty good tools now... good think MCW can't shoot

PG - MCW, Vasquez, Ennis
PG - Middleton, Mayo, Bayless
SF - Greek Freak, Parker
FC - Monroe, Henson, Pachulia, Plumlee, O'Bryant

I guess I have a bit of a different take on the potential lineup than others:

Monroe/Pachulia
Parker/Henson
GreekFreak/Dudley
Middleton/Mayo
MCW/Greivis

Add Plumlee/Bayless and that's a very deep team, especially since half those guys can play multiple positions. I admit I was skeptical about their future after the Sanders situation and their parting with Knight. But they're in good shape.

From a Wiz perspective, maybe we can take a guy like Bayless off their hands (they also have Tyler Ennis as PG depth).

Plus I wouldn't describe Zaza (Gabor <jk> ) as either young or athletic. He's
nothing special.

Pelton seems to like it anyways.

Indy comes to terms with Monta Ellis, and then this from WireTap:

The Dallas Mavericks have interest in trading for Roy Hibbert if they are unable to secure a deal for DeAndre Jordan in free agency.

The Indiana Pacers would like to trade Hibbert this offseason after they encouraged him to opt out of the final season of his deal.

Indiana drafted Myles Turner and they plan on playing faster moving forward.

Does this mean no more David West for them? Could we get involved in the Mavs deal (Hibbert to Dallas, Nene to Indy, we get TPE to pursue who's left in FA)? Maybe even a David West S&T (if that's still possible).

The value in Nene is that he's expiring. I'm not sure how a TPE turns into anything more valuable unless I'm missing something.

Monroe's deal is great for him. @ 3-year 50 Mil, he can bolt for a contender in his prime (28) if he doesn't like the direction of the Bucks.

Can somebody tell me what the Kings plan is? Nothing that's going on over there makes any sense.

The suns are taking a huge gamble. If L.A. goes home with San Antonio and leaves the Suns sitting at the bar at 2 am they are ****. Giving up Morris and bench depth...... I hope they had a promise from L.A. first!

Post #395 » by **bondom34** » Thu Jul 2, 2015 10:29 pm

The Suns were possibly interested in moving Morris either way, he's had locker room/tech issues, plus the assault case on the twins. Wouldn't shock me if Kieff were traded too. Though I'm kinda interested in their offseason in general, love the Chandler signing.

gambitx777 · Post #396 » by **gambitx777** » Thu Jul 2, 2015 11:46 pm

I like the Dudley trade, let's get more suns and go after Markieff. A Webby or Blair trade of Markieff would save them money, since he is set to make 8 mill next year. If it's a blair trade, I think you can probably pay him to leave and get the raw cap room?

I think the brothers want to play together... Nene for the Morris bros would help this year but hurt in the Durant sweepstakes?

Well it would be tough as well as seems they've agreed to send Marcus to Detroit so they've split them up already.
