Dwight to Dallas for Wes Matthews and Nerlens Noel

This would be gold. But idek if Cuban is crazy enough. Hopefully he get desperate since he can never land free agents and get excited about the thought of having Dwight as a expiring since Noel is certainly gonna walk.

[catch20two]

Remember when Kemba used to have Lamb to play off in the beginning of the season and they used to both go for at least 20 points and whatever double digit scoring we could get from Dwight was a plus? Yea that was the best part of the season so far.

Meanwhile Batum had 5 points on 28% shooting in 36 minutes. Oh I can’t forget his 10 assist. Very Lonzo Ball-ish.

Dwight to Phoenix for Brandon Knight & Tyson Chandler - why would they want to swap tyson for howard?

Dwight to Dallas for Wes Matthews and Nerlens Noel - doable, but Noel starting at C is very risky

Dwight to Toronto for Valanciunas, Caboclo, & VanVleet (would also need to dump salary somewhere) - Most probable

Dwight & MCW to Utah for Ricky Rubio and Joe Johnson - doable, but we'd have to find a center

Dwight & MCW to Orlando for Biyombo, Augustin, & the LOLZ - hey, if Orlando throws in a draft pick, I'm down.

Wait, so who plays center after the Utah trade?

Frank of course. If he can't do anything at his natural position he becomes another bad pick in the land of misfit toys.

[JDR720]

Utah isn't going to spend 25m on goberts backup.

Would do the Dallas and Toronto trades. Would ask bucks too, they supposedly wanted Jordan.

[JDR720]

Dwight and mcw for henson and delly.

Things I don't understand:

(1) How we are so **** at setting up lobs to Dwight. Marv had back to back just embarrassing lob attempts. MKG had several too. It's like we abandoned getting Dwight low post position in favor of trying to get him lobs, but didn't realize that we only have 1.5 guys in our starting lineup and MAYBE 1.5 guys on our bench with + passing skills. I could have told you encouraging MKG and Marv lobs to Dwight was a bad idea.

(2) In what universe is JOB a good idea at C against a MIA team missing Whiteside and with Olynyk and Bam in foul trouble for 70% of the game? I would honestly feel better with Graham at C than JOB. I personally don't like Frank at C, but if there was ever a game when we should have done that for extended minutes it was tonight. We ran Kemba - Lamb - MKG - Graham - Frank for a little bit (might have been Batum instead of MKG, can't remember) but only for a couple minute stretch in the second half.

(3) Frank is proving a disturbingly bad defender. Lost track of how many times he got beat in ISOs against Johnson + got burned in the PNR when his man rolled to the basket. For allegedly having such a high BBIQ, he can be so underwhelming on D.

(4) We have got to shoot more threes with our starters. We had 14 attempts, and Kemba had 10 of them. MKG has been fantastic in the midrange and it's **** time for him to put up threes. I'm sorry but it is. Shoot 20% if you have to, I don't care. Hell the corner threes can't be much farther than the top of the key midrange Js that he loves. We need more attempts from all of him, Marv, and Batum from three.

Dirk saying he expects to play another year gives something like this a small chance of happening. Ive been going to work on the trade machine trying to come up with Howard trades and the thing ive been considering the most is how crazy teams GMs are.

Check out this doozy...

Howard + Batum for Noah + Hardaway Jr + Kyle OQuinn + Lance Thomas or Mcdermott

Trade machine has us with -2 wins and New York at -8 wins, so it actually lines up with the track records of these franchises.

[JDR720]

Yeah Mkg really needs to shoot threes. He is shooting >16 footers at 37% surely he can dump in threes at 30% on low volume . you can't do Dwight, Mkg and godawful nic together and expect good offense.

[JDR720]

I'm not desperate enough to take on Noah's contract. That thing is pekovic bad (probably spelled that wrong)

1) The lobs from Marv and MKG were laughable... like c'mon there's no way we are completing even 30% of those, right?

2) Tonight was a great opportunity to go small but we didn't. It was also a good time to use Frank at center and we did very little of that. This team is ridiculous with its rigid positions.

3) "Disturbingly bad defender" should be Frank's new nickname. I've lost count of the times he's been lunging at a 3 point shooter and after the guy buries it he gets visibly upset as if it can't possibly be his man again and there must be some sort of miscommunication.... i mean surely a few aren't his... but the numbers speak volumes...we are awful defensively when he's on the court. Also, he had a play tonight where he half heartedly went after an offensive rebound he had zero chance at covering enough ground to get while his man released and buried a 3 (wayne ellington). That kind of crap just drives me nuts.

4) Batum can't make the 3's and I'm assuming MKG just can't either. There's no other explanation for why he won't shoot them. It's absurd.

I wouldn't either. I was just posting that for the lulz.
