Bones and Eric Gordon would have solved our front court issue?

I'll let him say what he means.

Miami believes RW has more left in the tank than Kevin Love snd others in the market. Which makes sense why RW was their main point of emphasis, now they direct attention to positional need in PF/C.

Their 6 game losing streak must have sold him on the idea

He flashes potential and could be a potential starter for us in the future. Meanwhile, we're giving a 2nd to dump Dedmon just to stay away from the luxury tax. Like come on

Bones would only make sense if Lowry was dealt. We didn’t have the same hand as some of these other teams hence why we couldn’t make the equivalent trades. And I know that isnt a popular idea here but its the reality. Expiring contracts like Wall are much easier to get out of than Lowry or Duncan.

Man it's just crazy how we only have 2 second round picks right now. We saw so many teams this deadline trade 2nd round picks for an average player (Jae Crowder, Bones, Rui, GP2, etc.) Wtf did we do with all of them? Did spending 4 on KZ Okpala ruin our 2nd round picks or something

Yea KZ was a big miss by the scouting dept that ended up costing a lot of picks. To be fair though, what we saw at the deadline this year is pretty unprecedented in terms of # of 2nd round picks being traded.
