Brewer/Koufos for Thabeet

CJ Miles/Fesenko for Thabeet, that's our counter.

I doubt Memphis does either. It's not that they need Thabeet, they are just better off developing him while he's cheap and trading him for a better deal later.

I'd do either in a heart beat. Thabeet has no place on that team long term and he has been quietly good this season. I thought going in he'd be lucky to break double digits in PER, but he's near the league average as a rookie. I think he will be very good, and I would give up substantially more than the Brewer/Koufos combo to get him.

I like the first trade..hate to rock the boat during this win streak but we still need a blocking center. I still have a crush on fesenko so I'd rather not lose him.

Should be interesting to see what (if anything) KOC does.

thabeet has been struggling a lot, no way sloan just chucks him on the court because he's tal. He wouldnt play much time here. Im all for him but Sloan wouldnt play him i dont think.

I'd go with the first trade to be honest. Not that either team would do it, but i can't stand Koufos.

I have watched Thabeet play quite a few times, and have always felt embarrassed for him.

Why is everyone itching to get rid of Brewer? I don't get it.

The points drop off, but then again with Boozer and Matthews taking some of the scoring load off him he hasn't had to score as much. I would say that his defense has picked up of late, but I was a little disappointed with his performance at the start of the season.
