Give me Taj for JJ.

much rather have a pick the frickin taj gibson

lol more power forwards... are we turning into the rockets?

[Nsantos]

Do this swaps work for both team?
- H-Turkoglu for R-Jefferson?
- A-Harrington for Z-Pachulia?

JJ for Taj = No Thanks.

Hedo for RJ would work but its a parallel move in terms of ability. The only difference is that hedo has a 6 mil guaranteed contract next year while RJ has full guaranteed year next year if he exercises his player option. Even though Hedo and RJ are the same in ability I still prefer RJ lol

A- Harrington for Zaza wouldnt be bad bc he has one less year in his contract as oppose to A-Harrington. Im not sure Atl does this though bc they are looking for flexibility as well. By moving Al harington it gives more time to Andrew Nicholson which I would prefer.

Harringtons contract is also only partially guaranteed

[thelead]

Just one more month til training camp... I'm not the biggest football fan so it's going to be a LONG month for me.

It's also possible Harrington replaces Hedo as the starting 3. I'd be fine with that to start the year until JV is ready to insert Harkless into the starting lineup.

[Bensational]

I don't want us playing veterans and would rather see the rookies play a lot to get more experience, but I guess the experience of working hard and earning your spot as a starter is just as important.

I agree unless that is a legitimate lottery pick with very little protection we are getting back, then that trade would be a bit acceptable.

Would like to see how Moe does for us before we decide on trading our young talent.

[Jiwol]

I wouldn't actually mind taking Klay and some young filler for JJ though.

no way GS touches that.

IMO Klay is going to be one of the better SG's in the league for years to come. All he needs to work on in his body a little bit.

EDIT: He actually averaged 18.6 PPG in the 28 games after Monta left and that was with Nate Robinson doing his typical chucking lol.

At 6'7 205 he's got a good frame and hes still 22/23 years old.

I'd take him in a heartbeat

Also throw in 41% 3pt and 87% FT percentages

[JarethCutestory]

Oh look, we're balking at Klay Thompson now.

It IS just another day on this forum.

I love Moe and his potential, but Klay is on or above his level right now, and I HATED him coming out of college. Dude can score.
