Hennigan estimated he talked to about 12 teams about various trades today

He must be pretty high on Harris or Lamb...

Would have to think he could have easily obtained a 1st round pick from one of those teams.

That or he doesn't like any prospects in that draft range or later more than Harris.

There is not much speculation anymore if Hennigan said he valued Harris and Lamb more than a 1st pick in this particular draft year.

Talking to 12 teams.... Yahoo's Woj confirmed a couple teams or so already offered a 20's range pick this year for JJ....

The new guys could be available, as long as they get their physicals done before the game. They've got all day tomorrow to do that. I think we had a road game the next night after we got Darko and I played I believe..

in this video Lamb says his fav player is penny Hardaway. I bet he chooses #1 for his jersey number

We can sign anyone in the d-league? I still don't understand that. Wasn't Jeremy Lamb in the d-league, could we have just signed him?

I'm guessing has to be an unsigned player... lamb was signed, just got sent to dleague to develop.

Pretty sure some teams own D League teams or whatever....Like a MLB farm system.

Not sure why each team doesn't have it's own where it can develop players & give them some PT.

It says we share a D League team with the Heat, T Wolves, & Sixers (Sioux Falls Skyforce).....not sure what that means though hahahha

Blogger mentioned Malik Waayns, I'd love to get him in on a 10-day, I'd bet that's who comes.

That was the guy we loved in summer league but he signed with his hometown 76ers (only to get cut by them). Wouldn't mind that pick up.

I'm down for that....Hell he may even be able to play himself into a spot for next season.

We saw what he was capable in the Summer League...(Yes I Know)...but he certainly has some top notch speed & scored 19 on the Cavs earlier this season in some garbage time...(Yes I Know)... :lol:

We'll probably fill out our roster with another big guy not a PG, right?

Noonskadoodle · Post #1155 » by **Noonskadoodle** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 4:00 am

Hmmm Maliks last game in the D League was Jan 27th.....wonder if he is injured?

Well all we have is Beno as a legit PG on the team as of now with Meer out.

But we've used Moore there all year. Right now we only have Nicholson, O'Quinn, and Vuc.

Well I kinda like the trade I really liked JJ but can see the business side and to many uncertainties with his upcoming free agency. One side of me hopes he just plays out this year with the Bucks then signs with us, but the other is hoping he goes to a title contenting team and wins a ring. I will be rooting for him, good luck to him he will be missed.

I kinda figured we'd get Beno with the expiring contract and needing some point guard help I remember him playing pretty well against us a couple times. Harris was a shocker I didn't think they'd give him up but I like it, young solid player. Lamb I remember in college and he was actually pretty good and was kinda hoping we'd pick him in the 2nd can fill in as the back up 2.

This trade actually saved us from Ish Smith picking up his option and being on the team for two more years, it also opens up space next year if we intend to draft Marcus Smart.

True. I could see them going either way.....I for one am sick of seeing Moore attempt to play PG & bring the ball up the floor. He needs to be spotting up & slashing.
