Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII

[in-limbo]

The protections on picks are getting crazy.

[OrlandO]

Not sure if serious.

you are cancer to the board. The fate of the franchise depends on us getting a top 5 pick in this draft. You are either hopelessly nieve, stupid, or both.

Listen, I get what you're saying but that's out of line. You can't fault fans for supporting their team and players during games. To be honest we don't understand your kind either. Sometimes guys like you just come across as another variation of a bandwagon fan or possibly a troll. You wish that we lose games. You cheer for the other team to win against us. You can't cheer our guys on during the lowest times. You only support the team during games after we land a superstar in the draft. You want to trade our players for pennies on the dollar. Those aren't characteristics that come to mind when I think of a fan. I accept that we don't get each other but back off with the insults.

Agreed, it was out of line and I'd recommend apologizing. We are all fans of the same team, no need to insult each other just because we disagree on things. Real Dalic's comment didn't deserve that kind of response. I want a top five pick as well and even I'm shaking my head at the thought of trading Afflalo for 2nd rounders. He is worth at least a future late first or former late first. Anyway, not like we have any control over the situation... some want to tank, some want to win, some don't care and are just waiting for it unfold naturally. It's not worth putting people down or getting upset over.

I'd def trade aa for waiters, but like I said no way Cleveland does it

This is a question and not a suggestion. I'm not really that familiar with Waiters beyond his draft position and stat line, would he be worth AA+Harkless and do you think Cleveland would do it?

Aa and harkless would get done in a split second on the cavs end, on our end however, henny laughs and hangs up the phone

I'm on the tank train but this guy is a D bag. I love seeing our players play well and you don't dump assets for nothing just to lose. Kindly go away cause you're the cancer.

*TheRealDalic is a good poster and a loyal fan, don't know and don't care to know who you are Orlwillbeback. I'd also recommend apologizing

Apparently those Christmas Day sleeved uniforms are also available for certain players not scheduled to play on 12/25. Here's one for our own Tobias Harris!

What does this say about the NBA's thoughts about Harris and his future?

Man it's a good thing some of ya'll are sitting behind a computer screen when you decide to feel brave and insult people. Apologize to the man.

Ok, that's what I figured.

[BadMofoPimp]

Not high on Waiters and not sure about KCP in Detroit, but they desperately need a player of AA's caliber to gel with the team they built as they have no true starting SG. Not sure if KCP and Stuckey (Expiring) would do it on both ends.

[Viper1500]

Afflalo for 2nd rounders and i would be ecstatic

Not sure if serious.

Whether we tank or not man, trading Afflalo for a 2nd is just stupid.

You're also a Pistons fan right? So good to get that perspective. Not sure about anyone else, but I would do Stuckey and KCP for AA straight up. Great trade for us. See what KCP can develop into, either as starting SG or off the bench scorer.

[Gomagic44]

Give orlwillbeback time to wake up guys. I am a tanker if that is the planned route...but that would be a horrible trade.

I'd rather Henny work his trade genius magic. Wait for the other gm's to get desperate, and capitalize.

[Pnjguy]

As a Bulls fan, I suggested AA for our first rounder (22-28 range) last week. The Bulls would be more willing to do this if their Charlotte pick gets realized this year (top 10 protected). This would probably be an offseason move so the Bulls could amnesty Boozer, and get Deng off the books to get the Bulls under the cap so Orlando doesn't have to take back any salary.

LMAOROFL. Says the dude who insults everyone in almost every post.

That's **** hilarious. LMAO

I wish this season would end already and the draft was today. SMH, conversations here are starting to get redundant af.

If Andrew Wiggins in 3 years is putting up the same numbers for us as Arron Afflalo is doing now would you be trying to trade him too?

[rcklsscognition]

No, because he'd be 21 years old on a rookie deal.

Afflalo hate is all age and contract. We need this guy on the team 2 or 3 years from now, not today.

You hate his contract? His contract is very reasonable for being 27 and how well he is playing. He's been a top 5-10 SG this year with his numbers. Heck he probably being underpaid right now.

You act like his deal is completely handcuffing the team. It's not hurting us a bit.

Let's face it. AA just doesn't have that "cool" factor.

Jokes aside, I've always been turned off with AA because he always seemed to be angry and his demeanor indicated that he didn't want to to be here. Last season he also played selfishly and his name became synonymous with black hole lol. This season, he seems to be a much more willing passer and it seems like he genuinely wants to be here. If he keeps this attitude and play up, I'll be his biggest advocate.

[NEM]

Glad to see mellow rose turn the corner however, I think maybe afflalo found out he's on his way out and has been happier of late lol... I hope not, but maybe
