Absofrickinlutely. I do that deal 10 times out of 10. Can't imagine Sacramento would though.

It's Sacramento were talking about. Not the Spurs. I could totally see them doing something like this if Houston won't do Parsons for 8

I started a poll for pick 9 that includes a list of those players in the commentary and I solicited feedback from the board community. So far nobody has added names to my list.

I have Waiters, Hayward, Parsons, Hardaway Jr., Lamb

Really? I think the exact opposite, they're the perfect compliment to one another that will never allow the opposing team to double either guy. One guys strength is the others weakness and vice versa. Oh well, this is the fake thread thread anyway.

They are both true C's. Neither one is effective away from the basket (Al especially) and they both can't be under the basket.

A perfect fit next to Al is Anthony Davis, but the ping pong balls didn't go our way.

The two players as a collective whole. There was a reason you put ellipses in the quote, that was a little shady.

Ah, now I see where we disagree. I don't think Big Al is necessarily a "true center". Either way, yes AD would be amazing with Al.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, but my point stands. MKG is an infinitely better defender than Harris, who is an awful defender for someone of his size.

No problem. MKG is an amazing defender, but he's almost up their with Hasheem Thabeet as the most offensively challenged #2 pick in NBA draft history. Other than Kemba, Cho's draft picks have been downright dreadful on offense.

Well Harris can't be better "in every facet" given the big difference in defensive prowess. Hell that's literally half the game

Warriors use pick 21 as part of their Kevin Love package.

Big Al is nothing but a center since he can't leave the paint on defense without being the worst defensive player in the entire league. He can only defend down low and that is where he needs to be on offense too.

Hendo to Knicks for THJ and Fatty

Trade 2:
MKG, Biz, Zeller and Detroits 1st to Bulls for Noah and the Hornets pick back

Trade 3:
Kemba to Orlando for Tobias Harris and Etwuan Moore

FA signing:
Kyle Lowry to big time deal
Chris Kaman

Draft Napier with Hornets pick
Draft Hairston with Portland pick

New Lineup:
PG: Lowry, Napier, Fatty
SG: THJ, Hairston, CDR
SF: Harris, Viking, Tolliver
PF: Big Al, McBob
C: Noah, Kaman

So we downgrade our SG, if we took Nik or Young, SF, and get two players who can't play together in Noah and Al. PG is a wash due to age and contract differences. What a step backwards here.

Welcome to the board but this is terrible.

If we do, then good bye to the notion of acquiring Barnes.

I'd trade Neal, 24, and 45, along with a future 2nd for Barnes. That's it. Might take back Speights' contract if they want to dump it.

I wouldn't include Biz. I think the problem here is that 21 doesn't really help land Love. The three guys who have value for us right now I would not trade are Kemba, Biz and MKG. None will bring close to what they are worth to our team in trade.
