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.


I don't think THJ is a downgrade from Hendo, and I think Al and Noah are ideal together; one is bad one defense regardless if he's a c or pf, yet is an amazing low post scorer and more than adequate rebounder, the other is an amazing rebounder, defender and assist man for a big and doesn't look for his opwn shot; perfect compliments to one another. We'll just have to agree to disagree about our fake trades.

The question isn't if THJ is better than Henderson it is that he is worse than who we should take at 9. Al is a bad defender at C but he would be the worst guy in the NBA at PF. No mobility. There is also no way our coach plays him and. Noah together with his inflexible lineups. I like the effort but it just isn't a very good outcome for what we lose.

Charlotte trades #9, #24, Zeller, Taylor, Henderson, 2015 1st for Irving
Cleveland trades Irving, Jack for #5, CHA 2015 1st, Taylor
Utah trades #5, for #9, #24, Zeller, Henderson, Jack
'
Is anybody opposed to this? I'm not the biggest Irving fan, but can you imagine a Kemba/Kyrie backcourt?



Al/Biz
McBob/Biz/MKG
MKG/Lance/CDR
Irving/Lance/CDR
Kemba/Irving

That would be stupidly awesome.

I have seen your board and I wonder. Why do so many people on here love Lamb? You guys like him better then Thunder fans.

Half of us love him and the other half are asking the same question you are.

There was someone on the Thudner Board saying if we would do Lamb for the 9 pick and that would be the most lopsided trade in years.

24 for lamb right now?

I probably wouldn't do Lamb for 9, but I see a ton of potential in him.

If they did that Cho would have already had a deal lined up to go back to OKC and this was an FU on the way out.

Fixed for accuracy. Kyrie Irving is sooo overrated and has attitude problems. I wouldn't want his prima donna attitude anywhere near this team.

Probally would depend on what happens on draft night but I think they would do it.

While we are discussing OKC/CHA trades, do you think OKC would accept Gary Neal at 24 for 21?

I think being anywhere other than Cleveland could only help him.
