The One And Only Offseason Thread 2

Frank Lee · Post #661 » by **Frank Lee** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 10:28 pm

I don't place the blame on Sarver ... These big namers have a lot of suitors ... And they all want to win now. Phnx has not made believers of them yet. Would you turn down an OKC offer if you were Gasol and take on the challenge in Phnx? Look at the rumors of Love now open to playing in Cleve.

Most of them are already millionaires a couple times over. It's about jewelry to most of them.

As for the doubters of Warren... This kid can play. Has been mentored by one of the most solid NBAers in West for the past 3-4 yrs. Every draft has a guy who steps into the right situation. I see him having an equal chance to succeed this yr as just about any of the lotto boys. He is not a project.

And thus, no need for high mileage Deng.

We have to focus on getting a PF at this point.... At the very least a suitable back up to KeifMo, who now deserves to start. Keif made Frye expendable. I hope we keep Bled at market price, and sign Thomas, along with a mid priced PF who brings a solid game and work ethic. Heck, I'd be fine with Humphreys to hard nose and bruise up second units, if he will come off the bench. You know exactly what you are getting. Toughness.... Hustle... Effort.... All seem to be qualities Horn and McDo covet.

To think we'll find a quality starting PF at this point is stretching it.

So nobody is being sent out to Sacramento then?

I'm guessing Bledsoe is out then.

Again, sorry to ask questions. What does this particular sign and trade mean? Does it mainly benefit Sac?

Nice Something for Nothing trade, McD...

Best part of this offseason so far = laker fail

While every other team in the league goes gonzo for superstars, we've doubled down on depth.

It's win-win. They don't mess around with us by matching or holding out for 3 days, they get a TPE, they look like good guys for treating IT well. It's...... beautiful. :cry:

Thomas and Ennis probably wouldn't play together. Smaller than Dragic/Bledsoe. Ennis could develop in Bakersfield or be traded.

6.5 per year is not a bad deal at all

Wormwood74 · Post #675 » by **Wormwood74** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 10:32 pm

What on earth do we need with 4 PGs? At this point, I think either Dragic or Bledsoe is guaranteed to be out the door.

But will we let Bledsoe just walk? Or S&T? Or are we trading Dragic for Love? Something is up. There has to be a method to this madness.

The contract itself is solid for Isaiah Thomas, now it becomes a matter of rotation and minutes. Someone has to be headed out.
