Is Bennett a SF or a PF? I don't like tweeters . I don't see him fitting with what we are trying to do with the whole length and defense thing.

What positions are you guys trying to fill and or what type of picks do you expect back?

Best asset available. We don't care if it's another center.

Then you must hate Embiid.

I don't want a PG, PF, or C. I don't like the situation that Pistons are in and I would hate for us to be in a position where we have a logjam and are forced in to a sticky spot where we have to deal someone away out of necessity

Having 2 PGs isn't a problem, as long as one has enough size to guard the 2 and one is able to knock down a jumper. Two SG's and no PG is a problem.

Guessing he meant tweeners...

Philly isn't getting Waiters or Bennett for Young straight up.

Young is a tweener who cant shoot. It's gonna cost a bit more than him to get either player

but it's the Wolves who apparently want him so if they don't want one of the above two guys then but do want Thad then that's how it works....They are the ones w most of the power in any deal.

besides it's not going to be "just" Thad but also probably taking on Barea and other scrubs contracts.

Yea it is workable, but you know, it's not preferable

Nice find

As much as I am not a Thad fan. Thad is better then Bennett and Waiters.

I understand your point, but I prefer two guys in the lineup that can play PG, unless they are both guys that pound the ball. As long as they share the ball, the more good ball handlers the better.

Didn't watch much Suns ball last season. But what was the main reason that Bledsoe and Dragic could co-exist?

They can coexist because Bledsoe is a SG who can play PG. He doesn't have to dominate the ball. And he is so strong and athletic that he can guard other teams' 2 guards even though he is short.

OK, but you wouldn't be completely welcoming the idea of a PURE PG to play alongside MCW right?

maybe, but not sure I trust a lebronier fan on this matter though, 2 weeks ago they were telling wolves fans they weren't getting Wiggins and that now appears incorrect. So, who knows what the cavs may throw in, they don't appear too bright. I mean, if Flip frikin Saunders can bend them over, good luck with Hinkie.

No, I wouldn't. But there aren't many PURE PG's anymore and the ones in college are hardly ever lottery quality talents.
