Evans by a landslide, Evans is actually a pretty good player when healthy and featured by the right system.
I really like the potential of his in the Pelicans set up, if they are able to stay healthy and change Eric Gordon for a 3&D SF, they could be pretty good, I like Evans with Jrue too.

That's an insane proposal. Jeopardise a good asset in Bledsoe in case Len doesn't breakout in his 2nd season? That's like, trading Parker for Deng, in case Giannis doesn't break out in his second season.

People really tend to overrate Dieng who is a fine back-up Center but nothing else.

The Suns by the way, if Stein is right, are about to make a serious mistake extending both Morris' for 52m$ in 4 years.

Pretty bad deals.

Parker isn't a free agent. I certainly wouldn't have traded Bledsoe for Pek or Dieng at any rate.

But he is tradeable.

4/32 mil for Markieff and 4/20 mil for Marcus

Rumors are circulating that Hibbert (who has long been mentioned in rumor mills) could be on the move, and that the Cavs front office is looking for a third team to a deal done.

ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst followed up on this report on 850 AM/WNKR by saying that Cleveland has long been interested in Hibbert, but any rumored discussions are preliminary at best. “The Cavs have scoured the league to trade for a center, but couldn’t find a deal,” said the former Cavs beat writer. In acquiring a $5 million trade exception this past weekend, a deal is exponentially easier to execute assuming the Cavs could add enough in the way of draft picks to make it worthwhile for the other team.

Cavs get: Hibbert
Pacers get: Varejao/Mayo
Bucks get: Haywood

Taking the Josh McRoberts role it seems/

Kemba
Stephenson
MKG
Williams
Big Al

is an interesting lineup. Zeller and Vonleh the two backup bigs.

Can't think of many more perfect fits for the Cavs than Hibbert. Completely alleviates all defensive burden on Love, and you can space the floor with Love's shooting ability and Hibbert's back to the basket game.

@NerlensNoel3 wants to win NBA rookie of the year and defensive player of the years honors this season.

Noel looked scary in the summer league. His potential is absolutely ridiculous.

Would love to see the Bucks get in on a Hibbert to the Cav's trade as the third team.

And I'm open to dealing Sanders there IF we actually could somehow get real value from them.

Hard to say those are crappy deals when Channing Frye got 4/$32 also. At least the Morris guys are young and great chemistry players.

I don't blame Phoenix for what they are doing. They are stuck on the path of trying to be competitive as they have too many decent young players right now to blow things up.

I think 4 32 for markeif is a good deal; he probably would have got a bigger offer sheet next summer. 4 and 20 for Marcus is a little steep but I guess it's kind of a package deal for the twins.

They certainly both play better when they are together. Even though they are young guys they have started taking on leadership roles and have been applauded by the coaching staff for their offseason work ethic.

I think Markieff kind of mirrors Ersan's deal, he's had one good season........
