Trade Targets (postcript on yesterday-other teams)

Trading Middleton makes 0 sense. I'd rather dump Knight in that trade.

Often trades in pro sports end up being the ones which no rumors were talked by socalled media insiders. If one of those socalled media insiders puts out a tweet or story about certain teams talking about a trade involving this or that players, in most cases you can then cross that out as having very little chance of really happening.

Besides BuckPack tossing out a rumor he heard, i don't ever expect a local or national media reporter to have very credible inside information about a real trade in the works because that's the kind of stuff most GM's try really hard to keep from leaking for obvious reasons. It can end up killing the trade being discussed and piss off the players involved if the potential trade falls apart. What instead typically gets leaked and put out as rumor is teams or agents feeding out agenda driven stuff which doesn't lead to actual trades except in rare instances.

I somewhat doubt we'd send out 6 players in a deal.

Like Cousins bad or Bargnani bad?

Bite your tongue nerd .

First off, I enjoyed the top player on the list, thanks for that.

Secondly, I know you've seen all the vines/youtube clips/GIFs of Cousins. He could do it, but doesn't want to. Bargnani on the other hand is just crap.

Thanks for your input, 'Heatlifer'. Love the team you support under your screen name though.

The idea of receiving a first-round pick as compensation for "absorbing" a whole $2.1M in salary is delightfully hilarious.

Knight/Middleton are free agents.

I also find the idea that crappy old Milwaukee is 8 games clear of the mighty Heat at this point of the season delightfully hilarious.

Uhhh Randle's value is high, but its not that high.

Parker's value is high but it's not that high.

They are also restricted so they're not really free agents.

The delightfully hilarious thing is Heat and Lakers fans trolling the Bucks' board of all places for trade ideas to improve their suddenly dire forecasts.

You are correct that Parker will not be traded for Giannis. Congratulations.

Can Nicholson play some center? I imagine any move we make will involve a big.
