Dude is a baby, do you know how much thicker he would be at 23-24?


AAAAAAGGGHHHH!!! STOP LOOKING AT STANDING REACHES!!!! THEY...ARE....WRONG!!!

Man, I need a bumper sticker...


Nav is saying that the measurements are all exaggerated and Chriss is shorter.

Thad Young for #20 it's an steal for the Pacers. Good starting PF...something that we need and his price was low.

I think I predicted this about a week ago. It just feels so much like something the suns would do it scares me.

What will happen is they will take Dunn thinking they have a Bledsoe deal but that will fall through then they will have a press conference saying how Dunn was their guy and playing time will work itself out. Then for the next few months well here about all these trades and eventually one of them gets traded for 50 cents on the dollar.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Nav, you need to slow down on your speed reading, your skills aren't what they use to be. A few pages back I recanted on this. I actually had someone get cynical with me for saying Blake, Amare and Chriss had pretty much identical measurements and athleticism.


They weren't good to begin with, now you say they are worse??? Ooof...I'm in trouble... :lol:

Ainge trying to scare the 76ers. "Oh, we loooove Dunn. I guess you need to trade with us because he won't be there for anyone else. We'll take one Okafor and one Dario Saric, please."


I hope Sixers don`t fall on that bluff.

An overpay imo. Knight+34 might get it done.

Seriously I know we got Bledsoe and Knight, but at least Knight is more of a combo guard. Celtics got IT who is purely a PG because of his small stature, and Smart who is 6'2 and can hardly shoot, and also Bradley who is 6'2. I seriously doubt they'll get another PG. If they do take Dunn, well then good luck trading Smart/Bradley/IT thinking you'll get significant value for them. Maybe you can trade IT to the Pelicans for their pick but I seriously doubt it.

Should ask em where he would go had he stayed in college...
Or ask em if he thinks he's getting traded.

All the while we'll trade/pick up in FA a bench PF and claim he was on our radar for awhile and will be an excellent starting 4 for us...oh, and then of course, give the Max to Telly or Leuer... :banghead:

My guess would be that they're not looking for draft picks or young players if they're still hoping to resign KD. I don't think we have anything to offer that would make them better than they would be with Ibaka.

I don't know what they want...probably Knight taking that Waiters/Foye role?

Knight + #13 for Ibaka?

Chandler and #13 for Ibaka ?
