Can he (Grunfeld) scoop someone up with the assets we have to improve the worst bench in the NBA??
For real though, Like can he pull off another escape, it would be nice if her could A. dump nicholson somewhere, B pick up some nice bench pieces in all of this mess, Evans off the street would be a mind blowing grab considering what he would do for our bench and we would get him for free! Plus we can offer him more money that just about any team in the east playoff picture except boston and indianda,which I can't boston wanting him or needing him and he would probably rather play here than indiana. Swooping in and pulling a thornton for jones trade would be a **** magic trick in itself if you could swing it to help them balance that team out.
Like I said this is going to shake the market value. And #1 lover the value of players not on Rookie deals or RFA, and #2 rise the value on picks. This is good. This is really good, because we are buyers and this trade will make it easier to move a relatively cheap money deal like nicholson's as filler in a trade and get more out of him and a pick.
