Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
I think it's pretty unlikely that Cody gets moved, but I also think it's highly likely that one of MKG or Marv gets moved with the 11 and 31.
If this is a low key play on PG I will lose it.

My thoughts as well.
I was really disappointed in MKG this past year, but trading him would hurt. I still have hope so I'd rather not send him packing just yet, I want to give him one more season.

The fact of the matter is, Cody has become a first-rate starter, but he is injury-prone and the coaching staff is afraid to play him more than 28 minutes per night. I can see Howard playing at least 23-25 minutes. He would mesh well with Batum.
Do you see Zeller and Howard on the floor at the same time for more than a handful of minutes? I have trouble imagining that.

Trading for PG would be crazy imo. Butler on the other hand...

I really hope we don't move Cody. He should still be our long term plan at center imo. I don't trust Dwight and I don't think hes good enough to make us want to part from Cody. I'd be more open to moving MKG, though. With Dwight I no longer feel like losing MKG would be a death knell for our defense.
Yeah I'm leaning that way too. C and PG injuries pretty much destroyed CHA's season so guessing MKG if only 1 is moved.
Targets feel like Bledsoe, Dudley, Lavine, Jones, Beverley, and several Denver options.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
I like MKG but if we are going to trade one of Cody or MKG. I want us to keep Cody.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
The only sorts of trades I'd entertain are KLove, PG, Butler, and Blake. I want MKG here, but I'd bundle him and picks for a start in a second.

For realz, Denver literally has all the good guards. I bet Will Barton could be had on the cheap since hes about to get paid. Might not even need to move MKG.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
Always knew Dwight would end up in purple and teal. Now lets pray Monk falls to 11 or we make another move to trade up. I cant take another white guy getting drafted in the first round. I will literally be happy with anyone as long as their not white or a Geralnd Henderson type black dude. IDC how that sounds im white myself so I can say that.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
If we played a "trade proposal for Dwight" game on here, I bet no one would have seriously offered as good a deal as we got. Kind of funny that we all essentially moved on and assumed we were investing in Miles.

The pieces are there now for a serious run. No way CHA stands pat with the wing situation.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
This trade is good. With pick 31 someone of value will be there. since we have Howard I think we should try to get JJ or Frank Jackson with 31 if either are still on the board. I wanted some big men but since we have Howard we can look at sg and sf and pg's.
UPDATED `10-22-2025
These are who I want with our picks in order
THEM - Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen
UNCNYC - Arthur Agee, William Gates

Spent a little time back handing Plumlee + 11 proposals on TnT board. And of course my counters of 41 instead of 11 was lol'd but whatever.
But I never had Cho's audacity to demand #31 too.

Re: Traded for Dwight- spears
I'm not fond of Dwight, but maybe he'll be more easily tolerated now that he's one of the good guys. Hard to believe the pieces we turned into this opportunity.

I agree. I honestly think we roll the dice on George, give whatever it takes and bank that mega-max + MJ ties + good team is enough to get him to stay.
Offer choice of Marv / MKG + 11 + 31 + future very protected 1st that will likely convert to 2nds and see if we can do something here.
