I would be very upset if we traded Knight and call for McD's head! :evil:

So interesting how Josh Jackson really has no comparables. Deng at 68% similarity is probably the lowest I've seen this stat ever be

If we get Blake, do we push for George? If we could get him for TJ/Knight/Barbosa/MIA 1st and PHX 1st

Bledsoe/Ulis
Booker/Reed
George/Jackson/DJJr
Blake/Chriss/Dudley
Tyson/Bender/Williams

We keep the majority of our young core, and two "superstars". It's tempting...

that would be ideal but I don't think Indy does any deal without getting either Chriss or Bender back. If I'm McD I'm not giving up either for PG(who will most likely leave for LA the next year).

I think Indy is being especially hardline in negotiations with Boston. Not necessarily meaning that McD has a chance at a better deal, but if we could sell them on TJ and Knight being young, starting caliber players and give them enough picks to satisfy them, we might sneak our way in there.

Idk what McD is up to but have a feeling it's gonna be a meeting like he had with LMA and signing Tyson Chandler outta no where. There's more to this I bet!

You should really look at those comparison numbers again. 68% was the HIGHEST comparability of the 4 players, and JJ had the 3 highest comparability scores of the 4 players (Chriss's highest match was at 60%). All of Bender's comps were 20% or LESS. Either this is just **** work for the stats/comps, or there isn't enough data to make a comparison (in which case it never should have been put out as a viable comp).

Pardon my old eyes. Wonder how our players average comparability compare to the rest of the league. Could be the case that we are drafting these weird skill sets in hope some magic happens

Calipari would make perfect sense

Nobody's convincing anyone of that ever again.

I think you'd be surprised. GMs love to seem smarter than everyone else, taking a chance on a guy who's career per 36 scoring is 17.5 ppg who has fallen out of favor isn't as risky a bet as we like to believe. Plus TJ could be a 20 ppg scorer. Throw in some draft picks, and Indy might be content with that haul over nothing next offseason.

Gambo is saying that Blake's people reached out to us. Not the other way around.

JMac1 · Post #1014 » by **JMac1** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:31 pm

We are signing him....Sarver wants to make a splash, also, Chris and Bender are babies. Chandler starts at the 5. Chris and Bender off of the bench.

Yup. They are willing to work with us. Hope he is salvageable injury wise. Definitely keeping Bledsoe.

Bledsoe, Booker, TJ, JJ, Bender, Chriss and Blake.....

Gotta start Chriss at C with Blake if we get him

That lineup will surely lead the league in fouls and technical fouls.

IMO, Chriss at center would be... not great. Perhaps a disaster. Mayhap a catastrophe.
