Season Speculation, Trade Ideas & Discussion Pt. 2

I really don't want anything back but future draft picks for Bledsoe. Give us an expiring to match salaries and a couple of distant 1st rounders.

I like our team the way it is the rest of the year. We can use those future picks to try and move up in a package.

The Cavs losing may really put pressure on them to swing a Bledsoe trade. I like Osman and Zizic, but really the Nets pick has to be the prize. I wonder if we could swing Osman, Zizic, and pick swap rights (not as good as the pick outright, but would give us some flexibility to get the higher of available picks).

[Mulhollanddrive]

Or try to get swap rights for Brooklyn.

[AtheJ415]

Also, many may not want to hear it, but we need to start losing games again. Playoffs are not possible, and this is not the draft to get a late lotto in.

[DRK]

At this time I wouldnt want to mess with the chemistry of the team. It would be daft to try to fix something that isnt broken.

Bled can sit at home with his yoyo for all I care. His ball stopping play and constant pounding of the ball was really holding this team back.

Bledsoe for picks and an expiring (bought out), or let him watch us make the playoffs this season from his couch.

[Mulhollanddrive]

That's why I like still having a shot at the top 5 with a pick swap.

Boo!! Just **** stop it ... go take your tank and play in the street please

Warren 14th pick
Booker 13th pick

That's a Earl Watson Yoga on the beach attitude right there.

That is not true.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Get the Nets pick and everyone will be happy, we can aim for .500 and still get an elite prospect in the draft.

With a proper system under Triano we won't finish bottom 5.

It very much is, and I will bet damn near any sum of money if you would like to make that wager.

[lilfishi22]

I've said this before, if the Cavs around only hovering around .500 or even .600 by December (unlikely but entirely possible), they may look to do something drastic.

No thanks. I will sit here and root for what I've always rooted for--the youngsters to do well and the team to get a high pick. That can all occur while still losing. But I must say it's freaking hilarious how quickly the anti-tankers throw a hissy fit when anybody disagrees with them.

I would never bet against the Suns.

It could very well be true, but why would you bring this up now right in the middle of us winning 4 out of the last 5.

You must be fun at parties

You wouldn't be. You would be betting for them to make the playoffs. I would be betting against it, but for their long-term future because I want a high pick, and I know that teams this young don't win consistently enough in this NBA to make the playoffs, particularly in the western conference that just added basically every legitimate all star.

It cannot happen. To think they will beat out the top even 9 teams in the West is ridiculous. It is setting up unrealistic expectations. It is fine to have them if you want, but don't come back to the board complaining when they fail to live up to them as if the team has failed. The youngsters playing well and improving is a successful season. Wins are ancillary.

Also, I remain very serious when I say I will bet damn near any sum of money with any of you people who think the playoffs are realistic.

[lilfishi22]

In any trade for Bledsoe we should at the very least have the option to swap picks. I think taking our draft position out of the picture would allow us to focus on winning.
