Would we trade Dennis and Dedmon to the Cavs and take bad contracts if it meant getting that BK pick?

Problem is, those are some terri-bad deals and I'm not sure that pick makes up for the damage those 'tracts would do. Especially when you consider who the players are. Those guys would be detrimental to our young guys' development.

Ideally we'd send them Plumlee or something but Shump only has one more year after this one i think. We could possibly buy him out? Tristan is at least a serviceable center.

Just add in Plumlee and IT. We actually save money on this deal.

I always wondered why folks referred to Kris Humphries as 'Lazarus'. :wink:

Also, 'Kardashian'd' is .... pure genius. Kudos, sir. :)

THIS!

Players in the draft are gonna be pretty awesome and I’d love to land a couple in the top 10 or 12...but locking ourselves up with players that have absolutely given up on the their team, which is a championship caliber team mind you...

And we want those guys in Atlanta?????

I don’t want any headcases and Trump and Khloe are just that.

I mean ... why, macd? Why? The only dude more 'done' and more overrated than Tris-dashian is Thomas.

We don't need to force a trade on ourselves just to help CLE.

What's gotten into you lately, macd? Have you been hacked? Can we get a wellness check on macd, please? :(

Thomas wouldn't play a game for us. We'd just buy him out. Geez you guys don't want another pick in the top 6 in exchange for watching Tristan sit on the bench for a couple years?

Aye, lay off the GT guy. Then again, he might like it. He named his daughter Iman, Jr. so being contrary is kinda his thang. :)

I'm kinda thinking that pick will settle in the 10-12 range, honestly. It's not a lock to be top-6.

if Travis thinks he's got another franchise player available at #6, 7 or 8...we give up any and everything to get it.

Without hesitation. Two years of Tristan is worth it to grab the next Paul George for the better part of a decade.

It's not a lock for sure but think about it this way. BKN hasn't been tanking! This is how good they are when they are trying. 2 games better than the serious tankers. But none of those guys in BKN are going to keep trying as the season winds on.

Ps If ur Mace you add a drop of saffron(nose held high) and hold your pinky to the sky...

Speaking of Paul George, that mfer is ballin outta control for OKC. He was the best player on the court last night and completely annhiliated Zaza on an and-1 dunk. Dude straight punk'd sCurry and Durant defensively. Where was all that in IND at the end though?

Sorry to get off track.

Here's the other thing. Thompson is playing on a team of guys who just want to jack 3s and play no defense. He was a double double machine who didn't whine about post touches when the Cavs actually cared about defense. He's 26 years old. I mean Miles F Plumlee is slamming lobs left and right here in Atlanta.
