I hope it's not true. Chalmers is playing well right now.

Of course Rio is playing better when this happens.... I actually don't think we trade away Rio IF he plays like he did vs Houston

But if he still shoots 29% and has no impact then its easy

Rio is strong minded but for months we been thinkin of trading him

Also Josh Richardson would be the next man up.... Our defense would get even better

Well of course he needs to be traded while he's playing well. Why would other teams want him when he's tanking his value during a streak of poor play?

Chalmers-to-Memphis swap...for who?

I love to hate on Rio like most, but it would sting a bit to really see him go. The annoying **** grew on me.

For the sake of gom, I hope it isn't true. gom is the only dude who rocks a rio avi with pride. Can't be having him go on hiatus again.

What I've heard being discussed is a swap with Memphis where we get nothing back and Memphis dumps Vince Carter on the 76ers along with 2 second-round picks. This doesn't even get us under the tax cap (we are at 93.3M and the tax cap is 84) and we get no new assets.

And my sig too. I would need another sig and that would suck. This one spits in the eye of everyone who loves basketball.

Chalmers, though, is in the final year of a two-year deal he signed in the summer of 2014 and is making $4.3 million this season. Sources say one possibility, if a deal were to come to fruition, is Memphis including fellow veteran Beno Udrih in a trade, but Udrih earns just $2.2 million when it comes to salary-matching purposes.

welp its about time we got an offer for Rio.
Beno was the best mid-range shooter last season but his 3% was worst than Rio. so.. :dontknow:

& Beno is 33 yrs old..
