Doesn't really matter if we're not planning to use too much of it.

 

Well you never know what's going to come up. As much as I hate Ross, Chandler is not that much better and Hickson is mediocre also...

 

I dunno maybe they'll fit better on this team, Masai is certainly smarter than me.

Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

A 2nd unit of GV/Lou/Chandler/Hickson-Amir/2Pat could be a lot worse.

 

That's one of the best 2nd units in basketball.

 

We dump 2.5 useless players (Ross is semi-useful) and get two players of need (solid wing+ 2nd unit rebounding)

 

I would do that trade.

I don't think that trade really moves the needle and that is what the goal should be with this group when making a trade. The bench really isn't the problem so making a trade to improve the bench seems kind of a waste. This team isn't going to lose in the playoffs because of their bench but rather their starters. Hickson isn't better than the 3 bigs we have right now so it seems like a lot to give up for Chandler.

 

Also Chandler hasn't been good the last 2 years so there is a lot of risk.

Nuggets are a dumpster fire - if you watch him play you can see has talent and would definitely fill a good role on our team + no more hansbro + taking some of GVs minutes away.

 

Really seems like a decent move for us overall, despite selling low on Ross

Even with Chandler the team isn't going to ECF. I think you are better off using the cap space this summer.

It's possible but unless we get one of the elite big men (Millsap etc) I'm not sure it will make too much of a difference

Chandler's 3PA have skyrocketed the last two years.... Really odd. Lack of confidence going into the lane because of injury history?

Masai has pretty much shown his hand that he's going to pursue KD in 2016. I highly doubt he adds anything in FA this offseason.

 

If this is the package maybe Masai can find a way to flip/flop the order of the NYY 1st rounder next year (i.e. Denver can't swap with us). I'm sure he'd find a way to sweeten the pot as Denver appears to be desperate to shed payroll.

If they sign a FA this year to a max deal will they have enough cap room to get KD in 2016 with the cap going up?

I thought this game was going to be a complete joke, but there is actually a lot of talent on the World squad.

 

They should do that in the actual NBA all star every 2 years, the game would actually be competitive and fun to watch.

So Zach Lavine can jump really high.

 

T-Wolves looking like they're going to be a force in 2-3 years... So much high-upside talent on that roster.

 

Wiggy, Lavine, Shabazz, Dieng, Rubio with excellent trade chips in Martin and Pekovic.

Lavine is one of the best dunkers, not sure he is going to be a good basketball player though. He's still very young but I haven't liked his game so far.

 

Not the greatest distributor of the ball... probably more of a combo guard then a true PG. Practicing with Rubio should help him (unless he's an egomaniac and isn't willing to listen).

 

He's still so young though. The raw talent is pretty impressive.
