Looking to acquire a starter. Would move Peralta or Seth Smith

Realistically, if the new president of MLSE just stays out of Masai's way, that is good enough for me.

Of the names so far, only one I could get on board with is Cohon. Reports are that he's stepping down from CFL commissioner

SG rankings by ESPN insider: Harden Wade Ellis Butler Waiters Evans Oladipo Thompson Ginobili Stephenson 3 of the realistic top 5 didn't even make it: Demar, Beal and Kobe

Even worse I have heard the morons on the radio suggesting Beeston. Nothing would make me more upset than this happening

Let me know what you find, I am so down to go

Or CF, either one would work quite well

Ya, I guess my main worry with a lineup like that is the spacing. Demar and Tyreke are both awful 3 point shooters. On another subject, Demar's playmaking/handling I have seen during these Team USA games has been awesome. Much improved, I'm so pumped for opening night!

I would take Demar over Tyreke all day. Tyreke would be a good 6th man but not at the price he's being paid (10+ million)

Makes me sad that we passed on J.P. Crawford. Guy is going to be a star

Ya, my bad. I thought you meant this season. This is where I got it from: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/asikom01.html

I guess you missed the part about adding Asik and Davis improvement. In Asik's worst season he was worth 2.5 wins. Not to mention they were giving away games at the end of the season. So yes, that would be a borderline playoff team

You have nothing to back that statement, lol. If Anderson and Jrue both played 70 games, that would have been worth another 7 wins. Add that to the fact they were blatantly tanking to end the season as well as what I previously mentioned (AD and Asik) and there is an argument playoffs are a decent possibility for this season

I'm a pretty big fan of the Pelicans. Jrue isn't top 10 but if he and Anderson didn't have their freak injuries last year, they were a borderline playoff team. Added Asik who fits what they needed perfectly + natural progression of AD. I could see them passing teams like Dallas for a playoff spot.

I think you have to say Lance is legit - I hate him too - he is strong defensively and has a well rounded offensive game. Dragic isn't a SG IMO. They played dual PGs last year, same way I wouldn't consider GV a SG either

It really is pretty weak right now. Harden and DD are the only SGs in the top 20 for win shares (Demar is 20th)

Have they shown any designs for what it'll look like?

He's one of my prospects

A few Jays nuggets from the KLaw chat: Logan (Saskatoon) Is Dan Norris a viable September bullpen option for the Jays? Klaw (1:14 PM) He's clearly coming up. No way they promote him to AAA that quickly (too quickly - what did he learn in AA? A little New England geography?) unless the plan was to get him to the majors. Chris (Toronto) Franklin Barreto is doing well in the Northwest League as an 18 year old. He has a shot at top 25~ for 2015 right? Klaw (1:22 PM) Top 25 Blue Jays prospects, absolutely. Klaw (1:22 PM) Pro tip - there can only be 25 prospects in the top 25 and only 100 in the top 100. I'm sorry but that's math. James (Toronto) What are your thoughts on Pompey and Jimenez? Is Jimenez more of an org guy now with the elbow issues? Secondly where would you start Pompey next year? Klaw (2:16 PM) AJ Jimenez? Backup for me. Pompey's a potential regular/leadoff guy - I'd start him back in AA next year. Alden (Toronto) Is Dwight Smith Jr. nearly as good a prospect as D. Pompey? Klaw (2:16 PM) No. LF only, lacks the power for the position. He's under 5'9".

We gotta hit some games buddy

Did you guys see the schedule? 4 National games should be fun. Nov 13 vs Bulls on TNT!

It's much more enticing when he's free

I was seriously debating picking up Tomlin two days ago, in case he got his spot back. You dickbag!

Lol yep, it's pretty great. I needed Chavez to continue what he was doing, instead he got turned into a middle reliever who doesn't get holds. Getting Nolasco, Ubaldo and Cashner back soon. Not that the first two are great, but I can at least take Ks/Ws with a big rotation. Honestly, I am much more pissed at my offense right now
