STAN will have to give in. He publicly mentioned his displeasure over RJ as a player. I dont think he will end his year there. What other team out there will be in need of a point guard? Rob needs to mantain his posture and not give in.

I think Rozier can be obtained for a guy like a future second round. I don't think he is currently playing any role with the Celtics and will eventually leave for nothing.

Unless we just trade coaches and Gm. If that trade ever happens Stan will be coaching a lineup consisting of: Payton Fournier Harris Moore Vuc. Weird. He just wants to come back.

If we do that is because Henny and Vogel still think we can make the playoff and Detroit is giving up on the season. Im not sure giving 3 starters will help us achieve that. In fact, if Henny still thinks we can make the playoff, rest assure he will trade our first round pick on a package for someone that can help us now. But the Detroit package will likely make us worse this year. I will not include the top pick for that package. Maybe the late first round pick.

I think the RJ trade is happening. People in Detroit are freaking out. They want a trade after striking out on DMC.

Talking of inept people. Mitch is not really a good gm either. He is just lucky. Lucky to work for an LA dranchise where most players eventually wish to play. That was a dumb move on his part. He should it give them what they wanted. Im glad he didnt pull that off tho. Better for us.

Poor Matt Barnes and Afflalo. What do you do with them now? They still can be productive for some playoff contenders.

We should push them Hard as well. We own their 1st next year and now with the Pelicans getting better, I dont see them making the playoff anytime soon. They will give us a top 10 pick next year.

We are still hoing to see a lot of AG at sf. Book it. We have 4 picks this year. 2 guaranteed contracts on our 1st's and 2 second picks. I doubt we want to hurt our cap situation with a guy like Ben for this summer free agency. We need as much as Cap as possible to hire starter quaility FA. We can get our future back up SG with one of those 4 picks.

Agree. I want to see Mario getting more time in the court. No need to add another average player taking over some of his potential time in the court to develop.

They are currently doing better than us. Not sure If we feel any better at the moment. At least they have a good histoty of been great in the past.

I think they will be ok. I dont think that what they got is a pile of trash. They felt Boogie was not worth the 200 mills considering how much trouble he has been over the past few years for this franchise. Honestly, he has not done much for that franchise either. They needed a change and Hield, Galloway and a first was the best they could get. They had a log jam in the front court and they can start fresh with their two first picks this year. It happened to us with Ibaka as well. The market out ther is rough and nooane wants to give away assets. Im surprised Toronto didnt give Powell and their first for Boggie prior moving forward with The Ibaka deal.

Absolutely. Why not? This is what all star players will be getting. No way we cant get away of that if we ever want a star player in this team.

If Boston gets Butler then it will be interesting to see what Indiana does with PG. No way Indiana will go past Boston, Toronto or Cleveland. I will go hard for PG Now.

We might end up with two early 2nd round picks as well. To be honest, for me, this 2 second round picks are likely more valuable to us than the late 1st round pick. Just a few picks away, Easier in the salary cap and we can still grab decent talented players. I rather give the late first here.

Those were two great trades. The Hedo trade back was bad. Letting Gortat go was bad and the arroyo and Darko saga was also bad. Im not sure who has been worse.

I think that was Otis.

They have the leverage here. We have Henny.

So in retrsopect, if this trade goes thru, we traded: Out: Ibaka, Payton, Hezonja, DJ In: Ross, Reggie, Benu and 2018 second rounder. What a beauty!

Why would we want reggie jackson? I dont want any of them. But if the lakers are interested in including their pick, I trade for Metta for all I care. I don't want reggie and I dont want Benu.

If that is accurate, i rather go for loui williams instead Jackson. Why do we need Detroit here for?

The Tobias trade gave us cap room which we still have to use this summer. I cant say much about that trade yet as Tobias really hasnt done much for Detroit either. I rather have the cap space and playing time for Hezonja and Gordon. I was ok with that trade. I dont think I have been extremely excited with any of the trades. The worse move in my opinion were getting rid of JJ for tobias in the first place and the firing of van gundy for vaughn. Then was giving Saric and a first for Payton followed by the no signing of either Dedmon or Oquinn and giving the money to Biyombo. And finally the oladipo and 11 pick for 6 month of Ibaka. Best move.. his first move. Howard trade saga.

Apparently, he didnt seem so excited at the press conference. He didnt answer the question in regards he free agency. He said it is too soon to talk about that. Interesting answer as he said he wanted to resign with Orlando once he was traded here. I guess he felt the cold weather.

Im sure Green will go for 30 today as a response to the trade.
