The Wolves just released their rights to Nemanja Bjelica who shoots 40+% from the field and almost 40% from 3pt for his career. 

Could be that stretch 4 man we're looking for?

That would be good.

Pelicans let Rondo go and sign Randle for the same amount of money? wtf

[TrueBlueDrew 75]

Okay, imagine with me: 

1) We sign Nemanja Bjelica to officially close out our big man position 

2) We sign Vince for the MLE

3) We sign either Dante Exum or Isaiah Thomas

4) We trade Fournier/Biz to the Timberwolves for Wiggins/Dieng

5) We trade Vuc/Ross to the Cavs for Clarkson/Hood and 2nd round pick

 

PG -- Clarkson/Exum/DJ

SG -- Wiggins/Simmons/Iwundu

SF -- Hood/Carter

PF -- Gordon/Isaac/Bjelica

C -- Bamba/Dieng/Birch

I guess you fail to realize that Randle is younger than Rondo

No way we get those trades. Super one sided

Do we even have the money to sign Exum, Vince, and Bjelica? I'm pretty sure Gordon ate up a lot of it.

I think the most they could have offered Rondo is the full MLE. Not sure what the difference is dollars wise between that and the Lakers deal but was Rondo vital to them? Or could the take a chance on someone cheaper like IT? 

The Randle move is smart. They can even bring back Cousins since they have his bird rights. Add Davis and Mirotic and they have a good four big rotation.

It depends on how the other franchises are looking at their teams. The MIN one, I'm not sure would work, but if they value KAT over Wiggins, then maybe they'd consider it since Fournier is probably a little more consistent scorer (not sure on that, just guessing)

The Cavs one I think will work. Hood wasn't getting any love in the playoffs and Clarkson lost the chance to contribute when they drafted Sexton.
