    You alluded to us not making big moves. Not whether it was good or bad. I’m taking a wait and see approach. I’m crossing my fingers.
    IMO it was a big move because the dynamic of the starting lineup is greatly changed for better or worse.

    Perfect scenario would be TT getting bought out and we scoop him up

    I still think the guy we want is markieff Morris ... 40 percent shooter can play the 4/5 for us.

    The question is can we get him . He fits under the LT , but do we have enough assets to convince set to trade him ?

    Weighing this vs buyout opportunities.

    It isn't necessary a lateral move if you are going be putting a successful line at all times of the game. If Capela stayed, we would of been forcing a less successful line up to play half the time. It's a dynamic change which you can't just consider a lateral move. You weakened your paint defense, but offset that by improving your perimeter defense a lot.

    During the playoffs, teams will take away the lob option and will also take away the option to drive and dare Russ and Capela to beat them that way, now it will be more difficult to do that.

    Yes, we did weaken some aspects of our team, but I feel we really did strengthen other parts that I believe will be more important to being more effective in the playoffs.

    Sucks about Morris, but that's Tilmans cheapness biting us in the ass.

    I think we botched a snap while in shotgun formation on the goal line. We are currently looking at 4th and goal from the 30 yd line.

    Centers are undervalued in this era.

    F it, offer FRP and House for MONSTREZL and end day on bright note.

    The Clippers would quickly decline your offer. They are trying to win the championship this season.

    Morey should move one of the TPEs and necessary 2nd-round picks for either Markieff Morris or Nerlens Noel, however.

    Gota hit an owner where it hurts. The monies. If you end up going to games don't buy anything from the shops or food or beer. Can you imagine if not a single person bought from the concession during a year of basketball? Yikes

    Ironically one of those players was on our team last season.

    Either way we wouldn't have wanted Drummond, he is basically going to supplant Clint in his defensive anchor non-shooting center role.

    There's a reason we targeted Wood instead of Drummond.
