    Johnathan Motley out of Baylor —> 2 way Clippers
    Amile Jefferson out of Duke—> 2 way Magic
    Yante Maten (undersized think Chuck Hayes) —> 2 way Heat

    Yes they are locked in with another team but still very obtainable

    Seem to be nice prospects, but no way does D’Antoni play these guys. If we are not going to trade for Dedmond, and Lopez wants to go to GS, I think Willie Reed would be our best “cheap” option. If we could sucker Phoenix into giving up Holmes that would work as well.

    At this point I don’t know what Morey can or will do. Maybe we should give up on trying to a wing and just go after a 4/5 who can grab a rebound, catch lobs, shoot and play D. We need another big, and starting caliber 3 if we want to beat GS, but if we can’t grab a freaking rebound or protect the rim, this season may be doomed.

    For the first time this season I fear missing the playoffs. We need another big man NOW.

    Willie Reed suffered a season-ending shoulder injury on Wednesday. Reed was playing for Utah's G-League squad, but they'll be waiving him now that he's done for the year, and he has a long recovery ahead of him.

    If Lopez goes to GS I will scream!!! I want him here. GS is stacked already.
    I'm with you on fear of making the playoffs, but even more on falling flat with no good backup for Clint.

    So Knight/Chriss and 1st to ATL for Dedmon, JLin. Then we trade Melo and attach a 2nd at the deadline to some super protected 2nd rounder which will never be conveyed

    Or Morey isn't competent enough to make effective trades these days. Remember that offseason Suns trade? Why are all of you guys immediately blaming it on Fertitta?
