    acquiring klove or thompson would take the team in 2 very different and interesting directions. i'd be pretty happy with either as long as we don't give up something stupid for them

    Add Oubre to the trade and add Marvin Williams on a buyout.

    Shoot 80 3s a game :D

    I would like that... everything but Love protecting the rim.

    Please no. Love’s contract is more than toxic.

    This actually makes a ton of sense financially

    House / Harty for Bryant is a net increase of 5.1m, which leaves us under the tax still. Maybe even enough to add a buyout guy with some wiggle room.

    Westbrook
    Harden
    Covington
    PJ
    Bryant

    Tristan Thompson? Any team with a significant rebounding disadvantage as big as ours, should welcome Tristan Thompson

    Shooting sub 30% in the g-league does not make you an NBA-level shooting five.

    I'm weary skeptical of his defense... really skeptical.

    What really stands out is that he shoots an astonishing 82% at the rim, a whole 10% higher than Clint this season. That is INSANELY elite finishing at the rim, DeAndre Jordan's most efficient season at the rim was 77%... Bryant has shot above 82% at the rim all 3 of his seasons.

    He has a little bit of a 3pt jumper but very low volume at only 0.5 makes per game, way better then nothing though, definitely shows he has the potential at developing a nice shot.

    His rebounding is solid, not elite like Clint, but a respectable rate for a center.

    Bro, PJ is starting at C.

    Any big they bring in is coming off the bench.

    A healthy Bryant would be a huge acquisition for us.

    22 year old Thomas Bryant (who is already showing signs of becoming a helluva player) playing with James, and being fully developed by the Rockets legendary Big Man Academy.

    Count me in.

    I told a client of mine an agent will be bringing an offer for a condo of hers that I listed for her, and have not seen anything from that agent since they said they would bring it forward a couple days ago.

    I now fully understand how frustrated my client must be.

    Bryant would be a real nice pick up. 7'6" wingspan, pretty fluid player, nice shooter, on a good contract, and would fit well here. That said I have zero clue why the Wizards would give up on him unless they are worried about his foot or something.
