    The only reason you'd make a move like that is to get space under the hard cap for other moves.

    I can almost guarantee you that there would be side implications triggering this deal. Getting more room under the hard cap would be one, but this deal doesn't work from a dollar to dollar basis.

    McW sucks. But Lawson sucks too so it's a lateral move.

    At least you have a taller PG. Don't know about is handles or drives to the basket. Don't need a PG that shoots but one that can pass and run the offense.

    This is just not true at all for this team and it baffles me that people still think this.

    He'd be an instant upgrade over Lawson for his defense and rebounding, that alone combined with him being on a 3 mill rookie contract next season, makes this trade more then worth it.

    Hopefully this has legs.

    It's true. I mean, he rebounds well and plays solid defense. He can pass the ball better than Bev, Brewer and Ariza.

    He's not as bad as Lawson and that's a plus.

    Maybe he can be what Ty Lawson was supposed to be for us.

    Shaun Livingston can't shoot either, but GS utilizes his strengths (post ups) and he does just fine for them as a back up. Not advocating the trade, just saying there are plenty of ways to contribute.

    Very true and it's the first thing i thought of. Better passer, defender and rebounder. Those are great traits for teams that play switching defense like we FAIL at trying to do.

    Would rather have Rubio. That's how bad MCW would fit.
