Sources: Rockets plan to resign Dwight this summer - NOT to MAX deal

I am sorry I don't understand what you are saying. Truthfully I don't.
Tween and twixt?
I know that Middleton wants to be in Milwaukee because he has continuously been saying so , didn't even talk to other teams just for a single meeting, and because of his character and because he has embraced the leadership of the squad even if it was forced down his throat at first. For one of the smallest markets in the league with the second worst weather, that's extremely important.
Someone like Ibaka would leave asap.

I dont' think that the Bulls would trade Butler for Ibaka. (they don't do any trades anyway so it's moot).
But after that, after you go past the top 4 SGs, the value is equal to Ibaka in a vacuum.
Ibaka>>Beal Ibaka>>>> Derozan.
Because of the skills he offers.

But let's not blind ouselves to the limitations of Ibaka's games. He is still not a good passer. His feel for the game is still meh.
But because the VAST majority of the stretch 4s are awfully defensively and by no means are they good rim protectors or shotblockers Ibaka's value is immense.

And no way Kanter can bring back a good sg. No way in hell. He is one of the worst contracts in the league. And he has a trade kicker on top of that.:grin:

 

Barnes is going nowhere right now. Only people sitting on the outside who want to believe they dont want to lose him for nothing want to think they would actually get rid of him in the midst of the historical run they are currently on right now on their way to a 2nd consecutive title

 

That's good news. I hadn't given much thought to his free agency, but I guess I implicitly imagined him getting a max contract even if I wouldn't give it to him myself.

 

for someone who is very much part of the unstoppable 5 lineup w/DG at the 5 even you should know better then to make statements like this.

 

1. The Bucks are dumb if they trade Khris.
2. Serge is just as valuable as Klay and Jimmy, but the key difference is that those guys already got their 5 year max contracts so they're guranteed to stay while Serge is looming for his and can sign else where WHILE getting paid more since the salary cap will balloon by like 19 million.

3. I do see Blake getting traded if Doc gets desperate. No insider, but a team like the Nuggets makes sense.
4. JVG with Russell sounds sweet.
5. Some other stuff I forgot

 

The Bucks are trash. They need a real coach down there.

 

No, what they need is a real point guard.

 

Cyber any news on trade targets rockets related?

 

Let's see now.....

And....

Okay, and....

 

Thanks I had seen those the first time I had just wanted more info lol I'm like a junkie now lol

 

Xiki, when Malakas says "here" in words of Middleton, she refers to the bucks.


I`d say I agree with you, rim protection is a premium skill, but in today`s league, elite 3pt shooting can be as valuable.

I´m new posting here, is BBhollic some kind of insider??

 

I'd much rather have RA back than JVG any day...I'd LOVE to have Sampson back...but only as a defensive assistant to another head coach. I guess what I"m saying is I want RA back as HC with Sampson back as an assistant :grin:

 

Bbhollic believes he is an insider. No one else does, but he sure believes it.

 

Not ranting. You asked, "Based on what?" I explained it to you.


Keep on believing what you will.

 

Thanks for the answer, BBholic has some great points, but believing Barnes is disposable for the Warriors is not one of them, again, from my perspective.

 

Welp, I don't think anyone expected Morey to give him a max, but no chance that actually happened lmao.

 

I didn't say what I believed about Barnes. I said what I thought the Warriors believed about Barnes.

 

I posted this in the "future coach thibs" thread:

 

Barnes won't get traded, even if asset wise doesn't make sense. You don't mess with a championship. That's your goal. One championship in the hand, than a questionmark chance of 3 more championships in the future.. And without Barnes the championship is not a given by any means.

Don't forget what Cyber said about Utah. IF utah gets a pg even a middle of the pack like Teague they WILL be a playoff team. They may even go over the Rockets and Mavs in the standings.
But what matters is that it's very possible that they will kick the Kings out of the playoff contention. Then what?
Is a Cousins deal in the books? When after all the effort this year, suddendly they find themselves after the trade deadline looking at 5+ games behind?
And the mavs..they are already falling if Utah gets a pg, then they can be out too.
Will that give Cuban more incentive to go after Howard harder next year?

And another thing. If Atlanta trades Teague..and then Horford is traded or leaves then what about Milsap. He's one of the best pf in the league a true all star. But he's 30. If Atlanta starts the rebuild with Shroeder+ Burks + picks + whatever Horford brings back then Milsap is out of place there.
And his price in the market should be exceptional. I hope Morrey goes after him.
