    Damn, can you imagine how much they'd ask for a player that was actually good and didn't choke out his teammates?

    Bulls had the opportunity to rob the Kings and they decided not to do it. lmao

    Dwight just needs to be gone. Big Al could very well work out and Hawes can at least play basketball.

    Uh no.

    Taking on years of Hawes salary because "Dwight just needs to be gone" is just plain dumb.

    I know, but still, I don't want a Dwight who doesn't want to be here. We're too far into this. I hope Morey can shake one player like Marvin Williams.

    This. We are better off straight up rebuilding than trying to put up some Frankenstein team to try to "lure" Durant.

    The only thing Big Al can work out very well nowadays is the chicken wings buffets and Hawes is one of teh worst contracts in the league.

    Obviously this deal involves multiple first rounders. It's still kinda offensive.

    If you're going to deal Dwight, you need to dangle him in front of a team like Charlotte that doesn't have the ability or appeal to draw major free agents.

    So if we're unable to get Boston to play ball with the draft pick(s) game, a team like Charlotte could have a lot to offer.

    Something like...

    Dwight, Lawson for Kemba Walker, Al Jefferson, Marvin Williams. Just an example. Very low risk since Jefferson and Marvin are expiring and Kemba is worth every penny of his $12M annual salary.
