    Wouldn't mind Frye just for spacing and certain situations. Need a wing, ideal would be Rodney Hood I think though I think they can just trade him for at least something. Maybe they'll accept Chriss as a salary dump and a 2nd rounder?

    I dont think this is true. I figured that was rumored cause they didnt know what boogie would bring. Boogie n looney is more then enough at the 5 for them. I thi k we should get him thats my number 1 guy

    1. Lopez please morey. Ive seen enough

    2. Ariza.

    3. Jeff green would be interesting but probably dont need it.


    Lopez n ariza is the dream. Bring back house then beat gsw in wcf n get that ship. Easy

    Paul(30) / Rivers(18)
    Gordon(30) / Harden(10) / Rivers(8)
    Harden (24) / Ennis OR Green (16) / House (8)
    Tucker(30) / House(18)
    Capela(30) / Faried(18)

    Not much room in that rotation for many of the small names being floated. We have very little rotation minutes left, we just need to bring House back. Outside of that, the only needle mover would be trading for a real impact forward player, not anymore role/bench players, especially none that are mainly centers, or guards.

    I think he is almost 30. Maybe they would for some 1st rounders.

    Knight is enough to match Lopez salary, and i think a 1st might get it done since imo nobody is going to trade a 1st for him, but i don't know how much the Bulls are interested in being players in free agency, if they want cap space to be players in free agency they probably won't do that and might prefer one/two 2nd rounders with an expiring contract...if that's the case, we just can't trade for him.

    I mean, i'm just saying it cause that's what was reported like a week ago ;)

    Go for a cheaper Reggie Bullock instead. 6'7'' 3/D, quick jumper 39.4 career 3 point shooter, 2.5M UFA.
    He won't be a buyout obviously, but perhaps Morey can snag him at the Feb 7 deadline. If that isn't possible House can be brought back.

    Would love to trade for him. Perfect player for us. Feel like half of the nba would be in on him though

    Yep, and i don't think Minnesota will trade him anyway, why would they? He's still kinda young, really good contract, one of the few good defenders they have...

    Depth is actually better than last year. We don’t need to add anyone else, just keep people healthy. CP3 should be playing even less than 30mpg since our 3-4 guards are Gordon and Rivers. Squeeze Rivers all you want in the playoffs, but that guy should be playing 25mpg in the regular season. Get House back and you can even relegate Ennis to spot minutes as a “defensive specialist”. I liked his late game defense much more than his late game shot the past week that’s for sure.

    Get Zaza and Bullock, as cheap but useful additions, if no one else is available. Retain House if possible too. Bullock can play, House can be insurance. Zaza can get physical with Cousins, even right now. None of these players are buyouts however. Ennis and a couple of 2nd rounders plus Hart should be offered first.

    Call me crazy but I think Luc Mbah a Moute could be an option if the Clips continue go down in the standings. The Lakers should rise when Lebron returns.

    I mean yeah it’s pretty crazy if you think a player gets bought out of a what 1 year, 4 mil deal

    I agree. Only a blockbuster will do us any good. We are plenty deep enough when cp3 and capella get back. We don't need any more middlin players. When Faried fell in our lap our last glaring hole was filled. Only a very clear upgrade at SF should be considered and I don't see anything worth giving up our bench for being available. When Knight becomes an expiring then it won't cost as much to unload him.

    The guy has played 4 games this year. The guy was also either horrible or injured the second half of last year.

    PEOPLE OF CLUTCHFANS, LET LUC MBAH A MOUTE GO!

    Mo Speights can provide same floor stretch as Frye. Cheaper too.
