    I think it would be very interesting to see Blake Griffin away from Chris Paul. Clearly as a 1-2 combo in PNR they are deadly, but I would love to see Griffin expand his game on his own. He is a pretty good passer. You could run the offense through him. There is more potential there that is untapped because CP3 drives the ship.

    Agreed. Blake has expanded his game tremendously since he came into the league, offensively. He still has explosion, but he's a very solid mid range player who can also create off the dribble and has become a great creator in general.

    I'll correct you on this one.

    For a big, Blake is an excellent passer.

    He excelled in those two games without CP3 during the WC Semifinals. I think he averaged 5 or so assists each game. I think we found ourselves in a 2-game trough due to a combination of that and the tailspin funk of Harden losing the MVP on the eve of Game 1.

    Why do I think that we missed our chance to dump Brew for Morris?
    Now it looks we have to look into the lakers trashcan.

    It seems whoever we're interested in since we buy low sell high... we end up having to postpone that philosophy because they blow it up/blow up a part of themselves.

    Missing out on Morris is a huge mistake --> as big as draft his brother over K Leanord

    I am not sure if contracts match and taking Kj's salary and Jones caphold means that Wizards pretty much give up from Durant before even meeting him.
    But it's a good deal. Just that they can't take on any non expiring salary.

    and that's why you are annoying a lot of the times. Because you come back after months and out of the blue being petty by posting irrelevant posts..why? To boost your ego?. :rolleyes:

    Anyway with so many excellent young bigs Capela's value has taken a big dip.

    The rockets would still have ariza and brewer in that trade and playing Dudley at pf does not help the rebounding issue. In your trade we would be giving up on McDaniels as well. They need to get a wing and another vet Pf/c for tj and brewer. They could also use another playmaking combo guard that's less streaky than Thornton and less of a defensive liability than Lawson or Terry.

    To TOR: Terrence Jones + Pj Tucker + PHX 2017 2nd

    To HOU: Luis Scola + TOR 2016 1st

    To PHX: James Johnson + LAC 2017 1st

    Trade proposed by many craptors fans, who think this is a great trade for their team. Suns fans also agree.

    I just hope Masai also agrees.
