    Tyler Ennis could be traded immediately.
    Kings (if they're serious about a zero tolerance policy regarding Ty Lawson) or Wizards?

    Players with known fragile health:
    Beverley
    Nene
    Anderson
    Gordon
    Motiejunas (if he signs)

    Players that are unproven:
    Capela
    Harrel
    McDaniel
    Dekker
    Wiltjer
    Onuaku
    Ennis

    Players who are either old or proven unreliable
    Brewer
    Prigioni

    So of all the players we have for now, only Harden and Ariza can be called "solidly reliable." Pretty scary if you ask me.

    Ariza (and Bev) more likely to go than Brewer.

    Bobby Brown needs to be dumped for sure, I think you keep Wiltjer on the roster and you bring DMo back because Wiltjer's shooting is near elite if he adds anything else to his game he's a solid rotation player and DMo is a starter quality player that can step up if/when Anderson or Nene get hurt. They'll need that depth. Personally I'd drop Granny Shot, I know they drafted him, but given the talent on the roster, why waste a spot on a guy who maybe in 3 years will be a bench guy and is worthless till then?

    Brewer is like that fungal infection you can't get rid of.

    I have no doubt that if there was any way of dumping him on someone else, the Rockets would do it in a heartbeat.

    I think for now dmo is not on the roster and wont be for rest of year. But when he agrees to terms he will come back and one of those bigs will be gone for future picks

    We cannot trade our 1st round pick. If Harden gets injured we'll be one of the worst teams in the league.

    Why not give your first born, as well? Way way too much for RG.

    RG + 1st/Bev + Brew? Much more realistic IMO. Even then it isn't a great match-up.

    Kyle Payton I
    GP II and Kyle Witjers college stats split down the middle to form one perfect basketball player.

    211 pounds, 6-7"

    18.2 PPG
    7 RPB
    3.3 APG
    1.5 SPG
    50.6 FG%
    Shoots 4 threes per game at 38%
    Gets to the line 4 times at a 75% clip
    1.8 TO

    I spent way too much time on this post.

    I mean, that would be nice, but that would take some Trump level negotiations to get it done. If that was possible, don't you think it would have been done ages ago?

    Ariza simply much easier to move.

    no, only you have been privileged enough to watch the games, and witness GP2's steals, errr, i mean steal...

    in 3 games played: 39min, 8pts, 3-9FG, 1-5 3PT, 2asts, 2 TO's, and 1 lonely steal. but the -15 on +/- shows that his lockdown D is making a difference though!

    Sorry, it was just a counter suggestion to the 'one on the table (sic)'. I believe that if there were a Gay deal to be done it would already be done, here/where/anywhere.

    Bev isn't going anywhere (without a Knight or similar coming back, and where do you see that coming from?).

    So, no, what it might take to make a deal between'n'betwixt DM the GM and Vlade the la di is defined in opposite strokes by those folks.

    This roster is far from set, there will be changes before season and by trade deadline. Small or big changes, who knows, but there will be changes.

    We're talking about Maury here.
