    Because paying someone $12m vs paying them $500k really puts things in perspective.

    If we signed Ellington and traded for a legit power forward like Randle, I would be so, so happy.

    I'd be comfortable moving Gordon if we can get Ellington.

    Randle is not a power forward in today's NBA.

    he is playing center in NO.

    This year's buyout list (including rumored) has been better than I can remember.

    He’s lost a bit of athleticism but still has plenty to attack a scrambling defense. Philly is a very talented team, but their spacing is terrible at times, since none of their 3 stars are snipers from 3. In Houston, Chandler would get open shots all day and have more space to operate.

    Hate to agree but you’re right my friend. Ellington ain’t scaring anyone on the downside of his career. Poor defenders need not apply. I like Wilson but think he is a very much needed rotational piece than the SF starter we need. I’d love Randle and a SF starting type. Oh well

    If Tillman wants us to drop below the lux tax there’s no way we use our MLE.

    It could be .

    If we have ...

    Harden , Paul , Gordon , rivers , shumpert , and green .

    How is Ellington gonna be anything more than deep bench material for us .

    Also consider , Ennis has been playing well .... and we might resign House (who is not the shooter , but is a better defender and slasher than Wayne )
