    He wouldn't accept mediocrity. He would have built this team around AB and Bud by now.

    No way they give Pekovic for Martin. Rule #1 never trade big for small.

    Translation: get rid of dwill and b-easy and get me a playmaker on offense. This is my point also.

    The twolves need to trade dwill and b-easy and whatever and find a guy that can rise up and hit a midrange jumper.

    I'll throw out a name: Jan Vesely. I'd trade dwill or b-easy and even a first round pick to get this guy from the wizards. He is the truth, or will be.

    They should go all in on Eric Gordon, they'd be favorites in the West.

    I considered gordon also. But I think a shrewder move would be to cherry pick Ben Gordon.

    I like Eric Gordon, but I am not in love with his game. I think you could get a cheaper version of him in Mayo.

    They really need a guy with length and athletic ability who can shoot.

    I think you are right but maybe Martin and the Dallas pick

    or

    Kevin Martin and Samuel Dalembert
    ...For...
    Nikola Pekovic, Martell Webster (5,712,000 - team option), and Wesley Johnson

    it'll probably be something like darko+utah's pick for martin on draft night.

    I can see us ending up with 14+15+16 lol

    Is Mayo about to show the world he's on Wade's level next year?

    And you know right after the draft Morey is going to say that said 14,15,16th players drafted were actually number 6,7 and 8 on the Rockets pre-draft board... and the majority of the CFans posters are going to predict those players drafted are the next Carmelo Anthony WITH defense, Paul Pierce and the 2nd coming Hakeem Olajuwon.

    I agree all the way with what they're saying. Rubio and Love are untouchables is a given. They should try keep Ridnour and Pekovic too.

    Derrick Williams+Barea should net a solid piece in return. Hope someone else makes a qualifying offer Beasley and Randolph which they accept, then dont match. Wes Johnson isnt working out either, trade him for a future pick or another prospect. Then buy missing pieces.

    Bonzi Wells, Bobby Jackson, Ron Artest, Kevin Martin, Brad Miller.

    Helped us so much.

    dont say that ...they might hear you!

    True if we can trick adelman into getting martin..it helps up..but if they are smart they offer near max to gordon and they would honestly be one of the best teams in the west

    Rubio
    Gordon
    not sure who there best SF is
    Love
    Pekovic.

    that is a sick team

    Whichever team signs Gordon is guaranteed a bad contract.

    ehh possibly if they pay too much

    I dont think they will regret him as he is an excellent defender and averages 20+ 3 or 4 rebounds and 4 or 5 assits on great shooting precentages...gets a steal or 2 a game


    Hes like a lee but with better scoring abilities.
