Sources: Morey keeping close eyes to extension eligible deals that may go bad

I have no beef with your post. It was funny. I have a beef with people that would want Kemba but not want Rubio.

 

Rosas is making a list, he's checking it twice, gonna find out who's been naughty or nice. He'll know if you're disgruntled... he'll see your team can't pay... he'll want you if you're expiring... so b**** hard for goodness sake.

 

Duly noted. I,too, would rather have Rubio than Walker. At least the argument can be made for Rubio with "Well he's elite at passing and is a pretty good defender..." whereas Walker has pretty much no argument.

"He can score 18ppg on 40% shooting"........

 

I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with you- and laughing at the person who suggested Kemba (at a max contract) in the first place.

 

The Dan Fegan angle with Rubio makes me think that a deal isn't very possible. Unless its all part of the Dwight deal LoL

 

Kemba would be a good fit, but he is not a realistic option,IMO.

Honestly I would prefer Rubio over Rondo.

I would be down for David West as well if it was possible.

Rubio/Bev
Harden/Terry
Ariza/Pap
West/DMO
Howard/Capela

 

I'm sorry, but how is this insider info? Isn't this what any GM would do? This isn't exactly breaking news.

 

Not really. Morey is pretty aggressive along these lines....and he has a team in which other stars / semi-stars might have interest (i.e., playing with Harden and Howard would have to be a lot more appealing than, "Hey, Milwaukee wants you, are you in, or do I tell them to eff off?")

 

Shoots the ball relatively well from everywhere on the court?

35.96% of Walker's shots are mid-range and he only shoots 37.2% on those shots.

25.97% of his shots are in the restricted area and he only shoots 48.95% on those shots. That number is 6th worst in the entire NBA of any player that attempted 80 or more shots in the restricted area last year. The only players with a worst percentage in the restricted area are Jordan Farmar, Kendrick Perkins, Austin Rivers, Ricky Rubio and Aaron Brooks.

It's always a bad sign when a player's lowest shooting percentage is from the zone where he shoots the most.

Beverley is a a much better finisher at the rim and is also a better 3 pt shooter.

 

I, too, am on that bandwagon. But, Lin? The gent was sent packing with a #1 because of his contorted contract. Otherwise, he would have bee dealt with 'better' return.

Bass and TJo? That I could see.

 

Worst offseason ever. Pretty much completely unenthused by going into the season with a 1st or 2nd round exit team. This sucks. Does anyone actually think this team is a contender? Should have signed Bledsoe to an offer sheet the moment Parsons signed with Dallas.

 

Not this season. But soon.

 

I'm all in for Jimmy Butler or Ricky Rubio.

Gettttttttttt'r done Morey.

 

Not with the team we have now - but I'm still optistic that Morey will come up with a great signing (although hope is dwindling).

 

There's a reason no team chased after Bledsoe, because no team wants to go through what Portland and Houston went through, spinning in circles, season after season, because one of your key players cannot stay healthy.

 

This. Bledsoe is too much of a gamble for the price tag he comes with. People see a little razzle dazzle and suddenly think a player is worth a king's ransom.

I just can't imagine paying 5/70mil to a player who has been in the league for 4 years, has had TWO knee surgeries, and has missed half a season TWICE out of those 4 seasons.

 

T. Jones is better than most names listed here. I lol'd when I saw Tristan Thompson.

 

People just want something new. Though I will say I believe Thompson is better than TJones.

 

Probably the same reason many posters are talking about giving max money to Rubio lol. Walker and Rubio are both far from being max money players.

 

That is what's called "the grass is greener on the other side" theory. LOL
