    Really, with a front court lineup of Howard/D-Mo/Smith/TJones and add in Dorsey for spot minutes, I don't think the front court is really a major need compared to a playmaker

    Lolwut? OK next time people point out Morey treats players like assets please remember this thread and everyone who wants to trade player X.

    Personally, I don't think it would be a good idea to do trades now because teams wanna jack up the price, the maximum value of the NOP pick will be in the summer just before the draft because then everyone forgets the quality of the NBA and orgasms over players who have never played in the NBA before.

    I would be fine though even if we just keep the pick. If you remember when Boston created their big 3, everyone was expecting the 3 guys to do 90% of the work and it didn't happen that way, they only won a ring when they had midleve, guys PJ Brown and James Posey, and Perkins and Rondo in rookie scale contracts. After Brown retired and Posey got a fat contract elsewhere they didn't have enough gas to go past the Lakers, and after Rondo and Perkins graduated from rookie scale they collapsed.

    So the moral is rookie guys can give you great depth on the cheap, in the same way Stevens is doing for OKC or DMo is doing for us now. Another high impact rookie wouldn't be bad for depth.

    They will most likely try very hard, but it takes two to have an intercourse.

    Lawson does give us some penetration which could open up things. He can break down the defense easily.

    What's wrong? A 7 foot offensive post weapon that is also one of the better post defenders in the league is not good enough for you?

    I'd rather have DMo stay at the starting PF spot.

    He's been doing both. Works good that way. Dwight goes out and he slides over to the 5.

    Ty Lawson sounds good to me. Id prefer him over Dragic.

    Seriously... Where is the 1st shread of evidence that Denver is looking to trade him? Just because Doc mentions it in a tweet doesn't mean the Nuggets are looking to move him.

    Dragic
    Bledsoe
    Rubio
    Ty Lawson
    Jamal Crawford
    Brandon Knight
    Kemba Walker
    Reggie Jackson
    JJack
    Mo Williams

    Anyone off this list would do wonders for us. Not saying they are on the block from their respective teams but it could be feasible.

    You desperate or something? First, second, third, fourth and fifth things 1-5: you were an inside who knew about these supposed deals going down. Now you come with these threads asking us if we think a move is needed when you were so certain before they would happen. Is this for real?

    I can't believe there's anyone that believes they know if he will or won't.

    I will keep saying it until it happens.

    No playmaker on the perimeter other than Harden = early playoff exit.

    Need that second guy on the perimeter to help Harden and keep defense honest.
