    Morey is a master genius at his trade.

    Melo and MCW are done! Knight, Chriss and nene are not useful pieces. Please trade unplayable pieces/picks for useful pieces so that we MDA can reduce playing time for Cp3 and Tucker. What change is needed? The sooner the better!

    8 useful pieces are very available! Who do you like the best?

    Nikola Vucevic, Orlando Magic (expiring)

    Wes Matthews, Dallas Mavericks (expiring at 18.6 million)

    Courtney Lee, New York Knicks (two years and $25 million left on his contract)

    Kent Bazemore, Atlanta Hawks

    Patrick Beverley, Los Angeles Clippers

    Avery Bradley, Los Angeles Clippers ($2 million of his nearly $13 million salary in 2019-20 is guaranteed)

    Kyle Korver, Cleveland Cavaliers

    JR Smith, Cleveland Cavaliers ($3.87 million of his nearly $15.7 million salary for 2019-20 is guaranteed)

    Morey will look to offload Knight's corpse and Chriss. Knight's corpse doesn't expire until the end of next season. It would be tough for another team to give up an expiring for a non-expiring player who isn't contributing without us giving up a couple first rounders (the Ryan Anderson thing all over again).

    From your list? Bazemore, maybe, whose deal also ends in 2020. Although Atlanta has shown no inclination so far to make a deal.

    That's the law, dude.

    Bazemore is the only option
    Matthews looked done
    JR looked clueless in last season final when Cavs went switch on everything defense
    we need player that can play SF/SG not SG/PG

    Give me Vucevic, Beverley, and Korver. But they have to be on the super cheap and it has to be giving up Chriss/Knight/MCW or similar.

    I have a feeling Morey is trying to see if a certain Gordon Hayward is available .

    Bazemore is the only one who would fit and give us something pretty good imo, not sure i would move a 1st for him if with that pick you can grab a young player with upside though...i mean, i don't expexct Knight to come back and be good or anything, but if that does happen, might be better to move something like Chriss and 1st for Oubre and use Knight as a backup for Paul, if Knight can't come back i guess we are forced to move him, and if that's case Bazemore makes more sense. At that point i'd ask for Dedmon too, Knight + Chriss + Nene + 1st + 2nd for Bazemore and Dedmon

    I'd also like to get Pat or Bradley, Korver, but only for cheap, no 1st rounders for them.

    JR sucks.

    Matthews would require Knight's contract and so a 1st rounder, not sure he's worth it and maybe the Mavs wouldn't take on a two year contract regardless, pretty much the same thing for Lee.

    Vuc just doesn't fit here.

    because i follow Doncic the genius I did watch couple of Dallas games and gosh is Matthews awful. It's like he plays for his contract year putting up shots like he is some border line allstar but is so uneffective at that

    Morey is human being.

    If you are trading Knight/Chriss/nene, you don't get stars, you only get useful pieces.

    I would put everything on the line that the McDonalds High School basketball team would beat any team in China. It might be the worst competition. lol.

    The sooner the better. Look for available players. Too many unplayable players here ....

    Trade Knight for James Johnson? Johnson is not available.

    Trade Knight for Tobias Harris? Harris is not available.

    I like
    Kyle Korver
    Jr Smith
    Vucevic
    Or Courtney lee

    I doubt clippers would give us Bradley or Berverley

    Bazemore would be nice too but idk if we can get him without giving Gordon.
