    I don't think teams are balking at the idea of acquiring Dwight. They just don't think he's worth what Morey is asking for. Or they probably do and are just trying to pull a fast one him using the injuries and age as an excuse.

    I compare Burke to Flynn. Small guard, quickness inside. He is a backup at best. Hell anything is better than Lawson. So we get a minor upgrade if this happens.

    Peeps complaining about getting Burke for Lawson, seriously? Lawson should be cut the way hes played this year. If we get anything of value for him I would be surprised.

    Even if every team in the league has made massive offers for Dwight, Morey won't pull the trigger until he HAS to (ie, the deadline, or one team calls up and says 'we are sending player X somewhere else now, give us Dwight').

    Relax. 20 hours before you hear something.

    Kelly Olynyk didn't make it to practice. And Jones didn't go to Phoenix.

    HM.

    Reading the tea leaves, I think Morey's deadline marching orders from Le$ are "Get me the hell away from this tax."

    My bet would be Lawson and Brewer are somehow moved. Dwight stays until the summer.

    BS. He is getting dealt.

    Burke is actually a very good shooter. His problem is that he rarely gets to the rim (and doesn't finish well), which is what puts him at mediocre efficiency.

    3-10ft: 43%
    10-16ft: 48%
    16-23ft: 47%
    3pt: 35%

    I would take him.

    Bayless + Plumlee for Bev + Jones.

    Would you do it?(don't ask for anything else unless you want Copeland).

    so is D Mo, and Bev too. No one on this team but Harden and Ariza can stay on the floor.
